Long hair ladies, can I live vicariously through you?

[Janet']

I love checking in periodically soaking up all of you lovely ladies vibes...One day soon!!!

 

[brg240]

so I was trying on hats in the thrift store on saturday (don't worry I had a scarf on so the hat didn't touch my head) and my hair was up in a bun. well the the bun and the hat weren't working so I took it down. Well later after shopping for a while I decided I wasn't going to get the hat and put it back. When I was walking back to my stuff this lady asked was I getting the hat and I was like no and grabbed it for her. Then she was like when I saw your hair my mouth dropped open, I was in shock. You have so much beautiful long hair.' She was so nice and she thought my hair was natural and told me not go cut it.

For my birthday...I got all dolled up and straightened my hair. My new man said your hair is so long and you look pretty.That made this healthy hair journey so worth it.I never thought I would hear someone say that to me in this lifetime...thankx lhcf

p.s. my friends said damn too...too bad I CHOPPED BACK TO SL...

 

[VirtuousBeauty]

[fitnessmommy]

BUMP! I need some inspiration....

 

[Janet']

Come on long hair mommies...Talk to us!!!

Do you find the longer that your hair gets, the EASIER or HARDER it is to care for? Some ppl think that it should get easier but others have argued that it's harder...What do YOU say?

 

[NaturalBeauty<3]

BUMP BUMP.

So my hair is bra-strap length. I hadn't straightened in a while, but I needed a little pick me up so i thought, "imma work it today".

Straightened, got all cute, heels, makeup n all....and enjoyed being The Bomb. Everybody was gettin it that day.
*Someone talks to natural beauty*
NB: "What'd you say?" *Snaps head, swinging hair unnecessarily, looks concerned*
*thirsty dude tells Natural beauty a terrible, completely humorless joke*
NB: BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Throws head back, allowing it to cascade down her back, dude drools *
*someone tells natural beauty a sad story*
Natural beauty: Oh Im so sorry that happened. *insert sad face, put head down, allows hair to cover chest. Natural beauty silently checks perfect ends*

Man o man. I walked around feelin myself ALLLL DAY..And of course the countless women who straight up side-eyed me. They felt me too...lol.

Its gonna be a sad sad day when I make MBL... lmao.

My hair is BSL and I feel like it is long, but my final goal is only a healthy blunt cut MBL to WL. Considering that I'm 5'1", my goals don't have as many inches between them.

I was so obsessed with weaves that no one except my weavologist had seen my hair in years. One day last year, I don't know what came over me but I called my sis and had her cut the weave out of my head. I had been texlaxed the entire time so I finally got a relaxer and rocked my hair in a Dominican blowout.

I honestly have never felt more beautiful! And it came at the best time b/c I've gained a bit of weight that I can't seem to get off and it gave me the boost of self esteem that I need. I get so many compliments! (And haters too especially in church of all places, but I don't mind.) My family begs me not to put the weave back in. And my poor SO didn't see my hair for the first year and a half we were together. When I originally told him that I was going to take my weave out, he told me not too. I guess he was scared of the outcome, lol. But when he saw my real hair, I honestly feel like he fell more in love with me. Men are so vain. But he has always been uber affectionate and talked about marriage, kids, etc, but since he's seen my hair, he is like way more serious about it now, actually talking about planning, finances, etc. Even the way he literally looks at me is different. That just put the icing on the cake for me.

However since I'm not to my goal yet, I PS for two months with braidouts and blowouts, and rollersets so that I can be admired by my SO and everyone else. Then for two months, I get it braided in a beehive and rock wigs. I can't wait until I reach my final goal so that I can PS for most of the year and get admired all the time!

...Now if I can just lose 15 lbs. Nobody would be able to tell me nothing either!

[NaturalBeauty<3]

Oooo Man I got another one.
So me and a long-term boyfriend broke up after...4 years. I was heartbroken. Over a span of a year, I didn't talk to him...see him...hear from him (other than the mandatory Happy Birthday text). I moped for the first few months, and the new love of my life became LHCF. I was sl, and *subconsciously* I always heard him over the time that we were together begging me to stop cutting my hair. I was in love with bobs and scissors. So I began bunning/cowashing...stopped straightening so often...and even dabbled in dating again. I swore that whenever he saw me again he was gonna wish he hadn't.

Fastforward to August of this year. I got a random text (in the middle of dcing, lol) from him. Ignored. The next day (deep coned over night) He called. I took a deep breath and answered. He was sorry. He missed me. He wanted to see me. In my head I heard Cha-ching! GOT YO A! LMBO! I hadn't straightened my hair since about May, and when I washed out my dc, blowdried n straightened...i was between APL and BSL. I stared at myself in the mirror...smirking as I put on my makeup. When he pulled up outside, i stepped outside n my heels, cute summer dress, n long, flowing hair. He hadn't seen me since my necklength bob. He was speechless. Terrified to hug me. My thoughts? Eat your heart out, Sweetheart. I walked up to him and gave him a long hug, and he leaned down and put his face in my hair.

I'm pretty sure he didn't call me my name all night. I answered to beautiful, gorgeous, and sweetheart.
O, btw. We are now working on year 5.

Side Note- Thanking ExoticMommie for this THREAD!!!!!! It honestly keeps me going when I get discouraged. Thanks LOVE!

pssshhhh...5 years who?

ETA: You're lookin reaaaaaaaaaal APL, girlie

 

[LadyPaniolo]

I flat ironed this week for a length check. Though my hair anorexia has me feeling like I have a TWA, I can see from the reactions I get (esp from men ) that my hair is pretty long and special. Nothing beats seeing a man get stars in his eyes when the wind blows through your hair!

 

[PureSilver]

Girl i used to work it when my hair was APL...before LHCF...i used to go to the salon and get these curls all over the top of my head....and they were burgundy...i love color rinses...and walk through the mall like a model...you know how they step hard enough to make everything bounce?

Heads would turn HARD!!...I shoulda passed out neckbraces as i walked by!

Girl ur stories are so funnyi've seen this thread on more than one occasions and i just flip pass it and to think today wa one of my worst days at the office but y'all sure made me LOL in the office. You make me wanna have long hair so bad i'm swing my weave as if it's mine, lol can't help it a sista gotta dream big!
