What Do You Like Best About Your Hair?

[Angellen]

After seeing a couple posts about users dissatisfied with their hair, I thought it might be nice if we had a thread about all the good stuff: the way your hair looks with just the right oil (or lack thereof), the shine, the bouncy curls--whatever. I think sometimes we are too worried about the little things (frizz, jobs, whatever) and don't realize how lucky we are (healthy, happy, and whathaveyou).

List as many things as you want. That way, when you feel down, you can check back and remember all the good stuff. :flowers:

*I apologize if this has already come up somewhere or if it would be better on the Mane Forum, I didn't see anything like it when I looked*

[jessie58]

I have always loved the color of my hair. Even when I was not happy with length or style, the color is always exactly what I wanted and loved.

[peachy.pudding]

1. Shine
2. Colour
3. length
4. Low forehead

[ladystar]

I love that I have thick hair for about 3 people and its strong I also love the color and happy that I can grow it long.

[lora410]

I love that my hair will stay in stles (once I actually get one down) and doesn't havetons of slip.

I love the softness and shine as well.

[HeavenlyTresses]

I was just thinking the other day that in school my friends and I always wanted something other than what we had. If it was straight we wanted curly, if it was blond we wanted brown.

Now, I love the waves that look like braid-waves and the color. When the light hits it just right I can see the red that comes from my mother. And not to be too vain :o but I love my length too :)

[harley mama]

I love my hair. Even when it is being wild. It took me a long time to do this.
So, it is hard to pick any one thing I like best about it.

[Lavendula]

Good idea!

I like:
* my waves
* colour and shine (although it's not natural, it counts right ;)?)
* thickness

[amaiaisabella]

I like my shine! I also like that it doesn't take too much work to hang straight and lie properly :)

[shell78]

I love my curls and the natural golden color. I've been told by stylists that my color is exactly what people ask them for, and here it is growing out of my head that way. lol

I'm also interested to see how the silver hairs that are beginning to grow out of my part will look as I age.

[Curlsgirl]

I love that my hair doesn't just "sit there" but is always playing!

I love the thickness!

I love that I really don't have to do much to it!

The curls and shine!

[Guenever]

The length -- even though it's far from my goal length -- and the shine.. :redgrin:

[Islandgrrl]

There's really nothing I *don't* like about my hair. I love the red, I love the texture. The longer it gets, the more I love it, so what's not to be happy about???

[Nightshade]

That it's MINE! :D

The length and the color, in all seriousness. ;)

[prosperina]

My favorite thing is the thickness. Even if my hair is not as long as I want, I still have lots of hair. And as it grows, I know I probably won't have a huge taper, and if I do I will still have a lot of hair :)

I also like the waves, the shine and the conversation starting color. The other good thing is that my hair is generally very amiable. There are only a few things it doesn't like, and it normally doesn't throw a huge fuss if it dislikes a treatment or product. I have very easy to get along with hair. :D

[Tapioca]

I love my color. A tad darker than blonde, lighter than brunette, with a touch of red. I always describe it as honey-blonde.

[Lamb]

The color and the curls. I would never dye or flat-iron (or blow-dry straight)!

[littlemiss]

I like on cold days how it keeps my ears warm!!
and at times it blocks out the noise coming from my sons bedroom.

[Alaskanheart]

I like the fact that my hair is a natural blonde when most blondes are bleached ).

I never liked my fineness because its flysaways, and isnt as strong or thick looking as courser hair, But recently I have found out that the most expensive hair in the world to use for wigs and extentions is fine european hair just like mine. So that makes me feel better.

I like how I have waves if I dont use cones and comb hair when its drying.

Great idea ! Ive been feeling a bit down about my hair as of late.

[Vela]

I love my length, the wavies, fairytale-ends(most of the time!), and how in the summer it gets a goldenred tone to it. :D That is my FAVORITE part of my hair!

[Jeni]

I love my shine. After all I have done to it, it still has a great shine! I also love how forgiving it seems to be. I have done some horrible things to it, and yet it keeps growing and is, for the most part, it's healthy.

Jeni

[filiadeluna]

I love the length (and want it to get even longer). I'm proud of myself for not giving into the temptation to chop it off to my shoulders again, since I've wanted hair this long my entire life.
I love that my hair braids easily, even if the ends aren't very thick.
I love that I don't have to do anything but comb out my wet hair for it to be basically stick-straight. Most of my friends are jealous of this b/c they always use those naughty straightening irons.
I love the color, even if it is chemically dyed. And it's awesome that my roots go unnoticed by other people as it grows out.
I love that I can do *so many* different styles with it, though I usually stick to just two or three.
Those are all of the "good" things I can think of for now.

[Feisty Redhead]

My color and shine. When I bump into old friends I have not seen for some time, they nearly always say they recognized my hair color first LOL and I've been told many times the shine could blind someone in bright sunlight. :D

[Michiru]

My favorite things about my are its softness and shine. I also like how even though I have fine hair I still have a 3 inch pony tail.

[Meli]

Oh, this was difficult... I used to like my length most, but that was at 39"... Now I'm just eager to get back there asap and continue grow. Kind of frustrating sometimes, updos that worked before don't work now.

What I like most at the moment is that my hair has got thicker lately. The upper part of my braid is already less tapered than it used to be, and my ponytail circumference will thicken slightly more during the coming months - I have still hairs with broken ends that don't yet fit into my ponytail.

[Quirky&Perky]

This is difficult for me...which just shows me how negative I am about my hair!
okay,
1. Its legnth
2. The color it turns in the summer
3. Even though I sometimes hate it, its little deal in the front. I can't even discribe it. It keeps me from becoming too self-absorbed. :)
4. The fact that its stuck with me this long. :P

[spidermom]

I love the color more every day; those silver hairs really brighten up my mid-to-dark blonde color.

[Anje]

I like my color, the shine, and the fineness of my hair. I don't think I'd be as happy with it if it were course. Oh, and the length. It makes me feel more feminine than I really am.

[WritingPrincess]

I love the way my ends look like they have strands of gold mixed in with the hair. I love the way those strands will glint in the light. I love the feel of my hair tickling my back. I love running my hands through it and combing it. I could go on and on, but I'll stop.

[EbonyCurls]

I love my color.
When it's oily or dirty it's this really natural, dirt/mud-colored flat, yet rich (hard to explain) color. Like dark brown dirt clay color.
When freshly washed and gelled the color is rich and shiny and juicy and looks the color of a cup of black coffee--w/a brownish/reddish outward glow to it.

I love my curls.
When clean they are springy and bouncy and full and have a life of their own.
When dirty/oily they're lank and form in several smooth waves that ripple all the way down to the ends.

I love my layers.
They lend personality and style to my hair and keeps it current w/out having to straighten or use coloring/bleach.

[Suldrun]

I love the color (with henna)

I love that it is growing yay:)

I love that its now long enough for me to put it up

[ILikeTreefrogs]

Probably the silkiness when it's all nice!

[Angellen]

Thanks for all the great responses thusfar! It makes me happy to hear what everyone takes pride in about their hair. :flowers:

For me, I really like my hair in general. I love that it's a deep, black-brown, but that in sunlight instead of having gold highlights, it has these pretty red ones that range from copper to burgundy. (On my father's side of the family there are a lot of redheads, and I always felt kind of out of the loop being half Chinese and therefore pretty much instantly denied the red hair gene.)

I love that my growth rate averages around .75" per month, and that even though I've dyed it quite a bit, my length is in fairly good condition. I also love how my thickness is about 4.25" right now. Lastly, I love how even though my hair is reasonably straight, braidwaves/pillow rollers/etc will last for days. By braiding one night, I can have 2a/2b looking hair for 3-4 days.

[Amoretti]

I love the different shades of brown and red in my hair. In the sun each strand looks like a shining, reddish sliver of light.

[zift]

I always liked the color of my hair and I still do but it's just a bit different from henndigo but still nice to my eyes. And I also like no no love the length of my hair!:cool:

[MemSahib]

I like the colors, soft brown and silver blended like moonlight on the furrowed earth. I like how it feels when I run my hands down the length — silky and smooth. I like the straight waterfall that it is.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/homekeepinggran/Hair/LHCwintersig2.jpg

[AJoifulNoise]

I love the shine, color (yes, I love the two tone), and length. And, I love that I no matter where I go, I have something to play with attached to my head (it sooths my inner kitty).

[alligatorbaby23]

My hair makes me happy in numerous ways.
- The blond streak I have at my nape ( well close to bonde, as I am almost black brunette!) It reminds me of my blond childhood. *Sigh*
-Summer highlights, also copper/golden blond that add to the complexity of my color! I recently had a few Mexican ladies ask me if it was my natural color, why Yes it is!!
-Curl pattern- I can let my hair be it's curly undefined definition OR just put a bit of water in it and twirl, it is agreeable!
-My hair grows fast, now that I have cut damage away, I am so excited, I love to pull the curl out and see where i am "now" by LHC standards.
-the shine that is totally natural health
- The best thing I love about my hair is finding LHC and being able to get the health and happiness back, as well as great friends and advice! If I didn't care about my hair, I would not be here for 2 years, and now with healthy virgin hair, and sage advice for a lifetime. That means lots of love and hugs to all members!!! XOOOO!
-alligator

[Naluin]

I love the color of my hair. It's a very dark brown with reddish undertones. It looks very brown in direct sun, but usually it looks black. I like the contrast between the hair and my face. I've tried other colors, but I missed my natural color before too long.

[WritingPrincess]

I love hearing what everyone likes about their hair. :p

[BrianaFineHair]

Shine. I like my shine. :)

[Lizbot]

For starters, I love this thread... very empowering.

I love the length of my hair.
I love watching what my hair does. It really does have a mind of its own!
I love my natural highlights... especially in the summer when the streak in the front is almost white.

[Delilah]

That it's very shiny and soft.

[jojo]

i love my hair now its totally natural, the different colours from browns to pale blonds to coppers with a splash of silver coming through i just love the shine, the waves and the thickness which has occurred since joining here from a 3.5" to start to a just measured 4.2". I love its length though i still have 7" to go until waist. there's nothing i really don't like about my hair, without sounding conceited.

[Choccielocks]

I like the length of my hair at the moment (BSL), and I also love it's colour both before and after henna.
I also like it's waviness which has taken me a long time to come to terms with (recovered straightening ironaholic)! :couch:

Great thread by the way x

[Melein]

This thread is a wonderful idea!

I love the way my hair feels, and that it's currently the longest it's ever been. I appreciate that it's still here and the length it is despite all the mistreatment my ends must have seen over the years.

Oh, and it can be nice and shiny too. :)

[Shypii90]

I love the thickness of my hair, and that I don't have to make much of an effort to make it look 1980s style, with a lot of volume and curls. This is a strange thing to like, but I personally prefer this to bone straight hair that is volume-less.

Appearance of length is sacrificed with my curls, but I'm very happy with the texture of my hair. 3 years ago I would have done anything to change my genes and grow dead straight, black hair.

I'm happy with my curly, brown hair. Though I wish the colour was a bit darker than it naturally is; it's a pale brown, going into blonde in summer.

[EvilPigeon]

I am happy that my hair isn't really curly,because as much as I love curls, they would not look good on me. I love how shiny my hair is,especially after the henna. I also love my layers...the only thing I really DON'T like about my hair is the length is too short, my bangs are too short and the color isn't as dark as I'd like it to be...but all of that can be fixed with time(and henna!) so I can't complain too much.

[jesamyn]

It's a toss-up for me. I'm caught between loving my shine and loving that my hair has a ton of body, so it looks like I have very thick hair.

