hi. my name is emilee.
i have been growing my hair out for almost 3years now. it is finally down to my bra clasp. i love it. it just cant seem to get long enough. ive wanted long long hair for so long now but i never could stick with it... i'm so glad that im finally sticking to it this time. it hasnt been this long in 9years..
but im having difficultly at night. i can't seem to find a good way to wear it. sometimes ill wear one braid but that doesnt always work, it just falls out of the braid from not being done tight enough or it makes my hair way too curly the next day. ponytails dont really work either.. they just fall out & make more knots. i want to treat my hair the best way possibly while its growing, im just not liking this whole sleeping thing.. then my husband rolls on it when it's down.. you know how it is..
Some women sleep with theirs down, hanging draped above them over the head of the mattress (that's what I used to do when mine was longer. I also used to do braids held in place with those terrycloth ponytail holders you can buy in drug stores). Some even put a soft and slippery cloth over the head of the mattress so it can slip around without knotting. Some put their hair in a bun on top of their head (I found that too uncomfortable). Some make night caps with a satin inside to wear with their hair inside it. Many buy satin pillowcases for maximum slippage.

Hi Emilee and welcome to the board. My hair is a little longer than yours and I find sleeping with my hair draped over my shoulders works best for me. I just want to say that I think you are a very beautiful woman, you have a great smile and lovely hair. Best of luck in growing long, beautiful locks Emilee.
Warm regards Sean

I guess it depends on how you sleep. If you sleep on your back then drap it over the back of the bed. If you are like me and sleep on your side most of the time. Pull it up and around your neck so it rests on your neck and shoulders.
that is how i usually sleep anyway, i pull it to one side around my neck, i just move alot sometimes & it gets in knots.. i guess i just have to be more conscience of it.. ! thanks for your help... how long is your hair anyway?

Its really nice meeting and chatting with you on line like this. My hair is past my shoulders. Its around the middle of my breast's. I have been growing it out for a few years now. I love it. It takes some work, but worth the time.
dave, dont worry about butting! join in! i wanted to say congrats on the "position"*edit* i mean the "role" that you got. the thread you started a little while ago, wouldnt let me reply, so yeah, congrats!
susan, my plan is to grow it out for as long as i can take it. for as long as i keep taking care of it & dont get sick of it, i want it long. to my waist first.. then see how the care is going.. if i dont mind it all that much i might try for even longer, but my husband isnt too hot on long long hair, so we'll see.. maybe i can sway him over (:
my hair is actually quite a bit longer then it is in that picture. that picture was taken at the beginning of this summer so it's grown a few inches, but i'm really enjoying this long hair.. i had it really short for so long.. ive probably had every short hair style there is, but long hair i think is the most becoming on me. i kindah cut some bangs to go to the side yesterday.. i dont like the way i look with no bangs at all, so im keeping some hair shorter around my face.. ill just always have fun with those hairs & then let the rest just grow grow grow! (:

My hair is just past my waist. I grew my bangs out a few years ago. They were just too choppy -- too much contrast between the short bangs and long hair length.
Lately, though, the weight of my hair was pulling it away from my face so much. I hated how bare my forehead looked -- especially when I put my hair up. I got it cut two days ago. It's still really long, but I got some face-framing layers. The stylist razored it and continued the angle so it blends in beautifully with the length -- no obvious layers that will look weird when it grows. He also cut a few little strands of wispy bangs that I can leave loose or brush to the side. It really softens my face. I think this is a great option if you don't like how you look without bangs.
P.S. On the sleeping question -- I hang upside down in my closet when I sleep. That way, my hair doesn't get tangled and I get some lift at the roots. I recommend it.
(Just kidding).
P.P.S. kittykatgirl20044 -- I just scrolled up and saw your photo. I didn't mean to leave you out -- your hair is beautiful too. Welcome.
My user name is WAY too long. Just call me Juliana. :-)
ive had my hair so many colors and had highlights before & it's just.. well, i'm tired of them (: i'm finally getting my hair back to it's natural color after many years of dying it so i dont think i'm ready for highlights just yet. i have used henna on my hair (which is amazing) to enhance my reddish highlights which is beautiful, but as for now.. im embracing my natural color (: do you dye your hair much susan? of have you?
i love having some sortof hair around my face, it's just more.. i dont know.."me" i guess.. i think that i might consider doing more wispy layers as its growing out too.. good ideas..
i didnt catch this last girls name that commented.. but thanks for joining our conversation! you seem to have very BEAUTIFUL hair & i am rather jealous, you can't tell from the black & white pictures.. what is your hair color exactly? have you always had it pretty long? it's fabulous.. & for a second there, i thought that you werent kidding about hanging in your closet! haha.. i'm not usually gullable like that (: but you just never know.. some people are pretty weird!
aaah... this is so much to talk about hair with girls that appreciate it (:
