View Full Version : Twenty bucks for two inches?
MadPirateBippy March 26th, 2008, 10:43 PM So, would you pay two dollars, right now, for another two inches of length with no splits? Just, BOOM, another two inches of virgin growth, wave a magic wand?
What about twenty dollars for two inches? I have to admit I'd be pretty tempted there.
A hundred dollars for five inches? Right now, one time deal, BAM! Five more inches of perfect, split-free hair with no broken baby hairs around the face.
What about five dollars for an instant foot of hair, and you could make payments?
What about a thousand dollars for whatever growth you would need to reach your ultimate length goal- knee, ankle, or just add another 7 feet of hair, thank you very much.
Is the joy more in the growing or the having of long hair? Would it be too much of a pain in the butt to have to learn a whole new set of updos? If it's two dollars, would even the women who like the process say, sure, let's go, two more inches with no splits works for me!
*starts working on hair lengthening machine*
DecafJane March 26th, 2008, 10:53 PM Great poll!
I would walk 500 miles (and I would walk 500 more) for the hair.
However, I would be greatly distracted by the adverts for disposable razors that appear at the bottom of this post. They would make me walk faster, to get away from them! :D
Cinnamon Hair March 26th, 2008, 10:57 PM What an interesting poll! In the past I probably would have said yes, but I voted no. If it were 2 inches of thick ends I would be much more tempted, but just two inches of total growth, no go.
capelli lunghi March 26th, 2008, 10:59 PM Well.. the $5 bit is a great deal.. can I just get a couple of those? haha
lilmisspicky126 March 26th, 2008, 11:22 PM Cheese Weasels! I want a cheese weasel! ( I don't have enough money to buy hair and I don't enjoy walking outside.)
hrimfaxi March 26th, 2008, 11:27 PM Somehow... it just wouldn't be the same if I could pay for it and get it instantly.
SimplyLonghair March 26th, 2008, 11:47 PM I want cheese!:cheese:
Give me the cheese and no one gets hurt!:luke:
BTW I find the store bought hair ads at the bottom funny! A poll on what would you pay to have more hair and so they want to make sure that you can buy more if you want it! :shrug:
Me, I like the process!
Finoriel March 27th, 2008, 12:51 AM Why paying for it when I can get it gratis, with a little time :knit:
on the other hand I have some money left this month...
but I think I will end up buying some cheese 8) or weasels with cheese, if they taste good... :D cheese filled weasel au gratin with cheese sauce please!?
Katze March 27th, 2008, 12:53 AM Sure! 20 dollars is cheap to me as I live and work in Euros!
If I had two extra, thick, split-free inches, I would finally be solidly at BSL. I bet my hair would look long, too! :D
So, Mad Pirate, where can we sign up?
Sarahmoon March 27th, 2008, 02:29 AM I don't really care about the extra length, it will come eventually (I think, at least an extra 2 inch should be possible ;)) But I certainly would pay for instant splitless hair that doesn't go any shorter!
florenonite March 27th, 2008, 02:53 AM I voted a fiver for a foot, but I would walk five hundred miles (and I would walk five hundred more) to be the one to walk a thousand miles to ... get more hair. *now has 500 miles stuck in her head*:silly:
shrimp March 27th, 2008, 03:01 AM I went for $2 for 2inches (Only £1 - bargain!) as that would take me beyond classic at last!
Then, as soon as I voted I felt that wasn't really true. Haivng waitied this long what's two more inches? (hmmm yeah :rolleyes: still reconsidering........) And it would kind of feel like I hadn't really achieved it.
heva March 27th, 2008, 03:30 AM I've changed my mind already since I voted! I'd pay $20 for 2 inches, but I wouldn't want more than that. 2 extra magic inches every year would be nice. It's not enough to feel like cheating! Or I might get a foot and then cut off the ends!
