I dunno, I certainly asked the nice hairdresser for hair care tips. I don't know if I'm brave enough to go the No Shampoo route, but the Nice Hairdresser is rather fierce on the subject of No Sulphates, which means I've been using herbal hair-friendly stuff for months. Doesn't lather worth a damn, but my hair likes it.

Any decent haircut has a combination of Excited and Sad, it's just a question of which outweighs the other. Sad was very low in this one. It really has been driving me bats long. And it sounds as though you'll have lots of lovely consolation in terms of really good condition, which to me is the holy grail of hair care way above any actual froufrou about cut.