[HaiirPEACE]

i love my natural color and how i rarely have bad hair days. it always likes to do what i want =]

[2littlebirds]

I like my volume... most of the time.

[HollowHannah]

When the light is right it looks reddish and I've always wanted red hair.

[annys]

The obvious one to mention is the length but the thing I love most about my hair is how when the sun shines on my hair just right, usually just about twighlight. My hair looks a golden red colour. almost as if it's on fire. which is great because it's usually a boring golden brown colour.
This is exactly what I love about my hair. My hair is a dark honey color, except when the sun hits it just right, then it is this gorgeous golden red.

[Anlbe]

I love that I can put it up with one hairpin, or sometimes even none
That it's easy to straighten or curl without heat
That it has natural highlights (even though I wish it had more)

[Lise]

I like my braid being thick all the way to the end.

[Loviatar]

The shine
The fact I dont have much taper
The colour of the crown in sunlight (not the henndigo bits though!)
The ever-increasing thickness (yay henna)
The fact I dont really need to S&D
The straightness (curls don't suit me but I like braid waves)

[Medievalhair]

I love the length

I love the beautiful red tint

I love that it's easy to put into an updo

I love how easy it is to take care of

[Emme76]

I do like that my hair is easy to style, if I put the efford into it.
I also like the way it feels now...:)!
/Emme

[China Cat Sunflower]

I Love my waves!!! If I put any styling products in it and scrunch it bit, It goes curly. If I just put in a leave in conditioner. It's wavy but it's getting little straighter because of the lenght lately.

I love the fact that my hair is dark brown but when the sun hits it. It's really red

I love the fact that it's just at waist right now.

[AlleyKitten]

Color.
Thickness.
Length.
Shine.
Waves.

More or less in that order, but I love all of these things about my hair.

[Sam-I-Am]

Everything! Thickness, color, curl, length, growing rate, and especially how when I take it down it makes my hubbie go "whoa."

[tennies]

I love the natural color of the hair of my youth after a summer in the sun; dark brown with perfect reddish highlights! Now that I henna over gray the color isn't quite so perfect.

[Blueglass]

The variation in color, and my original texture, before the texture started going crazy on me and the shine. It also tends to grow quickly which is really nice.

[Lixie]

The way it looks and feels in a braid. :D

[aney]

I love the waves in my hair (when they are long), the thickness and since recently the health!

[jojo]

I love the colour, the spirals which have come from nowhere in my fringe and I love that for the first time in my whole life my hair is getting thick ( from 3.5" in aug to 4.2" now!)

ooops! id already answered aw well my memory isnt what it used to be!

[wintersun99]

The shine and thickness (don't know what the real color is though)

[KaeleyAnne]

I love the red highlights that show when the sun shines on my hair. And, of course, I love having long hair.

[Gecko]

My natural color and texture, my hair is so soft.;)

[Remke]

The color in the sun, the straightness and that it's soft. The length is beginning to come.

[willowcandra]

I love my length! Wouldn't want it any longer or any shorter it's perfect.

I love the condition of the virgin part of my hair.

I love the growing white streak (vitiligo may have made a mess of my face but it's doing cool things with my hair.)

[pepperedmoth]

This is so hard for me!

I love my color, even if it is acquired partially through henna.

I love my thickness- I always thought I had the thinnest hair in the world, until I joined LHC and measured my ponytail and realized I have a solid 3"- maybe even a little more. I felt SO MUCH better about myself! . . . but I still wish it was thicker.

I love my waves, even though I think I undersold them in my hairtype there. I have a body wave all through, and the last two inches or so are in very loose ringlets. And if I scrunch when wet, I get loose ringlets all through!! (What hairtype is this?)

I love the fact that at the length I'm at, I don't have much taper (except what the stylist puts in) and my ends are nice and thick (fairytale ends are pretty on other people, but I don't like them on myself).

[Faepirate]

I dunno.
It varies:
When my hair's behaving ok, I like the colour and curls, and the way it feels on my back when I come out of the shower.
However, when it's being rubbish, I like absolutely nothing about it. At all. :shrug:

[Patrycja]

1.my new color(even though I'm still trying to repair the chemical damage.Almost there,though)
2.the overall feel of it.Very soft

[birthmarkie]

I love that it enhances my look in many positive ways. I like the way it falls over my shoulders, the way that it looks in the sunlight, and that it is versatile. I like the way growing it makes me feel.

[tiny_teesha]

that the regrowth is silky? That it is wavey! (although i wish it were a TAD more wavy!) :)

[twilight]

i'm joining this thread because there ARE so many frustrating days!

-i love the texture of my hair. it's fine but still hefty, and i have a lot of it.

-it behaves gorgeously in any style (except dead straight which don't really want anyway)

-i love the little wispies that fall in curls when i wear it up.

thanks for posting this; i will definitely refer back to it!

[MsBubbles]

good idea (to refer back to!). I like how soft my hair is, and it is turning out thicker than I had imagined, too, now I've learned not to rip it to shreds after washing!

[Stephanie]

It's really shiny and smooth looking in the sun. I love wearing it down outside and it feels good against my skin.

[soleluna]

I love my hair color: rich, vibrant, not too brown but not titian red either. I love my iii thickness, the length, and the waves.. with the right routine, my hair isn't puffy ;)
I love to experiment too. I love updos and the compliments I get weather my hair is up or down.
I love the general health of my locks.. I love my locks :)

[Nynaeve]

This is a hard one...
I love the way my hair frames my face when it is down. I always look much better with my hair down.
I love the curl pattern when my hair is behaving properly.

[flapjack]

It's very shiny and soft, the texture is really smooth and glossy.
It grows quickly.
I rarely ever get tangles and I hardly have to brush it.
Lots of colors!

[n3m3sis42]

I think I'd have to say its softness. Even when it's not looking it's best, it tends to be really soft.

