Grow Long Hair for Others to Envy

Yep. I'm not going to lie.:lick:

But it's not my only motivation; I really want to have health all over, and my long hair will be part of it.

I also hate weave and braids, so there goes that.

No. I want to envy my own long hair:yep: I said it! I guess my hair was always "long" at least in the Black community.

However, it's definitely not as healthy as it could be and I need to improve that! I am now going natural. The back of my hair is a little above BSL and the front is APL. I have been washing/going, but this is not going to work for too much longer. I will probably use braids, and maybe even weave (never did that before) in addition to cutting it little by little!
 
Uh no.

I just like the look on me.

I don't really try to do things for other people. Life is way too short.
 
When i first started growing my hair it was 100% for me...but many people including family and friends do not believe i will ever get my hair long....now i want long hair for me, and also to swish in their faces:yawn:
 
Uuummm......I would like others to think its beautifull, i dont know if thats a type of envy.
I think i will enjoy being a full black dark-skinned women with long hair and to surprise people and dispell the little myths that we cant grow our hair, but i do not at all want to start feeling special about myself because of it and flaunting it and hoping others will envy in a jeoulus type way because for one more and more black women are learning about long hair, so wanting others to envy may not last that long and my hair wouldnt be as special to me anymore, and secondly, i want to tell any and every black woman i see that may be envying my hair how to get it, because i have met black women in the past with long hair and you could tell they wanted people to envy their hair and it kind of pissed me off because i thought they were being selfish (Thats when i was younger lol)
 
no I am doing this for myself. because I can picture myself with APL. But I will say that I have a friend who makes it her mission to to talk about how bad my hair is and how bad it looks, I do look forward to showing her that my "bad hair" can grow and be healthy. I don't think she or anyone else would envy me, that's not my goal. But I do hope I can cause stop people from thinking you have to have "good hair" for it to be long, and you have to be light skinned or mixed. When I hear people say ignorant things like that really makes me want to grow my hair.
 
Yes.................:grin:

Well Not to envy but to prove all of them wrong cause I tired of ppl thinking that black women cant grow hair especially black ppl
 
Heck yeah because all these quick weave, sew-in and lace front bald head heffas in Detroit are going to have to bow down in 2009...cuzz BSL length is going to mine in the 0-0-9.

And, I want to dispell the myth the AA women cannot grow long healthy hair . Plus, I love me some hair why not cultivate and growwwwwwww.
 
Not for the purpose of envy. However people need to know that all textures of hair grow long.
 
I never ever thought Envy, I could care less really what others think. I am growing my hair for my own personal pleasure. But like everyone else. No one believed it would and told me you do not have growing hair. I would have great pleasure walking by with my hair long and seeing the expression on their face but have them envy me and it no. no I don't think in those terms. I would not want to do anything to hurt or make another person angry- Angry enought to cut it, at that. Envy makes you do crazy things if you give into it. my hair right now is all about me. I just hope I get to see it long, in my lifetime.
 
No, I've wanted long hair ever since I was little. I've always had short to medium length hair. Also, I think I just look better with long hair.

:lachen: oooooo snap,,,,,,,,
 
Well I would be lying if I said no but I dont think thats my motivation to grow long hair. I like it when people say my hair looks long and healthy but I have learned a lot of things about oils and vitamins that will help my hair to grow but inturn will be healthy for my body as well.
 
:yep: Yup. That's part of the reason. Well, more of a nice side-effect.

Well, admire is a better word, not envy. I want them to admire and be inspired.

I agree with the bolded. Plus, I tend to think too deeply about things, and I wouldn't want to make another black woman feel bad about her hair.

yes I agree. Maybe not so much for envy but for inspiration. If another woman see us with long healthy hair, she will know IT can be done and all she have to do is ask me or others on this board for information.

If I do not have the same hair texture as her, I will not hesitate to give her this site as I have done in the past.

I agree with this!
 
Yes, for myself and others.. A person do not have to be mixed, wear weaves to achieve long hair all you need to do is give your hair TLC..
I don't call it envy but it's to show that one can grow healthy, thick and long relaxed hair...
 
wow. maybe that's why so many women have been on here for YEARS and barely have any growth/retention to show for it. with all the info on here, some should be WL by now but they STILL stuck at like SL.

simply because they have the wrong motivation. :rolleyes:
 
I have had many nay-sayers over the years, so yeah part of my reason for trying to get to WL is to swing it in their faces. The proof is in the puddin'!!!
 
NO
I have always had to buy hair if I wanted it long. Now that I know there is a chance I can grow my own and save my money on good weaves
I am all in. I hope that when I get my hair to my goal length It will be a source of inspiration for other women who have a hair history simular to mine

Love ya for this entire post - ITA
 
I'm with you DLewis...I never even thought about the "envy" factor.

But, I know how I've always envied long hair...so that was definitely part of my motivation to grow it for myself.
 
well I am growing my hair cause I miss having thick long hair...and kinda to prove to myself that I can get it past my longest length from when I was younger....and also the ability to dispell the myth is a little motivation ( I remeber I dated 2 men that were disappointed when I cut my hair) the first one in 2003 I went from just about apl to a lil above sl and that guy was like I loved ur hair and it enhanced ur beauty cause not many darkskinned women have long pretty hair like urs...all I said was its hair it will grow back) so in 2005 Im back to apl and chillin I got mad at my SO and instead of body art or piercing I kept my apt wit my stylist and told her when I sat down that I wanted her to cut it ....she tried SL but I was way more upset than that we took it to my ears in a cute lil asymmetrical type cut...reall cute ...but SO had the nerve to say I should leave u for doin some stupid stuff like that I said bye and he stayed

needless to say I kinda equate the length of my hair to beauty so I wanna be the cute chubby dark skinned chik wit long hair thats all mine....


sorry for being so long