Alley Cat March 27th, 2008, 03:32 AM I put $5 for a instant foot of hair that would take me to 43 inches way too long for me but I could cut it back to tailbone and see finally in an instant if I liked that length or not . Hey presto:magic: I like that idea. Sign me up . :D
SolSara March 27th, 2008, 03:40 AM I have a feeling my terminal length is far above what I would really want to have (classic), so if I could have it for a 1000 dollars, be it. :) That's a half month's pay at the low-paid job I had before going back to school, it might be affordable. And since I just started growing, I don't care so much about it being cheating.. :)
daisy March 27th, 2008, 03:40 AM At first, I thought "sure, I'd pay 5 bucks for a foot". Then I realized something. My hair is about hip length now. It actually feels long. It is a hassle. I do very bad things, like sleep with it loose. If I suddenly had a foot more hair, I wouldn't know what to do with it. It needs to happen gradually, so that I learn to make those small adjustments. Much as I hate having to wait 2 years to get to my goal, it's for the best.
socks March 27th, 2008, 05:04 AM Hell yes! I'd walk the 500 miles or dish out up to half of what's in my bank account for something like that. I'm deathly afraid of hitting terminal somewhere in the next foot or two, so some guarenteed way of getting longer hair would be amazing. :D
lora410 March 27th, 2008, 05:27 AM Yup, I'd pay 5$ for another foot fo hair. That would take me well beyond my goal (which is 6 more inches)
iris March 27th, 2008, 05:38 AM I'm spending much, much more than $5 on getting my hennaed length to somewhat blend in with my natural roots. So yeah, I'd pay $5 to get the extra foot, then lop off the hennaed part ;)
Iris
Gylfi March 27th, 2008, 05:49 AM I am confused by some of your answers. You wouldn't do it because you wouldn't feel like you had earned it?? Then what was the payment for! If I'm paying twenty bucks for 2 inches of hair, then I darn-well earned it :p Same with walking the 500 miles. I checked all of the boxes :cool:
ladystar March 27th, 2008, 05:59 AM I would walk I like the exercise and in some way I can feel like I earned it.
Alaia March 27th, 2008, 06:41 AM I'd pay $2 for two more inches, but not $20.
I'd probably pay $5 for a foot, but I forgot to check that option :p
I wouldn't walk 500 miles. I'm lazy. And I don't want that song stuck in my... too late :rolleyes:
If the growth were at the top of my head and I'd chosen the foot, I would chop at least 6 inches of it right back off again so that I have some semblance of a nice hemline and no splits. With just 2 inches I wouldn't bother. Actually I'd probably buy two of those $2 2 inch packs and cut the second one off :p
I would also like some cheese weasels. :silly:
jel March 27th, 2008, 08:35 AM I would possibly go for the $20 option (though I voted cheezyweazy) - the $2 would be too cheap for the whole, perfect 2 inches. And although I have about 6" to my goal, I wouldn't pay for more - it would be too easy, and therefore not as precious.
birdiefu March 27th, 2008, 08:40 AM I would pay $2 for two inches of hair, just so I could cut off 2" of ends and not wait so long to catch up my damaged, yucky layers. But if my ends were healthy and I had a nice hemline, I would enjoy the journey happily.
Starr March 27th, 2008, 08:50 AM I'd pay $5 for a foot- sounds like a great deal!
Can't go wrong with cheese weasels either.
physicschick March 27th, 2008, 08:51 AM Nah, I wouldn't pay for more hair. I'm at my goal length. More hair would be heavier and might screw up my buns, which are currently working quite well.
However, if this magic hair growing machine existed, I would cut back to tailbone and see if my inside out bun works at that length. If it did, I'd stick with tailbone. If it didn't, I'd need the hair growing machine to return me to classic length.
Remke March 27th, 2008, 09:27 AM Nah, not really. I'de buy more toys.
pookatrina March 27th, 2008, 10:20 AM I would pay $500 for a cheese weasel. I'd go for the $5 for a foot, because I could maintain my length by cutting off a foot to get rid of my worst damage.
Blueglass March 27th, 2008, 10:30 AM In my case, a real barrier to say a waist goal, is that I live on the east coast where everything is
very expensive. So I took the five dollar deal. I go to an expensive salon were I pay a lot, just for a little trim, so my immediate family complains I'm not getting my "moneys worth". Also my hair is suffering from the effects of a thyroid condition now and I have breakage. I'm upset about, because, I'm always looking out for my hair, but, its condition right now is so substanded. I stopped blow drying a year ago in March, I don't use irons, or spray. I tryed a perm once, about 24 years ago, never since. I have the dark blonde everyone wants to highlight, but have not. I avoid swimming pools because of the chlorine. I use soy products to avoid cancer so I won't need chemo, and thus have hair loss. I used only soft scuncis, and hair friendly bottom elastics, and toothless barrets. I use Morrocco method blood of the dragon styling gel. Unforunately Anthony shampoos don't work for me, because they leave my hair grimmy. C. Valley Shampoo bars don't seem to work either.
