    Default Longhair forever?

    Having spent some time on LHC I have watched people grow long but also cut short or disappeared from the boards.

    I know we all share the same goal, but who here thinks it will be forever? A long time?
    And who can imagine going back to shorter hair not too long from now? Getting bored?

    I think this may be really interesting.

    How long is your...:
    Starting Length?:
    Current Length?:
    Goal Length?:

    How long have you been growing?


    You feel the urge for change:


    Do you like shorter styles?


    What could be a reason for you to cut?


    And what reason do you have to keep it long?

    How long is your...:
    Starting Length?: Shoulders with layers
    Current Length?: getting close to tailbone
    Goal Length?: long enough to sit on the ends

    How long have you been growing?
    1999

    You feel the urge for change:
    Not a big change. I cut off 5" last year and was happy with that small change but now I'm growing it back again. I've done changes in the past and never once maintained a new length. I've always started growing again immediately. That should tell me something.

    Do you like shorter styles?
    Yes but only on other people.

    What could be a reason for you to cut?
    Thin ends, too much taper, or my hair gets to an annoying length. I'd never cut it short but I would cut a few inches off.

    And what reason do you have to keep it long?
    I love it long and I can't think of a single reason to have short hair. Having long hair makes me happy.
    _____
    Bottom Line:
    I can't see ever going above the longer side of mid back. I think long hair is ageless. I plan to have long hair forever if I can.

    How long is your...:
    Starting Length?: 25"
    Current Length?: 40"
    Goal Length?: 42" It's my half body golden ratio+ 2" for curl bounce

    How long have you been growing?
    2004(self)/ 2006 (LHC)= 5 yrs.

    You feel the urge for change:
    No, I cut it off in 2004 and felt like I was missing something. It took me less than a week to regret my choice and start growing it back.

    Do you like shorter styles?
    Not on me

    What could be a reason for you to cut?
    My or my partners health

    And what reason do you have to keep it long?
    I feel like I am missing a body part when its short. I like the way it feels as it drapes on my back. I also like the way it looks.

    How long is your...:
    Starting Length?: A bit beyond shoulder
    Current Length?: Just past waist
    Goal Length?: Undetermined

    How long have you been growing?
    2005-present= 3 years, give or take some months

    You feel the urge for change:
    On ooccasion. More in the way of color than length. Though, that does flit through my mind sometimes.

    Do you like shorter styles?
    I remember being happy with shoulder length, though I don't like seeing that length on me in pictures.

    What could be a reason for you to cut?
    Thin ends. Needing to break away from who I have been and try something new.

    And what reason do you have to keep it long?
    Because I like my long hair. I enjoy all the pretty updos I can do. And, I like being different from everyone around me.

    Bottom Line:
    I've been thinking about this a great deal lately. I'm only 23 and I don't know what the rest of my life will bring. There's no telling what I will do with my hair for the rest of my life, so I won't kid myself by calling myself a life-long longhair. But, for now it is what I like and a part of who I am. I don't see myself cutting in the next year other than trimming.

    How long is your...:
    Starting length: on my neck, longest strand from the top measured 5 inches.
    Present length: passing tailbone.
    Goal length: Classic, thigh length.

    How long have you been growing?
    Since 2001 = 8 years.

    You feel the urge for change:
    Only when my hair is being bratty.

    Do you like shorter styles?
    Yes, but I've had them all.

    What could be a reason for you to cut?
    I'm too old and decrepit and senile to take care of it by myself (or very ill).

    And what reason do you have to keep it long?
    I like long hair the best. I got all the hair cuts and perms and colors that I wanted to try out of my system before I began to grow my hair long.

    Bottom Line:
    I can't believe I wanted so long to grow my hair out! It's so pretty (in-between times of being absolutely awful, of course).

    How long is your...:
    Starting Length?: It was one of those angled chin bob, stacked in the back things when I started. Oh and I had bangs
    Current Length?: It hits the middle of my bra strap, about 26.5"
    Goal Length?: Hip or TBL

    How long have you been growing?
    I last got a "styled" cut in the summer of 2006 I think and decided to grow it all out about 2 weeks after. Joined LHC in March 2008 (almost a year ago!) when I realized I could grow my "OMG thin" hair longer then BSL.

    You feel the urge for change:
    Mostly change in color.

    Do you like shorter styles?
    Yea, they can be cute (I do like the angled bobs) and I did like how when my hair was short it wouldn't tangle and I could do anything to it and it never looked unhealthy. I didnt like how bowling ball like my head looked though.

    What could be a reason for you to cut?
    I could see me cutting it back to BSL or waist if I don't like it at hip or TBL or if the taper is just too bad and I cant improve it.

    And what reason do you have to keep it long?
    The majority of my life I have had my hair long (long in real life NOT LHC) and I think I just look better with long hair. I also am lazy and really bad at getting my hair trimmed every month which is needed when you have a fashion cut. I also like the attention I get when people see my "long" hair (most people around me are APL so BSL is looong).
    _____
    Bottom Line:
    I cant say I will have long hair forever but I think it is likely I will have long hair for a long time. Who knows when I am a little old lady, maybe I'll get the "old lady do" or maybe I'll be the hippy lady with long white hair.

    Starting Length?: shortest ever was collarbone
    Current Length?: lower BSL
    Goal Length?: Hip

    How long have you been growing?
    I started actively growing for length this past october (200 I had a cycle of grow/cut for a long time before that.

    You feel the urge for change:
    Not too much. I used to, but I think I grew out of that. I changed my color alot, damaging it and making me need to cut.

    Do you like shorter styles?
    Yes! But only on other people!

    What could be a reason for you to cut?
    Something tragic?! Combine Tractor accident?

    And what reason do you have to keep it long?
    I never liked my hair when it was above a certain length...I know that now and I don't ever want to grow it out again.
    _____
    Bottom Line:
    Barring something cataclysmic I will always have very long hair. I may cut some layers or change my bangs, but I don't ever want hair above lower BSL if I can help it. It just makes me feel beautiful! I look at it like an accomplishment.

    How long is your...:
    Starting Length?: It was between waist and BSL when I cut it to between chin and shoulder top in order to get it highlighted for growing out my gray.
    Current Length?: BSL / 24"
    Goal Length?: Classic

    How long have you been growing?
    About 3 years since the cut for growing out my gray.

    You feel the urge for change:
    When I have several days in a row where nothing I do with my hair looks good to me.

    Do you like shorter styles?
    Yes, but not on me. I have too much wave for it to stay in any one style.

    What could be a reason for you to cut?
    If I stop enjoying it long.

    And what reason do you have to keep it long?
    I love to play with my hair, I love the way it feels on my back, I enjoy having a unique look. I love the variety of styles I can have.

    Bottom Line:
    I think I'll let it keep growing as long (with a little trim now and then) as it stays thick and I enjoy it.
