    Question following on from the supplies for UK LHCers

    Where do you guys buy your supplies.

    I've been living in stylees http://www.stylee.com Theyre a lot better and a lot more versatile than they look. But I'm bored with them.

    I've tried Claires, but the place is always full of kids who look at you as if you belong in the morgue

    Ooh, those look a lot like African Butterflies, but with scrunchies instead of beads. What sort of styles do you generally wear them with, Comfrey?

    Hi
    They are similar only a lot easier on the hair, even the beaded ones. They come with an instruction sheet and you can wear your hair in a load of different ways because you can thread it between each scrunchie layer.

    They make fabulous full ponies and I generally do that because I like my hair off my face, but like showing it off from behind

    My hair isn't quite long enough yet but when it is http://www.stone-bridge.co.uk/index.asp have some lovely looking things.

    At the moment I'm getting oils etc from http://www.akamuti.co.uk/index.php - they're really good, fast delivery, high quality, fair trade etc. All good stuff.
