Hi everyone!
I just registered, after realizing that I am addicted to Rapunzel's hairsticks. Figured I should join the other addicts :).

I am from Bulgaria, 30 years old. I am another one of the geeky crowd, have worked as a Software Developer or 7 years now. I longed to have long hair for many years, but mistreatment and the bad habit of chopping it off every time I got unhappy, prevented me. Now I finally have hair long enough to be held with a stick!
Also, I have a pet rabbit, a pet husband, love fantasy books and my favorite past-time when not in front of a computer is cross-stitching.

Hello, Lirionne, and welcome to the boards.

Ahh, yes, another addict! 

What color and texture is your hair?  How long do you want to grow it?

I look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi and thanks for the welcome.
My hair is straight. My natural color is very dark brown with a red tinge that is usually seen best in direct sunlight. But since few people are happy with what they have and we do need variety, I have been coloring it blue-black for the hast 6 months. I know its not good for it but I love the color, it goes well with my fair skin and has something special about it... I will probably stop doing it soon, though.
I have been growing it out from a buzz-cut, and the longest layers are almost to my shoulder-blades, the shortest to the bottom of my ears. At this point my plan is to grow it to the middle of my back, then spend a year trimming at that length to even the layers out, then we'll see, maybe waist, maybe longer...
I find it hard to type the strands type, some of them are medium, a lot of them are coarse, and my hair is very hard, as it, it is not soft to the touch and doesn't bend easily. People usually tell me its nice, but I wish it were softer...

Nice to meet you, Lirionne. Welcome aboard and lol @ "pet husband." ;D

Your hair sounds pretty, and it sounds like you have lots of it. When I was younger, I used to dye mine black with an indigo wash over it. Loved the colour, but it looked dreadful on me. :P

Anyway, best of luck with the growing out stage. It takes forever, but it helps to stay connected to a support group like this. ;)
