Had to crow about this...

2008-09-26T15:47:12Z

FINALLY to my waist!!!

I had human hair extensions added in for thickness, but the length is my own and the wave of the extensions (they're the clamp kind) give great body to my straight hair and look totally natural. But my own hair is FINALLY waist length!!!

After a bout with Cushing's, and cancer, this is a glorious thing :)

Looking for new styles and ideas!

2008-05-08T22:39:37Z

Greetings, fellow long hair lovers!

So nice to finally find a group of people who love their hair long like I do! Everyone I know has fairly short hair,
and I sometimes find myself wondering if maybe I should cut my hair off and turn it into a more modern, "edgy"
shorter style like everyone else has. My hair is finally how I have always dreamed of having it, and I know that if
I were to cut it, even a little bit, I would end up regretting it. The problem is I am bored with not being able to come
up with any really cute styles, and I wondered how some of you wear your long hair? I wear mine in either a bun
or a ponytail 90% of the time just because it gets in the way otherwise, and only wear it down when I go out, which
is rare. I love up-dos, and would like to learn some cute up-do styles. Any ideas?

Henna

2008-03-28T09:40:11Z

Okay, so I've been vaguely toying with the idea of hennaing my hair, or a small portion of it because I love the colour, but I don't entirely know what the end result would be like, or how long it lasts, or what the overall effects on your hair (other than the colour, obviously) are, so on and so forth...basically, I'm looking for all the information on hennaed hair and how to henna your hair that I can get. Anything, really! Thanks!

Long Hair Community Members?

2008-01-31T07:54:06Z

Hi there!
I'm new to this tribe, always looking for more support for continuing to grow out my hair (and entertainment to keep me from getting bored with waiting. :D )

My hair is about an inch past bra-strap length in the back. My goal (for now) is waist length, where I think I'll keep it for a while, while I trim back some of the layers and even things up. I don't have much damage, just a few splits here and there - I henna once every two or three months and otherwise do nothing color/stylewise. I usually leave my hair in a braid or bun with a little oil on the ends to keep it protected during the day.

I have a question for you all: are any of you on the longhaircommunity.com website? I tried to sign up several days ago and received the email confirmation, so I went back to "activate" my account and it said I'd be placed in the queue for the moderators to activate. But I haven't heard anything. I dropped a line to the "contact us" folks and haven't heard back from them, either. Any idea what's going on? I can't post new threads or respond to threads there until my account has been activated by a moderator, but they seem to all be ignoring me... :(

Thanks all!

Hairstyle problem...

2008-01-28T06:02:41Z

Okay, I had to go to an event recently and I, who so rarely wear my hair up (the only way I've worn it up in the past years is in Heidi Braids, which ain't all that fancy looking), realized that all of the hairstyles that I used to do when I had shorter hair, could no longer be done now that my hair is about at the top of my hips. So, I'm looking for nice "up" hairstyles that I can wear at really fancy events (so, elegant would be the general gist of this), that cater to long hair--and ideas? :)

I'd like to learn how to get my hair into a french twist without pins if possible. I was thinking of anchoring my hair with hairsticks and and unpinning my hair as a date progresses ;) Any ideas how to get hip-length hair into an updo (I gotta learn this by Wednesday)

Thanks so much everyone!

Suddenly splitting!

2008-01-23T19:41:29Z

New here--I moved to Utah from MD two years ago, and my hair (three inches below my bra back strap) is splitting like MAD. I wash it every 3 days, have tried hot oils, Infusium...I know you can only cut splits out and they do not repair, but if I cut them out, my hair will be four inches shorter. Took FOREVER for it to grow this long!!

I've been trimming out the split ends as I find them, and not all parts are split--just the front and the underlayer.

What are your favorite conditioners and vitamins to prevent further damage??? I don't dye it, use styling products or heat on it, I don't wring it or anything else, and I brush it from the bottom up with a boar bristle brush..I'm at a loss!

Layering long hair

2008-01-23T19:34:12Z

I was thinking of lightly layering my hip-length hair to give it more movement and even more sex-appeal...I've never layered my hair at all...does anyone have any great pics of lightly layered loooong hair for me to take to the stylist? No matter where I go, they usually try to convince me to chop too much off which is discouraging since I really want to keep the length.

Thanks :)

Tips for help growing hair?

2007-10-08T05:32:25Z

My hair was almost down to my butt before I went to get it "trimmed" and walked out of the salon with 5" less in length....since then (about 4 months ago), it hasn't seemed to gain any length...

I try not to wash it any more than 3 times per week, and when I do, wash my scalp and just allow the shampoo to rinse through the rest. I condition all of it thoroughly. I don't use any styling products or heat on my hair, and I wear it in a loose ponytail at night.

Does anyone have any tips to encourage hair growth?

reclaiming gray, turning it back authentically

2007-10-08T05:25:29Z

Ok
This totally took me by surprise. In my search for covering grey healthfully, I found many sites claiming that mollasis and brewers yeast could restore color to graying hair. I was sceptacal, but thought...gee...that's just B vite's, trace minerals. So I bought some great multis, mineral, and vitamin.
Amazingly, and to my utter astonishment there are many new dark brown hairs coming in thickly in areas that were previously all gray.
Not only is it darker, but coming in thicker.
From what I can tell it is
Inositol
B's
Copper (not much)
And the things that help assimilate those
Crazy...but true!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to share this with everyone...it's so damn cool

I Met A Girl With Long Red Hair

2007-07-11T03:32:27Z

I met a girl
with long red hair.
The one from my dreams
who haunted me there.

Though trothed to another
and loves him true.
In a part of her heart
she loves me too.

I dream of her
when I am alone.
And feel her presence
here in my home.

