The Long Hair Community

Antares · August 26th, 2006, 10:31 AM

I was browsing bemusedly through the "I want more hair" thread, and it was depressing me to see so many people with beautiful hair saying that they weren't satisfied with their hair. I know we all have days when we get frusterated, so I thought it might be nice to start a positive hair thread. Tell us what you like about your hair, compliment other's hair, whatever you like! Just keep it positive. Maybe we can help someone get over a low period in their hair journey!

I'll start. I'm very, very happy with my hair. Sometimes it misbehaves, as all hair does, but the vast majority of the time we get along very well. It's lovely, shiny, healthy hair, and as long as I keep up with its basic needs it behaves itself and does what I want.

Now, come on in and feed your hair positive compliments!

I really enjoyed cowashing my hair this morning. I liked how wonderful it felt against my back as the water ran through it. I can really tell it's growing and I love how curly it is. I also loved how soft it felt this morning when I woke up.

This is a nice thread.

I love my hair because it is powerful and primitive. I am a stronger being for having long hair and I loved the quality of my virgin hair (which I am gradually recovering).

My hair makes me roar with intense ferocity. I love it.

I love my hair because it's ssssooooooffffftttttttt
For the first time ever it's so soft. Thank you CO and honey! The downside being that I keep playing with my braid tassle behind my back which makes me look a bit weird in public (what is she doing with her hands back there?!).

It's the longest it has ever been

It reflects my personality (according to my mum it is fiery, wild and stubborn just like me - not sure she meant it as a compliment though

)

It's cheap and easy to care for but I can buy and make lovely hairtoys if I choose too.

It's very unusual in these parts to have TB length hair and it makes me feel special.

I think that the longer my hair gets, the prettier it looks. I have amazing shine and I love the rich, deep color.

....to have and to hold till fate us may part, I LOVE my hair!

..ever-growing, ever-lovely, ever-easy, ever-freeing ..

Long hair ever growing longer is an absolute JOY to be with!

*Today* I love my hair! Usually, I try to keep positive about it, because if not, I would be frustrated at how fine it is. However, my hair is:

shiny
soft
fun to play with!
has silver threads through it
and it's ME!

I am particularly psyched because today when I measured it, it has grown 1.5" in about 6 weeks. For me, that's great! I have been turned on to such great hair knowledge since coming here.

I am especially heartened by the number of fabulous folks here above the age of 40 (like me!) who are not becoming helmet-bingo-headed people. Nothin' against Bingo! I just think long hair is a lovely, elegant statement and I am thrilled to be regrowing mine. I hope to soon get brave enough to post another photo of my hair in it's normal, slightly wavy state. I have stopped blowdrying, and that has helped immensely! Aww...I love this place *blush*!

When I was young, and clubbing, "Big Hair" was really in. I have fine straight hair and spent innumerable hours trying to look like a 3a instead of a 1a. Over the years I have learned to love the childlike simplicity of my hair. It's smooth and soft and begs to be stroked.

I really love the colour and the silky texture.

I just really love my hair!

I love my hair too ladies! I adore my long thick 3b curls. My curls are healthy and shiny looking. And it doesn't give me hardly any fuss when it comes to styling it, either.

I just love everything about my hair, especally my curls

Oh how fantastic curls are

I can't wait until it gets longer and curlier!

I've been playing with my hair all day, trying new dos. I managed to make a french crown braid all around, but my husband just rolled his eyes. Soooo, I did a half down crown. I love my hair! I have a beautiful halo crown braid wrapped around my head, and my long gray hair ringlets down to my waist. If only my camera would work, lol!

I love my hair! I looked in the mirror this morning and I think I might, maybe, I hope be at "can I call this waist"!!!!

I do love my "new" hair! It's so much nicer than the "old" hair I used to have. When I'm working, reading, or watching tv, I catch myself stroking the back of my head in amazement because it's now so silky!

I'm eager to see how my hair unfurls as it grows. I know part of my frustration with the hair around my face comes from short layers on top. As those grow, my hair will be fuller around my face - something exciting to look forward to!

And I've learned something so important since I came here - when I would get a trim and my hair would do nothing but stick out, I now know that it was from being cut at the wrong place in the "S" wave! I can look at my hair and see it, and now I can correct it. YAY!

I really, really do like my hair now, even when it does give me trouble. There's always a claw clip handy to take care of its obstinate ways!
