Though this thread seems to have gone off topic, I thought I'd announce that I'm back after more than a year

I'm glad to see you're all still out and about. I'm looking forward to experimenting more with my hair care again now that I've almost grown out all the bleach from my sad attempt at blonde. Look out for many posts on asking for advice on protecting my hair from the pool.
And I can see we have comrades to turn to when the US girls start talking about Summer hair issues, and we really need to focus on the Winter hair issues

Sorry for the long ramble, but I'm glad to be back.
