Nice to meet you, PammyJK. Welcome aboard.

So you were a victim of the early '90's perm craze too, eh? At least yours was a spiral. I had the funky Z-shaped electroshock/bride of Frankenstein kind to which gel and water was a constant necessity. Memory lane...

Anyway, like you I'm a natural straightie and my hair loves and needs cones. I've actually been using Pantene products (which contain a balance of pro-vitamins, panthenol and cones) for over 10 years and they have never failed me.

ACV rinses are fabulous because they remove that extra layer of gunk (from dirt, oils, styling products, etc.) from your hair and scalp and give you a fresher start. They can also combat dandruff, and no, they aren't drying. I use them once a week as part of my clarifying routine, and more often if needed. You do clarify regularly, don't you?

Rubbish. Many of the women in these forums are short and have long hair - myself included. People have a lot of crazy reasons for why they think certain things look good/bad on people. But they're only opinions. If you think that long hair becomes you, then grow it as long as you want.