[Nevermore]

Everything. I wish it were longer, but I love everything about anyway, if it never grew another inch (though, goddess willing, it'll grow right down to the floor!). I have lovely waves and loose curls and the color is wonderful, though I'm not sure what to call it exactly, any ideas ya'll?

[angelic]

The colour. I admit, that after many years of hating my natural colour when I was younger, I love the fact that people envy the fact that my hair is naturally red. I am now very proud to be a natural redhead!

[Amoretti]

I love the different colours I have; mahogany, brown, rust, dark brown, gold....and it's natural.

I also love how silky soft and shiny it is.
ETA: and my waves!

[paper]

I love that my hair is thick and I love the color and shine.

[LydiaMarie]

I love that my hair is thick and dark . I love how it shines , and how long it is . I like that it has no split ends and its soft.

[silverwoods]

1. Color
2. Managability

[RavennaNight]

Mainly I love the color and shine. The blue-black suits my personality and my lifestyle, and it contrasts my blue eyes and pale complexion. I know its a lot of work to keep dyed hair long and in good condition, but all the experiments and oilings are worth it to me.

[Bellatrix]

Its texture. And my natural hi-lights.

[dulce-de-leche]

I love:
my waves
color
thickness
the way it feels through my fingers
the fact that my husband likes it
I LOVE THAT I LOVE MY HAIR:)

[goldenwaves]

I love my colour and my wave. And I think it's a good thickness too :)

[ZaBasDa]

I like the uber thickness of my hair, and the fact that it keeps my head warm when it's cold.
I like the curly-ness, when my hair plays nicely.
I even like my voluminous poof sometimes.
I love the strength of my hair; multiple bleaches don't phase it.
I love the fact that it doesn't take to color or bleaching and confounds the professionals because it doesn't ever lighten or color the way they think it should.
I love that even under the straightest conditions, regardless of the methods used, my curl finds an outlet.
I love my hair because it is unique to me.

Sorry for the long list; I was having a bad hair moment.

[sapphire-o]

I like my hair's texture. It feels like cool silk. I also like my hair's strength. It resists damage and feels smooth from the top to the end. If I don't have a kid who's hair is more beautiful I'd think it's perfect. :D

[Phalaenopsis]

I love the fact that my hair is fine, it gives a silky effect (I won't mention the tangles and everything :p)

And I really love my thickness (but it's gone for the moment)

What I like most is the colour. It's always different. lightbrown/darkblond... I have a golden shine over my hair.

[Saranne772]

I love the softness and silkyness of my hair when its freshly washed and airdryed and brushed with a BBB

[FrannyG]

I love my hair's shine and softness. Oh, and I like its straightness. :)

[AutumnLeaves]

Not dying it any longer. Such a huge sigh of relief. And I like the extra wide silverstreak on the front left side of my head. Even though it is largely frizzy, I like how soft it feels since I quit coloring it.

[Finoriel]

I like the fact that it´s so easy to handle and behaves well :wink: most times.
I like it´s structure and that it´s growing so fast, the colour is not bad either.
:)

[Marysmirth]

I love the ease of taking care of longer hair, the way it feels, and my natural waves, that I used to torch with blow dryers and flat irons. And I love the new color pattern my silver is making.

[psvzum]

I love the thickness and curls : )

[Tekakwitha]

I really like its shine and sleekness.

[KittyCat]

I like the fact that my hair is so versatile. I can do braidouts, I can set my hair with twists, I can go straight and if I'm lazy and my hair looks bad I can hide it under a messy updo.

[Shermie Girl]

There are a lot of things I don't like about my hair, right now. But the things I do like are that it is respectably thick, grows fairly quickly, has natural wave and in spite of all the abuse and damage, it is still shiny. :D

ETA: And that it no longer has any layers. :lol:

[WavyGal]

I love my thick wavy/curly hair because I really can do a lot with it. I can easily make it curly or straighter (without heat, although I do use heat still since I am often in a rush) . I can wear my hair in lots of different ways. Up down, half up, bun, braid, etc... I also love it because it looks different that all the other straightened hair out. (Not that straight hair is bad, naturally straight hair is gorgeous. I am just not a fan of the fake flat ironed look)

[Cloverleaf]

I like the fact that I have so many more options for styles since it's longer now. Each day can be different - updo, half-up, pony, braid or just wear it down! And I can have braid or bun waves or just let it go straight! I'm currently growing out bang area and trying out new styles there too. Every day is a surprise!

[Forever_Sophie]

I love my length & the health of my hair (v. strong & shiny....kinda wish I didn't highlight, it's naturally much better lol).

[Boon]

The lenght. And how it shines in the sun 8)

[Elle]

I like the color of my hair - I have a lot of highlights throughout from spending so much time in the sun.

I also like its overall health and length. :grin:

[burns_erin]

I love how slick and smooth my hair is, while it is a pain to put up, any time someone touches my hair they just have to call other people over to feel it too.

[Elanor]

I like the color and the bendy ends - they look nice with layers.

[sexyjacksparrow]

I love my curls!

Kerry xx

[30isthenewblack]

I second that. I love my curls as well. Wouldn't give them up for the world :-)

[pariate]

I think this is a lovely thread :)

I love my wurls, I love how soft and shiny my hair is when I'm caring for it by sticking to my routine. I love that I can grow it long and I love the colour.

[Monsterkitti]

I love the thickness and the curls of my hair :)

[ClareDee]

Hmm... I like the colour. It's not a WOW colour like red or blonde, it's just mid-brown, but it has a kind of golden shine when it's...shiny :), which I like.
I think my hair tends to be healthy-looking even though it's not always treated well... A couple of hairdressers have mentioned to me that my hair was in good condition (despite the fact that I do wash it every day, with any old shampoo, and I rarely used any conditioner up until this year). Maybe that's just hairdresser sweet-talk, but hey ;)..

[LadyMoon11]

I love the fine strands- they are very fragile yet so silky. :inlove:
The length.
I love the volume of hair I have.
I adore the sparkley shiny henna red.
The straitness is easy and very shiny.

[EbonyCurls]

I love how healthy it is. Even on bad hair days I think "it can't be THAT bad because it's healthy and I know that for a fact"--somehow that always makes me feel better.

[yrrebwartsymssi]

i love the jet black color of my natural hair

[Xi]

What a lovely thread!

My favourite thing is when I am thinking of something else entirely, and my hair accidentally brushes the back of my arm.

Honourary mention goes to my fairytale ends (which I thought were a horrible defect until the LHC taught me to love them).

[rapunzhell13]

I love my natural colour and waves!

[RavenDream]

I really love how resilient my hair is. I'm addicted to dying it, I tan frequently, use tons of drying products, and heat style more than I'd like to admit. It always bounces back and people always tell me how healthy it looks. On the other side of things, I take care of it with oils and deep treatments too.

[C_Bookworm]

The natural color thats growing out
shine
crazy curls
how fast it grows
thickness

[thunderlilies]

Well, I know this thread got started a long time ago... but what a fun one! So, I have to answer too! My favorite things about my hair right this moment are it's length - I keep getting surprised by how low I can feel it! I also love how heavy and soft it is :) Lovely stuff - heehee!

[winter_star]

Iv'e always loved the colour of my hair when all else fails. It's a dark chocolate brown with natural red flecks. :cheese:

[Little_Bird]

I love my colour, my texture, the thickness and the lenght...
To be honest, other than my shapeless ends/hemline, I love everything about my hair!

[Tangles]

The color: it's dark but has a lot of red undertones that henna brings out, which really complements my green eyes.

The thickness--it's thick enough to still look voluminous at waist length, but not so thick that I can't do lots of updos.

Its fickle character--Some days I'm a 1c, some days I'm a 2c, depending on the weather and what products I used/whether I braided or bunned.

[arylkin]

I like how straight it is, although sometimes I think it would be fun to have natural curls...

[socks]

I really love the length of my hair, but I like most of its other qualities as well. :D I like how it's thick (but not too thick!), how the individual hairs are fine (but not so fine that they are easily damaged), how easily I can control the amount of wave it has(it gets wavier if I rinse it in cool water and straighter if I use hot water, it's nearly straight when I wet bun it, it forms loose waves and loose curls when I leave it down to dry, and it holds braid waves for days since they're fairly similar to my natural wave pattern), how it is pretty tangle-resistant, and how my ends are curly fairytale ends.

[longhairedfairy]

I love that my hair is very soft.
It's not super thick, but it's light-weight and a bit wavy.
It's down to my hips now:)

[Hairytale]

I like the best about my hair that it's actually mine. :) I also like it being virgin and I like it because it grows and is about to become longer than it ever was and it's still there!

[easternsunrise]

I love the color both with and without henna. I love that the length is now long enough for a lot of fun updo's.:p

[granitbaby]

I love the silkiness and of course the fact that it IS growing.:)
And the colour it gets from henna.

[sahiba]

Its softness.

[Dee 08]

Its thickness.

[frodolaughs]

I love the color of my hair and its absolute stick-straight-ness.

[LadyLongLocks]

I like the colors in my hair since it makes some nice looking buns. I like that I grew out my bangs and now I have a nice long center part. The thickness is pretty good too. I will like my hair better when I reach my goal of 56" and maybe go a bit shorter to get back the blunt ends.

[plainjanegirl]

How do you get your hair silkiness??

[dor3girl]

My fav things about my hair: shiny, it's light (or fine) enough to put up in various updos & actually stay all day, it doesn't tangle easily ('cause it's mostly straight hair)

[ssjhotau2]

I love how soft it is. When it was longer I use to hold it in my hand and brush it against my face while thinking or daydreaming. Ofcourse I didn't realize how often I did this until I had to cut it much shorter than I anticipated. LOL

[kunibob]

This may sound strange, but I'm kind of proud of my grey hairs. I think it's because all my life, I've looked at silver hair as something beautiful, womanly and wise. Having a tiny smattering of them makes me feel as if I have finally grown up.

I might feel differently in a few years, but for now, I like them a lot!

[hennared]

1) my hair has great shine
2) I like my waves!

[UP Lisa]

I love the waves. Up until about 3 years ago, I thought it was straight.

[Angharad]

I like best about my hair the waves and it's softness, but it is also very strong hair. I like it how my hair is after a rainstorm: soft and even more waves. I like it when my hair is draped around me like a cloak, shielding me from others (especially when I am in a crowded space).

I also like the fact that I have inherited my mothers haircolour and my fathers waves and thickness; I like being a mix of both of them!

[wimitlee]

Sooooo many fun OPTIONS:
-Down
-1/2 up
-ponytail
-French twist
-Bows, barrettes, headbands, scrunchies, craw clips
-and so much more....

[peachrose]

I love my waves, thickness and colour.

[Madonna-Fan]

I love my waves that I got by using natural cosmetics-products. That´s it!

[Braidmaid]

I love the thickness, the color (brown with tints of red), the waves, and the longer it grows, the length. I consider myself really blessed with what God has given me.

[Lady Mary]

I like the color and the shine.

[Zéphine]

I like that the slight variations in color, the growth rate, and just the fact that my hair exists and I can do stuff with it.

[Charentais]

I have some brown strands, golden strands, silver strands and red strands.

I like the natural multi-color-ishness.

[violetka]

I like that I have a alot of it /pu-pu/.

[Fractalsofhair]

I actually really like my haircolor, though a lot of people in person loath it. It's a nice silvery shade of blonde.

I also like how shiny it is when healthy, and how hard it is to break(When healthy!!!! If slightly damaged... ECK!!!)

[Copasetic]

- my hair can take a lot of product, so I never have to worry about overload, or it being weighed down.

- my hair rarely gets greasy.

- my hair grows pretty quickly.

[Kirzja]

I like my color!
Usually, blond hair becomes darker when people grow older, but my hair is still light. So at my age (22) it is not very common to have this hair color.

I do get a bit offended when people think I bleach my hair... LOL

[Captain Nikki]

I like the length, even though i'm a way off my goal length. I love having long hair! I like the fact that it's never greasy. I hear a lot of people complain about their oily, greasy hair having to be washed every day. At least that's one problem i don't have.

[LilyAV]

I love that I can let it dry straight out of the shower without any combing and it is still mostly tangle free and nice
I love that the fake red highlights looks so nice with my natural colors
I love that it will take to any braids my hands can manage to do
And most of all I love my little accent braid that managed to not die despite being braided months at a time and never trimmed

[Bene]

When it behaves, it does so with aplomb! :)

[paintedmuse]

I love that I don't have to do much to it and it looks good.
I love that I have a lot of hair.
I love that it has gotten wavy (used to have 1b hair as a child).

[Crysta]

I like that it still loves me, and stays attatched to me, in spite of what i may have done to it :(

[Sara Smile]

I've always liked the color, and watching it change color over the years (getting darker). My hair doesn't tangle much, so it's pretty easy. With cone conditioner, it is very shiny.

[Maxs Mom]

I love my long, waist length curls. They make me stand out from everyone else. :)

[enfys]

Hmm, I've missed this. It's been around a while.

I like the thickness because even though it annoys me a lot of the time the styles I like benefit from the thickness.
I like the shine because there's lots of it.
I like how it feels to stroke. No, that isn't an invitation.
I like when it tickles me.

What do I like best? It's location. My head.

[JenniferNoel]

I love my hair's texture and natural color, the way it takes to products (and lack thereof), is incredibly easy to manage, and grows at a decent speed.
I also love the natural taper, which unfortunately has been hidden over the years due to constant cutting and trimming.
It's also very forgiving, it's gone through tons of experimenting, teasing, chopping, bleaching, and day-after-day heat styling, and yet, restoring it was literally as easy as damaging it.

[Ina]

I love that my hair grows fast.
I like that I don`t get tangles often, and I comb my hair once or twice a week.

[RocketDog]

I love that my light natural color allows me to achieve such a firey red with henna.

I love that the 'sticky' texture of my curls works to my benefit in braids and updos.

I love the way the curls look different every day, sometimes loose and flowy and others tight and sproingy.

[scrumtrulescent]

I like the softness -- it's very touchable.

[Vianka]

I like the color of my hair. Hairdressers always try and get me to add highlights, but I always resist.

[Debra83]

the colour, and that it is longer than this time last year!

[Quixii]

I love my curls, especially when I encourage them. <3
In general, I also love the colour.
Overall, I love the length.
:)

[Lady Jo]

Length shine and softness, my lady friends can't resist touching it. Lol

[rhubarbarin]

I love that my hair doesn't tangle! It makes my hair care so very quick and easy.

I like most things about my hair - it's thinnish, but it looks pretty thick because it has so much body. I like my curls/wurls, and my color. I'm just not too thrilled with it's current condition. But with time, that will change too.

[Squeaky]

I like how thick my hair is, the waves, and the color. I have hated all 3 of these things, but I'm learning to love what I have, which feels nice. :D

[silentwanderer]

I actually like my curl size and the fact that my hair stays curly even when it grows long.

[*Rose Red*]

I love the colour, and their are shiny and not damaged.

[nuxa]

I love my curls wen they are moist and defined :)
Wen my hair is longer, I like to shake it till I end up with sort of wild hair ...LOVE IT

[missjessiecakes]

I love...
The thickness. I mean I have enough hairs on my head for at least two others.
The ringlets I get when my hair is cut really good. (read layers lots of layers)
That my hair even when bleached, blowdried, flat ironed was like silk.

I might come back and add.

[GermanCurl]

I love my curls and the thickness:)

[LittleOrca]

I don't remember if I have replied in this or not, but I love my waves when the behave.

[Hiriel]

I love my hair colour. It can be hard to describe, because it seems to change. Sometimes, and in a certain light, it's a dark brown, sometimes golden brown, sometimes auburn brown.
I'm also loving my thickness more and more. I always thought it looked nice, but it makes my hair very warm in summer, and makes it harder to handle. But I've learnt fancy updos here that will keep it off my neck, and I've realised that it will become less of a problem as it gets longer, when it's not as thick compared to its length as it is now.
I also love that it doesn't tangle much.

[aaperez]

I love my hair when it is fresh from a shower and dry ^_^ the light and free felling is great

[ShadowSwallow]

I love how my hair seems (to me) to have the perfect balance of m/c strands and just enough wave to give it body but not so much that it's unmanageable. Plus the shine and color. And the fact it's incredibly low-maintenance. :D

[lesbia]

my hair are so soft!!!

[practikalmagik]

I love how THICK my hair is. I got it in two plaits (one each side) today and they are about the size each of some people's entire hair. I also love the way I can just wash it, leave it to dry and it looks wonderful.

*pets hair*

[MissThorne]

I love the way my hair looks when the sun hits it.
Ps. great thread, very positive. :)

[handsclean]

I love how thick it is :) I may have to revisit my hairtype.. I believe I am an iii. I also like my curls, on a good day haha.

[MissManda]

The things I love about my hair. . .

~ My thickness. I love how much hair I have and how thick my braids are/were (I want the Lara Croft braid again). It makes people jealous, ha ha. I also like how people are deceived by it. When it's stick-straight, it's all silky looking and I love the look of shock on peoples' faces when they actually feel how much I have. One day I can go silky-straight, the next, I can go in huge, loose bun waves that really show off my thickness! :D

~ My texture. I love how fine my hair is. It feels like a thick curtain of silken threads down my back and I love to wear it down when I'm wearing tank tops and such because it feels so lovely on my bare skin. It is also very fluffy. So, so soft.

