greetings from hawaii

Hi all!

I've been checking out this message board for a couple of months, but only joined last week. I stumbled upon this site when I was doing a search on long hair care tips. I've been growing my hair out for nearly two years. Right now it's only about 19 inches long, but it was chin-length when I started so I guess that's good. My goal is to get waist-length hair (or perhaps a little shorter).

I'm Japanese and so my hair is straight and sometimes annoyingly thick (I can't really do anything with it except put it in a pony tail unless I use a lot of bobby pins and hairspray). My hair's naturally black, but right now it's dyed a sort of auburn color. During the summer it was fuschia, but the dye rubbed off on everything so I ended up going back to a more "natural"color.

I don't really have any favorite accessories, but I do have a couple of products that I really like. Since my hair is dry as a result of bleaching it last year, I really like the Brazil Nut Mask from The Body Shop. After visiting this message board, I started using cone-free shampoo and conditioner from Nature's Gate. I've only tried the jojoba shampoo and the keratin conditioner, but I noticed that my hair doesn't get as oily as quickly compared to when I used Garnier Fructis.

I'm in my last semester at the University of Hawaii so don't mind me if I frequently disappear between now and the middle of May.

Got any pictures? I use nature's gate too, it's a bit of an adjustment off the cones, but I'm really liking them now.

I think my hair used to look nice, but right now the length is kind of screwed up because it's been chemically treated a few times. I really have to stop coloring it. I'll try to get a couple of pictures together. Perhaps in one or two weeks when I have more time.
