Long hair sighting thread!

**kwaniesiam** · May 17th, 2008, 02:45 PM

As a courtesy to others and in acknowledgement of the fact that many members here would object to people taking pictures of them and posting them online without permission, we likewise ask that no one post photos of others without their explicit consent. This is especially true for photos typically known as "street shots" that appear taken without the subjects having been made aware.

I thought this would be a fun thread to share sightings of long hair around you, any interesting stories, given compliments, etc. If there's already a thread like this, mods feel free to let me know and delete this, sorry!

Today I saw the cutest little Indian girl with two braids all the way to her knees, each one three times thicker than my entire single braid ever was! She was with what looked like her grandmother, her head was covered so I couldn't see her hair, but the little girl's hair obviously had been well cared for.

Ok so this isn't really a sighting because it's just me and a friend, but I quite like the shot! Her hair is hip-lenght I think.

My best irl chick friend has hip/tailbone length hair, which is the second longest hair I've seen around here, so she's a sighting that I have often :P. I've been trying to get her to wear it up more because it's always down, so she's having trouble growing it longer because of the splits necessitating trims.

The first longest was a lady I saw in the parking lot at Lowe's, wavy red hair that was almost knee length. I was busy staring at her in awe, because seeing a REAL LIVE IRL PERSON! with hair that long was a first for me, while worrying that she'd look over and think I was some kind of weirdo.

I never have any sightings...really, never!

My former coworker had light-blond (natural) hair down to below her bum, somewhere between there and her knees...I haven't seen anyone with that long hair since I last ran into her! (4-5 years back)

Here in the south it's so hot (I guess that's why), there aren't too many people with long hair--everyone I know has "mama cuts" it seems

.

This thread made me think about two girls I went to school with whom I would try to sit behind in classes in junior high because I SO admired their long hair! Wish I had pictures of them from behind now--they both cut it in high school <sigh> and I haven't seen them in years anyway.

I, too, had a friend in grade school with the thickest, most beautiful blond braids below waist length. She always wore braids to school, but each year, guess who got the part of the angel in the Christmas plays - yep, and that was the only time we ever got to see her with her hair down and unbraided. When she entered junior high, she cut off those beautiful braids, and has worn her hair very short ever since.

I looked at this picture wondering why it seemed so familiar and then noticed that Olvi on the table...

Here's a funny update-- I just went and had a conversation with the owner of the lovely black hair! We exchanged names and plan to add each other as Facebook friends, lol, and I mentioned this site. She sounded interested, so she may end up here as well. I love happy endings!

Long-hair guys are somewhat normal around here, but I had a fun thing happened today:

A co-worker has dark blond, thick, blunt cut hair he always wears in a ponytail. It used to be near his waist and then he cut it to APL or so. (He got compared to Legolas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Legolas600ppx.jpg when he had the longer hair).

Tonight at an after work party (a roast), he was speaking about how our manager (female) was admiring his hair or something (I missed the comment, but it was positive as our workplace is pretty open), and since he never wears his hair down, that night he purposely removed his hair band and shook out his hair and gave a certain look in his eyes.

It was great because his hair was not only in great condition but he "worked it"!!

Okay, who was it...

I saw a thick, shiny, gorgeous head of black, just shy of classic-length hair on a lady at Railway Square, Sydney this morning. I really wanted to chase after her and tell her how much I admired it.
