18. Bumble & bumble Curl Creme

I've been trying to control my hair all my life, but only in the last 15 years have I gained any measure of success. It's a perfect storm, in hair terms, being thick, curly and abundant. (I'm not complaining.) I lose more hair every third day than some people have on their heads. (I'm not gloating.) But my hair does have a will of its own. Mainly it wants to make me look like I have some kind of disorder.

I have bought every single hair-controlling unguent available on the high street. All useless. USELESS. Unless you like having weird crispy hair that doesn't move when you put your head between your knees. Which I don't. Then about three years ago the brave soul I pay to help me control the haystack slicked this posh lookin' (and smellin') stuff all over it - and it behaved itself. Calloo! Callay! Bumble & bumble (the lower case b is their idea, not my typing. See previous blog post.) have invented this amazing curl creme and it is thanks to them that I don't just have to wear a hat all year round. They even make a special one for thick hair. They also make stuff for people with straight hair. But that's just silly.
