I got my hair stuck in the car door the other day. That sucked. I have to pull my hair over my shoulder when I go to the bathroom cuz I dont like it to touch the seat lid. EVERYONE thinks my hair is a weave. My moms coworkers asked her what type of weave I use lol she was like its real. I have the longest hair in my family, including my white side. Ive always had short hair, like I was literally bald till I was 3, and every time someone sees me from my childhood they can't believe my hair is this long. Most of the time I can't believe it lol.

On another note, I always dream about the day when the wind will blow my hair all over the place while I am walking downtown (or any other busy public place).

I shut my hair in the car door weekly. I get scared I'm messing up one side of my hair. It hurts too.

Trying to grow from APL to BSL was so challenging for me, but laziness - I mean low manipulation seems to have finally done the trick. I rarely use any kind of heat so I didn't really notice the growth until my sister pulled one of my twists out and did a length check and it was about an inch PAST BSL! 
I still can't quite believe it
I have a little story... when my hair was between APL and BSL, a friend came over to visit, and when she was like "lemme see your products, what's your secret?" I wasn't feeling too great about my hair, so that was nice to hear

One of my co-workers brought her baby daughter in to work today. The older daughter has WL hair and people started talking about it because the baby also has "good hair" too. Anyway, my intern glared at me expecting me to say something about my hair being just as long, but I just innocently ate my cake and listened to the conversation. It was a fun feeling. Almost smug in a way. Hehe!!
Also, it's fun to be known as a hair guru. Someone asked me for advice about oils and I was all:
I really love that my hair is long and healthy enough for people to come to me for advice. It's flattering. It's kind of changed my mind a little about wearing my hair out. I'm still not ready, but when it gets warmer I'm going to try. I just love the idea of proving that you don't have to be "mixed" to grow hair to your waist.
Oh, and it's also fun to have to stand far away from the mirror to do a length check because you need to see your whole torso.

So, i got my hair straightened last week. Everybody at work went gaga over it lol! I felt like a supermodel walking in the office.
Everybody wanted to play in it and touch it. Ppl sneak touches lol.
Even the lady at the salon i went to (Dominican) the stylist was like "wow! Your hair is very long!" after she finished styling it.
I enjoyed standing at the bus stop letting the wind blow through my hair, cars slowing down, beeping their horns at me
usually it creeps me out but this time i enjoyed it.
All this kinda helps my hairnorexia go away.
Little does everyone know, i want it longer.

how long does your hair have to be to post a story in this thread? hopefully i can post a story in this thread by the end of the summer. i saw three women yesterday with BSL hair. i rarely see that around these parts. only one of them i kept staring at. her hair was nicely styled and thick. it looked like her hair was blown out.

I think I'm at the point where I can contribute to this thread, since I'm starting to experience a lot of the things that you ladies are talking about, especially my hair starting to get caught in or in the way of everything. Even though I'm only between APL and BSL (my AVI is a little out of date), I am starting to feel like I am on the way to having long hair.
I am also starting to love how my hair feels hanging down on my upper back. Even though I protective style most of the time when I go out, I love letting my hair hang free around the house, where I don't have to wear a shirt that my hair can snag on.
The weirdest thing that happened to me though, was that because of where I live (in the southern part of the country with a large hispanic population), my "race" suddenly changed once my hair got to a certain length.erplexed I went from Haitian American black to Dominican Republic hispanic in just a couple of inches as far as other people's perceptions are concerned, which surprised me. This is bad enough, since I have always been proud of my heritage, but it irks me even more because people think they are paying me a complement by saying that I don't "look black."
What annoys me the most, however, is when this assumption ends up negating all the hard work I have done to get to the length I am now. Instead of being admired for my long hair (it is longer than most black women's hair in my area), it becomes okay to even on the short side for hispanic girls. My hair has NEVER been this long before, but a lot of the time I don't get credit for it, and it can be a bummer.

It took me a week to read this whole thread and I enjoyed every post. I can't wait to have a long hair story to tell.

I slammed my hair in the car door & snapped a pic while the hubby pulled off in the parking lot. No hair was harmed in this incident. (See first pic)
I was bored at the hubby's company picnic & was wondering why I was being stared at. Pulled out my camera phone & my hair was blowing in the wind like an American flag. Curls all to one side. Couldn't even fit all my hair in the pick. LOL! (See second pic)

I was told I had long hair yesterday and it felt sooo good! I have a friend whose hair type looks basically identical to mine. His hair is about waist length though (man I can't wait to get there). My hair, as usual, was in a bun.We were on the topic of hair and he said, I don't think i've ever really seen your hair though...may I? I said ohh sure, why not..
I let my hair down and he was like
damn mel I see you! I'm not even gonna lie, I wasn't expectin all that I was like I can't wait for it to be considered long.
He stretched my longest layers and I'm happily very close to MBL for the first time in years. He was like girl, you're trippin cause your hair is definitely in the "long" category. my face was like REALLY LOL. I just said you have no idea how happy that makes me lol, but I can't wait to be in your boat!

I went to the beach on Memorial Day and didn't realize how much my hair shrinks up until i went and played in the waves! :Shock: the force of the water pulled my curls down my back pass my swimming top and over my shoulders. I felt like a mermaid lol!
My hair seems to love salt water bc when i got out and it dried...my hair was so soft like a teddy bear!

Go 'head, you mermaid you! Nice!

Lol! It was funny bc after i got hit by the first couple of waves i felt something sticking to my back...and it freaked me out at first. I screamed bc i thought it was a giant starfish or jellyfish or something crazy like that (my friend had just said there was a warning out about jellyfish) lol...and then i realized it was my hair!
I felt absolutely beautiful at that moment. It was like a moment of "God is really somethin with His creativity" bc my hair shrinks up to my shoulders...right above them...and the water stretched it all the way down my back. Lol...felt like somethin out of a fairytale.
my hair loves salt water. I leave the beach with wet hair and then use a protein conditioner. It makes my hair really soft
I find the ends of my hair tucked into my bikini bottoms when my hair is wet. Last time i went swimming the waves were really rough. I tried to extend my arm to swim and i couldnt because my hair was wrapped around my arm! I always think i have seaweed on my back

I haven't been to the beach in a long time. I'll have to make a stop at the beach and see if my hair likes salt water.

I feel so happy to be able to share long hair stories again! My hair must grow really fast because it seems like just yesterday i was complaining about missing my long hair...and now its long again and all i do is throw it in a bun on top of my head...a big sloppy curly bun that i absolutely adore! Lol
I have noticed...especially at work...women love to come around me and talk about their hair and weave. They don't talk directly to me...they just start talking about mostly weave...and i'm all...
It feels good to not have to depend on weaves tho.

OMG! My hair loves salt water too.
I got my hair stuck in between my elbow and my baby while I was holding him on my hip the other day. It was a frizzy, wild mess, but in that moment I realized my hair is in the long category. It does hurt when he gets handfuls of the ends intertwined in his fingers, but I personally feel it is the epitome of feminity to have long hair that my children like to touch, look at, and play in (on occasion). Whenever I wear it down around the house, even briefly, my daughter always compliments me on how pretty I look. It makes me blush. She's such a sweetheart.
Y'all know I'm all about protective styling and avoiding mechanical damage, but sometimes I like it when my son pulls on it, and definitely when the SO smells it and runs his hands through it. Oooohh wee I can't wait until it gets a lot longer. I cant wait until I can sit down and have my hair touch the seat. I don't see myself cutting it....like EVER. I'm too in love with long hair and all that goes with it.
