Why Long Hair?

Oh wow, I couldn't tell at all. It looks so shiny, I assumed it MUST be natural.

Kalika, I would just like to say: WOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

That hair is amazing--the shine, length, color, and just... everything. =D I would love it if you answered a few questions.

-What's your natural haircolor?
-How long have you been growing it out?
-What is your hair wash routine?
-What conditioners and shampoos do you use?
-Do you use oils? if so, what kinds?

As for people who pressure others into dying their hair or cutting it, I just stopped paying attention. I made the mistake about 2 years ago to cut my hair to ear length because my friends pressured me into it. They all didn't like my BSL hair, but now that it's grown out to my waist or so, everyone loves it and begs me not to ever cut it.

Hi Redheadgirl:

I am so sorry to hear that. What kind of a girlfriend would do somthing like that. She must be a real piece of work.

Remember, your hair will grow back. This "Witch", lost a good friend. That is somthing, that will never grow back.

I am very sad to hear that you were conned into cutting your hair, Redhairedgirl. I know what happened stinks, but don't let this "friend" know you are unhappy. Wear it as pretty as possible, take pride in it and hold your head up. A well-shaped short cut can look cute on nearly every woman. Remember always that it WILL grow back!
Why *I* love long hair on most women is b/c it gives them a mystical aura, an extra dimension of beauty that no shorter style can match. So many women become just another pretty face in the crowd to me after cutting their magnificent manes. I just saw the March 2005 GH mag yesterday, and they chop some lovely woman's hip length tresses into a classic housewife bob with choppy layers. She still looks pretty, but her hair no longer accentuates her loveliness to the extent that her long locks did, in my opinion. Before the shearing, EVERY man's head would have turned, believe me!
As for my wife's long hair, the smell, softness and luxuriant aura of her waist length tresses make it like Christmas every day. And yes, she has come to love it too, esp. its texture. Bob
P.S. Kalika and others, WOW!

I was persuaded to have my nearly waist length hair cut really short about a month ago by my now ex-best friend. I found out after that she only did it to see if I would go through with it (*****)! So I would love to have long hair again. Short hair sucks. As soon as it is long enough, I am going to have extensions, I reckon it will take about 3 years for it to grow back naturally to how it was.

Susan, I was talking in general terms. I didn't say that women attempt to pressure other women into a certain length of hair, what I meant was that women with certain hair lengths relate to each other.

My wife wears very short hair, and most of her girlfriends have either long or medium length hair, and she gets along fine with them, and I'm sure she never tells them how to wear their hair, she wouldn't do that.
But she always is very happy and excited when one of her girlfriends decides to get her hair cut short.
That is what I meant.

Your hair looks nice Susan. How long is it now? How long are you planning on growing it?

My hair is straight, medium thickness, dark blonde hair, appox. mid-back length, trimmed at the ends in a blunt cut.
I plan on growing my tresses to tailbone length.

I like my current length that's in my sig.

My hair isn't very heavy so unless I'm looking at a picture I don't notice how long it is. I don't think I want to ever go above where it is now. That's part of why I slowed down and cut the 3 inches off last month. I want to enjoy this length a bit more before something does get harder.

And catch up the breakage, and learn styles, and try stuff.

I'm glad you're happy Viktoria.

Birds of a feather flock together Sherrie!

Long haired women want other women to wear long hair and short haired women like other women to wear short hair.

My wife, who is very tolerant of all hair lengths, does like it when a woman she knows gets her hair cut real short, since my wife wears ultra short hair.

It's about 35-1/2" long as measured from my front hairline. I figure that puts it about 1-1/2" from tailbone (according to my anatomical research), or about 6" from classic.
