reasons for growing your hair longer

[prettygirl]

What is your reason?

 

[melodee]

My hair seemed to be stuck at a certain length. I want to prove to myslf and others that I can grow my hair past that length without being pregnant, as I was when I had bra length hair the last time. I've already gotten out of my rut, now I'm motivated to grow more hair.

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

I just want to see how far I can grow it. And my husband, even though he doesn't want to admit it, likes it longer. Just imagine him running his fingers through my long flowing hair!Lol

Overall I just want to prove to him and others than I can grow it long!

 

[soslychic]

Because I like the look better. Plain and simple

 

[Cres81]

I like the look and I want to see if I can do it.

Same here. And now that I don't relax my hair anymore, shrinkage has become a major factor. Neck length straight hair = a 2" afro now.

I need all the length I can get!

ditto to all of these.....especially number 3...long hair = low maintenance
low maintenance =

 

[classycrimson]

It's such an accomplishment....when my hair gets long, it's because of constant care and pampering.....kinda like a reward for being so diligent. Plus i like the way it feels when it flips

 

[Karonica]

Versatility.

 

[nekee]

1- i want to see how long it can get
2- made a bet that i can get it to a certain length by a certain time
3- my bf is used to dating white girls with waist length hair

My first priority was ringlets, then length. I wanted to get the ringlets that I was imitating with the S-curl braided extensions. This happens when I dry the hair in a wet bun after a CO wash in the shower. Motivation: it looks better on me than a straight style. I'm not straightening to measure length, but I'll check it next touchup.

* because i look better with long hair
* to show naysayers natural hair can be long and healthy
* i love that big lioness look(think Lisa Nicole Carson, or Scary Spice, or the model in my sig)

 

[Zgirl]

my reasons are:

1. I have never had long hair, so I want to see how it feels, and prove that african americans can have long hair
2. I like the look of long hair
3. low maintenance
4. you can be more creative w/long hair, especially natural long hair

 

[serena]

Because long hair looks soooo good, and FEELS so good against my skin.

 

[AmilLion]

1. To see how long I can actually grow my hair
2. To achieve certain hair styles without hair extension.

 

[ballet_bun]

1. I think that i look sexy with long hair.
2. Versatility!!!
3. Kind if hard to get short hair in a bun ,,, which is a must for what I do.
4. I love playing with it!!!

Well every summer I take on a new "project". Last summer it was repairing my credit that I jacked up in college and I accomplished that because I just purchased an '03 Yukon for 0.9% This summer my project is hair repair! Hopefully I will have 12 more inches by next summer.

[jellynote]

I like long hair and it is beautiful on me.
So many people don't think women of color can have long hair w/o getting a weave, so I also want to proven those no believers that I know that we can have long hair too.

Hi all, I'm new to the site and lovin' it!

My main reason is that when I first relaxed my hair (aged12, now I'm 19), it was all the way down to the middle of my back. However, when your that age you don't really apprieciate it as much and after years of scissor happy stylists, colours, 'styling torture' and experimentation it's just past my shoulders and I know it can get further like before, I just have to work at it and this site has given me the encouragment!
