Crimping Additction

Not really what you are wearing, but I suppose we do "wear" our head hair!
Anwyay, yes I am standing up and addmitting that I am a crimp addict! I must crimp my hair at leasrt 3 times a week otherwise I go into withdrawel and start loking like an old rocker!

Do I need to cure my addition, or do I Church Of Satan style, feed my addition? Is anyone else afflicted with this Gothic illness.

I got about 4 inches off the tips this week, so maybe I'll do it more often. I use an original Babyliss crimper with metal plates that smell bad after a while.
Not like the ceramic straighteners you get nowadays!; ▶ Reply to This

Yay for crimping addictions!

To my delight I've found the Babyliss pro 200 is actually rather good, despite the plates being ceramic, and about as wide as a large pencil. The advantage of the narrow crimpers - slightly offset by the repetitive strain injuries to wrist and elbow - is the extra crimp volume, perfect for folks like me with fine hair.; ▶ Reply to This
