LAW Of Attraction and Long Hair

Okay. Ladies, I know you are guilty of it, I am too. Someone tells you that your hair is long and you are quick to correct them that it is not that long. Our thoughts have power. I decided to stop saying my hair is not long. My hair is past my shoulders but not quite APL. I decided to embrace the length I have now and to say that it is long. I find when I claim something it becomes a reality. What are your thoughts?

I also feel that this board has so many fabulous women with strikingly beautiful long hair that we sometimes don't feel worthy to say our hair is long.
 
I have never said, "No it's not long!" :lachen: NEVER!
Even when I had just 5 inches or 6, because to me at that time, it was long. (I have just never looked at my hair relative to anyone else's.)

I remember when I could not get past 3-4 inches...and then when 5-6 was the longest I ever knew. So when people find 5-6 inches long, I totally get them.

Because I wear it shrunken, folks are usually surprised to see that it is actually more than 3 inches long, so when they say it's long, I don't argue with that. I actually beam, grinning Kool-Aid style, and may seven say thanks, depending on whether that is said compliment-wise or just as a matter of fact. I am so grateful for every inch I have, especially considering last year's setback that wasn't my doing. I'm happy to be where I am and happy when others see the progress I see.
 
Yes, you're right. After seeing so many REALLY long heads of hair here, your vision of what "long" really is can become clouded (mine might have). And if someone is of the opinion that my hair is long, I defintely won't correct them. Thanks for the reminder!:yep:
 
Oh... I never say negative things about my hair...
I do say "it's going to be long"...
maybe I should just think I'm already MBL and
the ends are just invisible and will become visible someday soon

:look::look::look::look::look:
 
I just smile and say thank you when people say my hair is long. Sad, but before I BC'd I had longer hair than most of the AA women I know and my hair was just a little past my shoulders. So, when they say my hair is long at SL I know they are being honest about it, so I just thank them and move on. I did, however deny that I had "good" hair to someone the other day. I really dont know why I did it. I love my hair. I think its "good" but when a lady at church made that comment I just shook my head no. I agree with you that words have power and I felt really bad about it right after I said it. I felt like I had just insulted my hair:nono:. I'm not going to do that anymore because I really DO think my hair is good. I dont know, maybe it was just too many compliments for me in one day:ohwell:.
 
I am learning to not obsess over getting to a certain lenght. I need to learn to enjoy my hair at any length. People tell me that my hair is getting so long and thick, I would quickly dispel what they were saying by saying well it's not APL or bra strap yet.

I so believe in the Law of Attraction. I NEVER speak negative or complain about my hair. People will say "oh your hair grows fast or its so long" I say yes it does/is :yep:.

You should just think it is MBL. I do :look:.

Speak that which is not as if it were until it is~

I think this is key. Anytime my hair grew it was when I was happy with it.

I think that because I was always focusing on the bad thigns about my hair like the dryness, the damaged parts, and the lack of length, I kept attracting setbacks and stayed at NL for 3 years:ohwell: What you focus on expands.

I believe in LOA.
 
I truly believe in LOA. I always tell people "my hair grows fast" especially last year when I did the BC and my hair was super short. I used LOA (visualization, watching my words) and my hair definitely grew. Sometimes I wasn't even sure if what I was saying was true LOL but I truly believe that it makes a difference when you don't think negatively.

I will watch myself when people give me compliments. I wouldn't want to hinder my growth with "fake humility" if you know what I mean (guilty of that too)
 
I believe in the Laws of Attraction.:grin: IMO it is the truth and I try to implement it on a daily basis. It becomes a way of life for me rather than just focusing on one aspect, I apply it to all.:yep: I don't ever recall verbally "saying" my hair isn't that long, but I would "think" it, which is just as bad because the thought was implanted.:nono: My hair grows fast and has always been APL or a little past. So, I don't know why the thought crossed my mind.

I feel this is the same thing that happened to me with getting to APL. I am hiding my hair to give it a break and not think of it.
 
I'm a BELIEVER in the Law of Attraction. I say this daily:

-Thank you for my full hair!!

When I'm shedding excessively (I'm a shedder, lol), I keep saying that, and try not to think negative thoughts.

My hair has never been full, but it sure is growing in thick now :D Thanks to the henna, biotin, MSM and the Law of Attraction of course!

Your hair is beautiful.
 
Thanks CG for this thread. You know yesterday I said it! I told my sis that I act like my hair isn't long :look: and she agreed with me! :blush: I think it's finally sinking in.... to me.... my hair is long.... there I said it.

Thanks! :grin: I feel better :yep:
 
I am "guilty" of saying this. I get a compliment and I say..eghh thanks, but it isnt that long. Then I get the oh..sorry... followed by a quiet "is that a weave?" lol
I correct tell them no, and they walk away looking at me like I am crazy. Even before this board, I always thought if a girl had mbl hair, then she had long hair, I grew up thinking that.

LOL! Yeah, I like that idea.
I've always been quick to give people strange looks when I have been told my hair is long. Or I just come out with something like "really... :look: !" or "I don't think its that long :nono: !"
I really need to stop that.
I do say its getting long though too!
 
i totally agree with the law of attraction. this is the first time i am seeing it referred to as that. i have always called it "positive affirmation." i have used positive affirmation for everything else in my life to encourage success for myself, my career, my family, etc. but i never really applied it the growth of my hair. there are a couple sisters at work that make the comment all the time that i have "good" hair, it's "so soft, what do you use?" and i look at them with the deer in the headlights look. my hair is just past my shoulders (and only at the crown at that!) and they say these things when i'm bunning! i gotta think highly of my hair, others do!
 
Girl, I do that too lol. I need to stop. HECK! I remember a time when I considered shoulder length "long hair" lol. I'm apl now and I still don't think my hair is long enough. WOW! I need to accept compliments:grin:

I started the thread because the positive affirmations are making a great difference in my life. I thought I should apply it to my hair growth. I do have really nice hair. I just need to appreciate it more.
 
I usually don't wear my hair straightened so when i did a couple a weeks ago, one of my students told me my hair was long. I said thank you.
 
Funny....when I'm in the shower and I can see my hair on my breast I have this little mantra I say which is "what have I done what have I done" I don't even know why I started saying it.

But as best I can remember it was when my nape grew to like three inches of healthy hair and I didn't realize it until I got my first relaxer after 5 or so months. I just kept repeating as I looked at the hair "what have I done". To me it was unreal because I have never ever been able to grow the nape of my hair, let alone achieve 7 inches at the very very lowest part of my nape.

I guess it's just me recognizing that because of things I done differently that I've learned on this site I DID THIS. I caused my hair to become longer and healthier.

Nice...:grin:
 
I've found that if I talk about my goal as if I've already reached it, I tend to reach it faster. When you treat something as though it's at max potential, your behaviors change, making you reach the "finish line" more quickly.

Does that make sense? :look:

Example: I want to be smaller (weight). Therefore I act, talk and live like a 'small' person - Watch my portions, avoid gluttony, exercise often, have healthy practices overall. Before I know it, I *will* be smaller.

:)

So uh yeah, I agree witchu. :lachen:
