Do you experience (long) hair envy?

Do you experience hair envy? If you do, is it usually about length? Or maybe color, texture, thickness...?

I voted other. I used to, regularly but now I'm pretty happy with my hair and I don't anymore.

NEVER

It has always been admiration and inspiration :heart:

At almost 68 I am blessed to just be here (alive and on LHC lol) , and have long hair (the longest of my lifetime from age 61)with the support of LHC :grouphug:

Health issues (osteoarthritis & osteoporosis in my spine/joints ) prevent me from attaining super lengths, so it is a joy to see others achieve it :crush:

It also helps to learn about the attributes and care of YOUR hair, so that it can behave as it is meant to, and you can enjoy it; avoiding envy and frustration :thumbsup:

Enjoy every stage ~ bling it up with hair toys and styles :cheer:

Never. I knew I wanted it for myself after seeing a few other girls with long hair, but I never experienced envy or jealousy over it, no. :)

I enjoy and support other people without feeling resentful. Go you!

Desire is a different matter and depends on how attainable the desirable "thing" is. That is a cool hairstyle, can I do it too? I can sure try! Is my hair thinner and the style looks different? Could be. Leave it alone or paranda! I like that toy, can I have one too? Quite possibly. Should I spend money right now? Probably not. Ah well.

My situation is that I sometimes wish I had a different hair texture, It's right between being wavy and curly and it takes a lot of work to make it look good. No 2 hair days are the same and that can be frustrating but then I remind myself that it's part of what makes me unique and when it decides its in the mood for a good hair day it's pretty.

No, I don't envy anyone, but I do enjoy looking at all the hair on this forum. Quite a variety of types, lengths, and colors.

I agree with GG that LHC is a wonderful vehicle for anyone who wants to learn hair care methods. Lots of expertise and experience.

I do feel a twinge of envy about thickness when I see people with long terminal lengths and little taper, but apart from that I'm happy with my own hair.

I don't envy anyone's hair, I enjoy it for them! I desire longer hair, but that's a different story.

I voted rarely, only at LHC, and other. I used to (here) - not real envy as in 'I want what they have and don't want them to have it', but a slightly wistful pang of 'I wish I had that, they're so fortunate'. It was on and off for a while. Nowadays it's rare and usually I just enjoy seeing what others have while appreciating my own.

Momentary pangs of wishfulness do still pop up on rare occasion, usually over consistent thickness/less taper, a full hemline, or less often over texture or a lighter blonde colour. It's most likely to occur when a particular attribute is fairly close to what I have naturally but just different enough to know I can't have it - 'so close yet so far' :lol:
