ITA. That may not be WHO they are but they'll typically look/or be stereotyped into one of these categories. Not that I don't want long hair for myself.
Do you think East Indian women with wl hair look like strippers?
Oh and I love Loveya's hair and she doesn't look like a stripper, librarian, or Bohemian to me. But hey, who cares what I or someone else thinks anyway?
.
Yeah, I thought most people were looking at in a black/white issue. I've never heard anyone on my campus say, "That Indian girl looks like a stripper with all that hair." But I guess some people identify white or black women or maybe women with long hair period as being strippers. Just guessing. I never thought of it that way but
No, I'm not shocked by folks wanting to see how far they can grow. I'm actually surprised that so many are willing to put limits BEFORE they even get there!
To each her own. I don't think folks can know for sure how they will really look or how much time will be required until they're there and I'm not limiting myself yet. When it gets too much, I'll know. And the solution is so simple, it's a no brainer . . .ummm, I'll just cut it. For a fact, the longer my hair gets, the less time and energy I spend on it, the longer and healther it gets. Me happy and me want to see how long me can grow this here hair.
Everyone has own style and while may not be appealing to me, it's their style and while I may think is too much to handle, too long, too plain, to striper-ish, too librarian-ish, bohemian, boring or whatever, girlfriend rocking her hair and enjoying her own unique style.Shoot, it's her hair, her time, her energy, her choice. Obviously.
and I think you are right Why are we putting limits on how far we could grow our hair? I'm not even full BSL yet. Most black women don't even realise they can grow hair down their backs with the right care. I think I'll adopt that attitude, if it gets too much for me to handle, or I think I prefer it a shorter length over a longer length, I'll cut it. It can't hurt anyway. Ultimately, we can do whatever we want...it's our hair.

Camellia, Lala, Lucia, Irresistible, VintageColiyLocks, Zanna and others do, too. So, make sure that you check them out, also.
Obviously, what may seem "stripper-ish", bohemian, etc. is relative. I could go and find 20 fotkis and you would probably say they all look like one of the three stereotypes you have.
Maybe it's not a good analogy: But if I show a racist white person pictures of beautiful black women, they will always find something wrong with them to prove their point or subconciously hold on to their way of thinking. They are biased so what point would it make?
I don't mind looking bohemian, so I guess it depends on if you view bohemian to be negative or positive.
Even in the corporate world, buns are acceptable. Just responding to your comment but in the end, do what is best for you. I will in no way try to make you seem odd, unrealistic be startled by the fact that you are happy with whatever hair length you choose. It's your hair, why would I care?
I agree with you and besides I don't mind looking bohemian at all
erplexed. 
Where have you been? Just check the past few features of the month...
Most people don't look right with hair down to their butt.
