Crystal Gayle. She looks amazing with floor length hair.

Oh my gosh! That was my inspiration, too!

My original inspiration was Rapunzel in Tangled. I was watching that movie when all of a sudden, I just knew I wanted long hair. It was like something clicked or a lightbulb went on over my head.

She's still my inspiration, along with many of the people here.

Just seeing long shiny hair inspires me. I love hippie styles. Braids and flowers in long, flowing natural looking hair is so beautiful to me.
Even if it looks kinda messy but its long and shiny and looks like it was just air dried, it is beautiful. I still cant figure out how to post pictures into the
post or else I would!

this might sound funny, but i get inspired by how my hair is now that i'm taking care of it, to see how it will look helthly long. (its at BSL now) i want to see how my curls will look long since they are very tight little ringlets.

Ruslana Korshunova (model with knee length hair - killed herself in 2008, I think) was who started it for me and she still amazes me with her hair. She was the first person I'd ever seen with hair longer than waist length.

But Natalie Dormer's (Anne Boleyn's) hair in The Tudors is to die for and my biggest inspiration nowadays. When my virgin hair grows out long I plan to henna it so I can look exactly like her (except she's breathtakingly beautiful, I can't copy that)

What a wonderful photo and inspiration, Sarahbrownie! Thanks for posting! Those Victorian ladies and girls sure took wonderful care of their fabulous locks!

I guess the Victorian women didn't have all the "cones" and chemicals and stuff we put into our hair these days. Plus, it was fashionable back then to have very long hair. I don't understand why today's fashion is either cutting the hair in a weird line, like a slash /// or horrible cheap-looking extensions ASO Katie Price.

(Bolding mine.) When can we bio-engineer ourselves to have a lever like that? I want one!

One of my inspirations was Shakira. I love how wild her hair is, and how amazing it looks when she whips it to and fro when she belly-danced in her older videos.

Curiousity, primarily. I've had my hair hip-length with very little taper, and I've wanted to know just how far it'll grow for a while. That's why I joined LHC - I needed to learn how to put it up and deal with it when it's longer than waist, because I start getting tangly past there.
