Long hair...

Try to wash your hair once a day, with both shampoo, and conditioner. And don’t forget to brush it, and blow dry it!

You’ll see compliments from all the pretty girls come rolling in. You’ll make all your friends jealous!

: D

@ Crow: So is using products a bad idea? Well I think washing my hair as regularly as it needs to be wouldn’t be a problem, but I guess I’d just have to wait and see :tongue:

Haha why do I have a feeling that thats some nasty sarcasm? :razz:

Actually, it’s not. I’m being completely honest.

What do you think the members of Led Zeppelin did with their hair? :content:

Um… I don’t know. He’s such a girl about his hair. It’s niceee though.

Now that you mention it Robert Plant’s hair is curly but very cool, its like it falls perfectly and still remains curly. Man I want that :cry:

Haha so WCH has long hair? :cool:

No, not really, just longer than the typical ‘guy’ hairstyle.

well i had longer hair some time ago, and i washed it at least once a day didnt blow dry 'cause it always got mesed up by that and used conditioner and used a hair sraightener when it really had to lay down :smile: was quite some work and afterwards i shaved it all off xD
anyway i liked them too just that they dont fit me and as such everybody told me that i look way better now ^^

Interesting! How long did it take for the hair to reach a ‘‘falling limit’’ so to speak :razz: . In other words, how long did it take for the hair to become sort of stable in a way that it reached your desired results.

<2.5mm rocks.

I miss my long hair. I no longer look good with it. I look pretty damn good with a shaved head though. I even take the raisor to it. OMG that reminds me. I had a dream lastnight that my hair had grew back after I had cut it the day before. I really did shave it in waking life, and I was amazed in the dream, because my hair had grew back so fast. lucid opertunity gone. I have alot of dreams about having long hair, and I love it.

I pretty much let my hair grow out for 1-2 years, cut it, let it grow back…it’s easier than constantly getting hair cuts. I have curly hair so it’s probably more annoying that it’d be if it was straight (curly hair takes longer to try, and gets tangled easier)

hair products will damage your hair. so it’s up to you how healthy you want your hair to be (especially down the line). the only hair products I use is shampoo, and sometimes conditioner. I think using a brush/comb is the most important factor if you have long hair. brush it while it’s still wet and you’re pretty much fine from getting tangles.

you should be happy with what you have. love yourself for who you are (both superficially and spiritually)

this is pretty common for me the first few days/weeks/months after I cut my long hair. I’ll look in a mirror in the dream and think “wow, my hair is growing back fast”. ugh, so many missed signs :sad:

My hair grows really fast and I’m lazy about cutting it, so I spent most of my life with pretty long hair. It’s been short for a couple of years now, but I’m letting it go again because maintaining the shortness is aggravating. That said, long hair takes work. When my hair was really long it was kind of unfortunate, mainly because I was a little kid and didn’t like to properly care for it. Here’s my advice:

  • Don’t wash it too much. It just dries out your head, and then your scalp gets oily faster to compensate, so you have to wash it even more.

  • Right after you wash it, comb it. In my case this gets it organized enough that I never have to really brush it, but I have no idea how this works for other people, especially those with curly hair.

  • KEEP IT OUT OF THE WIND! Wear a hood or something. This was my problem, I hated wearing hoods, and the wind, especially in winter when it was all dry, destroyed the ends of my hair. It was really nasty.

  • Don’t put junk in it or heat at it. This just isn’t good.

  • and this is not really necessary, but since I wash my hair in the morning, the night before I put a drop or two of some kind of oil (I use jojoba, I think) on my hands, rub it into my hair, and brush it through with the bristly kind of brush. This is probably just my own weird thing, but I think it helps keep the shampoo from drying it out too much.

So! There you go. Enjoy your hair, I guess? :smile:

I let my hair grow for more than a year, for the first time, and sure it was quite different. Your hair suddenly become a much bigger center of attention; they need to be washed more often, takes longer to shampoo and dry, need to take more precautions not to get stuck into something (they did it all the time with my glasses :tongue: ) … even if they were a bit cooler, I decided to end the streak recently and reverted to very short hair XD

It’s quite the experience though, and I’d recommend it trying it at least once, just to know what’s like for you to have long hair, it’s all the little things that can make the difference for you, for the best or for the worst.

Haha, when I cut my hair for the first time in… wow, almost four years, I realized I had developed all kinds of weird tricks for keeping it out of things - apparently when spitting toothpaste into the sink I would unconsciously hold my hair against my chest with my left arm. Cue short-haired me making strange arm movements and then looking confused. A couple times a day, for a week or two. I hadn’t even realized I was doing it until it became unnecessary.

Very interesting what you said about the wind chambered_nautilus, I always drive with my windows open, and the wind really messes both sides of my hair, even when I have short hair. You can see that the sides are dry because of the wind, and the rest of the hear is moist because of the water. It’s very annoying since I love to drive with windows open, but I hate having my hair like that :sad:

@Tosxy: Yes I should try it once in my life at least, and thats one of the reasons I really want to let it grow, because when I get older, the chances of having long hair are pretty small. :razz:

I agree with Tosxy. I’m no guy but I still hate my long hair. It grows too insanely fast and is annoying to take care of. (Seriously, I don’t know that many girls who like long hair anymore). I suppose if your hair is nice and thin and easily manageable. Shrugs My advice, don’t grow it in summer.

I used to have REALLY long hair a couple of years ago (I think that was 2005). It reached all the way to my clavicle (just below my shoulders). These days I go get my hair cut when it starts showing up in my eyes. Long hair is just really annoying (especially for a guy who doesn’t like to care for it).

But in a recent dream I had much longer hair. Perhaps my subconscious prefers long hair…

And when I got it cut in 2005, I had the same problem with the toothpaste and the trying to keep my hair out of the way. I kept swiping at thin air for a week or so lol. :happy:

My hair used to go lower than my waist, it even got in the way if it was a ponytail. So last year I cut it boy-style and I haven’t regretted it. Though I have to admit I am growing it longer now. But that’s just me, I simply enjoy the change. When I get bored of it being long again I’ll cut it.

thats wicked, i can stick hundereds of pencils in my hair and pul em out as needed when im drawing lol… like a despenser.
… my hairs afrolike :wink:
