I was just wondering if it is a haircut that I could get away with not styling once in a while. My honey and I are quite cuddly at bed time and she's unamused by me feeling like a pin cushion every 3 days or so. Exam times are also always stressful for me...in which I'd rather study an hour longer than set my hair.
Depends on your hair and what you like, I guess, but I think my middy is my best cut ever, just because it looks nice even when I don't do anything about it. I have fairly thick hair with some natural curl in it.
TheSacredFemme: I was hunting for good brushes for a while, when I stumbled across a set of boar bristle brushes in T K Maxx for a great price. I see you're in England too, so it might be worth a look there. They've made styling a lot easier for me (previously I've only used plastic brushes) and I really recommend a barrel brush in particular.
For my hair hair, it depends on the length. My longer middy looks fine unstyled, but when my middy is shorter, it looks awful. My hair is super straight, so without a set, it just hangs flat. Have you tried Hot Sticks? The set isn't quite as nice as a wet set, but is fine for days when you can't or forget to set and usually doesn't last as long. Is it that your partner doesn't like you coming to bed in a set at all or just on "romantic" nights? I know that I'm not going to, uh, get lucky when my hair is set, so I either wait until after to pin up my hair or try to make my hair last another day. But then, I've been with my husband for nearly 20 years. I figure that since he likes what I look like after a set, he needs to put up with the work that goes in to it.Another lurker here finally peeping out of her shell!
I'll be getting a proper middy cut (or maybe a modified one) at the end of September (just in time for my birthday). I love setting my hair in pin curls and just brushing it out until I have a lovely amount of curl at the bottom, but have also wanted to experiment with pageboy styling. It just looks so clean and smooth!

Aw, Cinnamon, your sponge roller set looks beautiful! It suits you really well. I'm glad you're happy with the middy, and you have lovely glasses too.
I usually set my hair with hot rollers. Since getting the cut my hair is back to being pretty curly. My middy is longer so it still looks fine unstyled plus it's long enough that if I want to put it in a bun I still can. I had my stylist dye my hair blue black the other day and she straightened it out just for fun. I had a good laugh cause the kids at the school all looked so shocked that my hair wasn't in rolls and curled.
