I’m baaaaack!!!!!

Thanks for the info, girls.

Kalika: I am seriously considering switching to wigs and pieces for a while. Are you back in extensions yet?

AMM: Excellent, I'll PM ya. Just say no indeed.

SAS: Fabulous, and thanks for those links. What are you up to, girl?

Mocha: $30 a year is chump change! I'm in. Clip in wefts, perhaps. Just don't know what I'd clip 'em to at this point.

Luckie: How are you? I knew I was forgetting someone. Duh...

What's everyone doing with their hair these days? Still EP, RK, and FinaWorld for HH and PH & WaWa for synth, or what? Shrinkies still the method of choice? How bout those fusion chips? PBs and heat-seals? I'm drooling over Sherrie's latest install and Leia's Boogiemama masterpiece.

She lives!!!

domain name registration is ~ $30 a year if ai remember correctly, you have to shop around but that's about right. 

There are all kinds of hosting services available.  Some will do everything adn charge you if you breatheon the site, others will simply provide you with storage apace and bandwidth, you will havae to do all the coding.  Everything in between exists.  I'll find out who my friend is using these days, she's of the "I'll do all the work myself thank you" variety.

Sorry to hear about your fryage.  Maybe some clip in wefts for coverage at the top are in order? 

:)

Good to see ya back, Jenn. We missed ya!

Domain names & hosting are sooooo cheap.

Give me a shout in PM if you'd like and I'll make some recommendations of some places and also pass along a site that has free html templates. With an easy program like Front Page, the editing of those plates is a breeze. I think I even have an extra copy of FP if you need it.

Sorry to hear about your hair. With your skin tone, honey blonde with carmel and chocolate highlights would look stunning! Just say no to bleach on bleach!

Welcome back!

Hey girls! Long time, no talk. I've been running around like crazy the past few months with family issues and other stuff. But I've missed you all--and it's good to be back.

An update:

My hair is *so* screwed. Overbleaching has taken its toll. I might have mentioned that when I bleach my roots, it's almost impossible to rinse the bleach thoroughly out of the braids. Well, last time I bleached, I must've overlapped too much and not rinsed it out completely, and I basically fried my hair to about 1/2 inch in certain spots. I truly look like a crackhead. I still have the same hair in the front, but the crown is just awful. The PlastikHaar is fabulous; my own is a real problem, though. I can still wear it in a ponytail, but that's about it. I must figure out something soon.

The other thing I must figure out is this: How do I go about buying my own domain name and launching a website? I've done a lot of simple text coding (not design or hosting) for large sites, but this would be my own start-up site (not ecommerce, extensions-related, or anything--just an online magazine). Any suggestions for Web hosting companies? Can I design the thing and make changes myself? Any ideas about how much something like this usually costs? Oh, and one other thing...does anyone know how much it costs to purchase photography? Not celebrity photos or stock, but images from "emerging" photographers? I know I'm being a bit cryptic about this, but I'm hoping to segue into something more entreprenurial over the next year or so. Working in an office for other people is *killing* me.

Most important, I hope everyone is doing well. Big shoutouts to all the veterans---Sherrie, Mer, Karen, AMM, Syren, Kristin, SAS, FinaFina, Tangles, Gina, Bridget, Boogiemama, JulieJ, MochaChip, ShadowF, SPP, Amanda, Leia, Kalika, Jenn, Kimberly, RoseRose, Rae, Metalgirl, Shel, Stacy, Emma, SansC, Kirsty, Kat, Marie, Octavia, Erin, Blondie, Cybermane,  Bird, Synne, Chris, Kate, LHD, Samantha, eKatherine, and HippyHair (I know I'm missing people here). And a big hello to all the newbies!
