Hi everybody!

This message is intended to be taken in a positive vein...

I would like to encourage everyone who reads this board, to post here -- add a comment to an existing thread of discussion, or start a new topic.  If you aren't registered, it's very easy to do, and absolutely free.  Surely there are thoughts, issues, and feelings related to the topic that are floating around in your brains and waiting to be expressed.  Well, I'm sure we'd all like to read about them here -- and talk about them too.

I agree with you.It is more fun with active board members.  You don't need to be a pro to answer a question or two.I am going to try to be more active.

Yeah, I feel like I'm a bit obsessed and ever-present on the board, and it would be nice to have some company! I especially miss MissMareeJane, Anais, LadyFrog, and TDouty. I know you're out there!

It is very nice. the name of the topic really thrills me. It is nice to have a long hair , I enjoy it . I take atleast 15 to 20 min daily on it. I really love it and i love interacting with similar interested people.
 
I love all styles. I dont differentiate between men and women when it comes to hair styles. I am comfortable with both. In fact now iam sporting only long plaits ( My hair is 30 -32 inches long ) I would like to have different styles of plaits and buns. My wife is very supportive of my long hair
 
Forums suggestions are invited for different plaits and bun styles for me

After years of wearing fairly short hair, over the past year I have been growing my hair long, for the first time in years.

My hair is now several inches past my shoulders. I am enjoying having long hair again. Maybe it's a middle aged crisis thing, growing my hair long. Some guys get a 20 year old mistress. Other guys buy a sports car. And other guys grow their hair long.
Or maybe I just feel like having long hair. I don't care why I am growing my hair long. I just like having long hair.
I wear earrings and a goatee beard also. I'm in my 40s, so I am hip and middle aged! Haha!

My teenaged daughter told me I am more cool than some of the young guys!

Thanks everybody!  The increased participation is great to see.   I know I haven't been around much lately  but hopefully that'll improve.
 
Don't worry, SK or Rini.  I sometimes feel like I'm overbearing - but I don't try to be.  I figure if anyone thinks "ugh, yet another message from Dave," then they are welcome to not read it.

Hi, Dave, I don't think too many people think that....it is always nice to read what you wrote, IMO. I like the idea and am supportive of long hair all the way.
 
A friend of mine recently asked me to cut her hair from waist length to bra length. I was absolutely horrified. But she was serious, so I did as she asked (not with a very willing heart, I'm afraid!) . Everyone who is growing out your hair, hang in there! It'll be worth it!

Hi,
I'm new to this site and I'm so amazed at what everyone considers to be long hair...
I'm a female and live in Florida.  I've been letting my hair grow for about 13 years and it's only grown five feet.  I'm looking for others that have truly long hair, natural and real, so I can discuss different styles and ways to wear it.  I'm having more problems the longer it gets, like stepping on it and it gets tangled easily since my arms aren't long enough to brush it in one stroke.  Questions are welcome and any advice towards care for my hair.  Thanks

Welcome Longhaired1!
 
I too am in Florida, and have hair that is about 5 feet long... No, we sure can't comb or brush through our hair without using something to "fold" the hair.  I use my fist, sometimes an open hand, although using the fist is less likely to cause snags... And when it's loose, I do have to take care to assure that I don't step on it, especially when standing up straight after having leaned over or crouched down to pick up something.  I seem to manage just fine, though....
 
Looking forward to your continued participation here.

Same here, Longhaired1!
 
 Welcome and your hair sounds beautiful.....mine is only about three feet long (give or take a few inches....I haven't measured in a long time). Would love to see a picture (if you don't mind)!

Yeah, I say 'only' five feet because SO many people THINK they have long hair...  They don't know what long hair IS!  When it's cool outside or when I'm in the house with the AC on, I wear my hair in a ponytail wrapped around my neck, then let the rest of it hang down.  I can wrap it around my neck twice and the remaining hair still goes down to my, well, past my boobs...  It's a hassel, but well worth it. 
I've never seen anyone else with hair this long.  I guess it's five feet, five inches long because that's how tall I am and it touches the floor when I don't have boots on.
I don't know how to post a picture otherwise I would, although I don't have any recent ones.
Write back anytime.

I love horses too...  I used to have a horse and I braided his tail and mane and my hair too, then had a picture taken of us together.  I have that picture around here somewhere. 

I don't know how to post a picture, so until someone gives me instructions on how to do it, you'll just have to use your imagination...

Browsing the magazine racks recently and saw the cover of a horse magazine featuring a horse with a very long and well-groomed mane.  Don't recall the name of the publication, off-hand.
