I had a really good hair day today. I cross wrapped last night and today my underprocessed parts have waved up a little so I have a nice wavy, beach hair look going on today. Considering all problems I have overcome dealing with my hair, I am pretty content. If my hair really never got any longer, I think I would be happy. My ends look okay, my hair despite the texture differences is soft and smooth, it looks full and has some bounce. I would love to be able to reach bra strap length but I am not going to stress myself out anymore. If I just stay consistent I know I can be APL in 08 if not more but when it gets there, it gets there. When you be content??

I'm trying to get to that point. I just cut 3" off, so it's a lot shorter than it had been (had gotten to BSL in back). But I had to cut it.

I'm trying to be content.

I had done so much protective styling, and while it grew a lot, it wasn't healthy. I feel like I should be enjoying my hair more, wearing it out more and being feminine. So that's my goal. I will continue taking care of it, but I'm going to enjoy it at each of the lengths instead of just hiding it!

I had done so much protective styles, but now I'm just learning to enjoy my hair for what it is. I am going to wear it down, b/c sometimes the protective styles were damaging. So I'm learning to enjoy my hair at each interval length as it grows!
 
No. :look: If I hadn't found LHCF I would be ..

you guys spoiled me .. :grin:

My thoughts exactly. My ideas of what is possible...and now my standards, as a result...have expanded so much that while I am enjoying each stage of the journey, I believe that I could go so much farther and intend to keep trying.
 
I'd be content, my hair has never been as long as it is now. I'm shooting for MBL, but if it doesn't happen, I'm okay. If I don't reach my goal in the next 5 years, I'm going to cut my hair very short.
 
I'm very great full for all I have learned and the length I've achieved but my hair is no where close to where I want and know it can be, so I would have to accept it but I desire much more at least full even APL would be o.k but BSL is my dream
 
No. I am content with my hair in general, but RIGHT NOW, it is far too uneven and multi-textured for me to be okay with that forever and ever. I'm hoping by the end of the year things will be more stable, and THEN I'll probably be more content to just fly with the hair I have while patiently waiting for the next big accomplishment.
 
I would not be content because I know my hair was longer as a child and I refuse to believe my hair can't get longer than SL

This is me too. Why should others have it and I don't? I NEED APL. And that's all there is to it!

ETA if my hair were at APL today I could be content, but it's SL--and not even full SL--so again--NAW!

No. I know my hair can be much longer than what it is now, and my momma always told me to never settle.
 
I would be sooo sad if my hair did not grow any further...it's too short in my book and because I am natural the shrinkage really makes it look short!

I don't think I would be content until my hair reached APL stretched, however I plan to be overjoyed & gleeful at waistlength!!! :rolleyes:

After I reach WL, I will then decide whether to cut to APL-BSL or let it stay WL....This all seems a long way off so I guess I will be UN-content for a while :ohwell:
 
Well, damn, GF, why do you have me thinking about this?! Okay, ummmm, I would have to live with it, if it definitely COULD NOT grow any longer. But as long as I get to enjoy it, at whatever length, then yeah, I'd be content. Lately, I have been doing less protective styles. I wear it out almost daily now. Of course when I'm home, its up, but I figure I just put the last three years, cutting, growing, cutting, growing, natural, relaxed, ALL the while it was protected. It is time for me to just chill, w/o stressing, and enjoy it.

Yes I would be content... If it stayed here - But I hope it does not.
I guess it is terms of perspective. I am grateful - it is only God's Grace. I could be bald.
 
Not at all. but the main reason is for health not length. If my hair was full and thick all the way around I *could* happily stay at CBL but that's not the case now.
 
I just got my hair cut into an inverted bob and although I like it, I would NOT be happy with it staying at this length.:nono: Once I'm back at BSL I'll be much happier!:grin:

I just LOVE,LOVE, LOVE, your hair cut! Now, that is the length I would be VERY happy to have!:grin:
 
[insert curse word here] NO! i have entirely too many products and growth aids under my counter to have hair that doesn't grow any longer
 
No maam I would not :nono:. I want at least MBL, and I wont stop till I get there. I have about 3-4 more inches to go. After that, I'll be content..... maybe :rolleyes:
 
No I would not be happy at all. I would be grateful and blessed that I have some hair on my head however, I would be happier to know that it's still growing longer. There is always plenty of room for improvement.
