At what age did you start to grow your hair long?

[paper]

I started to grow my hair at 45.

I started around the point I turned 19.

I *wanted* long hair from age four or so, but I only was allowed to do so when I was 12. (Youngest of four children born within six years. Kinda rough on Mom getting us all out the door in the morning, so it was kept short until I could deal with it myself.)

This year at age 39 It's never too late!

Which time? Teens, Twenties, Thirties, Forties...

The quest continues!

(But now I'm longer than ever before... So maybe I'm on the right path.)

I've been on a quest to grow my hair long my entire life, but I kept getting lured down side paths of cute new styles. This is the longest my hair has ever been. I haven't been lured into a new hair style since 2001, although I did cut back from nearly waist to APL because of damage in 2005.

I've always had long hair except for one chin-length cut when I was about 9. I knew I wanted long hair again after that and I haven't cut more than a few inches a year since then.

Hmmm, I wasn't really sure what to vote. I put 0-10, because from 6-21, I had long hair. I cut to chin length at 21 just to try something different, but I've always been long-haired at heart, so I started growing it out again right away. I cut it once more to chin at 25, and have been growing it out to my original length at 21 ever since. Just about one more year, provided my growth rate remains steady!

My Mother started to let my hair grow from day one By the time I was five, I had hair to my waist! She kept it trimmed, but it stayed in two long braids all through-out elementary and middle school. In high school, I finally had the guts to cut it to my shoulders. That started the "grow-out" then cut to bob routine I was in for years.
