Re: HAIR THREAD

Scissors have not touched my hair in more than a dozen years. (God I'm old -_-) When I let it down, it's... *stands up and checks* ...down to the bottom of my ass. And I'm tall.

My hair is pretty thick and very straight (unless it's been in a braid lately, which it has, at which point it takes a slight wave). I've never been able to convince it to do much, like take a curl, because it's so long and thick and heavy.

Its natural color is dark brown; I occasionally dye it red, but it only sort-of takes, because my hair is so dark and I don't bleach it, and I'm not good at keeping it up.

Most of the time I throw my hair back in a ponytail, or occasionally a braid. I don't really know how to do anything complicated with it, and I'm not sure my hair would cooperate if I tried. I can only even get it to stay in a bun if I braid it first; otherwise it just falls right out. My hair laughs at bobby pins. It's too straight and slippery and heavy.

Generally my hair is fairly low-maintenance, except in the shower where it takes a while to wash. I'd like to know how to do more fancy styling things with it, or find a dye that would stay visible for longer, but overall I'm pretty fond of my hair.

I haven't tried cosplay yet, but I do LARP, and I try to find different ways to wear my hair for each character. I do sort of a braid-crown thing with the sides of my hair for my main PC.

Dang, that's impressive! Do you have a big problem with split ends, since you don't get them trimmed?

I don't know if I'd call it a big problem, but I do get some split ends. I probably should get it trimmed occasionally, but I'm afraid they'll cut off more than I want them to; I'm very protective of my hair.

You don't need anyone else to do it if it's that long. Just take your hair in one hand, and a pair of nailclippers in the other, and clip off just the split bits. Takes time, but it's accurate, and it's free! I do that with my hair right after I clip my nails, once a week.