AJoifulNoise March 27th, 2008, 10:32 AM I would pay $2 for 2" or $5 for 1'. But, I wouldn't want to magically get to my goal length... I wouldn't know what to do with all of that hair if it happened suddenly! It's hard enough to keep up with an inch a month.
cassie_g March 27th, 2008, 10:40 AM Five bucks for an extra foot of hair sounds like a good deal to me. That would put me over classic and halfway to knee. Where do I send my money?
spidermom March 27th, 2008, 11:18 AM Nope - I'm having enough trouble with the length I have. Let the increase come slowly.
young&reckless March 27th, 2008, 11:28 AM I'll pay the Five bucks but only if I can get a free chesse sample with it. No chesse no deal.
Lixie March 27th, 2008, 11:31 AM I now have I'm Gonna Be stuck in my head, complete with accompanying images of the bizzare 80's video. Thanks for that. :lol:
Anyway, onto your question. I voted for your first option - that it's all about the progress. Although saying that, if my hair were shorter I might feel differently. :wink:
eadwine March 27th, 2008, 11:54 AM You are dealing out the money a bit wrong.. two bucks for two inches? That makes it four bucks for four! :lol:
Forever_Sophie March 27th, 2008, 11:57 AM My hair's growing at the perfect rate for me, so I'll wait for the length :)
Islandgrrl March 27th, 2008, 12:40 PM .....lacing up the running shoes. I'd RUN 500 miles to be at my goal length!
tameriska March 27th, 2008, 05:30 PM I too, would go for the $5 deal, If I didn't like it/ couldn't handle it, like many others have said, it would be easy to chop it back.
Angellen March 27th, 2008, 05:42 PM I would do the two inches thing. I think five+ would be a little too shocking for me, but two inches and I could be at hip!
...I voted cheese weasels, though. Because they are just too awesome.
Flying Betty March 27th, 2008, 05:43 PM I'm pretty happy with my current length, but I'd take the foot and swap out the bottom yucky ends. And since this does seem to be magic hair, I'll take mine a shade or two lighter, or to be magical non-bleach damage hair. Right now the nice little highlights I added around my face are broken off at BSL/waist length when the rest of my hair is barely not classic :(
Kittee March 27th, 2008, 05:52 PM I would pay 1k for my goal lenght. (Knee)
growingitlonger March 28th, 2008, 12:32 AM Cheating takes some of the fun out of it, but it certainly is tempting. So how about $2 OR $20 for 2" - not just once but once a month?? That would get me to where I want to go fast, it will give me the sensation of growing my hair and enjoying all the lengths in between, and DH won't realise I'm cheating! I'll arrange a standing order with my bank!
Rae~ March 28th, 2008, 02:04 AM I'd take the extra foot, not to speed up reaching my goal, but so that I could cut off a foot of the henna-tinted ends and be closer to one colour. :)
Naluin March 28th, 2008, 05:57 PM Yes, I'd pay some money for a couple more inches or a foot of hair instantly. My hair is short and going through awkward growing out phases. I don't think the extra bit of length would be cheating; it would be a relief!
Elleyena March 29th, 2008, 12:11 PM I choose...the cheese weasels! Seriously though, I think I'd like to just go through the process. It's kindof fun!
Iylivarae March 30th, 2008, 09:50 AM I'd take the two inches for five and twenty dollars, and I'd also take the foot for five dollars.
But more... nah, I want to see my hair grow... and one foot more is still a long way to go to goal, so... yeah, grow, hair!
Carolyn March 30th, 2008, 09:59 AM Cheating takes some of the fun out of it, but it certainly is tempting. So how about $2 OR $20 for 2" - not just once but once a month?? That would get me to where I want to go fast, it will give me the sensation of growing my hair and enjoying all the lengths in between, and DH won't realise I'm cheating! I'll arrange a standing order with my bank!I'd do 20 bucks for 2" a month. Sounds like a deal to me. I'd love to be able to get it longer and trim more often. I want nice thick quality ends and an even hemline.
lilalong March 30th, 2008, 10:00 AM I want to buy 4 inches right now.
