new thread
I have been following this board for over four years. I guess it's about time I tried to contribute something!
I am a newly retired, 60 year old, technical professional, now enjoying part time consulting. I've been growing my hair for about four years now. Considering the two step forward, one step back, effect of getting regular trims, I guess I'm fairly happy with the result. It's about shoulder blade length now. I get color done to cover the grey and use a "chi" iron about once a week. This approach works best for me because the results are durable and prevents damage from routine combing my otherwise kinky fine hair.
I want to post several pictures of my progress during the last six months, getting maint trims every 3 months, in order to show the results to those considering longer hair. I don't have a problem with those that advocate a "zero cut" senerio; I just prefer a neat look along the way to longer hair. I't takes a little longer.
I don't know how to set up the jpeg files for attachment to the posting. If someone could help me with this, I'll post the photos.
Love to see them but I don't know how to upload pics, only linking them from existing websites.
What is a chi iron? Does that help keep the wirey greys at bay?
I have several friends that have had long hair since the late 80s
and their hair seems to get more wirey as the grey hair takes over.
Put your pictures in a free online photo album (if you do not have
your own website),
and you could put the links to those pics right here in your post.
OR...
From some photo albums, you can post the pics directly into posts.
Just send the pics to me via e-mail and I can host them on my server for you. The image upload of this hyperboard is no longer in service due to abuse, so I have helped out a lot guys who needed server space to hold their pics. Send them to the e-mail link above and I will do one of two things for you:
(1) Post them for you at the board under your nickname, or
(2) I can send you back the code via e-mail that you will need to post them yourself.
Let me know and I will be glad to help. Peace!
