My biggest goal isn't long hair necessarily but to learn how to keep my hair healthy and happy without having to pay someone else to do it.

Even if I don't make BSL or SL even as long as I've learned and met those goals I think I will be happy.

That's not to say I don't like how I look with long hair because I do. I'm also really excited to learn how to style my own hair finally.

Me too :yep:

Also because I never knew I could have long hair, I have always been one of those people that would want long hair (I begged my mum at 13 for a weave, she told me categorically NO!!!!) but never guessed i could have it, I still look at my hair with disbelieve every day. Can't wait for BSL.
 
For the challenge because people at my job and some of my family members don't beileve that I can grow my hair that long... and I wanna prove them wrong.:grin:
 
The challenge! My hair has never been long. It's always been shoulder length so I'm determined to grow it long, past MBL. And I just love long hair! :grin:
 
My reason for growing long hair is because it deviates me from other people, plus I got tired of having damaged hair. A lot of people that I am around have short hairstyles, wear wigs and weaves, or have damaged hair altogether. I wanted to look different.

ITA. I love that I do my own hair and it looks good and not only that it's in good shape.:grin: And I like the challenge. When I decided to go natural it taught me patience and to love the NG that I would normally be dying to relax.

quote=Swanky;2959397]Why I'm growing my hair long you ask?
Because I owe it to myself...
Long hair can be wild and yet sexy all at the same time
It beckons!
It bounces!
It turns heads
Express/Rapid styling!
Flip it, Twirl it
View it close up without a mirror
Smell its fragrance after it's washed and dried
Pull it up and away from face and/or neck for varying styles or
Just let it 'swang' low!
Answer the Is that a Wig or Weave question? And the answer is..
Blowing in the wind
Bury bad hair days
A woman's hair is her beauty
It's my birthright
It's so Me!
and ultimately,
It's one of the thnigs God meant for me
So, can you tell I love growing hair long??? :lick:

ITA. My sentiments exactly.
 
I love long hair. Didn't realize that until I didn't have it anymore. It was long but not healthy and shiny -very important. I want healthy happy swinging hair. Since my coloring disaster I've depended on extensions to get my previous lengths. Now I'll be back to me, a new improved me. I love LHCF.:yep:
 
I simply like long hair and believe it looks good on me. I also haven't had waist length hair since I was 13. Just want to see if I can do it. Actually, I know I can.

You should frame this ..loving it:grin::grin:
 
I am growing it long because I have had short hair since 2003 not because of damage but because that was my first time going Natural and every since then I have gone back & forth, So this time around I am gonna let it grow on out and enjoy Life and not worry too much about my hair!
 
I have wanted long hair since I was a little girl. Both of my sisters had long hair and I mean long hair (almost waist length). My hair never reached shoulder length as a child. I never understood why my hair was so short compared to my sisters. My oldest sister just started using my Gro-Aut Hair oil this past weekend because her hair has broken off really bad and is severly damaged. I took a before pic of her on Saturday and am anxiously waiting to see her results. My other sister passed away in '96 but I'm sure she is looking down on me saying "You go girl".
 
I just like the versitility of long hair and the different styles that I can do.
I love big body curls on long hair and its my fav style. I got tired of wearing uncomfortable weaves and decided I wanted to acheive it with my own hair

Same with my sisters. They have extremely long curly/wavy hair while I have a 4b and it isn't nearly as long as theirs. When I was younger, I didn't understood, why my hair was a "different" texture or length.
 
Honestly, it’s for da boys!!! The longest my hair has been was SL throughout high school. Since then I have been in bobs, weaves, sew-ins & braids here in there. I never had a thing for long hair, just noticed how much guys have a fetish for it. Every time I will get a cut my ex would be like :orders: “WHY’D U CUT YOUR HAIR”
 
I'm growing my hair for several reasons. One, to prove to me and others that black women can have long, beautiful, healthly hair without extentions (not that anything is wrong with extentions). Second, for the challenge. I've had long hair before, now that I've had short hair for about 16 years, I want to see how long I can grow it.
 
Why am I growing my hair out? Greed. I just want more hair!

I think long hair is beautiful and affords me a lot of styling options.
 
I used to have long hair as a child till I messed it all up :wallbash: Basically, I want to see if I have the discipline to grow and maintain a healthy head of hair. If I can do this, then the length will come...and I LOVE me some long hair :grin:
 
I trying to grow my hair simply because I have never had hair longer than my the bottom of my neck for all of my life :nono:

So I want to see if my hair can really grow longer than it has ever been. I doubt I will ever have long hair since it has been this short all my life :nono: but maybe it can grow longer, at least to CL.

I would like more but I am severely hopeless about it :nono:

Aww, don't be so discouraged! My hair was above my shoulder all my life until HS. You'll be surprised at the big difference little changes can make.

I wish you luck on your journey and I'm sure you'll reach your goals :yep:!
