Hello everyone. My name is Rini and I'm new to this board (but am a bit of a board veteran in general!). I've been posting over at another long hair board, but found it a bit strange. I'm just looking for support and friendship and hopefully lots of GREAT ideas! I used to have long red naturally curly (3A) hair, but cut it due to postpartum hair loss (3 babies in 2 years will do that to you!). I'm now considering growing it long again as my hair is no longer shedding (well, not like it was) and I have been able to give up chemically dying my hair (thanks to Henna). I also use a sulphate free natural shampoo and conditioner (although I rarely shampoo), no styling products and don't use any heat on my hair. I'm really hoping that this time I can get nice long healthy hair to enjoy :) Currently, my hair is just shoulder length, but it seems to be growing quite fast. I get a little bored with it, so I'll be looking for some upstyles from all you knowledgeable ppl. Of course I'll have to adapt them for my length Anyway, just wanted to say "G'day" and I'm looking forward to trawling through the posts for some inspiration! |

Well G'day to you too Rini! It's great to have you join us and I hope we can help you out somewhere. Your hair sounds fabulous.

Well thank you girls! Anais, I checked out your site and spent way too long reading all your info (managed to burn the meal I was cooking!)...well done on all that work you've put in MrsMNK, have you used Body Art Quality Henna before? It is quite different from the usual Henna you buy pre-mixed. Much better dye release and AWESOME conditioning. I mix the pure powder with yoghurt and I get amazing colour and conditioning. It totally transformed my hair. It's been my best discovery in recent years. I'm a regular on the hennaforhair forum, check it out if you want more info on Henna. |

Missrini, I think I got flogged on the "Short Hair" board for telling you how stellar I thought your long hair was. (lol) You'll have that! Anyway, I'm *very* happy to see you here, and thrilled you are growing it back. LOVE the red! (lol) You are one of those women who could look great in any style, but those looong curls are simply tantalizing. Welcome, Bob |

Hi Rini, Nice to see a fellow Aussie here and just wanted to say hello and let you know that if you want to speak to a long haired lover from Australia at any time, that I'd be more than happy to help...and I am great at giving girls encouragement when growing their hair long. I wish you all the best with your hair growing adventures. John |

Hi Rini, I remember catching you one the Short Hair thread. Anyway I'm really pleased you're "growing-out". I'm another redhead who went short and then grew long it long again, so good luck and have fun. Sarah ------------- |

Yay! Hi everyone :) Such a lovely welcome!!! And people that I actually "know" too. Hi Bob and Sarah (yes....that WAS me when I cut my hair....and it turned out OK too, I'm just so happy that it's thickening up and looking healthy now, perfect for growing). Redhaired girl, how long is your hair now? I remember that you weren't too happy when you cut it. John, where in Australia are you? I'm in Adelaide. Do you have long hair or just an admirer? Anyway, thanks for the welcome and I'm really looking forward to the support that this forum evidently provides |

Hi again Rini, I'm in central Victoria, my sister used to be in Adelaide but has moved up to the Barossa now. As for me, I can only wish I had long hair...nature hasn't been kind to me in the hair department, so all I can do is admire long hair on girls and offer all the encouragement and support I can to them.
