    I ticked off "I want to look like a...." but I don't actually want to look like any of the things listed. I want to look like a superhero, or a fantasy warrior woman. You guys can be elves, I'll be Eowyn.

    I have a somewhat boyish appearance in both face and body. I'd like to try and balance that out with long hair.

    I want long hair for a lot of reasons. I like the 'wow' factor of long hair. I like the feeling of it, not just against my skin, but running my fingers through it too. I like the low-maintenance aspect too - just comb, oil and braid and I'm ready for another day! I also like how it takes a long-term commitment. I value my long hair because I know how much patience it took for it to get where it is now. I can only imagine how strong this feeling will be once I have been growing for longer.

    I love the feel of long hair, taking care of it, having my husband brush and braid it.

    Actually I've had longish hair (shoulder-length) for many years. It'll probably defy expectations more if I chop it really short! But I want longER hair that is also healthy and shiny. I've not quite been able to achieve that as I was lazy to take care of my hair in my younger years. In addition, the moment the weather got too hot, I'd get a haircut. So now, I'm determined to grow out my hair again, with the proper care it deserves. I want to prove that I can do it! ^^

    I didn't vote because my answer isn't listed. I first started thinking about growing my hair when learning about water conservation. I have to wash my hair in some way (cowashing works, though) every day because my pixie would look completely insane in the morning. I would also use less product if I could wash less. So I guess eco-friendliness is my reason?
    Growing out short hair, bangs, and bleach/dye abuse all at once. Hold me!