~ My hair is strong. Despite being fine, it is very strong. My friends with coarser hair than mine experience more breakage than I do. I actually think my hair is somewhere on the finer side of medium because of this.

~ Its lustrousness. I remember when I was in grade school and all of the other girls were very jealous of my hair because it was so long and shiny. I love the way it shines in the sun.

~ It is easy to style. It goes straight when I want it to. It curls and waves when I want it to and holds it really well. It is mostly cooperative. It can be pretty stubborn sometimes, too.

~ Its color. I really like the golds and reds in my medium brown hair. People have described it as chocolate, mahogany, golden, and chestnut. I like how my hair lightens in the sun so I have multiple shades of brown in it. Some dark brown, some golden brown, some mousey brown. I love it.

There isn't much that I dislike about my hair. . .

[Katurday]

I love my coarse yet soft hair.
I love its thickness.
I love how it loves to adapt to either straight or curly.
I love how it shines for me no matter what I do.
I love the color thanks to henna.
I love its smell, weight and warmness.
I love how it provided me with a wonderful hobby.

[BranwenWolf]

I like that it's natural golden blonde without me doing anything... the sun works on it a bit because I'm outside. I went red for a bit but I'm happy with it au natural.
But, it also has about 4-5 different colors in there. It's naturally streaky and I even have a few black/dark brown hairs here and there.
It doesn't seem to tangle much.
It's pretty thick.
I have these naturally glossy, almost synthetic-like strands that sit on top of the bulk of my hair. Seriously, it looks like barbie hair, they're so shiny all the time and I do very little. They also pick up a lot of sun highlights.
You can see it a bit here (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/album.php?albumid=3403&pictureid=43296), they're the brighter strands. (this was from when I went red)

It fits my personality- I like being different.

[Cherry_Sprinkle]

I love its color.
I love its length.
I love the way it smells.
I love the way it feels.
I love the curls LHC has given me.
I love its warmth in the winter.
I also agree, I love the way my hair looks when sunlight hits it (thanks henna!)

[Sissy]

I also like that it doesn't take too much work to hang straight and lie properly :)

ditto! hanging straight and properly is something I'm getting happy about.

I also love my length and am growing to enjoy my color more.

[ItalianFlower]

My CURLS! And the color. :)

[Locksmith]

Mine is well-behaved and easy to look after! :D I like the colour - I think it suits me. Also it's silky-soft and strokable, and often very shiny. :D

[Princess J]

The length, though I want it about four inches longer.

[curlylocks85]

I love the fact that my hair is naturally curly and is easily manipulated into a wavier look. Versatility is a wonderful gift I am grateful I received it.


I also love the thickness. It really keeps me warm during the winter months.


I love how soft it has become since I have changed my hair care habits.


The color is something I enjoy. I am a natural brunette with natural red and blonde highlights. Thanks mom and dad. LOL.


This is a good thread thanks for posting!

[rach]

that the length which i previously damaged has recovered due to allot of TLC and henna and the split ends have minimized greatly.
my virgin hennaed roots (chem free and never touched by heat) which now i guessing past my ears feel so silky and i know as time moves on that it can only get better :D

And i adore my colour!!!!!

[InTheCity]

Color and shine, hands down.

Except the ends, which I'm working on.

[Fiferstone]

When it's healthy, the things I like best are the shine and softness. Now's the healthiest it's ever been, thanks to what I've learned on LHC. :)

[Naava]

-I love the way it makes me feel
-I love the body that my hair has and that it makes it look thicker
-I love the versitality of my hair, it's easy to make it straight or curly without any heated appliances, but it also looks good the way it is
-I love it that it looks healthy
-I love the lenght I have been able to achieve
-I love the strenght of my hair, parts of it have seen a lot of bad things and survived

[marobader]

frist bueatiful hair :)
I like that is quit thick

[jaine]

The only thing I'm eager to change at the moment is the length ... I like the rest of it ... waves, color, shine, texture, and thickness (as long as it's thinned out and/or texturized a little so it's not too overwhelming).

[Twil]

I love its color--a chocolate brown with strands of blonde and red and black running through.

[AgnesONutter]

I do like it when sunshine hits it, and it sparkles in gold and copper. In indoor lightning, I like my natural highlights.

I do like the silky lengths, and how light it feels when it is newly washed.

I do appreciate that it is easy to take care off, most of the time, and am ever thankful it is not as prone to tangle as my sisters hair (her hair tangles as if it was fleece, at times).

[Brownie]

It fits my personality- I like being different.

That's what I like best about my hair :D

[lol21]

that its thick wavy hair. and not pin straight though I must say sometimes it gives me problems, but I like that its not the curliest of hair either,

cuz very curly hair is hard to maintain

[Sammich]

The wavyness at my shoulders, i don't have wavyness the longer my hair grows though. (Maybe my upper layer, who knows? I haven't had it bra strap for 8 years!)

[Katrina]

The length and color. I'm not the biggest fan of its texture, but otherwise than that I love my hair :)

[Lianne]

I love its softness and shine, especially after I've done a honey rinse - wonderful!

[walterSCAN]

I love my softness and shine too! and the color now that I've hennaed again... Dark red/auburn at the roots fading to almost black at the ends! :bounce:

[aililiú]

i suppose i love that i have some natural copper in my hair.
and the fact that it used to be stick straight (1a) and now im more of a 1c. horrah! how rad would that be if it got even wavier? *hopes* :p

[Kelli Kat]

I love the color of my hair, especially when I have it in a pony and have black and red stripes. That sounds weird but it looks cool.

[Yedda]

I like the natural dark color of my hair and how straight it is.

