I’d sooner take advice from a person who could hold their hands up and admit they were wrong rather than the person who keeps doing the thing that is damaging and insisting that everything is fine

I think it's the same with here - making a situation worse by doubling down (portraying here as vicious trolling) rather than acknowledging her own questionable conduct ('stalking' Tattlers' social media).

I know it's hard to admit you're wrong but whenever I've done it things have turned out really well.

I’m really interested to see how her hair will end up in, say 10 years (as well as her face, tbh). There’s only so much it can take. I’d be really worried if I was her that it will all snap off and something drastic will need to be done

Same, but I don't think her hair will last 10 years. I think she'll find a quasi-medical reason to stop bleaching - e.g. she's developed a rare condition in which the bleach is over-stimulating her unusually sensitive scalp.

I think that’s very probable @Aude. I can’t say I’ve ever noticed her layers. It has to be from breakage which usually happens around the face/at the front

In case people don’t like the very strong scent of the Wonder Water, Amika do one called The Kure Multi Task Repair Treatment which I’m currently using and it’s amazing. Very light but has a huge effect on my hair which is thick and can be frizzy and gives great shine. I PAID btw!

Have you got a referral code? I've just filled a basket with products based on this post and about to purchase. I'm on a beach holiday and my highlighted hair is absolutely wrecked by the sun and seawater!

Look how much hair had been yanked out and she’s just left in the brush yet claims in the comments it won’t cause any damage!

ETA: Sali saying ‘Hershesons’ with those new gnashers made me piss myself

That stupid Benefit brush never fails to make me think of the LifeAlert infomercials

Also, at first glance that pic looks like it has an enormous levitating hand in it. It’s like the hand version of

And that hair is decimated, especially in the “after” shot. How can she have the gall to shill anything hair related?! Plus she’s not even pretending to be grey any more is she?

It’s truly baffling on so many levels how she can look so smugly pleased with herself.

Why is her forehead lumpy? Is that filler?

I really think Sali is missing a trick, if she focused on getting her hair back to good health she could turn that into content. Instead she’s throwing all the tools and extensions at it and hoping to mask the damage. Such a missed opportunity when she could be doing a “how I saved my bleach destroyed hair” journey

Even as she starts using that heat brush, you can see her hair frizzing. I tried the Living Proof stupidly priced leave-in creme at her recommendation and it did nothing and even needs to 'heat-activated', which I don't see the point of.
My hair was fried from using heat, mostly GHD straighteners, and no amount of (even pricey) stuff was working. I'd not had it trimmed for 9 months but 2 people asked me if I'd had a cut, so clearly it was just breaking at the ends. I cottoned on to The Blowout Professor from reading here, took his advice, tried a few products he recommended and since March I reckon my hair has grown close to 2 inches. I think the biggest factor has been no heat styling, not even a hairdryer, but I can also say that Pureology Colour 21 Benefits Leave-In spray and Moroccanoil treatment have worked wonders for me (Professor recommendations). My hair will never be amazing, but it's certainly vastly improved.
 
My auntie had a bit of the Sali-isms in that she bleached her hair and relaxed it and it kept snapping off at a certain length and instead of admitting the mistake, she tried to convince us that it was both low maintenance and innovative because it was "self styling" (i.e. she didn't need to cut it because it did all the hard work of a cut and style for her by snapping off at jaunty angles). Thankfully she got over that weird phase but her hair took a long while to recover and featured The Big Chop.

Sali might actually look quite OG-Sali Manic Pixie Girl chic if she had a shorter, even pixie, cut in a more natural-to-her shade. I know she can't use dye, but she uses toners and there are all sorts of brunette toner/rinses/glosses out there now. But I think she's too far down the Insta Hun rabbit hole by now for that.
 
I would say this as someone who’s made a similar mistake of persevering with bright hair colours for years, because they felt part of my identity. There comes a point in life when of course is still ok to hang onto the more dramatic than few shades of our natural colour dyes, however accepting they’d be much harder to maintain/ cause more hair damage/ look cheaper, especially on already thin mid- to long hair. Damaged, fried hair that doesn’t suit one’s natural colouring is not a good look imo.

