Newbie Questions

A month ago I got 6 in cut off so I now have short hair. What a BIG mistake I made. I thought it would look sporty and fresh & it might, but I HATE it. I want my length back. My hair is healthy and I only wash it twice a week in summer and once a week in the winter. Question-I want to buy a good shampoo and conditioner. What kind do you recommend? I have naturally curly hair so I need a good conditioner too. Between washings I use Infusium Leave in cond. Basically tell me what is the good stuff & I will get it & what is your regimen to maintaining healthy hair?

Do you recommend hair cuts? I really don't trust myself to go to my hair dresser. I think I will go a yr without a trim then when I have some length start going to the George Michael Salon.

I hope to learn a lot from you all and get the encouragement to grow my hair. I have always dreamed of waist length hair & now I am ready to make my dream a reality (even though I know it will take a few yrs to get there).

About me. I am a full time student at the age of 29. I spent 6 yrs in the navy. I have 2 cute kids and a wonderful supportive husband. I live in Fort Worth, TX, although orginally from MD.

Thanks!

So nice to have you join our merry band !!

With regard to product recommendations, I vote for the Phytotherathie range which you can purchase from the HairBoutique MarketPlace.

I think not cutting you hair for a year to maximize length before having a trim, is a great plan.
And a visit to a GM salon for said trim is also very wise.

I second what SuperGrover said: Post often!!!

4 out of 5 huh? Wow sounds official.

Inspired by Uzi's rewording of Lennon's "Imagine," I decided to re-word the old Dentyne ad... "4 out of 5 dentists recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum." (Dentyne, you can b-mail me my royalties).

No chance of falling asleep early here tonight, accidentally or intentionally. Sounds like a war zone outside with all the fireworks revelry.

Traci ya mad woman

I'm watching "Queen of the Damned" for the umteenth time, while I post on 3 different boards.

Ooo...theres the Vampire Lestat in a bath full of rose petals, getting his neck sucked by the Queen.......uunnnhhh...lucky Queen .

Get out Tracy(supergrover)!!! Pulp Fiction In one of my ALL TIME favorites! I went and saw it at the theatre 5 times and I dunno how many after. I love John Travolta - esp with long hair!!!

The scene where they are standing in the kitchen covered in brains, commenting on how delicious the coffee is.....classic!

Welcome to the boards Tracy!!
I use all natural products on my hair by Aubrey and Avalon as well as Jojoba oil on the ends....Read a thread below where a lot of us are listing our hair regimens. I learned a lot from that thread.

I can't believe you like Reservoir Dogs! I loved it, Christian Slater....yum!

Yes, Tarantino has succeeded where Oliver Stone falls short. QT has been able to pull of the technique of "killing as almost humorous" where Stone takes it a few levels too far and just misses it(think Natural Born Killers, U-Turn). I have read alot about this type of directing as it is one of my my favorite Genres. I am so looking forward to "Kill Bill" I didn't know it was in the making. Thanks for the info SG.

Yours in growing! Jacqui
