Classic Length 2010 Challenge Part I

Lita, wow that looks so very long! If your pants had had pockets, I think you would be BPPL (below pants pocket length, ;) :lol: ).

Mz.MoMo, you are so right about the shed hair... a few long strands balled up together can look far more significant than they should, :lol:.

BPPL..Lol (I love it)




Happy Hair Growing!

^^^^^I *heart* your hair so much! I see you like the Flexi's too.
 
lita!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!


on another note, i think you guys have to keep in mind that when our hair is soooo long, our shed hair looks to be more than what it is. especially if you do what i do and ball all the hair together. the longer strands make it appear to be more hair lost


Yeah. Knowing this is the only thing that keeps me sane when it's the time of the year when my hair sheds.
 
I just wanted to share a picture of "something different." I got a bit bored with the buns, so I did a lazy rollerset this weekend. By lazy, I mean I made 14 ponytails, used foam rollers, and air-dried overnight. I know foam rollers have kind of a bad reputation on LHCF, but I've never observed any damage from them, and at this length, the magnetic rollers require too much effort (plus my head can't fit under a dryer with rollers). The "tail" hanging below the rest is the section of hair that has a really loose texture; as it gets longer, it hangs ever-straighter. I usually pin it up because it looks so out of place. And yes, that is a small Flexi-8 gathering up about 1/3 of my hair. :)


Wow! It turned out beautiful!!!

This is a very nice site: http://www.io.com/~cortese/hair/index.html#care

It talks about growing long hair. Her general philosophy is to keep it simple. She wears hair sticks a lot too and has a page showing her collection and giving opinions about each stick.

CelinaStarr - In the "How Is Your Hair Like Antque Lace?" Section number 1. Wear it UP.... I love the quote " you may be able to get away with wearing it down more often, but if it's like mine, you can't. You just can't. The ends will dry up and snap right the h*** off. Bun that sucker. As often as possible" :lachen:That is me all the way!:grin:
 
yup.... bunning was the only way for me to get to where i am now. i remember when i wore my hair down a lot and i got stuck at mbl for like ever. then i bunned and got to wl and thought "oh, i can wear my hair down again a lot" then again i got stuck PLUS i got mad split ends. so the 2nd time around i just stayed in my buns lol
 
I've been looking around for hair sticks that I would someday like to own and here are some links that I've found (or was informed of by others):

http://www.ketylo.com <---I've heard so many good things about these and want to order some soon. The Dymondwoods are waterproof; so, they're good for wet/damp bunning. These are a favorite at the Long Hair Community. These are gorgeous but simple sticks.

http://www.crystalmood.com <----This site has recieved mixed reviews over at the Long Hair Care Community, but I like my sticks from them and had no issues. There's a sale going on now and many of the sticks are less than $10 (many less than $5).

http://www.dressytresses.com/ <----So many pretty sticks and long lengths too (which is great for thick, curly, coarse hair like mine).

www.longhairloom.com/stickshome.html <----Beautiful and offers Ketylo sticks with toppers

www.longlocks.com/ <---- I've seen a few people at the Long Hair Community with these. These sticks are so gorgeous but EXPENSIVE and from what I've heard shipping is very slow and it can take a few MONTHS to recieve an order. Those that have these sticks say that they're worth it though. As for me, well a gal can dream, lol! I will continue admiring these from afar.

Esty shops with beautiful hairsticks and good reviews:

Hairjems

Timberstone Turnings <----These look okay to me but a lot of people over at the Long Hair Care Community love these. I think the poster Mwedzi, a member on this forum with very beautiful hair, has one.

Aliarose

Night Blooming

Lfaigen

Quecraft<---A lot of people like these. I tend to like hairsticks that are very girly with colors like pink and purple but I am so happy that I didn't overlook these. There are many beautiful sticks here and according to posters at the Long Hair Community and on this forum these sticks are not only inexpensive (many being less than $10) but beautiful, well made, and sturdy.
Because of this post, I went to Quecraft & ordered a haircomb:look:
 
Ooooh!! I love hair sticks and forks!!