I think that's right but I wonder whether there's another explanation: that she does in fact see things as they are but has learnt that if she spins things differently (most) people will accept her version without thinking or enquiring for themselves.

Describing here as 'trolling' is the prime example. Despite there being no evidence, it would now appear to be an established fact that she was/is the victim of vicious trolling - just because she said so!

I wonder whether, having so successfully shaped the narrative around Tattle, she applies the same approach elsewhere, describing things as she would like them to be seen rather than as they are and knowing that her version won't be questioned: a uniquely honest beauty journalist rather than social media influencer; democratising skincare rather than cashing in on her 'beauty editor' role.

I genuinely don't know - cognitive dissonance or skillful reputation management? Maybe it started as reputation management (knowingly describing here as 'trolling' to justify her own questionable conduct) but then finding the managed version more comfortable than the reality?

I love this, Aude, but I wonder if it’s just another wannabe Trump: “I feel this and I want it to be true, therefore it *is* true”. A monstrous “my truth = objective fact”.

It’s a mishmash of both your theories, but I think it’s a very modern development, where likes and follows mean even the most off-the-rails hypocrit can still feel like they’ve got backers, so they can’t actually be *wrong*.
 
Have noticed in a couple of pics and screenshots from vids lately how pronounced the ‘join’ is between her own (trashed) hair and the extensions she has “for volume”. Her own hair is so uneven and broken. You can see it pretty clearly here in this @Jelly Bean ss from the Revlon charidee backslapping event
IMG_3614.jpeg

Not perfectly drawn, but if you look at the pic on the left, whenever I’ve drawn the jagged red line on the right is where all her breakage is and the two big lengths of ‘flat” noticeable extensions start. It’s not just in this one pic, it’s noticeable in lots of them and on both sides of her head. Those extensions are really poorly blended in because her layers are snapped and uneven and her natural hair is a wreck.

If she stuck over time to just one stylist/colorist and salon and PAID rather than #presstreatment shopping, her stylist/colorist would get to know her hair and styling routine and be far more likely to advise her honestly what she should and more crucially should not be doing at this point. As it is, with all those #PressTreatments well, you get what you pay for, including pretty honest advice (not wisdom because Sali knows all about all) which just amounts to smoke blown up her arse.

Sali, wake up and stop being such a pathetically brittle know it all. Your natural hair condition is TERRIBLE, those extensions are genuinely starting to look like a ten year old’s play clip-ins from Claire’s accessories, the overbleached early noughies flat one-dimensional blonde colour doesn’t suit you at all, and it’s all going to all snap off if you’re not incredibly careful.
 
I honestly do believe that if she stayed away from all heat styling, ditched the bleach, got a haircut and deep conditioned the living hell out of her hair it would be back to normal within a year or so. And vastly improved before then. She’s just so stubborn that she won’t admit it was a huge mistake. She is actively choosing to continue to destroy her hair rather than just putting her hands up and admitting it was a mistake. Baffling

Agree. I think I have the same type of hair as SH - fine, mid brown - and some years ago had it bleached almost white. Within months it was breaking off, despite being coloured by one of the top (i.e. expensive) London colourists. I think fine hair, in particular, can't withstand the overlap of bleach that inevitably happens when you colour the regrowth. Curiously, it didn't break off evenly but in patches. I had it cut into a pixie cut. I'd never before had short hair but it actually suited me and I got lots of compliments. It seemed to grow back to shoulder length, and beyond, in no time at all.

Is she off to Greece soon for the annual holiday? That won’t help her hair.
 
Talk of Greece just reminds me of 2022’s pyjamas and beatific gaze into the middle distance

what does she think she looks like? I'd be intrigued to know. This is what I imagine i look like when I clock the the cat has been sick on the rug again and I'm trying to pretend I haven't noticed so that my husband will deal with it. Cute that she thinks she looks wistful etc
