Can't wait for August vacay in NY.
I wont be flat-ironing until then. My female bff hasnt seen me since I was APL and I just hit MBL. She's been bragging about her growth from pregnancy & says it's below her shoulders.
I have to literally *swing* through & shut her down.
You know your sick when you're looking forward to shutting down your pregnant bff.

I'm coming out of lurking mode just to write this because these moments are what we live for on here.

Last summer I had just relaxed my hair in the early evening. I blow dried it straight myself. No flatironing though--I was being a good girl. But my hair was somehow amazingly--might i say freakishly-- straight, flowy, and bouncy like I had roller set it. As soon as I was done my mother dragged me to walmart with her to go late night snack shopping (not the place I want to show off my newly relaxed hair, but oh well). I told my mom, "Fine, but no dilly dallying. Let's get in and get out." So as we're walking in and I'm walking with a feverish purpose, and my hair takes on a life of it's own!!! I'm talking major swang and bounce. With every thump my foot makes on the linoleum my hair wooshes from side to side and up and down. It's literally waving to the people of WalMart. And it seems that every man within eye shot is ogling me and my hair.... and I'm so caught off guard. I had stretched for 12 weeks and had not worn my hair down in quite a while, so I felt kind of like I was walking around naked. It took me a second to realize what was calling their attention, but it was my hair sending out beams of shine, beauty, and seduction out to the WalMartians.

And this amazing feeling of happiness and calm came over me as I continued on my snack mission smiling quietly to myself.

The End.

Freakin hysterical!!!!!!!!!!
I pictured you by aisle 9, walking in slow motion LOL

[dlewis]

Last week was my first wash and go of the season. I was on day two of it and my boys begged me to go to their game. This guy I didn't know but I saw him at a function the week before tells Dh as I'm walking up with this gaint hair bouncying like crazy, "WHO IS THAT!" (DH tells me this later) When I made it to the end of the bleachers DH came down from the top bleachers to assist me up the bleachers to sit by him and says "Who??!! This lady is my wife". The guy later said I had the most amazing hair he had ever seen. DH said "oh, this is her around the house look. You should see it straight." That man, that man.

I was on the inside. DH had just told me that morning it was to big. I was thinking "GOOD!".

LOL. Your DH sounded very proud. Funny how he thought it was to big, but the SAME day, someone said it was amazing. Go D!

 

[dlewis]

He was. I'm always thinking about what he use to say "women with long hair look like witches". I think if I ever cut my hair without consulting him he would be upset.

OH I believe you, I think LHCF would be upset if you didn't consult them either.

This reminds me of how when I first started my journey I told DH I wanted to get to BSL. And he was like nono: that's too long. Last week I told him I changed my mind and want to get above my booty, so my booty can be looking good underneath it. And he was like sounds good to me.

 

[YaniraNaturally]

ITA!

Hi ladies, I normally stay in lurk mode but I'd just love to add my 2 cents to this wonderful thread. My hair is only past SL now because I BC'd last July but before my hair was always between MBL and WL -I never could grow it to WL but I'm hoping being natural will cure that- anyway, I've got mad stories about having long hair.

From the good -the crazy attention from men of all races, job offers, free stuff, being mistaken for a celebrity. To the dearer things like being compared to my beautiful Grandma who still has natural WL hair at 77.

The bad:crazy:- the insane stalkers from hell, the overly possessive bfs, the jealous gfs etc...

To the down right ugly -which usually involves another black woman, white women and on a few occasions as crazy as this may sound- gay men.

Here's just one of my many negative long hair experiences. I was on the underground going to college for exams one morning many years ago and out of the blue I was attacked by another black girl just because her bf was looking at my hair! I wasn't even really aware of either of them but I remember hearing a couple having a row about someone's hair being a weave. I was too busy revising for my exam to pay attention. The next thing I knew she just came up stood in front of my seat and grabbed my hair in her fist and called me a weave wearing wh*** . To really go OTT she hauled off and pimp slapped me!

What she didn't count on is :

1)that I was born and raise in the ATL until 16 and we don't play that.

2) I was very use to physically defending myself from haters and stalkers!

So she got a beat down that day and I arrived to sit my exams looking like a bloody crazy serial killer!They had to stop the train and some bystanders got roughed up...and to make matters worst it was embarrassing because as a black American in a white country(UK) I always like to represent us in the least negative stereotypical way possible but there I was fighting on the tube like a bloody TV ghetto queen! I hated her even more for dragging me down to her level.
The scariest part was that I almost got arrested because the tube police looked at both of us and blamed me because she was bleeding and I was pretty much unscratched... luckily for me that it was rush hour and there were a lot of witnesses that came to my defence.

Please believe that I'm not bashing having long hair because I've always loved my hair long and I can't wait to grow it back! I just want the OP to know that yes it is a great power having long hair but the flip side is that you once you have it you will need to be very aware and very careful of the negativity that it can attract. I never thought that I was all that because of my hair but others projected their insecurities as well as their desires on to me and it has cause me some problems and heartaches along the way. When your hair is really long watch how some of your friends will change on you.


Please forgive me if I'm putting a damper of your excitement because this is not my intention...I just wanted to add balance so you're not shocked after you achieve your LH goals. For me long hair is worth paying that price or I would've cut my hair years ago.

A thought just came to me that maybe this is why some religions have women cover their heads because long beautiful hair can really bring out evil thoughts and deeds in others ie lust and jealousy.

I've read the entire thread and this story has to be the craziest of them all! People really are out of control

 

[brittanynic16]

What a great thread. I can't believe I didn't read it sooner. I love my long hair. My SO tells the my hair is beautiful. I love the compliments. My favorite thing about my hair is that is blows in the wind and moves when I walk. I remember once I was leaving the club and this guy says to me "Look at you hair swingin and sh*t." Made my day.

That does sound good.

I wish I had some butt. Flat as a pancake, even flatter now. I'm working on building it, even if it's just a little.

I LOOOOVES IT!!! That's what he gets! I betcha he won't say it again! Go DLewis! Go DLewis!

He is something else. I'm thinking he made have some issues related to my recent changes. Now, he was the only who wanted me to wear a wash and go in the first place.erplexed

I'm on a personal challenge to wear my own hair instead of wigs... and I can see a big difference in people's reactions.

I went to traffic court today with a second day braidout. Since some parts were frizzy I just rolled the sides like 2 big flat twists on either side of my head, though it was all thick and curly, far from flat. Then I put it in a low pony in the back.

Even though I had my newborn with me I had 3 white dudes checking me out! One of whom was so tough I felt uncomfortable. Of course every black man in the place acted like I was invisible (fine w/me) but this really fits with the pattern I've noticed of white folks loving my natural hair. More importantly, I am loving it too!

eta: dlewis you are looking too cute anymore!!!! Fine as can be!!!

I say donate the wigs to a women's shelter. You used them to grow out your hair... it grew.. let 'em go LOL Plus your hair is way too pretty for you to be addicted to wigs.

 

[belldandy]

yes bell, a story please.



LOL. Your DH sounded very proud. Funny how he thought it was to big, but the SAME day, someone said it was amazing. Go D!

All I am gonna say is that yes, you boyfriend or husband CAN and MIGHT get jealous of your hair if it gets too long! Why are men like this???

That's a good idea... but I wonder if they'll take used wigs? Most of mine are very lightly used. If anyone knows a newbie who wants my old wigs... let me know. If they are here I'm tempted to wear them. I need to go cold turkey!

And thank you for the compliment! :blush3:

That so sounds like what some dude up in the club would say, I can visualize it and everything.

Today was really windy and my braid out was blowing every where. DH was really checking me out.

I can only imagine it being past SL. Right now my braid outs shrink to my lower neck.

You definitely don't need a wig. Beautiful hair. You need to go ahead and enjoy it. And you better stop tempting them white boys.

And I agree on D, she hurting em.

Now I know you ain't bring your almost WL self in here, and still didn't share a story.

 

[belldandy]

Now I know you ain't bring your almost WL self in here, and still didn't share a story.

LOL, okay exoticmommie I will share. I love my "bedroom hair" when it gets all wavy and wild

My other thing is i love when I am swimming and my hair is still dry, and i go under the water and come up and my hair is wet and its trailing behind me! My hair is so much longer when it is wet! It basically IS wl in the shower (the longest layer) so that is great if I am in there with someone lol...

 

[Angelicus]

Hello. My hair has been various lengths since I've been a member here. Here are snippets of my hair life:

When I swim my hair tickles my armpits. I have to wear a ponytail in the pool. I'm always the only black person swimming because I am not afraid to get my hair wet.

Even though I don't have long hair anymore, men and women still follow me around at stores to "investigate." I like to run my fingers through my hair when I see a man that I like.

Every man I've dated loves seeing my hair fly in the wind. The bad thing is that they want to play in it during painting/coloring sessions.

"You have hair like a baby doll"
"Can I touch your hair? *insert Homer Simpson Drool*"
"Your hair looks great. I have to have you now!"

BTW, I've learned the hard way not to wear my hair down near drunk people

The thought of people following you around the store investigating is hilarious.

How can you usually tell, let us know what to expect and give some tips.

I also LOL'd at long hair making men loose they mind.

But if you don't mind, can you tell about the drunk people. Some ladies may also need some tips on that as well.
