QuoteReplyTopic: Its such a long process! Posted: December 03 2005 at 2:41pm
I am trying to grow my hair but its so hard. I have been
dealing with it the best I can and doing well but It’s starting to get to me. Sometimes
I think my hair is growing and then other times I think it hasn’t, but that may
be due to the fact that I have to look at it every day. I just wish it could
grow to the length I want it (to my hips) over night. It is almost waist
length, in fact its pretty much there but my hair grows rather slow. And
beside that it seems to bother me so much more. It seems to get pulled by
everything my clothes my jewelry, my boyfriend sometimes pulls it just by
sitting next to me, it gets stuck under my arm, things I have never noticed
before. How do you guys deal with the slow growing process?
You mentioned that it's getting in your way. How about updos or braids? That always helps me forget how long it is. Then after so many days of wearing my hair contained, I take it out and think, "Daang it feels long"
Woah! Hair to your WAIST? That sounds pretty long to me! Keep up the good work - and I think Anais is right - after a few weeks of braids or buns, you will be shocked at the growth and health of your hair when you let it out to play!
I agree with Anais too. Your hair sounds a similar length to mine (I
can touch the my hipbones with the ends but it's not hip length yet)
but for some reason I don't think mine gets in the way. Do you usually
wear your hair loose?

Anais: Maybe you are right
about wearing it up and then taking it down and noticing the difference. That
would be nice because as it is right now it just looks the same to me every
time I see it. I do need something that will make me feel like I’m eventually
going to get somewhere. My birthday On December 24th and I was
hoping I would notice a big difference by then…maybe I should wear it up every
day till then lol.
Special kitty: yes my hair is
about waist length but for some reason it doesn’t look very long to me maybe it’s
because I use to have longer hair, or I just find the growing process to be so
slow. But thanks for the encouragement.
Lady frog: your hair is
beautiful, to me your hair looks longer then mine, but I don’t usually get to
see my hair from the back. It just seems to take forever I guess I’m feeling a
bit discouraged at the moment. And yes my hair does get in the way. I do wear
my hair loose, I figure my hair is SLOWLY getting longer and it would be a
shame to tie it up all the time. Maybe I haven’t found the right style? How so
you wear your hair when it isn’t loose?
At the moment it seems to get
caught on everything and I really don’t know how I’m going to manage having it
longer if it bugs me so much now. I also don’t know how I’m going to manage to
take care of my hair. The longer it gets the harder it gets to manage and the
more time I have to spend on it. My hair I naturally curly I wear it straight. I’m
mixed with east, Indian, Trinidadian Irish and Spanish!! I know that’s a lot! I have hair like…well I have never met anyone
with hair like mine to be honest. It can be very curly and gets a lot shorter
when it is or very long and pin straight.
I usually put my hair in a single plait at the moment because I don't
have much time in the mornings to mess with my hair. However, when I
have time, I like to put my hair up. I used to always ponytail it or
wear it loose but they always got more tangles. I know what you mean
about wearing your hair loose but I think that if you do that, it will
get in your way more. Save it for special occasions and everyone will
go, 'wow-your hair's so long!'

I must enjoy torturing myself because I always seem to read the long hair posts AFTER I've just gotten a hair cut ... and then it makes me wish MY hair was long! Technically it is long -- I mean, it's past the shoulders -- but nowhere near as long as your guys'! Oh well, at least it does grow fast. Anyway, everybody's hair is so pretty.
Hey Gossip, I think maybe this is like the old saying of "A watched pot never boils" (is that how it goes?); you're probably just way too conscious and aware of your hair. Maybe if you could take the focus off of it, you'd feel better. I don't pay too much attention to mine -- well, I let it grow but I don't have any goals for it and don't measure it and all that stuff -- just every once in a while it seems like it's grown a foot overnight. Either I or someone else will notice how long it's gotten in what seems such a short amount of time. I think it's just that nobody was paying that much attention to it. Know what I mean? Anyway, I'm rambling and I don't know if this is making any sense.

Alayney, I don’t think I am familiar with
that saying but I like it. I understand what you are saying. I’m trying to take
the good advice that I got and I have started to wear my hair up. It turned out
to be rather good because my up dos don’t require as much styling and flat
ironing witch I use to do everyday. But When I do wear my hair in up dos for a
week or so and then let it down I do
notice the new growth. My birthday is on the 24th so I’m trying to
wear it up until then. I guess I was just getting a bit frustrated that it wasn’t
getting to where I want as fast as I want it to. I have just added a fast
absorbing liquid vitamin to my vitamin regime so I hope that helps. I guess I’m
just going to have to try and be patient.

Almost waist length?! Take comfort in your current long hair
length, gossipqueen! Just take good care of it, do periodic
S&D, avoid salons(!), and I can practically guarantee it'll grow
longer.
