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! xoxoxox |

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!

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? :) |

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. xoxoxo xoxox |

Hey Jenny! I thought about you all the time! I got my domain from Register.com but gave it to DROA.com b/c their rates, to me, were a lot cheaper -$25 for 7 years. Hope the offer still exists! ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |

Hi Jenny, I'm glad you're back! I was just asking the same questions about websites. I have to pay for every additional change no matter how small, and I want more control. For your hair dilemma, if it were me and I was going to wear a wigs, I'd try this one: http://www.especiallyyours.com/dept.asp?dept%5Fid=115&mscssid=&adsrc - http://www.especiallyyours.com/dept.asp?dept%5Fid=115&ms cssid=&adsrc = Remember a while back someone posted this wig where you can have your own natural part showing? Also, if you can get someone to do seamless wefts, it may work for you. I just put them on a client who was bleaching her own hair, and in many spots, her hair was broken off to about 1". Using the sandwich methhod and the No Tape hairpiece adhesive, I put them in and it looked good. (it was hard in the very short spots) They have been in 3 weeks so far, and they are holding in there. Good luck! ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

| Welcome back Jenny! So sorry to hear about the bleach incident. Maybe it might be worth it to go peroxide-free for awhile. I'm quite proud of myself...I've used nothing stronger than Clairol Colorgloss since February. It's tough to quit the hair-dye habit, but it's worth considering. |

bleaching - hair dye in general - is so addictive. I keep trying to
wean my self off but my own hair feels so blah without it. I can feel
you pain. :( I hope you figure something out though. But I think, all
things considered, you'd probably look just fine bald Good to have a regular poster back! I get antsy when the board slows down and the regulars go AWOL.
