Welcome to LHC!
Hello everyone,
I've been a new member for a while and am now finally stepping out of the shadows. I'm not sure what to say, so please bear with me while I fumble through this. My hair is not very nice. I have shoulder-length, extremely thin blonde hair that is also extremely oily. In fact, all of my skin in extremely oily. I am an oily, oily mess. It's so bad, that I have to wash my hair everyday or suffer an oily, itchy, flaky scalp. Right now I am using a coal tar shampoo, to see if it will help with the oil/itching. I used to have nice-ish hair, it was never thick but it was better than it is now, something that gets pointed out to me a lot, which I will admit kind of hurts. I used to dye my hair, and while I didn't use bleach and only used a supposedly very gently hair dye (manic panic), now I can't do anything with it at all for fear it will get even worse. I really miss my long blue hair, as I don't really like being blonde at all (just my personal preference). I would really like to color my hair black with henna, or even red, but as I said, I am afraid to put anything in it. It's frustrating.
As for me the person, I am an author and illustrator for my family's small business, but I earn my (little bit of) money doing Japanese language tutoring/teaching (so blue hair isn't really an option anymore anyway I guess). I do amateur special effects makeup, just on my family and friends, for funsies. I love goth things and scifi/fantasy. I have been coming here on and off for a while, as all of you seem extremely knowledgeable (and not to mention, have extremely beautiful hair!). I look forward to meeting everyone , and if I can't have pretty hair anymore at least I can surround myself with people who do. I *am* trying to fix it though, and will eagerly listen to any advice offered. Despite the fact that I can't wear half of them, I have a large collection of hair toys. Mostly these days I put them in other people's hair, which is almost as nice as wearing them myself.
So that's me Looking forward to chatting with everyone and learning lots!

Dragon: Thank you Nice nickname - I love dragons!
Leeloo: Thank you! I alas do not have either silk sleeping cap or pillow case - would that help? Where can I find them? Pillow case would probably be better as I have a tendency to pull things off my head while I sleep... :/