She is a fantasy
that cannot be real.
My honor is strong,
before it I kneel.

No other resides
in my heart’s special place.
No picture so sweet
than my angels face.

Be I damned or blessed,
which one is my fate?
I choose the latter
with smiles, contemplate…

I met a girl
with long red hair.
The one from my dreams
and still resides there.

Products to protect from heat styling/UV?

2007-04-24T07:18:38Z

I used to use Thermasilk products on my hip-length hair to protect it from my straightening iron but the line has been discontinued. I also used Citrishine shine spray which, alas, has also recently been taken off the market. What are other good products to keep long hair silky and protected from heat styling and sun damage? Thank you!

Hi All....am new here!

2006-09-15T16:57:21Z

Hi Everyone!

Am new here. Name's Arathi. Am trying to grow my hair long. Right now, I am at a very awkward stage where my hair is less than shoulder length! But I have very high hopes that I can grow it down till my waist. No clue if that is even possible since none of the women in my family have bothered to grow it out that long! :(

Well, hi to everyone. And thanks Rosered, I read your post with tips on how to grow long hair. Am gonna make a trip to Sally Beauty supply this Saturday if I can, and will look for shampoos without sulfates and some hair vitamins too! :) Thanks. Might even get myself a satin pillowcase although I have no clue where to get one!

Ciao
Arathi

Where can I get my hair 'dusted'?

2006-08-23T23:10:22Z

My hair has lots of layers [result of my previous short hairstyle] and I have lots of split ends. I know that the key to grow healthy hair is to get rid of all the damage right at the beginning!

Does anyone know where I can go in the Greater Boston area to get the ends dusted. I do not really want to lose whatever little length I do have by some over-zealous hairstylist! I go to Supercuts usually and they are not good at getting rid of split ends. I cannot spend a whole lot of money, so I do not want anything on Newbury street that would cost me like 50 bucks for them to just look at my hair! :))

Thanks for all the amazing tips on this site!

Style Suggestions?

2006-01-04T05:32:02Z

I have long, curly when it wants to be, waist length hair that I get loads of compliments on...when its down. Its hot and heavy and unruly and I usually just pull it up or braid it. Problem is...if I have all this hair why not enjoy it?

I can't bring myself to cut it all off and I have worn it in the same style for so long I don't even know what the options are. I have bangs that I'd like to grow out but thats also a daunting task when it has so far to grow to catch up with the rest!

So besides just straight and one length, who has a style suggestion to help grow out the bangs and to bring the length under control?

a new style

2005-12-09T18:39:16Z

Help! I've been wearing my hair in the same style since freshman year in high school, that is 14 years and I need a change! My hair is all one length, slightly wavy (not all over, something that drives me MAD) and is almost long enough to sit on. I don't want to cut any more than a few inches off. I'd love to change the color or add curls or waves to it but there are two problems I have.

1) Anything I do curl wise is going to cost an arm and a leg, maybe even a few toes. Coloring at home with the help of a friend is doable but this leads me to problem 2
2) I am a HUGE chicken shit when it comes to changing my hair. I am so worried that what ever I do will look bad, come out wrong or just plain suck.

Now onto the questions. How well does that temporary wash out after X number of showers hair color work? Does the color end up being the same shade as the permanent stuff? If you either don't like the color or just want it gone can you wash it X number of times right in a row and have it be gone? Or does it have to slowly fade and look all kinds of dorky until it's out?

If anyone knows of a temporary way to curl your hair to give it a test run please let me know!

At-home Hair Coloring?

2005-10-15T01:43:24Z

Hi all,

I realized just how much money I'm spending on hair coloring at the salon and it's truly frightening. The Aveda salon charges $85 for touch ups and, at six times a year, that's over $500 not including tip (!). Granted, it looks fabulous when it's done but I could actually use going in once a month and that's just out of the question.

I've been flirting with the idea of doing it at home but am kind of scared at the prospect. Does anyone have experience and/or any pointers they can send my way?

I'd really appreciate it.

all the best,
Adora

Care and Conditioning

2005-10-08T08:37:31Z

I have hair which is about half way down my back. It isn't super thick but I have a lot of it. I do color it which I know is bad, but having blonde hair with a dark personality is bad also (so I dye it dark to match). I am noticing that even though I get my trims every six weeks the ends are dry and sometimes appear white with many splits. Are there any ideas for how to condition it better? I don't want to have to cut it off and start over, and I know once you have split ends you can't repair them, but what can I do to make it so it doesn't get worse. In addition, what is better for your hair-wearing it up or blow drying it and wearing it down?

New photo set (NSFW)

2005-07-05T14:59:41Z

Hello there, folks. Since I've been doing a lot of photos showcasing my long hair, I figured I'd leave a note here inviting you to take a peek at them in my album.

The photographer is a fairly new one, and I'm getting back into the modeling scene after a long hiatus, so they have the feel more of "sketches" then polished images.

Due to nudity and mild kinkiness, I haven't posted them in the "group pictures" section, but I figured some of you might appreciate them.

Enjoy!

evil cutting opinions

2005-02-18T04:07:31Z

so I'm at a point where I'm tempted to go to a (gasp) salon for a trim of 2 inches or so because the dusting has my hair rather raggedy.
give me reasons NOT to go or options, please. The online cut it yourself does not work for me. I don't see well enough (depth perception) to get it even.
Gracias

yoghurt

2004-09-10T14:43:30Z

I read an herbal book by a Rommainian doctor who wrote that it was and is common practice to use yoghurt to nurture the hair and is the reason they cab grow their hair so long. Just smudge on and massage in at least a pint of plain yoghurt into hair and then wrap in towel for at least an hour and then wash off using regular shampoo. I tried it. It is very nice.
