I don't believe that Nicola Sturgeon hasn't seen a hairdresser since we went into lock down. Nor did i believe the piece in the papers recently saying she cut her own hair. It is far to immaculate and layered for a novice to do. Or maybe she was a hairdresser in a former life??

Wish I could cut hair as good as Nicola and dress as well as she does she’s always immaculate . my DH has hair similar to BJ he’ll look 20 yrs younger when it’s been cut. Sadly he won’t let me touch his hair something about not trusting me eh where would he get that idea from?. I’ll be thinking soon that I’m married to a tomboy oh I cannot wait for that day. wink

Until I started reading the GN political posts, I never realised how many posters despise NS!

If I had to choose between her and that bumbling fool Boris, it certainly wouldn't be Boris.

What I can't understand is those GNers who live in England and get so worked up about Nicola Sturgeon. We can be furious with Boris Johnson because he can have a huge influence on our lives, and Jane10 can find the current Scottish government, which affects her life, wrong in many ways. People in England, on the other hand, are not affected by anything Nicola Sturgeon does, so why does she upset some of you so much?

God you NS haters really are desperate aren’t you? You sound utterly pathetic and childish.

Nike conference

Here is a taster for starters.

But what about telling fibs about her hair Jane, that's what this thread is about?

I know nothing of the Nike conference - do tell.

Jane10 Sat 30-May-20 15:40:59

Also not a fan. Unlike the Downing Street press briefing, Scottish journalists have their microphones turned off after one question especially if it's about her non disclosure of the COVID-19 outbreak at the Nike conference in February. Yes February! I could (easily) say more!

Brunette10 Sat 30-May-20 15:39:02

Totally agree Marydoll with your post in all respects. I'm not a fan either but NS has def come out on top when it comes to addressing Scotland each day with her update. I even said to DH this morning that at the moment I trust in what she says and what she is advising for the moment. Now there's a first!

Marydoll Sat 30-May-20 15:20:15

I really don't think NS is foolish enough to compromise her integrity, position or lockdown regulations, by having hairdresser do her hair.
Look at the fallout from the Dominic Cummings fiasco and reading GN posts , there are many who dislike her and are waiting for her to fall from grace. .

I'm not a great fan, but I think she is doing a great job. However, anyone could be seen to be doing a great job, compared to Boris!

Riverwalk Sat 30-May-20 15:00:51

I can't imagine for one minute that NS is telling fibs.

Did Digby Jones really make that silly comment - has he nothing better to comment on?

His Biography

paddyanne Sat 30-May-20 14:15:30

Nicola really doesn't need any of us to back her up she's more than capable of standing up for herself.Have you ever watched her at FM 's questions? She regularly puts The three musketeers firmly in their place thats Carlaw.Leonard and the one known to Corbyn as Willie Rennie Mackintosh....lol What that man knows about Scotland canbe written on a cigarette packet and leave space to write to biography .

humptydumpty Sat 30-May-20 13:55:24

I once shared an office with someone with a short cut not dissimilar to NS's and was gobsmacked when she said she always cuts her own hair - so it can be done, ye doubters!

Elegran Sat 30-May-20 12:55:49

In Spetember 2019 she was picured cutting the hair of msp David Torrance while a barber looks on, probably giving advice. admittedly stills prove nothing - they could be posed - but if you search on Youtube for them, there are a lot of stills taken at different stages in the cutting process. It would take a lot of foresight to have set them all up just in case it was doubted six months later whether she was capable of cutting her own hair, with instruction by an expert.

I would give her the benefit of the doubt - I would not have believed that I could cut mine, before I tried it. What is more relevant -the purpose of any deception on this issue, which encourages the general population to have a go at their own grooming, is far different from the purposes of the various offenders who have tried to get round restrictions for their own ends.

Grannynannywanny Sat 30-May-20 12:50:11

For anyone desperate for a haircut and wary of trying it, I’ve so far trimmed mine twice after seeing a recommendation for thinning scissors. I have a short hairstyle.

I was pleasantly surprised by the results and they are very easy to use and if you go at it in stages you can’t really go wrong.

Plenty of demos on YouTube. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I’ll not go back to my hairdresser. But I think I can confidently space the visits out more and alternate with a DIY trim.

Something that’s concerning me: how come with enforced social distancing, Nicola Sturgeon’s hair is immaculate? All done herself? Always? I think we should be told!

That’s today’s tweet from Lord Dibgy. A few days ago he was attacking those who dared to suggest Cummings did wrong by driving to Durham and his day trip to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight.

That’s the best he could come up with. Pathetic.

petunia Sat 30-May-20 12:40:56

ah found it on twitter, Grannynannywanny. so i wasn't alone in my wicked thoughts of Nicola sneaking off to get her hair cut and coloured. and lemongrove is right. if she can make such a good job of it herself, why go to the hairdresser at all after lock down ends. maybe if she doesn't get elected next time, a new career option will open up, in hairdressing

i think Nicola sturgeon is like Jeremy Corben, you either love her or you hate her.

Elegran Sat 30-May-20 12:38:01

I wonder if she has bought the same clippers I use? They give an evenly graduated effect.

Elegran Sat 30-May-20 12:35:32

Searching for the video of her cutting her hair, I found one with the title "The secret behind Nicola Sturgeon's perfected quaffed locks revealed" I didn't know you could drink your perfect coiffure!

lemongrove Sat 30-May-20 12:30:46

I agree Petunia a short sleek style needs an expert cut, there is nowhere to hide the mistakes.

Calendargirl Sat 30-May-20 12:29:50

Yes Charleygirl, I’m sure Boris does possess a comb, as occasionally his hair has a combed appearance.

Other times, he’s obviously left it behind.

petunia Sat 30-May-20 12:29:15

i didn't see Lord Digby's comment, but i will seek it out.

i agree with calendergirl- many in the public eye are looking immaculate. i find my attention wandering as i gaze at their perfect coiffures.

I'm 11 weeks away from my last haircut and am sorely tempted to cut it myself but I fear making a hideous mistake. And as I return to work shortly, I prefer a shaggy look to a lopsided fringe and a bald patch. I agree with charleygirl, layering is a skill which makes me doubt that she did it herself.

mary51 Sat 30-May-20 12:24:04

Perhaps it's a wig!

Charleygirl5 Sat 30-May-20 12:23:28

I wonder if Boris possesses a comb? That would help a lot.

lemongrove Sat 30-May-20 12:18:08

I wonder if those GNers who think that NS really is cutting her own hair,are Scottish, therefore feel a bit on the protective side where she is concerned?

I don’t think for a minute she is cutting her own hair, and if she really is then she should get rid of her usual hairdresser, because she can do it just as well herself.?
