u know some black woman can`t grow the hair what they got now. i want my hair to at least achieve almost down to my waist, which will probably take about another 7 years. god! , i wish i took the genes that my sister got hers from. she have only been growing her hair for 8 year and it`s at her butt right now, i guess i`m kinda jealous.

Im trying to grow my hair as long as it can grow! You`ve just gotta be patient though. Someone told me that getting your hair trimmed keeps it healthy and helps it grow and I think its true because last year I got my hair cut really really short- I still cant believe it cause I had really long hair before that-but the back was shaved and the sides above my ears. Its grown back to the original length and I will never again put scissors to it unless its just to clip the ends. My dad always tells me this scripture out the bible "a woman`s hair is her glory" so I think twice about cutting my hair. And let me tell you- he is so right! Nothing is more sexy and feminine than a headful of shiny healthy hair.

Shooooo. Goodness knows that I hate getting trims. My hairdresser cuts at least an inch per trim it seems like it. And I was getting them like every two months. It`s just not fair. I know that you need trims to keep your hair healthy and growing, but I think that I may slack down on them, because she is the only hairdresser that I`ve had who cuts so much for a simple trim. After she trims my whole head once, she goes back and does it again from different angles. That`s what makes me so mad.

Anyways, I want hair to the middle of my back. Right now, it`s chin length in the front and about an inch or two past my shoulders in the back. Once it gets longer, I`ll add some layers. But I am trying to avoid those scissors!

Right now mine is brastrap length, I want to let it grow as long as it wants. My first goal was brastrap, I made it. And my second goal is midback, wether or not I can handle that much hair will determine if I pursue my final goal.... waistlength.

I feel a lot of black women can grow their hair very long, and genes may play a part, but we must not let genetics get in the way of achieving their goals, many of us put on weight very easy, but we watch what we eat and we exercise regularly, so we are able to speed up our metabolism and hence keep our weight off. Some of us have hair which is stronger than others, hence they are able to get their hair down to a certain length faster. Ladies aim for waist length and beyond, how many women we see with locs have thigh length hair. I think once you keep your mind and body healthy, you can get anything you want, but it requires, patience and tender loving care, supplements and water. That helps greatly. I am aiming for waist length and I wish all the other Ladies on this broad all the best, and once you have faith, hope and you believe in yourselves, you will succeed by the Grace of the Universe.

My hair is natural and I wear it very short in a twa cut close to the scalp. I dress and look feminine,wear earrings and makeup, wear dresses etc.. It isn't a problem having short hair if you look good in very short hair.

I have no desire to grow my hair long. I like it short, my husband likes short hair on me, it is easy to care for, especially if you are busy like I am with work and two kids.
I am keeping my hair short, it looks good and has other advantages for a woman.

Brina,
Are you experiencing a lot of breakage from growing out your perm? I assume you mean a relaxer. I want to do this too, but I lose so much more hair when I comb it than when I have a relaxer! I really want to go natural, though. I am triracial: Black- Indian-Caucasian.

MY HAIR WAS TO MY KNEES WHEN I WAS YOUNG BUT WHEN MY MOM STOPPED PRESSING MY HAIR AND PUT A PERM IN IT, IT HAD BROKE AND ONLY GROWS UNTIL MY SHOULDERS. NOW I AM GROWING OUT THE PERM AND I AM HOPING IT TO BE TO MY KNEES AGAIN.

My is currently 3 inches away from being at my bra clasp. I should reach my goal with a healthly trim by April/May/June of 2004. My next goal after that is to be nearing waist-length hair in the summer of 2005.
