Whose hair "inspired" YOU?

Hi everyone! My first post!

Who had the hair that first inspired you to go long?

For me it was Princess Buttercup in The Princess Bride. :-)

Also my grandma and aunt (dad's side) Grandma wrapped her braids around her head and for years my aunt kept hers in a thick black braid down to her hips. (they had the thick Native American hair, I got my mom's Irish hair haha.)

And, of course, Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi.

Veronica Lake. Always

Ooh! Definitely the ones you posted! Minus your aunt and Grandma of course.

Ever After was also a big inspiration, and LOTR. . . I'll see if I can think of others later.

Probably the two witch aunts in Practical Magic. Love that movie! And the older I get the "witchier" I seem to look, the long hair really fits the part.

I don't recall anyone inspiring me to want to grow long hair. I've always enjoyed having long hair on myself. I had waist length hair in 2007, but chopped it off for Locks of Love. I regretted that decision and decided to start growing again in 2009.

I do want to mention that the person whose hair inspired me to join LHC was Shell. I saw a picture of her beautiful tailbone length hair and since her hairtype is similar to mine, I decided I wanted to be a part of LHC. The funny thing is that she cut her hair so now mine is longer than hers.

I cant recall anyone in paticular but I have always admired long hair!

I have always admired long hair, but I think it was when I saw some youtube tutorials by Torrinpaige, that I started to want my hair long.

Arwen and Eowyn in the Lord of the Rings films are big hair inspirations for me. There's also Rapunzel from Tangled, of course.

There's a lot of classical art that inspires me, too, such as Franz Xavier Winterhalter's 'Madame Barbe de Rimsky Korsakov':

and this painting of Lady Emma Hamilton by Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun:

There are also a few girls who wear lolita fashion that I've encountered online with marvellously long hair, such as this girl: http://www.wei-c-chen.com/fanny/ -- who have inspired me to grow my own.

I can't remember exactly. As a child I loved Princess Jasmine, Rapunzel and Ariel. Heidi and Sissi were also my inspiration. I always wanted very long hair, so I don't know who was the first.
