Hi to Everyone!
I really hope I am doing this right!
I'm just glad to be here!
I am 48 1/2 years old with just a sprinkling of grey but my predominant color is strawberry-auburnish. (But the last 3 inches still has last summer's bleach, covered by an apricot color and 5 vol. developer)
It is currently 15.5" long, my ponytail circumference is 2.75" Very close to all one length, no bangs. It's been waist length twice before.
I have slightly wavy, very fine hair which will "scrunch" in to waves/curls quite easily, and go mostly straight without much effort (and without a blow dryer).
I change products constantly (I'm a liscensed cosmetologist since 1987). I avoid cones, do oil occasionally and use a slightly modified CO washing routine (since April-04). -Use vinegar rinses from time to time, and always cold water rinses.
The only appliance I use and very rarely, is my Vidal Sassoon Negative Ion Dryer with built in diffuser on the low setting. If I'm in a real hurry I will sometimes just dry the roots with this dryer even when I'm wearing my hair straighter. Where can I get an Aquis towel? Sorry, I digress. I will find a more appropriate place to ask that question.
I love hair toys. My current favorite accessory is a barrette by Vidal Sassoon, Soft Touch. They are soft, have no metal, nothing sharp--they feel kind of rubbery almost.
(I have 3 longhaired cats!) I know that is not one of the questions....
I am just delighted to be here! I've learned so much from all of you by just 'lurking' these past months!
