wow, you're like me...kind of. I'm desperate to dye my hair really
unnatural colours and I spent most of last year trying to dye my hair
purple with non permanent dyes. Unfortunately, it would damage myb hair
really badly so I won't dye it. Be an 80 year old granny with pink
hair...

Thanx Juri! I used to dye it every color of the rainbow! ( I mean like,
green, blue, purple ect.) From 7th grade until the end of highschool I had
hair that wasn't my natural color...I don't know why, I always thought my
color was boring. Then a couple years ago I let it all grow out and now I'm
back to my real color and I love it! Go figure.

Here are a couple of pictures I found of myself to show my hair, not
enough to make a good progressive log, but just to get myself out there.
this is me last year around this time...I did a little curl on the bottom
which looked nice I thought...
this is not too long after that... maybe like january 2004 with the straight
look...
this is in June of 2004, it doesn't seem like it was ever much longer than
this, but it must have been because I didn't do the BIG CHOP until October
This is the most recent pic I have of my latest hair do, which was taken
about 2 weeks ago. it's not a very good picture as far as seeing my hair
but if you could use your imagination, the length is a little above the
shoulder
I'll have better pictures up soon, as soon as I get that digital camera I
asked for for Xmas....he he he

Well, I didn't realize how hard it was to keep long hair looking healthy. I always thought you just washed it every-other day or so and that was that. It does take more attention than that, but I love it and I'm up for the challenge ;-). Now, I just hope my head will fit through the door tonight when I want to leave. Thanks for your kind words.

tdouty, that - is ; - awsome. My boyfriend prefers long hair, but
sometimes I wonder if recognizes all the hard work it takes to mantain it,
it sounds like you do! Good for you, seriously, you're awsome.

Sugaree: Yes I am her boyfriend .. well slightly more than
boyfriend. The picture of her in a wedding gown was from a day we
were playing around with a couple wedding gowns she had laying in the
attic. I thought she looked great in them so we took some
photos. I'm not sure how a guy could not take an interest in his
lady's long hair ... it's very sensual, romantic and sexy at the same
time. We get a lot of enjoyment out of the time we spend together
while I brush or wash her hair. I know it's each to his/her own,
but I do enjoy long hair on a woman and am quite open about it. I
post here since I have more computer time at my disposal and then show
her all the interesting things that are posted. We've learned a
lot from this forum.

tdouty, are you Jennifer's boyfriend/husband? ( I know I've seen a
wedding pic on here somewhere...) I find it really sweet that you take a
genuine interest in you wife's hair!
Anais, you definatly my longhair idol! (I use the word "idol" in a loose and
non-obsessive kind of way - I just couldn't think of a better term) I
believe we have similar hairtype and color ( I just went to Fia's Hair
Classifing and determined that I am 1c M iii - about 4" 3/8 around) so in
the future if my hair looks half as good as your's does, I'll be sastisfied.

I'll be sure to show her all your wonderful comments today at
lunch. We did cut a few inches off there a month or two ago, but
we like the look now. Also, without intending to do so, we
removed the rest of her layers from a cut she had done 2 years
ago. Her hair should look terrific when it's waist-length.
Thanks for the compliments.
Ohhhh I totally forgot to comment on Jennifer's hair. That was insensitive of me. I went to page 2 and got carried away. Jennifer's hair is getting more and more gorgeous. And she looks so young too!
tdouty...thanks for all those pics!! Doesn't Jennifer have a lovely smile? I really like the look of her ends right now, nice and neat/blunt. I am aiming for a blunt ended look when my hair is long too.
Anais, I think it's great that you have not had to do any drastic cuts in all that time. Well done! I hope I can go for a couple of years without trimming (well, at least for the next 12 months). How much does your hair grow in one month? Based on your answer, I could visualise my hair in 12 months I think (it grows 3/4 inch per month).
Sugaree, you made my day! My hair can be described as extremely tapered. I had fringe, but because I've cut a total of 2 cm maximum since mid-2003, the rest of it has "fuzzed": everything grew in and shedded at different rates, so I just have a big gradient of random hair. The shortest natural layers are about eyeball length, ranging all the way down to hip length. It almost looks like I've never cut it. I still search and snip for individual split ends though.
I think you have the most lovely hair I've ever seen. It's gorgeous! Your
pics are definatly inspirational. By the look of your hair progress photos it
seems to grow very fast! Is your hair all one length? I just cut my hair to
my shoulders in October and I'm aiming for waist length (for now). I cut it
to get rid of the layers because I think it will look better long at one
length. Do you have any fringe?

Anais, I don't know if I've ever seen anyone's hair grow faster than
your's does. That is sure some incredible progress indeed!
Fabulous hair! We decided to include some progress pictures of
Jennifer in this thread as well.
This picture was taken in January of 2004, shortly after Jennifer and I first met:
June of the same year ... 5 months had past:
September of the same year:
This picture was taken almost exactly one year ago. At this
point, I was considering Jennifer's hair to be "long", but she didn't.
Then in March of 2005, we took this picture. Her hair looks
uneven at the bottom, but I think it's just the way she had it pulled
back this particular day:
I took this picture of her while on vacation at Assateaque Island this past summer:
Then, in September I took this picture and Jennifer made the remark to
me around this time that she thought her hair was beginning to look
"long".
Because of split ends from not having a trim for a very long time, we
decided to trim the longest growth from the middle of her hair. I
hated to do it, but we agreed it was best for her hair. Now, her
hair looks much neater and it's ready for a year of growth in
2006. I can't wait to see her hair at her waist.
letmecount123, I have had long hair my entire life. In the past, I did
not consciously grow it or maintain one length, I just chopped off 4 or
5 inches every year and it always stayed around elbow length. It's only
the past year maybe I realised my hair was long and decided to
grow it. I hope this has answered your question
I agree Anais, lovely pics

I don't think I was ever consciously taking progress pictures... I just had the occasional day where I was fascinated by how long my hair looked and took a few pictures.
And I really wouldn't say I have healthy hair. Or any great product tips.
I've been using satin pillowcases for probably two years though. Sometimes if my hair is looking relatively nice or I have it braided, I tie a silk pajama top on my head when I sleep. It keeps my hair in semi-decent shape when I put pseudo-micros in every summer.
My hair isn't exactly straight either. Most of those pics are following a blow dry straight. Air-drying produces a poofy fuzzy mess that I haven't learned to deal with.
LadyFrog, how long have you had your hair that long if you can't remember it short? Do you keep it a similar length consistantly? I personally couldn't see myself being able to manage with hair any longer than your own.
