Here's what y'all told us...

We had an overwhelming response to our month-long survey!  Let me take the time to PERSONALLY thank each and every one of you who took the time to let us get to know you a little bit better!  Your feedback has always been very important to us and the trend of implementing suggestions from our readers will continue to be an integral piece of the Long Hair Don't Care blog.

Though the survey was a HUGE success, participation in our weekly giveaways was not...and to be quite honest, we were rather disappointed by that.  Anyway, I just wanted to take some time to go over a few things that y'all told us and look forward to some follow-up posts and polls about specific things that stood out to us.
