Hi everyone! Sorry about the "First Contact" thing... I'm a huge sci-fi geek. Cool

How long is your hair?

21"

What color is your hair?

brown with red highlights (chestnut?)

Is your hair straight/curly/wavy?

Slightly wavy

Do you have favorite products to use on your hair?

I LOVE grapeseed oil. I find it moisturizing without being too heavy/greasy. I also like to make my own herbal concoctions.

What are your favorite hair accessories?

I love to wear bandanas or pretty hair jewelry

A couple of years ago I grew my hair out to waist length. Unfortunately I have a tendency to get bored with my hair, so I cut it off into a chin-length bob about a year and a half ago. I missed my long hair and am growing out again. I'm currently nearing BSL, and that is my first goal. Not sure if I'll go to waist again, or maybe somewhere in between, but I am enjoying the journey! Bikerbraid, thank you so much for the welcome, and I look forward to being a part of this community.

Glad you introduced yourself. I hope we can help you achieve your hair goals (and maybe be less bored with it so you don't cut it again??).

I mix my own concoctions,too. Maybe we can swop or compare recipes? I also make vegan lip balm. My last creation was coffee chocolate mint vegan lip balm. Smelled great and felt great,too!

Thanks for the welcomes, all! Yes, I really DON'T want to get bored again! But I think this time will be different... I'm going to keep a hair journal and very specifically talk about what I didn't like about the short hair cut. Not to mention once I've put my journey to pen, it will be harder to forget all the hard work of growing out!

WOW curlgirl64... coffee chocolate mint lip balm... that sound fantastic! I've never made any lip balms with coffee, but now you've inspired me! I look forward to swapping some concoctions.

Greetings and welcome, Firefly. Nice to have you along.

Now was this First Contact you were referring to the Star Trek movie or the Jodie Foster movie? Wink

Unfortunately, I too know the pain that goes along with cutting waist length hair short. Seems like it's going to take forever to get it back to that length, doesn't it? I am also almost at BSL, but my first goal is 2 feet.

Anyway, may the hair gods bless you on your journey to longer lengths.

Angel Spun-- I was thinking Trek but Contact works too! LOL

Thanks again everyone; you've all made me feel very welcome. I've been exploring the site and enjoying myself...soaking up a lot of great info and drooling over the inspirational pictures. I'm aching to have my waist-length hair back! **wail**

Ahh yes, Contact. I remember now. My former husband was a total sci-fi nut, so I've seen both...several times over. Roll Eyes

So I guess that makes me a former second-hand sci-fi nut by previous marriage? lol Ah well.

lol Yes, patience is a virtue. But like any virtue, it can get pretty challenging sometimes! Looks like we'll be making the waist length journey together. I just hope for your sake that your hair grows faster than mine! Roll Eyes
