When your hair is shedding, you (me anyway) can pull out strands that reach past your elbows.
hope that didn't sound too weird....

I know my hair is growing because:
1) When people hug me these days, my hair gets stuck in their arms around my back.

...Everyday people ask me if I'm wearing a wig! I never get that one, can a wig look so soft and lush and blow freely in the wind?
I love it when strangers tell me how much they love my hair, how they wished they had hair like mine (thickness more than length)...it kinda goes to your head cause I'm no where near my goals!
On the flip side I really don't like or even care when haters say 'won't you put a relaxer on that hair it's too thick!' or 'why is your hair so frizzy?' or 'when you gonna cut of all that hair?' and my favorite ' I just couldn't deal with all that thick hair!' I just don't listen to ignorant people.

I know my hair is looking better and getting longer when:
1. Friends comment.
2. The lady that works at Staples ask why I put all that stuff in my hair (i.e. braids) when I have pretty hair.
3. When I go to the movies and lean back on the seat and my hair gets caught between my back and the seat (just now starting to happen).
4. When women start whispering about my hair when I sit in front of them at church.
5. When I get noticeably more attention from men with my hair down than when it's up.
6. When I start thinking about cutting it again (vicious cycle).
7. When I'm not paranoid about see-through thin hair when wearing it down.

when u feel something crawling on your bosom and u know it's an insect cause your hair ai'nt that long to reach there. then you flip out and start swinging at the air trying to get this creature off of your bosom and then.... 'oh it was my hair'..... (and everyone is staring at you like you are insane in the membrane)

When you pull a tight fitting t-shirt over your head and your hair hopelessly (bad spelling, sorry) gets caught between it, your bra, and your arms.

You know your hair is gettin longer when....
1) When you go to get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom but you cannot because your man is laying on your hair and it's all the way up underneath his shoulder or arm so that he would have to move for you to actually lift your head.
2) I'm on a bun/no-heat regimine. So, when I wear it down to work (about once a month) ... I get EVERYONE...double-taking, staring, looking shocked, not recognizing me, telling me "I love your hair down!" (that's from the whites), the brothers say, "Your hair looks nice like that you should do it more often!), and the sisters say, "**staring quietly**" (they say nothing)
3) Your basic bun, which used to look like a little poo-poo ball, now looks like a tennis ball (and it's all yours!)

Today my dad looked at me and decided to yank my hair because he said "it's thick" . Now is that some odd behavior or what? I even tried to shield my self from the "hair yank" but there was no way that I could escape it. I guess that is a sign.

* When coworkers see you in the hallway and say "I saw this girl in the cafeteria with all this hair but didn't realize it was you till I saw the cheeks" (I have fat cheeks )
* When your boss just shakes his head in dis-belief when you wear it down.. once in the morning and again in the afternoon "... did not know you had all that hair"
* When your hairdresser keeps promising to charge you the "long hair rate".. lol...

1. When you are getting ready for church and braidng your hair and my daughter walks by then walks by a few minutes later and say's "are you still on that same braid? Hurry up mom!"
2. You decided to treate your self to a salon wash and deep conditioner and I start to take out my braids and the helper says she will help remove those extensions for you
well I said nothing and just watched her face as she realized they were not extensions. Then the owner said " we have to charge extra for the long hair. 
They got the treate I got stiffed.
3. When a lady said "you must be a Christian with such long hair up in a bun"

When you feel a couple of strands tickling your waist, and you pull on them thinking they are shedded or broken and find those bad boys are still stuck to your scalp...Woo Hoo!!!
When your single braid after 3 months of shriveled new growth STILL reaches your bra strap.

--When you have to be careful zipping up your coat because your hair could be caught in it
--When your normal hair style (ie, Dominican blow out) costs $5 more because you are no longer in the category of "medium length"
--When you realize that you have to sit under the hooded drier longer, because your hair can no longer dry completely in the 45 min that it used to take
