Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. Hug
 
By the way, last week I switched to using this Dove super moisturizing conditioner for dry or damaged hair, and it works wonderfully. It has cyclopentiloxane (I've been away from hair terminology for so long that the word cyclopentiloxane looks wrong to me) and dimethiconol.
 
Dimethiconol, by the way, being my ultra favorite cone.
 
Here is the ingredient list.
 
Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Glycerin, Quaternium-18, Fragrance (Parfum), Propylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Potassium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, TEA Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate, Lysine HCl, Silk Amino Acids [Alanine, Glycine, Serine, Arginine, Isoleucine, Cystine, Histidine, Glutamic Acid], Borage (Borago Officinalis) Extract [Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Oleic Acid, Eicosenoic Acid), Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone
 
Just thought I'd share.. if it's a godsend for me then it's probably a godsend for somebody else.
 
love
Anais

Welcome back Anais, it's good to see you again! Big%20smile

I'm just back myself after a 2-week absence due to a much-needed vacation.

I hope you're able to find a bit of time now and then to pop in and participate... it's always nice to read your posts. Thumbs%20Up

Wow! Your hair grows so fastSmile. It's looking lovely though. That hemline site is great although it's strange that there's no V hems on straight hair. Thinking about it, that might look strange though.

So glad you are back, Anais!  The dress sounds gorgeous!  Have you used the Lutterloh Pattern Making system?  It is awesome.  I'll try to find a link and post it, if you are interested.  You can design and make patterns for anything you can imagine.  I love it!
 
Take care,
SF

Hi Anais!  I'm glad you came back!  The hemlines page is great too, after seeing all the great pictures, I actually changed my mind about what kind of hemline I'd want from what I thought I'd want.  Very helpful!

Hi Anais. The dress sounds very stylish. Have you looked in op-shops? Or maybe you could sew it yourself? You are very talented so I bet you would do a great job of it.

Hi Anais,
 
I am sooooooooooo glad to see you.  I missed your posts and am so happy you are back. 
 
We have been adding lots of new features to HairTalk in your absence and will be filling in the blanks this week on some of the new options for the various new boards and threads.
 
Again....sooooo glad to see you back.  ((((((HUG)))))

Hi Everyone

It's been awhile, I'm sorry and I missed everyone so so much. Things have been amazing - my hair has, however, been a bit neglected.
A hair update:
• The routine hasn't changed all that much. I usually do a CCC with Suave Citrus Smoothie, Suave CS again, and then Suave BioBasics or that blue Kirkland Lemon Gingerroot stuff, always combining CCC with an ACV rinse. When I'm really pushing for time, I use a Chagrin Valley shampoo bar and that makes my hair dry faster.
• Trimmed some. I'd be at classic length right now, but it's about mid-butt.
• last measurement = 37"
• No new hairtoy-related acquisitions

A life update (or what I can post online, at least):
• been getting more and more involved in reporting, editing, and production for a weekly paper.
• been going in search of a house (to buy next year)
• been going in search of a c*cktail dress to help host VIP dinner party later this year (the dress i have in mind doesn't exist: sleeveless, boatneck, a-line skirt that comes just past the knees or to mid-shin. Kind of a fifties Jacqueline Kennedy look)
• some life-changing experiences
• eating healthier, drinking more red tea, loving life

I hope everyone is doing well. After being away from so long, people's hair looks longer.

love and blessings
Anais

That is way cool Anais! Thank you so much! I think based on that guide that I am going to go with a blunt hemline or a mild V. What a bunch of beautiful hair.

I hope the allergi is better by now, be sure to get enough rest (without K pestering you) You deserve so much more!

Congrats on reaching your goal

Hi, glad to see you back, Anais! I've been in the same place you are, not having any motivation, that is. (remember, I've never had any medicine, but then again, I've never had any serious needs!) Besides, you are such a motivation (and I think I can speak for everyone!) to us all here! Welcome back!

P.S. Congratulations on reaching your goal!!!

Hey Anais! I've been missing you and wondering how you are doing. Thanks for checking in and the update. I had a terrible amoxicillan reaction a few years ago with very itchy hives and swelling so you are not alone! I think mine was prescribed for an ear infection as well. I am glad you are feeling better. Much love to you!Also, CONGRATULATIONS on reaching tailbone length - WOOOHOOOO
