I have very long and healthy hair. It's sleek, shiny black, and straight, and goes down to my thighs (I'm serious). I'd say the best thing you can do for your hair is a good conditioner. Find a very hydrating one, even if you have oily hair, like I do, in which case just wash your scalp thoroughly after conditioning.I know that most people say you need to wash the conditioner out of your hair completely, but I find it better to keep a little in. By that I mean washing most of it out, but leaving a little grease on the hair. It'll make your hair much easier to brush, and leave it feeling silky soft. I've done this for years and have never experienced any side effects.And there's no need to wash your hair everyday. In fact it's quite damaging - you're washing off essential nutrients and oils from your hair. Wash no more often than every second day, but at least once a week. Try not to use shampoo more than twice a week unless your hair is extremely oily or dirty.Another thing is the sun. Sunlight bleaches your hair, and excess sunlight damages it. If you're out in the sun a lot, wear a hat (or pretend to be Muslim and wear a headscarf ).

Not meaning offence to the huge number of Runescape fans out there, but I found Runescape to be one of the most annoying MMOs I've played. I think the gameplay isn't too bad, it's the graphics that really irk me. Reminds of of Diablo I and Antara and those games from a gazillion centuries ago... I played for a couple of hours, hoping there'd be some redeeming feature that would entice me to continue playing, but found none and promptly logged off. I personally don't get why it's so popular, when there are heaps of MMOs out there with similar gameplay but 21st century graphics... I suppose they have their reasons.But anyway, congrats to you for starting up a clan, especially a noob one. It's so hard to socialise if you haven't played long enough to be at a high level. I'll tell my little sister about it - she's got a level 11 on Runescape.

Uses for computers... it'll take me an hour list them all! Computer is my life. I'm on my laptop at least 6 hours a day, usually more like 10, and no, I'm not addicted to some random game.I love reading, and I used to have bookshelves stuffed full of books. At the highest count I had more than 3000 books. Now I've sold a lot of them off and read ebooks on my laptop instead.Writing. I write stories and occasionally poems. And essays, of course, as I'm a uni student. All on the computer. It's because typing is so much faster than writing, doesn't hurt your hands nearly as much, and it's much easier to edit stuff on the computer than on paper. I also sometimes compose music on midi software.Internet, duh. I get my news from the internet, my entertainment, half my research, most of my socialising. If my connection goes down for more than 10 hours (which, unfortunately, happens too often) I go crazy.Gaming. Who needs xbox or Playstation? Computers are just as good if you slap on a joystick. If you really want the big screen, connect it to your TV. But I don't play action/adventure games much anyway, I'm usually on strategy-type games, and sometimes RPGs. They all require a mouse and keyboard.Music. My entire music collection is on my computer. Got rid of the clutter of dozens of albums and CDs years ago - everything's electronic and the music never gets lost.Random geeky stuff. Like comparing computers (my processor is better than your processor!!! haha!!!), programming, etc.I'm sure there's much more I do with my computer, but that's all I can think of for now (I just woke up 20 minutes ago).BTW, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post, so hello all!