I'd spend up to $20 per inch. But less would be better.
GlassEyes March 30th, 2008, 02:09 PM I would pay as much as I could afford. Which right now, is nothing.
I'd go up to maybe 500, but I'd have to justify it somehow because that money could go to my mom. xD
Anje March 30th, 2008, 03:07 PM I don't know about $20 for 2 inches, but I'd pay $1/inch, or definitely $5/foot.
Now if that were $20 for 2 inches more circumference, you'd already have it (especially if the thickness change is permanent). ETA: Heck, after trying out life with 4.5", I might even cough up another $20 for a nice, insanely thick 6.5"!
kwaniesiam March 30th, 2008, 03:16 PM Twenty dollar for 2 inches of length? Nah...I would totally pay that and more for extra thickess however.
mommabuck March 30th, 2008, 03:51 PM I'd definitely pay 5 bucks for a foot! Would get me past the stage it's in, always getting under my arm, and just long enough when I stand and bend down to my desk it's laying on whatever paper I am looking at.
TheSpottedCow March 30th, 2008, 04:03 PM I meant to select that i would pay 20 dollars for two inches, but clicked the two dollar one instead! Oops. I would also pay 1,000 for goal length, 5 dollars for a foot, and walk th 500 miles.
I also want cheese weasels
moonchaser March 30th, 2008, 06:47 PM If the $1,000 to meet your goal included the thickness I dream of, then I would do it in a heartbeat.
ElizaSea March 30th, 2008, 07:48 PM $5 a foot? I'd pay a total of $20, and be between hips and knees!
Pixel Gypsy March 30th, 2008, 09:07 PM I would so pay for an instant foot of hair! That would put me within a few inches of my goal length. And right now, it's not at all about the process of getting there, but all about the end result. :p I want so badly to try all of these gorgeous updos I see...but I just don't have the length for them. I was just moaning about wishing I could snap my fingers and make my hair grow earlier today when we were getting ready to go to dinner and I was trying to find a pretty way to put my hair up and continuously getting smacked down because I just don't have enough length yet.
Wikky Grrl March 30th, 2008, 11:36 PM to pirate an unnamed credit card co. ad campaign
2" of hair - $2.
12" of hair - $5
cheese weasel - priceless!
:silly:
Dianyla March 31st, 2008, 01:20 AM I actually walked 500 miles once. I didn't get 2 inches of hair, though, instead I just got a lot of blisters. :uhh:
An extra inch or two would be nice, though. Wait, are we talking about hair? :twisted:
Velvettt March 31st, 2008, 02:25 AM Can I just point at the title of this thread and laugh?:D
KnightsLady March 31st, 2008, 02:56 AM I'm not much into cheese, but got totally distracted by the cheese weasels, so I picked them. :D
kettle March 31st, 2008, 01:07 PM Tempting, but I wouldn't. I'm a poor student, and I'll have those inches for free in another few months :bluesmile
And I like to think I've earned my length. As much as you can earn growth that happens anyway!
Delilah March 31st, 2008, 01:52 PM Id pay a thousand dollars for goal length.
Even more if you found a way to thicken it.
WritingPrincess April 1st, 2008, 03:28 PM I voted $5 for a foot, then, as I read the posts, I realized that that would be too much to deal with all at once. Except that I think braids still work at classic length. So, I'll take the $2 for 2".
ETA: I'd much rather take 2" a month @ $2 for every EXTRA 2 inches. That means I don't have to pay for my 1/2 inch a month I get normally. I also want cheese weasels!
trolleypup April 3rd, 2008, 08:40 AM Not poor, but I would walk 500 miles for my goal length...I probably do that every year anyway.
And, being that I'm at terminal, I checked everything else too.
Áine April 3rd, 2008, 12:00 PM Sure. Why not? I just blew $20 on a crappy lunch, I'm sure I could take the hit.
harley mama April 3rd, 2008, 12:07 PM I am in search of that cheese weasel... I have been craving cheese for 2 weeks!
lulabelle April 3rd, 2008, 01:23 PM I'm maintaining my hair at its current length, but it would be nice to have an extra 2 inches that I could trim off the ugly ends! I don't think I would pay $20 for an extra 2 inches just so I could cut some off though, but I'd sure pay 2! And I would definitely pay $5 for an extra foot of hair, then I just might keep it!
