After spending some time looking around LongLocks I promptly joined and am looking forward to becoming part of the community here. I'm really shocked at how badly I've been treating my hair and want to fix that immediately. I'll try to keep this introduction short and talk more about my hair in my personal journal.

I'm currently studying computing at college and hope to go to university to become a games programmer. I've been growing my hair for about 3 years and have not once got it cut, imagine the horror. I'm still quite new to looking after my hair as this is the first time I've had it long, so I've got lots to learn.

I wouldn't say my hair is in bad condition, but I know it's not all that it can be. I don't use chemicals and have never dyed it, the most I do is shampoo and condition it. I try not to blow dry it as it takes too long to be worth it, but I do brush my hair quite hard which is very damaging.

So that was quiet brief, but I often talk to much.

Hi Martyr,
Welcome!  You're in the right place to learn how to take care of your hair!  Enjoy the boards,ask questions and just relax!  Everyone here is not only nice, but helpful,too!

Bonjour, greetings, ullo dere, pleased t'meeches, welcome to LongLocks. :)

Three years is entirely too long to go without a few good trims, sir. Especially with heavy brushing. But you probably know that by now so I'll save the finger wagging, eh? ;)

Anyroad, feel free to peruse the boards, ask questions, stare, point, laugh and all that jazz. I hope you will like it here.

Cheers and happy growing!

Welcome to LongLocks, Martyr.

Welcome, welcome!

Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome.

I know I've been horrible to my hair, but I'm going to try my hardest to treat it better and make it healthy like it should.
