I was * droolin* it was so pretty, but then again Ive seen some pretty updos on older ladies also. ( very elegant!!)

When I reach my goal length in the next couple of months, I'm gonna claim it and then I'm gonna cut it to WL and keep it there for a year or so. It's getting so hard to care for my hair with an infant, that cutting it a bit shorter will make life a lot easier. The other thing is that I want to have blunt ends, so cutting it to WL will make it easier for me. I will say one thing, I hate the thought of parting with my ends as I have not had a trim since Dec'07. I've grown attached to them even though they are starting to look a little sad.
Then I'll probably just grow it back to HL and stay there for a while.

I will keep trimming to WL.......I have to admit that BSL style is very easy to keep, manage, but I can see as my hair grows longer it is becoming more of a challenge to relax, and is more of a challenge on the rare times that I want to keep it straight. I think WL will be just managable enough to wear it out every 3 or 4 months or so, and pin it right back up into a heavy bun...

My first goal length was to get to APL and then relax. I got to APL, didn't relax and set a new goal of BSL. Im almost full BSL but not quite there...have no clue what I'll do when I get there...part of me wants to chop it back off and start over...I miss the journey and the cool lengths in between but my boyfriend probably would be like 
he likes my hair and was the first thing he ever complimented me on

:crystalba The Jedi mind trick worked
I don't think I'll ever cut my hair short again, unless I get sick :crossfingers: or my hair gets really thin after menopause.
This did not happen to my mother, or my grandmother, or any of my aunts... so I am thinking that I am going to have thick hair forever. When my hair grows to its goal of MBL or longer (stretched) then I will leave it alone.

I don't ever plan on cutting my hair shorter than it's max - I'm just barely creeping up on APL now in the back, and it still seems INCREDIBLY short to me. If I can get hip length, unstretched, I'll maintain it there - I might consider locking again as I get up in age, but otherwise? Nah, son, not cutting none of this here off!

The longest I can recall my hair being was the length it was right before my BC. Basically, I have had short hair (the base of my neck) all my life. If I get past shoulders, I am never cutting my hair. For now, my goal is anywhere past shoulders. I have trouble believing I can get there!
Am I the only one?

My hair has always been shoulder length or a little longer. I plan to grow to at least WL while I'm still relaxed. I intend to transition as soon as I start a family- esp. if I will be having a little girl. I'm not sure if I'll BC- I think I could rock an Amber Rose look and eventually some of Rihanna's funky do's but I don't know how the other tall girls feel but it seems like it takes me a lot longer to reach my hair goals at 5'11" so I don't know if I could cut off all this hard work like that. I think I'll reserve wigs for trendy styles and eventually I want long silver dreds that I intend to never cut.
[/quote]So funny you posted this pic, these are my cousins on my mom's side. Sadie and Bessy Delaney. They look just like my grandfather. I hope I live to be that old. My grandfather will be 90 next month and he's doing great.
Awww that's so cool you're related to them...I read their book..I love them!
I agree...I think tons of people are sweating WL just to see if it's possible, then may move on to different things with their hair... an 85 yr old lady with WL hair is NOT hot in my humble opinion.

my hair goals constantly change. When I started LHCF in June I strived to go from Ear length to APL which I just about did. Then I decided to transition into natural which I am presently doing. Once I achieve my goals...I just start new ones.

That's so funny, but I do get the mental picture.
I've seen some ladies in forums who were 60+ with classic length silver hair, and it was gorgeous worn up or down.

No, not for me. I think trendy stuff like that is for young girls. Not to mention styles like that are dated. It's cute for 6 or 8 months, then it's like now what?
