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:

gurrrrlll:clap::clap::clap:that was beautiful! It's the "Pheonominal Woman" for LHCF:lachen:!
 
the bf wants something to play with :drunk::lick: lol

JK, well that plus I hate that awkward length I have between shoulder and APL that leaves some of my hair brushing on my shoulder, and when I tilt my head up my hair still sticks out. I need the thickness and length to just let the stuff hang and go. But yea, the bf really does want more hair :look:
 
I don't even know anymore...seems like my hair and I have gotten so far off track...the thought of popping one more vite makes me want to gag!...Honestly, I can't even tell that's growing anymore. :ohwell:

I guess you can tell that I voted I don't know...I really don't. At this point, I may not be trying to grow it long...just trying to keep it from leaving me.
 
I didn't join this Forum to grow my hair long. I found it looking for answers to my severe breakage and shedding. My hair was a hot mess!!! :nono: I am here to grow a healthy, shiny head of hair. That's all I want. I have a feeling if I get to BSL, I would want to cut it. I think it would get on my nerves. But, we'll see. Maybe I'll love it.
 
to me its a challenge (& choice): i can easily say: do i wanna wear long sleeves or short sleeves: do i wanna grow my nails long or clip them short....
....as for my hair: i want having my hair short or long a choice: not because i can't have long hair
 
I'm growing my hair out long so that I can have that long pony tail...and it's a challenge also to see just how long it will grow.
 
1. It's what I'm used to. I don't know anything else. I've always had a decent length of hair, even as a child.
2. Variety. There is so much more that you can do with long hair. Although, I would cut my hair in the Rihanna style in a second, if I had the nerve. :spinning:
 
The challenge. My hair has never had hair longer than APL and I don't want to depend on weave anymore for length. I would prefer to have them for versatility. LHCF has given me the confidence to wear a wig because people just don't know what's cooking under that joint. Some long, thick slap your momma new growth. :yep:
 
Sometimes I wonder the same thing. I've been on the long hair journey for a long time and I've never reached my goal because I can't stand not having a fresh-cut look for too long. Like now, my hair is slightly past SL and I am itching to cut it back to my siggy's length soooo bad. With a fresh cut, my hair looks nice, it's easy to style, and it retains styles better. As it grows out, it loses shape and is harder to maintain. I want to cut it, but I'm trying to see what will happen if I don't.
 
i always took it for granted cause i always had at least bsl, easily. i'd cut it, trimit, burn it to death, relax it, abuse it, neglect it and it kept growing, sometimes i don't know how :spinning: - mindboggling!

my personal challenge was to stop perming (done) but i miss what i had after bcing - i knew i would :grin:. so now i want to grow it all back to the length it was before i started my natural journey (with God's help) - Completing the "circle" so to speak.
 
I love long hair because I am a sucker for hair do-dads. For years I was strictly a bob gal but a year ago I found the best short wig EVA so I can go short whenever I want now without the commitment!!

And I love a jaw-dropping ponytail :o)
 
I love my hair long and I think it suits me. Plus I love the versatility of long hair: I can wear it up, down, curly, straight, big, sleek- anything I can imagine, I can do.
 
I love long hair and I've always have. I'm growing long hair because it looks best on me plus I think it is sexy and feminine.
 
Until now I've never had hair below SL and now that I know it's possible, I wanna have long hair to prove to myself and others that black women can have long and beautiful hair. I'm tired of being a slave to wigs and weaves, I want it to be aaaall mine :yep:
 
I had long hair, then BC'd it cuz of a texturiser diaster and now I'm growing it back to its original length, or maybe even past ? :grin:
I think i look better with long hair as opposed to short
 
I already look too much like my brother, I think long hair looks better on me.
I look so much like him that one day my sister in law actually said she wanted to choke me, just because I looked like him:lachen: she was mad at him for something!!
 
My attitude has kind of progressed from just wanting healthy hair (cause it was such a wreck when I started), to realizing it could really be healthy and grow, then it became a challenge, but after being on the board for a while and watching my own hair grow, I realized I really do love long hair!
