What inspired long hair for you?

I lost my hair to chemo in 2016. Makes me never want to cut my hair

[Braided Lady]

Laura Ingalls Wilder. Not from the TV show though. The Little House on the Prairie books were my favorite treasures as a young girl. I distinctly remember reading about how her mother's braids were long enough for her to sit on. And all the different ribbons and bonnets I insisted my mom make me a calico dress and bonnet to play dress up in

As I got older I discovered Little Women and Ann of Green Gables who also inspired me. I am such a bookworm. I seriously can't wait for my DD to learn to read so I can read all of them with her.

I thought for sure there would be more Caroline Ingalls inspirations in here, but this was the only one I saw. I loved the description of her having hair long enough to sit on when she got married, and I immediately knew I wanted hair that long. So I got my mom to stop cutting it, and while I still haven't reached my goal, because of a big cut in the middle of growing it, I'm still super happy with my long hair! And 'Ma' Ingalls is why my current goal is classic.

It was a lady who lived in the neighbourhood. She had a very tight bun, she was beautiful and so was het daughter. One day I was walking around (i was 8 years old) and she had taken her hair down after swimming. It was braided, but came to her ankles. I never forgot that. And maybe the aunt's from Practical Magic. I wanted to become just like those aunt's
