With the reemergence of the Share button, you can post your fav LongLocks designs and articles pretty much anywhere, including Reddit, StumbleUpon, Digg and Tumblr (and about a million other places I’ve never even heard of… cuz I’m antisocial ;)
The Not-So-Good Stuff
The last of the LongLocks styles scheduled for retirement have moved on to greener pastures, LongLocks IllusioniStix and MarbeliStix are no more. Unfortunately, it did turn out that ZenStix had to be “put down” too, as I didn’t end up with enough to do one last round of ‘em when all was said and done. The last special order designs of all three styles have been moved to Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow. Now, I do have one tiny bit of good news… I still have a few (and by a few, I mean A FEW) ZenStix I can use for special order designs. I know these were really popular and I hate having to retire them, so I will certainly be happy to turn the last few remaining pairs into something fabulous for anyone who might want them. Just let me know what colors you are interested in and I’ll send you designs from the archive from which you may choose what strikes your fancy. First come, first served kidz, you don’t wanna procrastinate if you want a shot at the last of the Zens or you risk being really disappointed! (I know, I know, do as I say and not as I do… I’d join the Procrastinators Club myself if I could ever get around to it).
Today’s Tip: Peroxide, straightening, and permanent wave chemicals actually 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!

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!

The Bad News
I’m sure most of the “old timers” recall that I had to retire ZenStix a couplefew years ago because I couldn’t get any more of the wrapped bamboo sticks, and then was able to bring them out of retirement again when I found a stash of them I didn’t know I had. I am once again getting down to the last of my supply of bamboo sticks, and even after all these years have been unsuccessful in finding a new supplier for them. Depending on how many special orders are placed for Zens in the meantime, these may be the last time the style is updated. If it’s not this time, it will certainly be the next (but I don’t really anticipate them making it past this update). This means if you have your heart set on a pair of ZenStix and you want to know if I have something in the archive in a particular color or bead of which I can do a special order version for you, now is the time to ask!
More Regarding PRX
Has anyone been listening to PRX? They have been playing this hilarious recording of parents interviewing their two little kids after one cut off all the other one’s butt-length hair, and I of course thought of LongLocks fans when I heard it. If you’re enjoying the PRX stream, please let me know! Don’t forget I added a permanent link to the player on the What’s New page right below the search box at the top, so you can easily start the player in a new browser window anytime you like (you’ll have to keep the player window open to keep the stream playing).

For Your Listening Pleasure
I have a special treat for you as you peruse the LongLocks Boutique! I have added the PRX Radio stream to the bottom of all the articles and individual design descriptions. If you want to listen while you surf, simply scroll to the bottom of any of those pages and click the Play button (you’ll have to keep the window open to continue the stream). I also added a permanent link to the player on the What’s New page right below the search box at the top, so you can easily start the player in a new browser window anytime you like. In my opinion, Public Radio Remix is the best programming on all of radio, it is the soundtrack that plays in my studio 24 hours a day. I am not affiliated with PRX in any way, just a HUGE fan. Check it out, bet you love it too!
