Long hair ladies, can I live vicariously through you?

I honestly don't know how long my hair is, I'm a natural and don't straighten and now am generally trying to stay away from heat after I blowdried w a comb attachment and started noticing a lot of split ends the next day :nono: I guess my hair is too fine for heat..or I should probably prep it better :look: I THINK I'm some inches from Arm Pit length. ANYWHO, I can't wait to be out with my boyfriend somewhere , with my hair all up in a bun and have to *suddenly* do a bun drop for some strange reason.Headache from the weight of all that hair perhaps :look: Lol let the side eyes and shocked looks flow :lachen:
 
I wish I had a story but my hair isn't long yet. Ppl notice that its growing tho. That hushes up the naysayers (mom) about lhcf techniques like weekly washes and cowashes. "Using conditioner without shampooing first dries your hair out" haha thats funny.

Swype thinks weird and wierd are both correct
 
Hi, I'm new here!:hiya2: Or at least, new to posting.
My hair is creeping towards APL, but I've had to trim back several times due to split ends. It's frustrating because I know that moisturizing and sealing will likely do wonders, but when I try using any kind of oil, even a small amount, it just sits and feels greasy, while my hair still feels dry underneath.

Try using grape seed oil. Its light so it won't weigh your strands down. It also leaves hair soft and shiny.

I totally agree, grapeseed oil is awesome!!I'm a natural and I just recently started using this and I LOVE it!!It defines my curls really well, and when I did an oil bath (than I foolishly left in , should have rinsed it out, my hair was dripping oil all on my face and neck :lol:) my hair was SO SHINY!!I don't have many staples, but grapeseed definately is one now.
 
Hello Ladies! Finally I have a story to contribute. This morning I go to breakfast with a (caucasian) business prospect with my newly relaxed hair down. As we begin to discuss topics regarding business she says to me, "oh be careful I believe your hair just fell onto your pancakes!" I look down, thank her & say "glad I didn't get any syrup in it." I flip hair behind my shoulder and begin to continue on with our original conversation. She then interrupts me to say, " by the way your hair is beautiful." I say "thanks it's been a process, I'm trying to grow it out to waist length." She says, "wow, is ALL that your hair?!" I tell her yes. She says "I can't believe it's all yours...you always wear it pinned up!" I tell her "yes it's easiest that way on most days & keeps my hair out of the way." She showers me with a few extra compliments & the conversation ends. Internally I'm beaming and smiling, but I play it smooth. Moral of this story: never did I imagine the one problem with long hair would be the need to wear it pulled back while leaning over the table & eating food. :) MBL life is good!

:dance7: Very exciting, Congrats!! I can't wait to join the MBL club soon lol :yep:
 
My hairs not "long" but since its gotten longer when I'm getting out the shower the water doesn't slid down my back any more. It drips right to my booty lmao. I was like wow that's new :)
 
One thing that's cool about growing out my hair is that I need to make adjustments to accommodate the new length. I had to buy bigger processing caps last week for my DC. I also have to ask certain sellers on Etsy on eBay if their hair toys can accommodate long/thick hair. It's also fun to be all :ohwell: when people with hair that's shorter and not as healthy as mine try to give me advice. :lol: In all fairness, most people don't know how long my hair actually is or that it's pretty healthy because I'm an obsessive bunner.

This always makes me go "what the heck" in my head...
 
If y'all are thinking what im thinking about what i think you're thinking....then i can't wit y'all! :lol:

Okay, so...u know you are used to having long hair when u don't know the difference between cheap and quality weave. Or when your friend has to educate you on the color numbers. I felt bad bc i didn't mean to come across arrogant to her bc i never wear weave, but i was like, "im sorry, but i don't know what '30' means"...so i learned that its a very light sandy brown color.
 
But aren't we supposed to be living vicariously through LONG HAIRED LADIES in this thread?!

Anywho! SmilingElephant I read you rocked braidouts when you were relaxed& WL. I started to do it & my hair has turned around. We love braidouts! Thank you!
 
Another thing: Now I assume that when someone has long hair it's actually their hair and not a weave. If it looks cheap than I realize that it's not, but most of the time I honestly think that it's their hair!

What did I miss? I don't get it. Sigh... My phone sucks. I'm probably not seeing a pic or something.

I put it to you this way, one recent post is not like the others. One of these posts just isn't the same.

So weird you guys mention that because I know more about weaves and wigs now that I have longer hair and I don't wear them. I mean I can't match numbers with colours really, I only know what 1B is lol but I knew nothing about wigs and weaves when my hair was chin length and above. Also before, I assumed everyone's hair was real, there was a time I was convinced Beyonce's hair was all hers. :lachen: Now I'm highly skeptical and can usually spot a weave or wig.

Aww you're welcome! Yes ma'am i was always doing braid outs. I also would put the silk rollers on my ends at night to get a curly braidout.

Im glad its working for you!:)
 
About long hair fantasies, Yesterday, I was considering having classic length hair. And I imagined I was in church and my hair stick slipped out, and all this gorgeous classic length shinny thick luscious hair came unravelling everywhere. And all the congregation behind me was like :O!!!!!! LOL I have issues.
