Hello, I'm Georgie.

Hi Phil, how are you doing?
I'm doing really well, Georgie. I must say, your hair is looking fantastic today.
Thank you very much, Phil. Today we are talking about hair. Now, I can see your hair, but for our listeners, maybe you can start by describing your hair.
Okay, well, my hair, it's short, but it's not very short. I think it's fairly straight. And then the colour, it's kind of a light brown colour. The bits that aren't grey, that is.
You said your hair used to be ginger.
Yes, it used to be ginger, bright orange.
Wow. Well, my hair is naturally dark brown. It's quite short and it's wavy. So sometimes it can be curly, but mostly it's wavy.
Okay, so you've told us about your hair, Georgie. Do you like it?
Yes, I do now. I actually, when I was younger, I didn't really like my hair because I wanted it to be straight. So I used to straighten it to take the curls and the waves out. But as I've got older, I've started to really like my hair. It looks a bit wild and I enjoy it. What about you? How do you, do you like your hair?
Yeah, usually I do. I think, similar to you, when I was a teenager, I just wanted my hair to look different. So I used to try and stick hair gel in it and try and make it do things that it didn't want to do and it wasn't going to do. And I used to get very frustrated about that. And then as you get older and wiser, you realise, actually, it looks fine. And I quite like it.
How does Phil describe his hair (length, texture and colour)?
I don't get my hair cut that often, so it often gets a bit too long and messy for me. And then when I can't put up with it any longer, I go and get it cut. and how do you feel about the hairdresser do you like the experience um i don't mind it um it's not it's not something i really like doing but i don't really mind it i don't have a problem with it and it does feel good to come out and it's a lot neater than it was when you went in yeah how long does a usual appointment take when you go to the hairdresser It depends how busy it is, but if it's quiet, I can probably go in 20, 30 minutes and it's done.
Wow.
What about you?
Well, I think my experience of the hairdresser is a little bit different. If I get a haircut and a hair dye, so a hair dye is when you change the colour, It can take about three hours, but I actually enjoy it. I probably go to the hairdresser once every six months. And when I go, it's like a treat.
OK, you told us about the hairdressers, Georgie. Do you often change your hairstyle?
Well, when I was at university, I once dyed my hair, not all of it, but half of it pink and green. But the dye, the hair dye wasn't permanent. It was temporary. So the color didn't stay, which was probably good for me. I don't think I suited it. But recently, I actually have thought about growing my hair. So I want to grow it, make it a bit longer. And I want to stop dying it as well. So in the last few years, I have been dying my hair a bit blonder.
