Hello everyone, I have just signed up to the long hair boards and i am very glad i did!
My name is Kate and live in Stafford, England, currently working in customer service.
It was a my new years resolution this year to grow out my hair, i started at 18 inches in Jan curently at 21 1/2 as from today! I always had shoulder length hair in my childhood and teen years so now i am in my twenties i feel its time for a bit of self descovery!
I should hopefully get a pic up by tomorrow too!
Look forward to hearing from you all  ------------- Hair Type 2a/m/ii |

Welcome Kate!
I'm sorry, I don't know that it's possible to change the username. Perhaps direct your inquiry to the Forum Administrator? http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=52 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=52
Sounds like your hair is growing well and quickly. Woot!
Stay cool.  ------------- |

Hi, yes I have my own horses, but I do not have a ranch! I wish. Actually where I live, I am unable to have my horses here, but my relatives are keeping them for me (they have about 16 more!).
But anyhoo, you're welcome! ------------- RANITA~~ ----------- What good is life without a horse??!!! |

Yay! Looking forward to seeing them.
 P.S. I think the extra "h" in your nickname becomes you.

Hey Hun
Which one did you get? I agree about the smell but its worth it to be cone free! ------------- Hair Type 2a/m/ii |

I got the damaged hair one because I folded and used another semi dye and my hair probably needs it. Seems to work just fine. No dryness or anything. Looking forward to see what happens with it.
