How Do You Show Your Length?

[Isis]

What hair styles do you wear or techniques do you use to show your length?

When I first started this journey, I loved wearing French Twists because even with my hair up, this style always looked like I had a lot of hair, possibly long hair tucked up in there.

I also continue to enjoy wearing loose braid outs since it shows length very well by elongating the hair, no matter how long one's hair is.

So how do you show your hair's length?

I wish I had lenth to show..

 

[lilsparkle825]

because of all the shrinkage it looks longest flat-ironed (collarbone stretched)...LOVE the look, can't wait till it's APL!

 

[*Happily Me*]

I do wash and gos, or I roll loosely with flexi rods.

 

[plastic]

i dont show my length .. i dont plan to until i reach LBL ,but when I do it will be flat ironed for sure

 

[FlowerHair]

I wear it down and curly/wash and go

To show length I wear my hair flatironed..

 

[Fine 4s]

I do protective styles and do not straighten my hair. So for now, I bunch my hair in a bun and it looks big. So big that I can't lean back when I'm on the train b/c the bun is in the way

Also, this past weekend I had a tighter (compact), neater bun and someone else was talking about how long my hair is when it's lose ( I showed her). And another girl responded 'you can tell you have really long hair' teehee.....smiling all the way to the LhCF...

 

[Allandra]

I wear my hair straight.

 

[darkangel25]

I flat iron it, but I'm thinking of doing a loose rollerset next time.

 

[MysteryMe]

Usually a ponytail or bun of some sort.

 

[Valerie]

By stretching it when it is unloosed.

 

[prospurr4]

To show length, I usually straighten my hair by doing a rollerset on large, magnetic rollers. I also may wear a twistout.

That, exactly. I suspect I'll show it when it reaches the milestones - APL/MBL/WL - BSL is a pointless length on me. I suspect it'll be flatironed, because I can do that at home, and it seems like the 'safest' option.

Cosigning!

 

[MizAvalon]

My length shows the best when it's flatironed after a fresh touch-up.

Even after all that there is shrinkage and the TRUE length still can't be seen unless I pull on it.

 

[Highly Favored8]

To show length I wear my hair flatironed..

I wear my hair the same way.

 

[MzOptimistic]

I wear a protective style all the time but when I want to show my length. I rollerset my hair on the caruso's, comb the curls out, wrap my hair, and take the wrap down and my hair fall down my back ooohhhhhhh, I can't wait until I'm mb

 

[Vshanell]

Either a silk wrap or a braid-out. I still get shrinkage with both of those but I don't want to flat iron.

Sometimes I band it.

Buns, depending on how they are made, can show or imply length.

 

[audacity.]

I stretch my hair when it is wet or I wear it straight.

DSylla, you profile says bsl but looking at your fotki you are at waist length at least.

 

[CurlyMoo]

I don't show length I keep up usally with a large claw. But I still get the your hair is getting so long comments. I think I am now at APL, but I have not flat ironed my hair since Feb '07. I don't want to put any heat til December.

 

[SherryLove]

I wear my hair in a loosely curled ponytail for the most part.

Sherry,I love your hair...its beautiful!

 

[cheetarah1980]

The only way for me to show my true length is to straighten my hair, which I refuse to do. Fresh twists and twistouts show a good amount of my length. It doesn't last long though, cause my hair prefers to be shrunken and I don't have the energy to work against it.
