Long hair ladies, can I live vicariously through you?

I blew out my hair and wore it down two days in a row, and I must say it did look fabulous. I experiemented with the headband method to put curls in my dry, straight hair. The headband gave me gorgeous, Vavavoom Victoria Secrets curls with no heat.

Anyway. I share my classroom with another teacher. 35 year old blond girl loving, aging jock yt boy. Caught him staring a few times . I get a lot of compliments with my hair down and straight. Sometimes it makes me a little salty. Like where was the love for that fat juicy bun I made the other day??

I can't remember if i told this story or not. But anywho my SO and i were having a "nice" moment when he decided to run his fingers through my hair. I think it was just blowdried, but very big, soft and fluffy. But at that point, it was no longer detangled. It must have justed looked really good or he just got caught up in the moment, idk. Well he stuck his hands in to i guess comb through it or rake it and midway his hand got stuck!! So here he is waving his hand back and forth trying to get it out!

I was dying laughing inside cause i'm too dumb to be embarrassed. But i couldn't laugh in front of him so i just ignored aka played it off. WTF!!! I mean how could i blame him? He's mexican, he didn't know any better. But you can trust that he knows better now and he only pats my head!

The joys of having long and luscious hair...

Don't ban him from playing in your hair
Just run your hands through real quick and tell him he can play in your hair
You can thank me later

I have a story!

Its actually a little old so I don't why I couldn't remember it until now but anyways.

Last summer, I was going out to meet a friend. I had blown out my hair the day before for a wedding and was now rocking a big flully twist out which was hanging between SL and APL. I had a nice outfit on, it was a beautiful day and I felt awesome feeling my hair brush my back for the first time

I got to our meeting place a little early and decided to go to a bank to take out some money before I met my friend. I start walking around and notice several banks but not the one I have an account in. So I walk to a nearby bank anyways and noticed a man walking in at the same time. I asked him if he knew where I could find an X bank and he said it was kinda far if I was planning on walking. I said that sucked cause now I had to pay a fine on my withdrawal. Then he asked how much I was going to withdraw. I said 20$ and he was like "I'll give you 20$"
I was like "That's fine its just a 2.00$ fine" But he insisted saying he was already withdrawing anyways and so gave me 20$ and told me to enjoy my day.

I was like... This is the power of a good hair day

Later I met my friend (who I hadn't seen in a long time) and she was also aaahing and oohing about my hair. It was a good day

i had my first overwhelming compliment from a Caucasian person the other day. i had my ponytail in full swing....and let me just note that i am still shocked that i have a HIGH ponytail now that sits on my shoulder, gets caught when i sit back in a chair and looks like fake ponies i used to wear in high school....but i digress.

one of my co workers (she is blonde, with very thin wispy hair) came up to me and said "your ponytail is so fabulous! i wish i had hair like yours!"


NEVER IN MY LIFE have i EVER had a Caucasian person tell me they WANTED MY HAIR!


it was a good day.....

My hair isn't that long by LHCF standards, but IRL it's fairly long (BSL)

I was at the salon yesterday and I was sitting under the dryer while my stylist worked on another client. The client said to my stylist "her hair is so long and pretty". My stylist replied "she's about to cut 2 inches off" and the client said "Nooooo!"

As she was leaving the salon she came up to me and said please don't cut your pretty hair.

I had a similar experience to @havilland. Not the ponytail cause I just made SL , but a Caucasian woman a few months ago complimented my roll. Her hair was thin and she loved how full mine was. She said she wished her hair was like mine. That was a first for me!

Ok, that's all I got. Hopefully by next summer I can have a REAL story. LOL!

I have a cool one! Today was an especially nice day (sunny and warm but not too hot in S. Florida), so I was driving in to work with my sunroof open, the windows down, and my MBL relaxed hair flying loose. Some guy in a convertible with the top down pulls up next to me, does a double take, and yells "Baby I wish you were riding next to me today with your pretty hair!" Too bad he was young enough to be my son, or I might have considered hopping into his BMW for a quick spin.

I just remembered when I was APL it was the beginning of my hj I had only BCd months before and my hair was the healthiest it had ever been. It was summer so I was experimenting with lots of new styles. I especially liked to wear my hair straight, but I didn't really like the hassle of wearing my hair out.

