Belated introduction

[faustina]

Hello!

I made this account months ago but never made any posts until now, life has been hectic and it's slipped my mind. I used to lurk on this site in high school when I first started considering committing to growing my hair very, very long. I hope to document my hair growth and learn more about hair care here. I make music of the black metal/keller synth variety where long hair is very lauded but I just think it looks beautiful even aside from that.

Some things about myself... My name is Faustina and I'm 22 years old. I'm a Capricorn sun, Cancer moon, Scorpio rising. In my free time I like to play video games, make music, wander around in the woods, and spend time with my friends. The last time I cut my hair was September 15, 2022 (though I may have gotten a trim once since then, I can't remember). It was cut to about an inch and a half above my shoulders then, now it is waist length.

It's very nice to meet you all!!

Welcome, I just learned my full astrology sign from an ad on Facebook: I'm a Leo sun (I always knew that, since I was born in late July), Capricorn moon and Gemini rising and apparently Leo suns have a connection to health and wellness, so perhaps that's why I'm a bit of a hypochondriac (thinking you have diseases you don't really have, but I am a nearly six year Breast Cancer survivor, so let's hope it stays away, since that's not something I ever want to go through again), a girl gamer myself (first the original Nintendo, then moved on to PlayStation and never looked back). My hair took three years to grow back from losing it to chemo and is now a few shades darker (from strawberry blonde to light to medium golden brown), and I'm not getting an "age appropriate" hairstyle anytime soon (screw that), no matter how many times my Mom suggests it (nope, nada, not going to happen). Gen Xer with Boomer Mom (she had long hair herself when I was a toddler but cut it to her shoulders shortly after and kept me in short cuts until I was in high school because she didn't like dealing with it).

Oh, and it completely slipped my mind to mention this, but we have an Astrology thread over in the Crafts & Hobbies subforum.
