I was thinking- we're always posting about our hair's problems on this board. We always seem to be frustrated with its condition or its lack of growth or trims gone wrong or something like that. And while I have no problem posting messages like that as it's a great way to find the solution you're looking for (lord knows I've posted my fair share ...today around noon I realized I was having a really good hair day. My hair probably didn't look especially great since it dried in a loose bun last night while I slept, but it felt great. It was soft and shiny, not frizzy or tangled. And long. For the first time in a while I could feel how long my hair is getting- the back is only 2 or 3 inches away from the waistband of my jeans! It's becoming sort of a cloak, spilling over my shoulders and spreading out down to my elbows... which is a really neat feeling. And while I still found a few split ends and a tiny bit of breakage, I didn't care because I knew I could trim it later. Overall, I was satisfied with my hair, which is a rare occurence for me {especially when I leave it down for the day}. So I was wondering... what constitutes a great hair day for you?? ------------- "If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative." -Woody Allen |

Hmm...good question.... A great hair day would be when my hair looks full (but not big), frizz-free, shiny, with nice defined waves/spirals. Don't think I"ve had a day like that in while though But on the topic of "feeling long" (and I know I am not even close to being in your league! hehe), the other day after my shower I was walking around without my top on and I could feel my hair tickling my back (between my shoulder blades) and it felt sooooo NICE! -------------

I think having long hair makes you somehow feel more confident, if you know what I mean. My hair normally has good days, but there are times when I wish I could yank it out! Terrible, I know, but what else do you do??!! Anyways, a good hair day would be frizz-free and everything else good you could wish for! ------------- RANITA~~ ----------- What good is life without a horse??!!! |

I have good hair days when I realise how unusual it is to have long hair, how individual it is and how adaptable. I went to a conference yesterday and there were three of us there with long hair (all about the same length), one had a french roll held with a silver barette, one was wearing it down and straight and mine was in a plaited bun decorated with glass pins (I will stop being quite so chuffed with this new do at some point - honest! All the other women there had shoulder length, bobbed or shorter and we really stood out. Noone there would realise my hair took about 5 minutes to do. ------------- 3a C/M ii 35"(21/03/06)dark red Founding Member of the Benign Neglect Club.

Good thread! I'm having a good hair day today, it took me 60
seconds to put my hair up in a french twist, and it came out looking
just perfect! That NEVER happens! It usually takes me about
10 minutes to do one, (counting all the poking various places to try to
get it to not poke up too big on top, or uneven, taking it down and
doing it a second time, etc.) There are plenty of hairstyles I
can do in 60 seconds or less that would look fine too, but somehow I
always try for the frustrating and complicated in the mornings when I'm
already late, and it rarely makes me feel like I'm having a good hair
day. Oh, and one of my coworkers came in one morning this week when I was wearing it down and said "It looks LONG today, how did that happen? You usually wear it up, that must be it". That's the first person that noticed it was growing!  ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

My good hair days come when my hair is freshly washed and dry, I'm
wearing it loose and I've got a shortish top on so I can feel it
brushing my elbows and tickling the back of my jeans. I love it when that happens but unfortunately that's less common these days as length increases. Special occasions only!

About a week or two ago I posted a good hair day thread - that day my hair was soft, full of body, shiny, with lots of spiral curls. It was super bouncy and looked great too. Other good hair days are when my waves are defined but not too curly, and my ends look full and healthy. Thanks, Katja for keeping us focused on the positive-------------

I'm in the medium hair catagory. However, I too love freshly washed hair. I love my soft, shiny, rich (Natural auburn hair color). My hair is Naturally straight, slight wave, very slight, which is nice, I must admit.;) ------------- God Bless,... Katie |

I feel that my good hair days are becoming more and more frequent as
my hair gets longer! (For me anyway) it seems that the longer it gets the easier it tends to be to make my hair look nice. You know that really annoying time when you hair is just below shoulder length and it kind of has no where to "sit" it flips over your back and doesn't have the weight to "hang nicely" (does anyone here know what I mean...or am I just rambling??) Well anyway I think I'm finally past that! In other words...i think it's getting long! I'm excited because it's the beginning of spring here (in North America) and that means summer is coming! a great time for hair growth. Also, since I'll be busy doing other things like playing outside, going to concerts, the beach, and ultimatly worring less about my hair and more about having fun in the sun. I'm sure it will seem to grow faster if I'm not so preoccupied. I'm hoping by my birthday (Jul 20) it will be at BSL! ------------- Don't let the man get you down 1c MC iii Dark Brown, 23" Goal: Waist |

MissMareeJane, I know exactly what you mean! My hair is right now at that awkward stage with no weight and it bends in weird places. I'm glad you're past that stage now. Yay, I have something to look forward to in the realm of good hair days -------------

A good hair day for me is the day after I've washed, so it isn't frizzy
(and is still well moisturized, so it isn't crispy dry yet), feels soft
and smooth, and is less prone to tangling (and what tangles there are
can be readily worked out). Great topic idea, Katja.  ------------- |
