8 QUOTES WITH «DRYER»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word dryer.
1
Daniel Bruhl
My special thing as a kid was to play dead because I thought I was really good at it. When I was 7 or 8, I even did it in the bathroom with a hair dryer in the bathtub. I realized that I was good at it because each time my mom would scream.
2
Taylor Dayne
All you needed back then was a blow dryer and a dream.
3
Helen Fielding
It's rather fun writing a female spy, because she has so much more kit. Bond never carried a hair dryer or a makeup bag. And he certainly didn't wear an uplift bra.
4
Edy Ganem
I use my Bionic flat iron and hair dryer, all shampoo and conditioners are sulfate free, and keep the blow-drys to a minimum. If I can go two to three or even four days without washing my hair, I'll just go for it. I know, sounds gross, but otherwise, I'd be frying my hair.
5
Susanna Hoffs
My hair is naturally curly, and in the 80's, even though I experimented with different lengths, I generally wore it curly. Since then, I've learned how to use a blow dryer and flat iron.
6
Jacob Latimore
You know when pillowcases come out of the dryer and they get really wrinkled? I iron them.
7
Vidal Sassoon
Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn't have time to sit under the dryer.

Adriana Trigiani
I am in total silence when I write - I don't even like the sound of the dryer going - I like the quiet.
