[ManeSqueeze]

LHC name: ManeSqueeze (DBF is constantly amuse by this)

Current hair length: About 35 inches, but it has really thin fairytale ends

Goal hair length: "To my butt," to quote my younger self. Then I'll grow out my hemline, and then I'll get to terminal!

When did you start growing your hair? Roughly 9 years ago. I've had about four major set backs though

What is your average monthly growth rate? Unsure, but my DBF assures me that it is still growing when I have a mini crisis thinking that it has stopped growing.

Do you trim your hair, if so how often? I've always mostly S&D. When I used to feel optimistic I would go to a hair stylist thinking that she'll take my 1/4" request seriously, then come home depressed when I realize that it was actually 4" taken off. Now I just S&D or a small trim to help my hem out every so often.

What supplements do you take? Target's brand One a Day multi vitamin. It has good things for my bones, skin, muscles, and hair! Including a smidgen of biotin. I also take a fiber pill which is just psyllium fiber and gelatin, but I think the gelatin has been helping out my nails and hair a little. My nails have been growing faster since I started taking it.

Do you eat any special foods for hair growth/nutrition etc? I just try to drink enough water.

Do you do scalp massages? Yes, usually just when I wash my hair or do a mask.

What is your favourite shampoo? Organix Tea Tree one, or Sauve's Rosemary Mint. I love the minty smell!

What is your favourite conditioner? The brothers of the above shampoos. I'm slightly addicted to minty hair.

Favourite leave-in conditioner? I don't use any right now, but I used to use a George Michael's one that was blue, and after that I used a spray one that came in a yellow bottle with a purple nozzle that was in the "ethnic" hair section. I've always hated how stores separate hair sections.

Favourite deep conditioner or treatment? Avocados! First time I tried, I swear it helped my split ends disappear! My hair enjoys egg yolks once in a while as well, but I'm not too big on the smell.

What are your favourite basic oils? I have this L'oreal frizz serum, which I think has oil in it. I'm pretty positive that it's 'cone heavy, but my hair likes it. It's in a clear bottle with an opaque blue label and a blue nozzle. I took the label off so I could see how much I had left.

What are your favourite essential oils? Don't really use them, but I LOVE the smell of eucalyptus or tea tree.

What is your favourite product of all time? The frizz serum. It's the first one I've tried, and after this I'm going to try a real oil (maybe argan, jojoba, or avocado). But it has done wonders for my hair. I feel like I have half the amount of fly-aways, and my ends are much happier.

What is your least favourite product of all time? VO5 products. I see a lot of people here enjoy it, and I was actually really surprised. It made my hair feel straw-y. Then again I don't know how others use it, and I used it in my younger days.

Is there anything you would never put on your hair? (-cones/quats etc) Permanent dyes, bleach, and heavy soaps (like skin bar-soap or body wash0.

What do you like most about your hair? It's so soft! I also think it's very shiny, getting very long, and I think it's very pretty and pretty healthy.

What do you like least about your hair? I have bunches of fly-aways, it's roughly a hundred different lengths, it's really thin right now, and the ends get a weird slightly straw-y texture to them.

Do you colour your hair? Nope.

Do you clarify? Usually no.

How often do you wash your hair? Every other day to every 3 days. I think I'll be starting to do it less.

How long does it take to dry? It used to take about an hour, but ever since I've been rinsing in really cold water, it's taken about 3 hours. I don't know what is up with that, but that's why I joined this site.

Do you prefer you hair up or down? I think it's really pretty down, but it's much happier up, and a lot less hot and in the way.

What is your favourite updo? Right now, the infinity bun!

Bangs or no bangs? No bangs.

Whose hair at LHC do you aspire to? I don't know many people right now, but Hiedi W. has beautiful hair. I've been admiring so many people's hair here, everyone is so beautiful!

Do you keep a hair journal? I'm trying to on livejournal right now. After I'm allowed to have a blog here, I'll try to switch.

How many hairtoys do you own? Only two metal chopsticks that are laser etched with flowers. My pretty French twist comb fell out on the bus

Share a funny/inspiring/shocking hair story if you have one: As a young kid I got gum stuck in my hair, so my mom had me get a pixie cut. I fell in love with short hair, but I was constantly bullied about it. I was once yelled at by an employee at a store when I walked into the girl's dressing room (with an arm loaded up with dresses and jeans) about not being allowed in there. Being a little soft spoken 9 year old girl I put the clothes in the "done trying on" basket and ran to the bathroom before I started crying. My mom later found me with a super red and puffy face. It took weeks for her to convince me that I was pretty in a pixie cut*. I can't believe how mean people are over hair.

*I still think I look pretty in a pixie cut. I just have always wanted hair to my butt one time in my life. I think I look pretty awesome no matter what length my hair is.

Say one nice thing about the person who posted before you: Leylusha has great taste in cheese! Not only that, but she seems like she'd be a really fun person to be around.
