First time for long hair?

[paper]

I haven't had hair past my shoulders in about 10 yrs. Having to pull my hair out from under my coat or collar is new to me, and it feels great. I can't wait for it to get longer.

Yep, this is the longest my hair has ever been too. I like being able to reach behind my back and touch my hair from below without having to stretch up. When I do this I really feel that my hair is long.

My hair reached the longest length it had ever been after I joined LHC. The problem was that the pre-LHC hair wasn't all that healthy, so I chopped 6 inches off last July. So I can safely say that right now, my hair is the longest it's ever been and looked healthy. I love it!

And I love that I am growing long hair for the first time in my mid-forties!

It's very new to me as well!
As a child I had TB length hair but I can't remember how it felt like.. so he only thing I remember is having APL/BSL length - cutting it to short-short when I was 14 and then letting it grow out to just above waist until I joined here..

I've grown about 10" since then - and it feels wonderful.. and right.. I'm not supposed to have a short cut I know that now...

This is the longest my hair has ever been. Before it was always around BSL, then I had it cut to rest on my shoulders and heavily layered at 16 when I left school, then grew it stright back out to BSL/Waist for a while.

It's taken so long to get here that sometimes I do just forget about it and don't find it particularly interesting or exciting I think this may be because I'm on autopilot of putting it up for the day and so don't really pay it much attention, but then I'll suddenly notice something 'new' and get all smiley

this is the longest my hair has ever been... ive has bsl before but that was back before my hair got wavyer from puberty..my hair is waist when wet now...... i think im in a growth stall now... well most of you wouldn consider it a stall but my hair was growing almost an inch a month and ive only gotten like half an inch in the last 6 weeks.... perhaps it will speed up when the weather gets warmer.

I had that wonderful feeling of "I love my hair!" this morning while I was combing out my sleep bun. It was so smooth and silky-feeling and shiny. I spontaneously picked up the ends and kissed them. hahahahahahaha Yes, I'm laughing at myself.

me, me!

Because of my addiction to being as blonde as I was as a kid, my hair never grew. I wanted it long, sis had long hair, but basically did not understand that I needed to treat it like old lace. Between the ages of 18 and 26, I had platinum blonde, lavender, blue, green, black, henna (BIG mistake on me) and lots of other colors.

When I was small it was about as long as it is now, but was straight and white-blonde, and it wasn't that long for very long.

This - 25.5 inches - is the longest my hair has ever been apart from childhood. Having it fall down my arm or always leaning back on it is a new thing for me. I'm hoping to hit BSL - 27 inches - this summer so I can finally think of it as long!

I really like having more hair to play with, but am frustrated at the remaining damage and having to trim to keep an even and thick hemline.

for me waist is the longest i have been this was just over 2 years ago, now im 22" long, this will be my first time with healthy virgin long hair since i was 12!

I think 29 qualifies as long hair! I'm at 23" (but a short 5'4") and 29 seems so far away! Yep I'm with you on getting used to long hair. Early high school was my longest hair not quite waist length then. Now with summer coming on wearing camis I feel my hair on my back (re read that no I don't have a hairy back!) and I'm surprised wow it is finally getting longer. I'm learning more new updos and buying toys. I asked the dh if we could go to the renn fair to get hair toys - bless him he said "Wow that would probably be a good place to look for them!"
Although the sleeping thing has to be resolved soon - get used to braid or something.
