    LHC name: Lize

    Current hair length: 22.2"

    Goal hair length: 37" (tailbone)

    When did you start growing your hair? Summer 2006 after a really bad pixieish hair cut.

    What is your average monthly growth rate? 0.6"

    Do you trim your hair, if so how often? Before I used to trim often to get rid of layers. Now I try to trim as little as possible. So I trim when I feel that it's absolutely necessary.

    What supplements do you take? None.

    Do you eat any special foods for hair growth/nutrition etc? I eat varied. I try to eat 5 fruits/vegetables each day. I think if your body is healthy your hair will be as well.

    Do you do scalp massages? Sometimes I do. For example if my hair has been up all day I might feel like I need one.

    What is your favourite shampoo? The honey shampoo from The Body Shop or Herbal Essences. I know HE is pretty heavy when it comes to SLS but the smell!

    What is your favourite conditioner? Yep, honey conditioner from The Body Shop or Herbal Essences here too.

    Favourite leave-in conditioner? Sunsilk. Love those leave ins.

    Favourite deep conditioner or treatment? I don't have a favorite yet, but I love trying new ones.

    What are your favourite basic oils? Jojoba.

    What are your favourite essential oils? Peppermint.

    What is your favourite product of all time? Right now it would be the Sunsilk leave in creme.

    What is your least favourite product of all time? Rapsodine shampoo because it said on the website it would be SLS free and it wasn't. And also the smell was awful.

    Is there anything you would never put on your hair? (-cones/quats etc) I have stopped dyeing so I'd like to say dye or bleach. Also yoghurt is on that list (couldn't get rid of the smell).. and avocado (impossible to rinse out).

    What do you like most about your hair? It's very soft and very shiney. It also doesn't tangle much at all since I have a lot of slip. I would say it can take a lot before it gets damaged too. Also it's pretty thick even though I have fine strands.

    What do you like least about your hair? The straightness and the color (which I am learning to accept). Also I think the strands are too thin/fine.

    Do you colour your hair? I have been since I was 13. I don't anymore. This time I AM growing my virgin color.

    Do you clarify? No, I use SLS schampoos all the time so there's no need to.

    How often do you wash your hair? Every other day schampoo and conditioner. I might change that routine slightly when it gets longer.

    How long does it take to dry? Two hours or a bit longer.

    Do you prefer you hair up or down? Down.

    What is your favourite updo? Messy bun of some sort.

    Bangs or no bangs? No bangs for the first time of my life.

    Whose hair at LHC do you aspire to? Dianyla, Saoirse, Igor.

    Do you keep a hair journal? Yes a blog.

    How many hairtoys do you own? No idea. 10+.

    What is your favourite hairtoy? I'm still pretty hooked on elastics.

    Brush or comb? Both! Wooden comb and BBB.

    Do you use hot styling aids on your hair irons/blowdryer etc? Maybe once a year or less.

    Do you make/sell any hair care products? No.

    What is the last hair-related thing that you bought? Sunsilk leave in cream and Sunsilk hair treatment.

    What’s your favourite kind of cheese? Brie or blue cheese.

    Share a funny/inspiring/shocking hair story if you have one: Once I was at a party and was dancing with some guy (not even close!) and he accidentaly spit out his chewing gum in my hair. I didn't care much about my hair those days so I went into the kitchen and grabbed a knife (which was probably not that sharp) and cut the gum out. I didn't even care. I can not see that happening again.

    Say one nice thing about the person who posted before you: Very cute kitty in hazelceleste's avatar! And we have the same goal length.

    Goal hair length: Hip

    When did you start growing your hair? last summer

    What is your average monthly growth rate? about 0.5", though more in summer

    Do you trim your hair, if so how often? once a year

    What supplements do you take? none

    Do you eat any special foods for hair growth/nutrition etc? Not really, I just try to eat healthily in genera (if I can be bothered)

    Do you do scalp massages? sometimes. If my scalp's really flaky I scritch it the evening before I wash it, which is kinda like a massage.

    What is your favourite shampoo? Haven't decided yet. I'm currently using the Superdrug's own Aloe Vera poo, and I'm thinking of trying this SLS- and paraben-free Aloe Vera one that I found in a health food shop down the road.

    What is your favourite conditioner? Dunno. I'm currently using Superdrug's own Jojoba oil conditioner, but that's only because it was the cheapest cone-free one I could find. It's decent, though.

    Favourite leave-in conditioner? Coconut oil

    Favourite deep conditioner or treatment? I don't really do these because I'm lazy and am always afraid of having a plastic bag on my head and the fire alarm going of. One of my male friends in particular would never let me forget it if he saw me like that.

    What are your favourite basic oils? Coconut oil

    What are your favourite essential oils? don't use any

    What is your favourite product of all time? no idea

    What is your least favourite product of all time? dunno

    Is there anything you would never put on your hair? (-cones/quats etc) Not really. I've used both cones and no cones, and there's no discernable difference. I prefer no-cone because if I want to skip a wash and do a WO it's easier with no-cone.

    What do you like most about your hair? The multi-coloured nature of it

    What do you like least about your hair? The fact that it can't decide whether to be straight, wavy, or curly (I've got all three on my head)

    Do you colour your hair? Nope

    Do you clarify? if i feel the need

    How often do you wash your hair? currently every 2 days, but I'm trying to decrease that

    How long does it take to dry? Hours upon hours

    Do you prefer you hair up or down? it depends

    What is your favourite updo? basic cinnabun. It's one of the few I can do

    Bangs or no bangs? none

    Whose hair at LHC do you aspire to? I love Amoretti's hair, and I think hair-type-wise I actually stand a chance at having hair like that (though not the same colour) once mine's longer. *hopes in vain*

    Do you keep a hair journal? yeah

    How many hairtoys do you own? three or four

    What is your favourite hairtoy? a spirally colourful stick, I believe it's a Graydog, maybe?

    Brush or comb? both?

    Do you use hot styling aids on your hair irons/blowdryer etc? Nope

    Do you make/sell any hair care products? nope

    What is the last hair-related thing that you bought? coconut oil

    What’s your favourite kind of cheese? Smoked gruyere
