Beautiful! I'm :drool: over their hair. I would love to see if I can ever have knee-length or longer hair. I'm not sure if I would have the patience to maintain it though.

I think it has less to do with genetics than it does healthy eating and living; low maintenance regimen and using natural products on the hair. Keep in mind that Henna both strengthens and straightens the hair.

I agree with most of what you're saying here. But I also believe climate plays a significant role. I live in Michigan and have always had to tweak my regimen to comply with the weather, but when I lived in California for a few years, my hair thrived with very minimal maintenance. :perplexed

Definately not JUST genetics. I grew up in an Indian community.. 90% of my friends are Indian and I know a lot of them who want longer/thicker hair but are doing Western type regimens to achieve that. In terms of length their hair grows pretty well (but their hair is never that short to begin with so its not a good marker) but the thickness and health I see is just not there. Even the ones with thick hair, it could probably be thicker if they followed a more "South Asian" regimen (but I guess it's an "in-thing" to be more Westernized, doing it may be considered FOB-ish :spinning:). so there is definately something to this Ayervedic (sp?) thing and natural hair care :yep: I'm definately keeping up .

*writes note to self to pick up some Henna sometime this week :grin:*



My favourtie ^^ :lick: Her hair is like silk!

Love the photos... but man... I think there's a bit more to this site than they make it out to be. Check out the forum.... I think it more caters to men who have a long hair fetish. They even have a service where they let the men oil, brush, braid their hair etc... ewww

I agree with you. I was thinking about the many Indian women I know from Trinidad and Guyana who don't use ayurvedic practices (or healthy practices, for that matter) and I would say that while most of their naturally grows long, thickness and health of hair is a whole other issue. It's all about taking care of what you're naturally given, but I think women like those on the website acheive the unbelievable thickness, health and shine by taking care to another level with ayurveda and protective styling.

So no one here but me thinks this is like 99.9% genetics? :drunk:

I think the lengths they can achieve are genetics. Not everyone can grow hair to their feet. But in no way am I implying "All indian girls have hair to their feet cause its genes.." ..im sure some of these LHCF gals could grow hair to their feet if they wanted to as well. But IDK what 3 or 4 type (especially 4a/4b) would be sane enough to have feet length hair. Could you imagine the detangle sessions? :lachen:

Actually I agree that climate does play a role in the health of hair. I wasn't thinking about that and you reminded me of the fact that I have been wanting to move to California for over a year now. I think our hair thrives in warm weather. What part of Cali did you live in? Was it a dry heat or a moist heat? I think a moist heat is really good for our hair. I also think the warm/hot climates keep the blood circulating which aids in hair growth and health.

If God is willing, I'm going to grow my hair very long...maybe like the first woman pictured and then chop it off to hip length for charity or for a child that needs a wig.:yep:

No, I think part of it's genetics. I know from a valid source and someone who studies that stuff (trichology?) that the average person should be able to get to 24 inches if other factors are in place.

Oh, the source is growafrohairlong.com.:yep:

I'm not an expert or anything but what I know of Indians is that their hair regimen is pretty simple. I grew up among them and I still live in a predominantly Indian neighborhood and I see that kind of hair everyday.
They usually wash and condition with basic drugstore shampoo and conditioner (the cheaper the better cause a $20 bottle of conditioner will last one wash :lol: )
Air dry and coat the hair with coconut oil, put it in a braid or bun and go. The more modern Indians get their hair blow dried and flat ironed once a week at the salon and trimmed about once a month and their hair is still pretty long.
Indians are blessed. If you take a strand of their hair and hold it between your hands and try to burst it it's like trying to burst wire. You're more likely to succeed in cutting your hands than bursting that strand.

Yes, genetics.

Yeah so, this is absolutely gorgeous but even this type of hair has disadvantages. While it looks healthy and stuff, it doesnt old styles. curls, & waves well. This is making me appreciate my hair so much right now. I can go for a curly look NATURALLY, style it, or I can straighten it so that it LOOKS almost as silky too :yep:

hahaha! The blog comments are so funny! A bunch of men saying 'i long for the day i can oil and braid such long hair' lol. In a way it's cute that these men love long hair and want to braid it but it is also kind of freaky...i wouldn't mind SO obsessing over my hair though

Mentioned something similar a few pages back. This site is sick! lol. Just go to the forum. Men begging for details about how other guys washed and oiled one of the ladies hair. Asking 'about how you keep yourself control while doing it. :blush: The site caters to men with a long hair fetish. They pay to download videos and also pay to actually go in and to the braiding, washing etc :nono: I hope people from elsewhere don't think we're looking at this site in the same light.

I'm not going to lie. I would be very pleased if my hair grew this long. I am not sure if I would keep it that long, but if I could enjoy that length for a few months, I would.
