Today’s Tip

Peroxide and permanent wave chemicals actually break down and change the chemical make-up of your hair.  Using them will cause irreversible damage, and continuing to use them will really wreak havoc on your hair.  Learn to love what you have or find safer ways to color and/or curl your tresses. Both the LongLocks Hair Care Cookbook and our Ultimate Guide to Curling Hair Safely will help you do just that while keeping those luscious locks gorg!

Extra Large Aquis Microfiber Towel The Ultimate Long Hair Lovers Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

We long-haired gurls have a LOT of hair to dry and our long locks hold a LOT of water. These microfiber towels are a dream come true. They absorb a tremendous amount of water very quickly and cut a typically really long drying time dramatically. Best of all, these are the really hard-to-find large towels, big enough for even very long tresses!

Mebco Shower Detangler The Ultimate Long Hair Lovers Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

This is the greatest comb ever made, I own several of them. Though I’ve tried many tens of different wide-toothed combs, made of many different materials with many different finishes at many different price points, this is the only comb I’ve consistently used on my hair for more than a decade. Even my hubby, who has hair almost as long as mine (if you uncoil his tightly curled ponytail), insists on using only this comb (and he moves them, which is why I have to own several).

Spornette DeVille 1005 Boar Bristle Paddle Brush The Ultimate Long Hair Lovers Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

If your long-haired loved one has straight hair, this is their perfect brush. Made entirely of hair-nurturing boar bristle (so much more hair-safe than anything with sharp nylon bristles) and the perfect straight-hair paddle style, which can be one of the harder to find boar bristle brush styles. If your intended gift recipient has curly hair or hair so thick that boar bristles won’t penetrate, all is not lost! Try the next best thing, a Bass oval wood bristle brush.

Zebrawood Hair Fork The Ultimate Long Hair Lovers Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

How She Rolls
Susan Maxwell Schmidt is the internationally-collected jewelry artist behind LongLocks HairSticks. Her designs have appeared in Demetrios Bridal's "For the Bride" magazine and "Upscale Magazine." The LongLocks HairSticks Boutique was Lucky Magazine's top pick for Best Hair Web Site in their May 2009 issue.

Though a native New Yorker, Ms. Schmidt currently resides in the fashion non capitol of the world–East Nottingham, PA–where the Amish are the fashion trendsetters and John Deere green appears in the color forecast every season.

Ms. Schmidt enjoys driving fast, annoying her husband, sleeping late and disturbing the neighbors. She also fancies herself a fashionista, though this is likely nothing more than a rather sad delusion on her part. It’s best just to play along.
