How do I measure my current hair length?  Also how can I find out what hair type I have? (eg 3a, 4b)?

Thanks for the info...I was also wondering what you guys use to put your hair up in a ponytail.  Are the ouchless (non-pullling) hair bands ok to use?  Before I use heat on my hair (flat-iron, curling iron) what heat protectant should I use?

I think the ouchless bands are good, just don't pull your hair up too tight or too often.  My favorite heat protectant is Beyond the Zone, found at Sally's.

   Yeah,,, i noticethat after having my hair tightly pulled
back in a bun that i get more breakage so whatever u
do try to keep it loose and make sure theres always
some moisturizing/strengthening product in ur
ends!... and as for heat protectants Fanatasia IC
heat protector is fab but it does have lot of silicones, i
also tried the Beyond the Zone which is somewhat
like the Fantasia as far as how it works..
Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED

I usually wear my hair up.  What other options do I have for putting my hair up besides these bands? Anyone have any creative ideas? Thanx.

You can twist it up and use bobby pins to hold it in place.
