Hey Daviine! Merry Christmas to you and your little one! I know, we were all slack with the calling. The last thing I remember was talking to your crazy self on the phone and you needing to pick up the cat before the pet store closed! LOL!

Anyway, I will be chatting with you soon, since I just got a new computer for my b-day! YAY!

[leejure]

Thanks Diva! I actually had a lot of fun growing it out! You ladies have made the process quite enjoyable!

Women standing behind you (outside your view), stare at your part trying to determine if you've got a weave...then make nasty faces when they realize you don't.

(This actually happened when I was out at the mall with my mom on Xmas eve. I didn't see this, but my mom told me about the stares I was getting from three black women standing behind me in line and the "hair part stare" I got from one particular woman.)

I had to laugh, why didn't they compliment you of having beautiful hair. Instead of getting angry.

 

[BlkMane]

My feelings exactly...I think that some women just aren't used to complimenting other women.

I have no problem doing that and after doing it, I've often been told that I've "made their day." Brings a smile to their face AND mine. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Someone told me that my hair was their goal length. I had never heard that before. I also have problems with it getting caught in the seat belt and the strap of my purse.

When your hair sticks on your lipgloss whilst walking down the street.

When your eating and it takes longer because the hair is finding its way in your mouth also.

 

[serena]

...you can make a bun without using any pins/clips/accessories to secure it;

...you can part your hair in the middle, draw both sections under your neck, and secure them together without feeling like you're trying to strangle yourself.

 

[Tracy]

When you have to pull your hair back before you get your legs stretched because your hair impedes the whole process....

My hair is not long enough to put in a bun plus I don't understand the bun concept. I get it wrapped at the salon and wear it straight for 3 weeks and curled for 2 weeks.

Bett1e, for your signature, the tag is not [image].
Speaking of tags, I need to update mine. My hair is indeed getting longer; I'll know it's the length I want when I start losing a lot of it in the shower without going bald. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/crazy.gif /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

---When you can actually twist or braid your ponytail and wear it down and it looks long and cute instead of short and stumpy!!!

---When you can style your hair in two low ponytails like a schoolgirl and you actually have hair hanging down your back for the first time in your whole life!!!

(As you can tell, having long hair makes me positively giddy!!!) /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

---When your stylist comments on your hair growth and asks what you've been doing different.

---When you suddenly aren't having many bad hair days anymore!!! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Leshia]

Ahhh, Adrienne, you had to go and get "deep" with that one! I hear ya girl. My hair isn't as long as yours but certain woman suddenly pay me a world of attention when I don't have my two buns in.....so sad, but true..

 

[Allandra]

When you take your hair out of it's usual style (THE BUN), and the people that see you Monday through Friday are speechless.

 

[Laela]

Adrienne,

THAT WAS A GOOD ONE!!!

 

[Guest]

Nubian Queen, Your own Mom???

 

[UmSumayyah]

--when you realize you are about 1/2 inch away from having to worry about friction loss from your shirts!

 

[honey_jammz82]

You are layin on top of your man

, and your hair keeps hittin him in the face...ewwww, I love it

 

[Integrity]

when a certain envious somebody cant seem to stand your beautiful, growing locs and asks when on earth you are gonna put the hair in braids

(i love my own hair girl so i wont)

they also ask you if you had cut it each and every time they see you (well, its in a braid out so you cant see the length)

 

[SherryLove]

I'll have to go with:

When sisters constantly stare (some with eye rolls) at the back and sides of my hair to see if it is real.......

More brothers are smiling at me and admiring my hair.......

My grandma (who has waist length hair) said, "Girrrl, your hair catching up to mine."

When after combing your hair you think you see a ball of hair in the comb meaning alot of shedding, but its actually just a few long strands tangled together.

 

[ThursdayGirl]

Pandora,

This happened to me too.

At first I got all nervous but then I started pulling the hairs apart and realized they were a few long strands.

My family, in particular my somewhat jealous aunt said the following to me the other day: "When you gone do something to yo hair? You know you need to get that STUFF cut."

I am probadly one of those sisters staring. I love to see healthy hair. So I often notice when a sister has hair on point.

When a FRIEND thinks she is dissing you by saying...

"You need to cut your hair! It's just too "long" and "there", you ain't doing anything with it. If my hair was that long, I would..."
