Hair!

Hi!
So my wrist and elbows seem to want a bit of time in the spotlight these days and this morning trying to straighten my hair was a total nightmare!
I suppose the angle that I need to hold the brush/straighteners at is awkward and so that's what is causing all the pain (mostly in my wrist) but what I would like to know is has anyone came up with a solution to this problem?
I know it's a silly thing to be upset over but it's just been the icing on the cake after a fortnight of flare up!

Hi,
I'm too rough to even shower without fainting at tho moment so I'm wet wipes & bed rest only, it's not good enough, you could fry an egg in my hair ... Tmi, sorry!! :shock:
My remedy, coz of my shoulders wen I'm not in this current state, is my daughter & if she's not around I shove it up half & half cos it's so much quicker than trying to straighten it!! Brushing during natural drying helps too.
(((Hugs)))

Sorry. I struggle to comb mine even with a specially adapted comb. I finally got my hair cut short when I could no longer manage it.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Thanks guys xxx. A small issue in the grand scheme of things but annoying nonetheless!
Marianne I bet your hair isn't horrible. It's the classic tho eh people with straight hair want curly hair and people with curly hair want straight hair!
Aw that's rubbish Debbie I really hope you feel better soon.
Sticky wicket I used to love having short hair but the way my hair is it takes more effort than it does when it's long! Hopefully getting a steroid injection on Tuesday so that might help it! XDont look back because that's not where your going0 -
If I have to, I use my straightener lying on the bed leaning on my elbows with frequent rests. It takes forever, so it must be a special occasion. Mostly, it's 'as is' for me. I cut it pretty short and I use a serum to tame the wildness. It works most of the time (I think :?: ) but then I say 'whatever' anyway Can't afford too many spoons spent on hair.....0

I completely agree boomer it's not worth too many spoons!
Ps I totally love that spoons explanation! It's such an easy way of explaining it to people and if you can have a visual element that goes a long way to help people understand.Dont look back because that's not where your going0 -
Aww its not silly at all, its one thing I strggle with..like you say icing on the cake.I hope the flare eases up very soon ((()))Love

Hi Rachel, I have naughty hair that is a pain it's neither straight or curly it's sort of kinky! So I have to dry my hair and then straighten it. I was doing OK taking breaks and swapping hands while drying it and straightening it. But since December it's been getting harder so now I have my OH do it for me! I do use emotional blackmail on him but it works!!0
