Well there isn`t an introduction thread! (I feel bad for starting two new ones in one night, oh well). Introduce yourself, describe your hair, tell us about your hair routine, etc. name: Brittany from: Las Vegas age: 14 hair color: dark brown, has reddish tint in it in the sun hair length: just past waist hair type: straight, medium thickness hair condition: I`ve had a lot of breakage and split ends, but after spending apprx 10 hours (not at the same time!) "dusting" my hair it`s much better, so I guess average hair routine: I use Artisun products (www.artisun.com), they`re all natural. I use a shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner (they have long fancy names that I won`t bore you with). I wash my hair three or four times a week. I never blowdry or use any hairstyling products (hairspray, curling irons, etc). I brush my hair in the morning, then put it into a bun, braids, or pony, sometimes I leave it down, at night I take it out, brush it, and put it in two braids to sleep in. HAIRstory: had long hair since I was a kiddo, chopped it off to just below my shoulders in the middle of 7th grade (about two years ago) (much to the dismay of my mother), started growing it out again. At that time and for the next year and a half I was on a dance team, which meant needing super curly hair for performances, which meant curlers that broke off a lot of hair, tons of gel and hairspray, so my hair is not in the best condition. I`ve gotten ONE trim since that day of chopping my hair off (about 3 wet hair inches came off, and that was six months ago). Brittany |

name: Julie Ann age: 20 (wow, that looks so old =) - first time I`ve written my age since my b-day) hair color: dark blonde/light brown hair length: 27 in, which is a few inches past my waist on me hair type: straight, fine, thick side of normal hair condition: unfortunately I have a lot of split ends from being a camp counselor this summer - I`ve been cutting them off as I see them, but I haven`t taken the time to do it systematically yet. otherwise, I`ve been told my hair is healthy - it looks pretty good, even with the splits, so I`d say its decently healthy. hair routine: I have dandruff =(, and so far all the dandruff shampoos I`ve tried either don`t work or cause my hair to fall out. As a result, I`ve been trying all sorts of things to control it - right now I use a mix of water, dandruff shampoo, and tea tree oil, which works ok. Then I wash and condition w/ EP Luxury and Daily Rinse, and put on a leave-in (currently Redkin Anti-Snap, which is the best I`ve tried so far). I deep condition once a week(EP), and do a hot oil treatment every so often. i never blow-dry or use any other hair torture instrument. I put my hair in a braid to sleep. HAIRstory: I have had waist-length hair since I was 5 or 6 (as I grew my hair grew) and have never really cut it - just trims. Since I`ve started college, I`ve had problems w/ hair fallout due to stress(I procrastinate like crazy) and poor eating (for some odd reason poptarts and bagels don`t seem to provide all the nutrients my body would like). ------------- |

name: Natalie age: 24 hair color: dark brown hair length: about an inch above my bra strap in back when dry hair type: curly, and lots of it hair condition: pretty good...never get split ends hair routine: wash and condition every morning with Suave Professionals Humectant. Leave the conditioner in. I do a hot oil treatment once a week. About once a month I put vitamin E oil on the ends, put it in a high bun, and leave it in overnight. hair story: I never had my hair really past my shoulders. Up until 6th grade it was straight. Then I cut it off and permed it. I grew it back to my shoulders but kept perming it. When I was about 16 or 17 I noticed that I didn`t really need perms any more....I had curly hair. ( Some of my relatives had their hair get curly as they "matured" ) So after I graduated high school I cut it...then started growing it out about 2 months later. About three and a half years ago I got it cut again short all over. I really liked it this time. But about six or seven months later I started growing it again. Now I want it to be about waist length. And sometimes it is hard to be patient.  ------------- ?/35.5/ tailbone curly hair <>< |

Reply to message: viewthread.asp?forum=AMB%5FAP881778452&id=234&page=1#24.234.1 - 24.234.1 I`m enjoying reading these introductions! Here`s mine:Name: Katherine Age: 41 Hair color: Medium blonde, with a few white-gray hairs sneaking in! Length: Almost 18 inches from roots at its longest. Still an inch or so above most bra straps! Type: Mostly straight, medium to thick, slightly wavy Hair condition: Good, but it gets dry right away if I don`t condition daily or deep condition weekly Routine: Redken All-Soft shampoo & conditioner, weekly VO5 hot oil, Edwin Paul smoothing lotion on occasion, blowdrying as little as possible - only if I`m trying to avoid leaving the house with wet hair on a cold day or I want to be sure that the ends turn under for an important occasion Hairstory: Waistlength hair until age 16, short hair until age 22, just above shoulder length until age 29, then long from age 29 until age 38. Got a short cut three Aprils ago at age 38, 2 to 3 inch long layers all over. Hated it. Made my face look big and depressed my husband! ("Mr. Rapunzel" - who`s told this story before). Got the short cut mostly for my grandmother`s sake. I`ve decided I`m a "long hair" person and have been growing it out ever since. My goal is to reach 25 inches down my back, which would be a couple of inches above my waist. ------------- |

Reply to message: viewthread.asp?forum=AMB%5FAP881778452&id=234&page=1#24.240.1 - 24.240.1 name: Tanyaage: 28 (bday in 1month!) hair color: golden blonde hair length: 2 inches above my bra strap hair type: fine, think and board straight hair condition: normal to dry (bottom 2 inches) with no splits. I cut them immediately if i ever see one. :) hair routine: wash and condition every other day I rotate between Back to Basics, Edwin Paul and Pure Hair. Simply because it depends on my mood and what I want to smell in the shower. 2x a week I do a moisture treatment. Depending on available time and hair condition, I either put the oil/condioner on in the shower and cover with a showercap while I finish my shower or soak in the tub. Or I will put the shower cap on and leave it for an hour. My neck can`t support the weight of a towel so I use a winter knit cap to hold the heat in. I add a couple of drops of oil to the bottom half of my hair to keep it moist during the day and to prevent splits. Once every 6-8 weeks I replace my moisture treatment with a protein treatment (too much protein makes ur hair brittle) hair story: I always had hair between shoulder and waist length growing up. I had it long enough that I could braid it and tuck the end in my back pocket at one point. Then my ex started treating my hair as his personal property and I cut it off/spiked it and bleached it white (hey it was the punky 80s) :). since then I have had it bra-length several times and every time he would make a remark I would cut it. The last 2 yrs of our marriage I kept the bottom half shaved and the top feathered back. Since I left, I started growing my hair again. In Nov 97 I was in a bad accident and broke 5 vertebrae in my back and tore all the muscles down the right side of my spine. I had to cut my hair in order to heal and get better in physical therapy. My last therapist has me on an exercise schedule which will build my neck and allow hair growth. I cant` wear my hair certain ways anymore because it hurts too much, but I can wear it down and i do most of the time. Doc cracked a joke one time that I should wear pigtails bc it would balance my head and not stress my neck. so, now whenever I go in I have pigtails or pigtail braids in my hair. lol ------------- Hair type: fine but thick; natural blonde with 15% grey |