Elizabeth April 10th, 2008, 10:50 PM I would do the walk of 500 miles because…a) I am a poor grad student b) I would have a killer body by the end c) I just want to get to my goal like, now! :)
sweetkandi April 10th, 2008, 11:20 PM If I could pay 5 bucks for an extra foot, i most certainly would! :) But 20 for 2 inches? Id rather wait the 2 to 3 months for that one.
1nuitblanche April 10th, 2008, 11:28 PM Hrimfaxi made a really good point that it wouldn't be the same if you could just pay for hair. I was going to say yes, probably for the 2" or the 5", but now I have to think a little more!
Nevermore April 11th, 2008, 12:00 AM I'd take an extra foot every month/two months until I got to my goal length at pretty much whatever amount of money you wanted for it. I only need about three feet worth of hair to be at my goal and I'm finding my waist length hair with layers/growing out bangs to be a bit annoying at the length that it is because it's too short (with the not-waist-length bits) to go simply into a braid and chill out there. I'd love to have hair that's all one length and having some "expendable growth" to cut would be a great way to do that.
Rebelkat April 17th, 2008, 11:35 PM "I'd pay twenty dollars for two inches, if that was my only option, but I'd rather pay two." I think I would. But then I wouldn't feel the satisfaction of having grown it myself, I guess. It's kind of a toss up, really.
zelah April 17th, 2008, 11:40 PM I am far more interested in cheese... and learning what my hair likes best! =) I'm a total DIY'er.
aney April 18th, 2008, 04:13 AM I'd take it... 20dollars isn't THAT much money!
wintersun99 April 18th, 2008, 12:34 PM I would pay more than $500 but less than $1000 - Shoot, my t.v. and laptop cost that much, it wouldn't be a stretch to pay that for my goal length.
rosieposie April 18th, 2008, 12:48 PM count me in! put me down for $5 worth.
Haith April 19th, 2008, 02:26 PM I don't know if I would appreciate my hair so much if I could just pay and POOF have it as long as I wanted, but I think that if I walked 500 miles for my hair goal I would never take it for granted.
Loviatar April 20th, 2008, 05:13 PM $20 for 2 inches, plus extra cheese weasels for me please.
I would want the foot of hair, but I know if I gained a foot of hair overnight I would have NO FRIKKIN IDEA how to take care of it, what updos I could do, etc. So instant foot of hair = bad thing, I think.
Plus it would make for a really weird blog entry!
How about I can pay $20 for 2 inches, twice? ;) That would be good for me.
camillacamilla May 2nd, 2008, 01:50 PM I would pay several hundred dollars to wake up with healthy, split end free hair down past my waist.
MermaidGirl May 3rd, 2008, 04:48 AM Ah, yes, I will take that $5 foot of hair NOW please! :D
nastasska May 3rd, 2008, 05:12 AM "And I would walk five hundred miles and I would walk five hundred more.......":cheese:
Shanarana May 3rd, 2008, 05:12 AM I'd gladly pay tomorrow for a chuck of cheese today. :cheese:
UrbanEast May 3rd, 2008, 01:36 PM I have to admit that it's a bit hard for me to believe that anyone (who's interested in growing) wouldn't pay $20 for 2 inches. Even if you use inexpensive hair products, many of us spend that much over a few months towards products that help us grow our hair. For example, we might buy sulfate free shampoos, aloe vera, etc. Just my 2 cents!
cscheck May 3rd, 2008, 05:41 PM I'd pay, but not because of the growth. I'd love to have split free hair. I just don't think my hair is set up not to have splits. So yeah, I'd pay for split free hair from top to bottom.
Koala Kim May 3rd, 2008, 06:00 PM I vote cheese. :D
Can't go wrong with the cheese. :cheese:
UrbanEast May 3rd, 2008, 06:16 PM I'd pay, but not because of the growth. I'd love to have split free hair.
Exactly. I'd pay just to have thicker ends.
Phalaenopsis May 5th, 2008, 01:18 PM I wouldn't be interested. Hair grows on it own, and I would want it to be fully 'own'-grown by me :)
Beldaran May 5th, 2008, 01:49 PM I'd pay $5 for the foot and then trim back to hip (where I am now) that is way more than worth it for an extra foot of damage gone. It would nearly be all gone for me if that were the case.
