Maybe you should change the site name to "I can't believe it's about hair." Quite frankly, your new site is very rude and done in bad taste. This site was to promote long hair and the care of it, NOT sex and how to find an interent lover. If advertising g-rated xxx pictures and women flirting for the camara, as well as, "let's find our internet lover" is what your idea of long hair is all about, then maybe you should be in the porn industry not the hair industry.-Angry

Dear AngryThank you for your comments. I am puzzled....if you were so angry about our site....why didn't you send email personally to Jeff or myself so that we could contact you about your concerns.We do receive lots of private email on a weekly basis from site visitors with their questions, concerns, comments. We appreciate receiving their feedback.I am disappointed that you were not willing to do this or use your name but to hide behind a label of "Angry".Are you aware that this is a free site and that all expenses from the beginning have been paid for by Jeff and myself? Not a penny of the expenses for this site was paid for by Jim Butchee or any other sponsers.Jeff & I personally have spent thousands of dollars providing this site to our visitors. No one if forcing you to visit and you are not paying anything for this site. So why should you be so angry what the site contains?If you looked in the Tips section you would find over 15 different articles solely about hair. If you read all of the hair talk discussions you would find that a major percentage is about hair concerns. If you read the book reviews you would see that they ALL focus on what part hair plays in the book. Most of our links are to hair sites like The Long Hair Site and Aveda. I am puzzled that you said there is little hair on this site.What is the definition of rude? Once again...if you had contacted Jeff or I and used your name...we would have told you that we maintain a mailing list and get lots of feedback from our visitors on what the majority of them want to see. This current site is what most of our long term visitors have specifically asked us for.We created a second forum for singles BECAUSE we wanted to keep the Hair Talk purely hair. Since we have been unable to prevent people from posting singles topics on Hair Talk...we have asked them to limit it to the new singles forum.If you would like to stop hiding and be brave enough to attack Jeff and I personally with your anger...we would be glad to respond to you.If you would like to put your money where your mouth is and sponser this site...we would be happy to address your needs specifically if you were willing to foot the bills.Regards,Karen

Dear Very Angry,I'm sorry that your angry about this web site. You really should chill out as there really is nothing to be angry about. You either like this web site or not. You don't have to visit this web site if you don't want to. However, it would really be a shame to lose you as a visitor. We do care what our visitors think about our web site, but we also realize that we can't satisfy everyone. So I hope you will spend some more time exploring our site and I'm sure you will discover that your comments are off the mark.As to your specific allegations that this web site is not about hair, all I can say is that this site has far more hair care information that it ever has and Karen & I are striving on a daily basis to add more and more of the latest and greatest information on hair care, the hair care industry, hair care products, hair styles and hair styling trends.As to your comment about the g-rated xxx pictures, I can't think of a more odd thing to say. I personally believe that hair (long or short) is a beautiful thing and showing beautiful women with long hair, short hair or interesting hair styles is consistant with the topic of this web site. Many of our visitors are looking for new and interesting things to do with their hair and the gallery gives them many examples of other hair styles.Yes, there is the mystery, sexy, and romantic aspects of long hair and we choose to acknowledge those aspects on this web site. But it is always done in good taste and not with a purient interest. If you are uncomfortable with this aspect of hair then I suppose this site is not for you.As to your questioning our creation of the Long Haired Singles discussion board. The reasoning for this is very clear. Lately there has been a number of postings in the Hair Talk discussion board of a singles/personal ad nature. So in order to keep Hair Talk focused on hair care topics, Karen & I decided to create to the Long Haired Singles discussion board.I believe that you underestimate the amount of work that Karen & I have put into this site to make it everything that our visitors want it to be. Sure we will make mistakes from time to time. Maybe the site will not cover a topic that a visitor wants us to cover or the site will cover a topic that may offend someone, but you can rest assured that Karen & I will always strive to be the best hair related site on the web.Jeff.

Right on Jeff.You are right...you can't please all of the people all of the time. Just the other day I found a photograph in an Aveda catalog that showed a...heaven forbid....nipple. That didn't make me think that Aveda was rude or disgusting or porn hair care.Give me a break...Keep up the great work. The hair care articles have helped me a lot.Carolyn Ann

Angry,I do agree with your interest on providing more "quality" pictures, and the long hair singles forum is quite odd, but the information on this site is good. My hair has grown to a length it has never reached before I had obtained the information provided here. I hope that you and I can avoid the negitive pictures posted and just read the information.Jennifer Ann
