Oh Ruthie, I had to giggle at this posting! I used to HATE IT when I came

in from school and Mum would look up and say " Damp out, is it? " because I

looked like Cristal Tipps/Cleo Laine but ginger (take your pick according to

your age) in fine drizzle... but as discussed at today's Surrey Lunch you

always want the hair you don't have!

Thanks Hannah, it is lovely. But harder to keep nice. It doesn't

like getting rained on, blown around in gales, etc. Straight hair wigs

always need to be blow dried after being in bad weather. I'm not very

good at blowdrying, so I have to rely on one of my girls to do it for

me, usually Zehava if she's home. She always blow dries my hat wig

(the one with a net crown instead of hair, worn with a pull-on hat) as

that's the only one I wash at home.

Curly wigs may not be so elegant but since they are naturally curly

hair, not permed, they tend to be easier to maintain. They don't like

being combed or brushed out dry, (they go bushy) but they positively

thrive on being spritzed with water and combed through with an afro

comb, scrunched with the fingers and allowed to air dry, so I prefer

to wear a curly one in inclement weather, and keep the straight ones

when the weather is dry and still.

Ooh I dunno - I've always preferred very straight hair - and that's

what I have (when I was little used to draw hair curled at the very

ends, showing I was a child of the sixties). Mind you, I am a bit

disappointed it has darkened in my thirties from fair to a rather

mucky not quite blonde not quite brown colour. I've permed once (to

shut my mother up!) and bleached once - both were OK, didn't hate

them, but glad to get back to 'me'.

On that subject, does anybody know *why* hair changes colour like

this? Both my Dad and DH started out very fair until they were at

least 3-4 and then went very dark. Don't know if DS1 will do this -

his hair *is* darkening. Meanwhile DS2's is going lighter!