[sft88]

I do like how curly it is when it's not frizzy. I love my color. It's chestnut brown with blondish highlights and auburn lowlights.

[Tonks]

At the moment, I'm loving the way my hair looks with braid waves, and how smooth and silky soft it feels the day after I oil it.

[feralnature]

I love my hair because it looks healthier than just about anybody else's that I know. It is lush and glorious! :)

[Imoness]

I love the color of my hair.

and that's about it for now...

[Qadupae]

I love how easily my hair takes in henna and indigo. And even though it fights me whenever I try to do hairstyles, it is just my reminder that my hair is strong and healthy in its own way :)

[meowmeow]

I love the colour, I love the way it feels, I love it's shape and texture, and most of all, it bounces when I walk. :D

[Pumpkin]

I love the shine that I have now. Amazing what NOT blowfrying will do for your hair!! :)

[elina333]

I love the texture and volume of my hair when I get it right :)

[Laylah]

I love the thickness, length, color, texture, and inexpensiveness of my hair. come to think of it, there's nothing I dislike about my hair... well maybe the effort I have to put into it.

[girlcat36]

It dries fast. That's about it.

[-Lisa-]

I really like the thickness and length.

[rosyaddie]

I like the shine, thickness, and color of my hair. :)

[vealimi]

It's the blackest black and becomes silvery white with reddish undertone under sun or strong light.

[ambism]

I like how silky it feels after I wash it.
I also like how easy it is to style and curl.
I like its ability to change colors.
I like how I have a "gold" patch of hair on my left side.

[merryhair]

I love my hair color and slight waves it has.:)

[Journeywoman]

The fact that it is completely natural - I grew out my blonde years ago, so now it is silky, virgin hair. Also I believe it grows quite fast, which is great considering that I want it to be much, much longer.

[Liss]

The wash & go ease of maintenance
Air dries quickly
golden shine in the sun
fine natural highlights
not prone to tangling
blinging shine under a flashlight
smooth blending of the natural and highlighted parts
silkyness
even hemline
it's strength even though it is fine
not prone to splitting
it's not slow growing like I used to believe
it looks like it's thicker than it really is
I like that people like to touch it. I'm not 'hands-off'

[peronella]

My favorite thing is the color. its a dark ash brown.

[christine1989]

I like the color of my hair and I LOVE the fact that I never get split ends.

[Nanni]

I LOVE my color of my hair and the fact that I don't have to wash my hair to often since it doesn't get greasy so fast.

[ravensinger13]

I am embracing my curl, and the fact that I can braid or bun and leave it, with minor adjustments, until the next wash day.

[saskia_madding]

I try to remind myself that everything I don't like about my hair usually has an upside too.

My hair is thin - on the other hand, it doesn't weigh as much, so when it's long it won't feel as heavy as thicker hair.

My hair is on the finer side of medium and breaks if I'm impatient while putting in blunt hair toys - BUT ... it rarely gets split ends, either where it breaks or on the ends.

Some days I wish my unruly but still relaxed curls would be perfect spirals - but then I think about how I wouldn't have the patience to deal with ringlets no matter how gorgeous I think they are.

[Hana]

It recovers very quickly if I do naughty things to it. Resilient.
Its quick to tell me what it likes and doesnt like, and I'm obliged to listen.
And top of the pile - it keeps my head warm. :D

[windchijmes]

I love my hair because it's healthy, and strong. I've never had to take extra-special care of it, sometimes I don't even condition, or I'll blow-dry it to hell, or go through hair-rebonding, hair dye, etc. However, at the end of it all, my hair always remains shiny and and smooth. Even my oily scalp is tolerable. In fact, I think my hair is the healthiest part of my body, that's why I love it! LOL.

[Leena7]

I love my hair texture. It is very smooth and silky no matter what I do to it.
I like the thickness of my hair too. It is manageable, but not thin.
I like having fine strands of hair because the sheds are harder to see on clothes.
I love my natural color, even if I like to change my color sometimes. I like having medium brown hair. It looks good with my skin and eyes.
I like the way it hangs too.

[oceanwoman111]

I love how I can toss it to one side and not see the person on the other side of it.

Going to start calling my hair "her" because I'm tired of calling her "it"

I love the natural red and blonde highlights that are coming out now that I've stopped darkening her with semi-perm color. Embracing what nature gave me. ;)

[oceanwoman111]

Oh, and it grows really fast!! Had it above shoulder length 1 year and 10 months ago and I've done lots of trimming because of the severe layers. Will post some pics when I figure out how. :)

[Benjamin_T]

I like best:

- The strength & natural glossy shine of its individual strands.

- The unity, strength, & beautiful glossy sheen produced when all its individual strands are put together into an updo or ponytail.

[Monsterkitti]

I love the shine and how soft it can feel :)

When the curls are working I love them :)

[italianamama]

I lovelovelove my natural, almost black, reddish highlights haircolor. I've never wanted anything else, and it's never disappointed me :D

[minuteofdecay]

I love the colour of my hair, after all the different colours I've dyed it I've realised I want my natural colour to grow out, which it is, and it's beautiful.

[Olde Soul]

--Shine
--Color (after henna)

[Jordan S.]

It's thick

[Keep It Flowin]

I love the different shades of brown and red in my hair. In the sun each strand looks like a shining, reddish sliver of light.
ditto... we have similar hair and color

[Princess J]

I love that my hair is naturally straight, I don't have to use a straightening iron/hairdryer and I can leave it to dry naturallly and it remains straight and smooth. I also like the length and colour, and the shine.

[autumnsdaughter]

I like that my hair is flexible- I can make it more straight if I want, and I can make it more curly too. I like that my hair has a lot of volume, even though it isn't super thick. I like that my hair doesn't tangle easily. I like that my hair is always longer today than it was yesterday! :p

[Cirafly24]

I like my natural wave pattern, and the fact that it will get straighter/wavier with a minimum of help.
