I did it!!!!!!!!!

I couldn`t get my hair to grow, because my mother
wouldn`t let me grow it out. I didn`t want to tell her that I wanted long hair. Today I couldn`t hold it in any more so I told her and she was okay with it!!!!!
Did you want long hair and your mother wouldn`t let you do it? Tell me.

cool how long`s your hair? :)

Glad you talked to Mom! See, we aren`t that bad! ;-)

Hallie, when I was 13 or 14 I decided I wanted to grow out my "boy short" hair. I wanted waistlength hair, like my friend, Dolly. One day, I announced to my mom that I wanted long hair. She said, "How long? What do you want long hair for? You`re not going to have long hair when your 30 are you?!?" She wasn`t very supportive. In her defense, I had almost BS length hair as a little girl and it caused her alot of grief, so she was probably thinking she would be going through that again. Anway, long story short: Of course, the first thing I did on my 30th birthday (I`m 36 now) was look in the mirror and say (out loud, even!), "Well, whaddya know? I`m 30 with long hair!!"

I never did reach waistlength because my hair always started looking bad at almost BS length. About a year and a half ago I got online and found several hair sites. I discovered I had been treating my hair badly all these years. So now I`m almost at waistlength and growing till it stops looking healthy. You know what else? Everytime my mother sees me she says, "You have such beautiful hair!" :-)

Grow your hair long and healthy, Hallie. And keep talking to Mom! :-)

i don`t agree with you. i had long hair as a child and i still don`t have a problem with growing out my hair. (i`ve cut it shoulder length twice in 2 years) and it has always grown back pretty quick.

my daughter is five and her gorgeous hair is down to her waist. If i had a dime for every time she gets a compliment, i`d be rich.

it was the opposite with me! When I was 10 i wanted to cut my longer-than-waist length hair to my shoulders... and she wouldnt let me. finally she did, but kept whispering "Not so short" to the lady as I talked.. so the first thing i did when i got home was tell her off cry. but now im growin it again.