My friend of years was really supportive she was like yea don't you dare get any relaxers lol. The longer my hair got the drier my ends got so one day I was just discussing how I was going to trim my hair -joking about how my hair was going to look lopsided lol. Long story short she offers to trim it for me and I know that she done hair dressing in college so I wasn't really bothered, I agreed and she chopped my hair off. I went from APL to EL - I couldn't even get my hair into a hairband moral of the story never underestimate jealousy

On a brighter note 2 and a half years later in almost inches BSL ( I can taste it) and I have only recently started wearing my hair out/ down . The other day i got my first weave check - i absolutely loved it but was humble about although i was shouting and Screaming inside lol. My homegirl , she white but she knew how much I loved to wear weaves, wigs, ponies etc we went out to the winter festival bc we hadn't seen each other in years.so we were standing waiting to go on the first ride, and we were just joking around saying I hope my shoes don't come off n she turns n whispers is it a weave - so I was like no n she was like oh a wig - so I was like no its my hair. She was checking all up in my head for tracks n pulling it lol I was laughing my head off n she was like oh my people pay for what you naturally have lol. I do love that girl lol

It gave me a little boost to think of how far I've come although my hair has got a long way to go (my two cents)

Oh. My. God! I would have been up in jail after that, because home girl would have been dead after that stunt.

I'm glad you overcame that set back though; sometimes the best revenge is moving forward and surpassing where other people try to push you down to.

well, my little blurb isn't really that interesting...but it made me smile, anyway.

mind you, my hair isn't long anymore

but during our summer session at work this past summer, i had straightened my hair. i very very very rarely straighten my hair and i have a LOT of shrinkage.

i work in a toddler classroom. one of the preschool teachers came into the room to ask a question (or something) and she stops...and goes "...you........have......long hair" with the most surprised look on her face EVER. haha.

my reply was "it's not that long" (and it wasnt. it was past armpit, but not quite brastrap length)

now, it's short again and i'm trying to grow it back to where it was and beyond

I'm bunning pretty much 100% now, but I'm at home letting my hair fly free and wild for a few hours.

I'm just flipping it, clipping it, and just playing in it. I'll bun it back later. It's important to release the beast ever so often so I know why I'm bunning so heavily.

Lol thanks but it was cry, put her in the ground or walk away. I chose the latter as I'm too stubborn to cry, and I would not survive jail girl lmbo

I still see her and I can tell she never thought that my hair would ever grow back, I just laugh cz it's so much healthier and longer than when she cut it. Hopefully by summer I will be nearer to my goal of WL - don't get it twisted I will not go near that girl again Jay incase she pulls done scissors out - then I will be posting from a jail cell

I am shocked. Think back, did she give you any indications of her jealousy before? Like sly comments, backhanded compliments, etc...kinky curlygenie

Not really at the start it was kinda like "natural really" wasn't feeling it but after a while it was cool. Some days when I was like egh don't know what to do she would just say just relax or if you don't want to do chemicals the do a bkt ( at the time she was raving on about bkt but I never thought it was sly more constructive really so nope no warning really I have always been careful of people up in my hair as I have never been to a salon but to this day no one goes near my hair with anything remotely sharp lmbo

Bump Bump.

I can finally post in this thread, yessssss!
I took my bun down the other day in target because it was lopsided and needed to be re-done. A lady behind me in the aisle said to her friend "wow, I want my hair to be like that".

Really? 'Cause unless you just grew all that hair since Sunday, it looks like you've been in the long hair club for awhile.

Beautiful hair! How did you do that braid/twistout in your avatar? What products and technique did you use? It is really beautiful!

I'm BSL, so according to the outside blk hair world, my hair is long. I don't feel it is of course because I'm an LHCFer. It won't feel long to me until I'm MBL.

Anyway, I sent a couple friends and family members pics of my latest flat iron and length check and they're all like, "OMG, your hair is long!" and asking me for tips. I was in shock like thinking, This aint even long. Yall aint see nothing yet.

RegaLady Twistout with a moisturizer and Eco styler gel on wet hair. Most likely it was Darcy's pumpkinseed, or Shea moisture CESC. Posted from my shower...while peeing...with the LHCF App

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this story, but here goes.

I've been going to the same hairdresser for years, and years, and years and until I started my HHJ my hair has always been between SL and CBL. All that time my stylist never asked me about my home hair care practices, but in the past year she has started asking me about my products, my day to hair styles, etc.

Last night I was there for a touch up and I'm past BSL. My stylist's sister was there and she said you're hair is really long (I still don't consider it really long). At that point my stylist jumped in the conversation and was all over herself telling her sister about my hair. "We only leave the relaxer on for 10 minutes, she washes her hair with baking soda and water, she stopped using her curling iron. She only puts heat on her hair when she comes here, which is only for touch ups and color. I think the no heat is the most important."

I was just grinning away.

I love this "problem" as well . Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow lol.

I did a rollerset last night & gathered the large soft curls up into a high ponytail this morning while cleaning my house. Shortly after, I smacked the mess out of my shoulder thinking something was crawling on me!!! Embarrassed & pleased to realize it was only my curly pony. Long hair problems are here! But I'm only MBL. Can't imagine WL... Hopefully this year!!!
