So, for the first time in my life (recently turned 30), I made a huge change in my hair care routine. And I think only people on this site will appreciate it. I stopped using a hair dryer. I have to thank everyone for their good advice. It's funny... It was a hair cutting nitemare that brought me to this site, but they say everything happens for a reason. If not for the cut and the tears, I wouldn't have sought out my new long-hair friends. I wouldn't have learned about biotin, cones, S&C routines, the horrors of hairdryers, and just saying 'no' to people with scissors. That fateful day back in November has led me to a new lifetime of proper hair care. It's also really nice how so many people here celebrate the accomplishments of the others (such as Purple Bubba's first rope braid, etc.!!!) Cheers, Nekita |

I think it's not so much the long hair part as it's the desire to do something your own way. "Stop telling me what to do with my _________. I like my ________ the way I like it." That could be hair, nails, shoes, clothes, body or ...... Life. I think HB itself was created by Karen because she herself wanted to be an individual and not be made to do things the way others told her. Speaking of which I need to add this to my signature. "I am Pro Individual Hair Choice" Ok done :) I post my pictures and things only to places where I'm comfortable. So if you see them, that means you've won me over. :) -------------

Yay Nekita! May your hair grow down to the floor and out the window (but only if that's how you want it of course)!  ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

Thank you Purple Bubba and Susan. Yes, I would like my hair to grow and grow and grow. The out the window part did make me laugh... :) I needed that. -Nekita |

Hi LadyFrog, I didn't expect to see a reply to this post again! I noticed you just joined in April. You found a great place for haircare advice. I don't make any major hair decisions without consulting my friends here! Cheers, Nekita |
