I've been a member of hair forums at least since 1999. I think all of the critics need to remember that many of the hair forums that exist today are spin-offs of previous ones. There's nothing new under the sun. Think Black Hair Super Grow Out (a Yahoo! Club), and Blackhaircare.com. Both are long gone. I could name other forums that have been around for a long time too, but I won't out of respect for Macherie. My point is this, that other site that everyone loves so much is also a spin-off of another.
As time has gone by, the online hair community evolves. I refused to pay $5/year when that other site started charging and so far, I never have. Others did because they decided for themselves. I might disagree with the cost of this new venture, but I am thoroughly impressed by Macherie's business savvy. I would love to do something for a living that I love. I believe that is what Macherie is doing and I wish her much success.

I'm a chemist with a strong research background and would love to be a researcher for the new HT!

I think that everything looks great Macherie! I will definitely be a paying member, because I have learned so much from your site.
Good luck to you and I know your site will do great!

Will the resources on this website still be available to the public after Nov 1?

:( Where is the new HT? I can't find it... *wonders aimlessly around the internet*
Macherie: It will be live today - we are just waiting on the hosting company!

Hello, I hope it's not too late but I was wondering if I could contribute articles about hand, feet, and nail care. I have been a licensed active nail tech for about eight years. Please let me know if I can be of service.
