QuoteReplyTopic: style for long hair? also posted on intro Posted: May 19 2005 at 7:17pm
Hi Asmara and LadyFrog,
I don't know of any other men in this forum that have hair quite as
long as mine, but there are a number who participate who have hair that
is quite long. There are some men whose hair is thigh-length or
longer who participate in other long hair fora. I've seen online
photos of a guy whose hair is about ankle-length, I think his name is
Danny... ?
Yeah, are there any other men with Dave length hair. I mean, I've come
across some men here (sorry, I can't remember your names!) with waist
or classic hair but none like Dave except for Dave. Durr.

ya know....i would absolutely love to see a full pic of all of your hair!!!
ive never seen a man with such beautiful long hair before and im very intrigued by how different the texture would be from a womans hair (if there is a diff that is?!?!)
do you know if there are any other men upon the forum that have long hair...i mean, hair as long or nearly as long as yours?
*intrigued*

thanks for your input, and the very nice compliment dave ...(i
have to say, if that is you in your user icon pic dave, im in complete
AWE @ your mane - just how long did it take to grow THAT long?!?)
Thank you Asmara My hair has been growing for 13 years.
ohhh..and that would be dreamcatchers not weavers!
oh lordy, what was i thinking!..heheh...
and yeah...theres one braid on it i dont like tho. it looks like a loaf of fancy bread i saw in a bakery stuck to the back of a head. the rest are amazing tho!
i think im gonna get my hair done in tiny tiny little bo dereck braids very very soon...to keep me cool for when i go on holidayyy.
I just put in a ponytail at gymnastics. I do stnad on it on occasion bu
tnot nearly as often as you may imagine. Mind you, it can be a pain on
the bars!
Google styles for long hair-you can come uo with some very odd (but excellently funny) ideas!

ohh, thanks for that site and the compliment to us!
i know how to french braid, from an early age i taught myself how to do that.... but anything beyond that, i end up with aching arms and a mess when it comes to a DIY job. and sadly, none of my friends can braid
i gotta say, i do love the the longhair knot braid...and i have tried to do the eowyn style, but my hair slips out of it. i also love rosestem...not to sure about perimeter braid tho, reminds me of a loaf of bread i seen at the bakers this morning!
once again, thanks so much for sharing the braid site. all of the braids are beautiful!

I
just had to chime in and tell you how beautiful both you and your hair
are! What you said made me wonder if maybe you would enjoy your
hair more if you had more style ideas? Have you seen www.dreamweaverbraiding.com
? On their menu on the left they have braiding instructions and
examples if you don't already know how to do those, and you can get
tons of waves if you braid your hair in small braids when it's damp and
sleep in it. I would definitely ignore anyone who told me
to cut such beautiful hair!

as you know, the ones you most love giving you their opinions on what would be better for you when it comes to style, etc, is a horrible situation to be in, espec when you have always valued their view. this is why im so confudgelated on what to do!
im sorry to hear you were also put in that position. i really feel for you where you felt regrets about having your hair cut. i do see tho, from your flowery chart (if its your chart that is!) that your hair is only 9 months away from it being waist length! so congrats on the wonderful growth katja!
i also clicked on the link to your piccy...so im now able to return your compliment - your hair too, is beautiful. its looks so strong and lushiously thick!...i also brightend the pic a bit (i couldnt see it properly ya see due to my monitor settings! - hope you dont mind!) when i lightend the pic, it let me see all the wonderful colours of your hair tones. you have a few strands that are the colour of caramel, which is so capturing! & if hair was edible, well, id eat yours
awww, thanks so much! i've never been told my hair looked good enough to eat before haha ...yeah i don't know why the picture's so dark. i lightened it up a lot before i uploaded it but for some reason it didn't seem to upload the edited version.
anyway, thanks again for the compliments! and i'm glad to hear you've decided to keep your hair the way it is. it's too long & pretty to cut

your hair is boooootiful too ladyfrog! (just saw it on the pets playing with hair post) think it was that post anyways!
but yes, i can imagine it all free flowing when youre doing your gymnastics, bet it looks wild. and, so pretty when you have to wear it in a bun in order to not do roly polys on it...heheh
katherine - i love what you have done to your hair. i can only imagine how long it would take to do all of your locks!
dave - so the pic is you! lovely! lovely!...its rare to see a man with such long hair these days. youre beautifully unique!
*ties her hair to yours*
katja - hi!

first of all, asmara, welcome to the board. your hair is gorgeous.
like the others said- make sure it's what you really want before you cut it. i've been in that situation and ended up cutting my hair really short, and i still regret it.

Yes, that is me in the sig pic. I started growing my hair long 13 years ago.
I know it isn't easy to resist the suggestions of friends and family. But then I hear you telling us what you want -- and what you want is what is most important.

What you see in my signature pic is abou 18" of my hair. I have twisted in two twists on top, and I have crocheted in some synthetic zig-zag microbraids to the base of the twists.
I think it would probably take a couple of hours to do my whole head that way.
My hair's probably about as long as yours, maybe a little longer.
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?

thanks for your input, and the very nice compliment dave ...(i have to say, if that is you in your user icon pic dave, im in complete AWE @ your mane - just how long did it take to grow THAT long?!?)
im nervous enough about letting my partner trim it, so god knows how id feel in a hairdressers chair asking them to cut the strands shorter at the front and front ONLY (ive read a few posts upon the board where hairdressers tend to get scissor happy on long hair)...im really not to sure what to do at the moment. but what you say, i know is the right advice - i should only get it cut if i want it cut...not because people suggest it would suit me better and be a more "fun" style to have.
ive never really found fashionable cuts/styles and all that hair product stuff you have to use in order to keep it in shape attractive, and have always found the natural long mane much more appealing & in synch with my soul, but when the majority of family & friends keep on telling me to get it chopped, i cant help but question its length.
as for the taking a pic tip katherine, thanks for that! and the link.
id also like to say that the picture you have attatched to your message is absolutely stunning. is that your hair? if so, what method of styling do you use to make it look so beautiful? (i think i can see little plaits? as well as zigzaggy type of waves?) -
now if i could do such things to my hair, i wouldnt even be considering on getting it cut!