I have sticks from Barefoot Maiden (etsy).....she scent me a free pair of earrings with the last set i ordered!:yep:

And i have a green 2 prong hair fork from 60th Street.
 
Are there any stores that sell hair sticks? Do they sell them at the regular bss? I hate ordering online and paying for shipping!

My area doesn't have much, but I would check around. Stores like Claires and Ulta sometimes has them. I would check the mall. Sometimes the BSS do have them. It depends on the area. My area doesn't have much at all. I mean it's hard to find stuff like Aubrey Organics conditioner and we don't even have a Trader Joes. You must go to the next state. :nono:

ETA: The ones from places like Claires do tend to be cheaply made and have a tendency to break easily and/or not hold very long thick hair.

YALL!!!! my bun got molested at work today!!! we have a new hire class going on at work and then came on to the floor to sit with other agents and listen to them take calls. well i was at my supervisor station doing attendance when i feel my bun getting squeezed!!!

now, there is only one person at work who does that to me on a regular basis and today is her day off so i was all confused and turned around. it was some lil girl (not an actually kid, just some young thang in training) and she looks all shocked and says
"oh! i'm sorry!!! i just wanted to see what you filled your bun with to get it so big... but its all of your hair huh?!" and i was like "yeah (crazy look)" then she apologized for being so rude and i accepted it but i was thinking the whole time "this heifer bet'not have made my bun crooked!" lol

OMG :lol: that was really rude of her, but I hope she learned her lesson. I mean if it was fake what was she going to do, embarrass you @ work.

Beautiful it came out nice, that's ALOT of hair.
I'm thinking of trying this now that I've seen your results. I do need a new way to dry style my hair for winter. I can't believe you used regular sponge rollers and your hair is fine and looks great.

She had some nerve!!! What makes people think it is okay to do put their hands on someone else? Also, what makes her think it is okay to do that to the people she will be working for, with, or are looking at her for a position. Crazy, imo. I hope you won't end up working with her on a daily basis. That might end up being stressfull.
 
I have been stalking...I mean peeking :peek2: in this tread since earlier today. I am no where near classic length but when I came in here...I felt like I'm in hair-topia (if that a word :look:)!!! You ladies have such beautiful hair!!! :thud:

I'm subscribing...hope you don't mind. :look: :giggle:

lmfao what ever!!! i pray i'm her supervisor so she has to interact with me on a daily basis and see my bun everyday!!!! :lachen::lachen::lachen:
 
Why does it seem like when you find a product that works really well and you are hooked on it, it is no longer available on the shelf!:wallbash:

Well I was using VS Deep Salon Essence (curl essence), adding it to my juice mix and it worked so well... My curls loved it and I was happy! Now I can no longer find it :nono: and the lady at the store said she doesn't know if she'll get more or not. She gets other VS line products but not that one.

I had to find a replacement...:sad: I found a Asian Product with the assistance of the lady working the hair section. It's called Red Flo Camellia Hair Glazing Essence. It is for curls and has Camellia Oil and Camellia Water in it. The ingredients are good so I hope it works as well!
 
i hope it works well for you too... i dunno what i would do if the aussie moist poo and cond or HE HH was to be discontinued... I'D JUST DIE I TELL YOU!!!!!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is exactly the problem I have been having for YEARS. So infuriating! That is why I was so happy to learn about the "raw ingredients" and where to buy them on this forum. So far, I am finding it much easier to learn to mix up my own stuff than to rely on store-bought products that will eventually disappear.

You are 100% correct about that!:yep: I just need one more herb or two, to take the place of curl enhancing.... I am sure I'll find the right blend soon.
I have been working on it, I just haven't found the correct herb yet... But I am close. Then I'll be 100% "homemade"!:woohoo2:
