I had long hair in college and I'd trim it occasionally - a very slow process that involved snipping off more or less the same amount from sections and then checking the back with two mirrors to make sure it wasn't too far off. Took time, but it got rid of the split ends. It eventually got to be hip length before I got fed up and had it all cut off.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My hair is thin - if I put it in a ponytail, the end is pencil-sized - but there's a lot of it. And it's changing texture post-menopause. I used to have stick-straight hair that would never hold a curl; now, it's lightly wavy, curls if I put it in a bun and take it down, and enlarges at the slightest hint of moisture in the air.
Last autumn, when I was working late at the office with my dev team, I took off my hat and let my hair down, which promptly fluffed out like an angry cat. "Uh, Atropa's hair is out. Are we in trouble?"

Atropa, my hair is changing in a very similar way.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This pleases me
I haven't cut my hair since last November, I think, and it is a shaggy mess, but still only chin-length to shoulder-length. I think maybe I can actually put it in a ponytail? I should dig up my hair ties that I salted away when I started wearing my hair shorter.

I actually miss seeing my developers. They are sweet boys with a fitness obsession, and the daily chatter about "Dude! Plank time!" and all of them dropping to the floor to do planks was weirdly adorable.

Hey, this is me, too!

Jealous, I used to have stick-straight hair, and still do. eta: I hoped for a curl after pregnancy, or a wave after menopause, but nope.

I used to have a lot a very fine hair, but I am losing hair like crazy in my last 40s. I do have the same peri menopausal waviness, though!

ltc wants to be a princess that has been turned into a zombie by an evil warlock for Halloween (totally her idea). Any ideas for doing this on the cheap? Also make up tips for zombie make up? Since she won't actually be trick or treating I wasn't going to spend big money on a costume. Atropa?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Party dress + zombie makeup? Most drug store kits are pretty cheap. (I'm not sure how to convey "turned into a zombie by an evil warlock" through clothes but zombie princess sounds awesome on its own!)
