On more frivolous matters this is just a note to say that I really appreciate the job my hairdresser did in Australia helping me get ready for the heat and humidity here. I told her I wouldn’t be letting a hairdryer anywhere near me in addition to the 35-45C heat here (and I haven’t) so needed a style that would take care of itself. Despite showering normally 2-3 times a day on normal days (many more on ‘hot’ days) the style she gave me has been easily finger-dried and I don’t feel that I look too straggly and it doesn’t plaster to my face with the almost-constant perspiration.
The photo here was taken last Sunday after I had pushed my wet hair under a hat for the 20 minutes’ walk to church in the morning, then got soaked walking home in the rain later. Though the rest may still leave much to be desired I think the hair stood up rather well in those circumstances!
