Hi and welcome to the forum!

Got a shoulder length haircut when I 13, and wasn't a fan of it at all. I've always wanted to long hair ever since I was little kid. I have a 2 girlfriends that inspired me to grow my hair long. One was at my churh. She had ankle length hair, and the other one was at my high school, and she had hip length hair. My friend at my church had the most beautiful wavy/thick ankle length hair I had ever seen! And, the other in high school also had the most beautiful hip length curly/thick hair I had ever seen! For a whole year she wore it curly to her hips, and the next year she had gotten it chemically straightened, and it was still to her hips. From then on I've always wanted to grow my hair to my ankles.

Welcome Esinklee

Giving up heat and embracing your natural texture is the best thing you will ever do for your hair!

My story is helluva long but put simply, I had classic and beyond hair until I chopped it off to chin at 13

: from then it was a spiral downwards of constant dyes, straighteners and THEN BLEACH, I loved my platinum hair colour and bleached back and forth between dark- to purple - red - bleach - dark -bleach and repeat , never getting beyong MBL until a stylist left me with a chemical cut and severely damaged hair that had to be cut back to chin Dec 2017, I went to another stylist who colour corrected and we decided to carry on bleaching until about Sep/Oct 2018 when I got tired of dry strawlike hair that inevitably would turn yellow at the drop of a hat and went cold turkey on all heat, dyed out the bleached ends to match my virgin roots.

Now I am aiming for virgin Classic, I love long hair and find it fairytale like and SO BEAUTIFUL. As someone with quite alot of tattoos I also feel it adds a softness to my look that I want.

and again WELCOME!

Hello Everyone

Here is a story of my hair.
From the start i like short hair but not too short. My mum's demand always to increase the length of my hair. So there is always a conflict between me and mum so i decided to grow my hair not too much but a medium length.
But due to water issue r my negligence my hair became thin and even dead at the edges.
Then i trimmed my hair monthly and apply some oil.
After few months it came back to normal but i never get back like earlier.
But i set my goal to grow my hair with proper care so that i get them back shiny and thick.
This is my quick formula to solve the problem of hair thinning and get your hair shiny, thick and long.
Take an oil added 1 lemon in it or a vinegar.
Then massage your hair roots with it with the gap of 1 day.
It will surely working.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

I've had MBL hair all of my life up until now. I have WL hair! My goal is to grow my hair hour to terminal length. I really want to see how long it will get. I've never known what my terminal length is. So, I'm here to find that out. I've always wanted extremely long hair ever since I was a little kid but my mom has never tried growing out my hair too long. She would always keep it trimmed up to a certain length, and I've always known it could grow a lot longer.

I know another good way to get healthy shiny hair is to deep condition it once or twice a week. Or, deep condition with hair masks once or twice a week. Plus seal in the moisture with any type of oil you desire.

Hi everyone I’m Gretchen! I hope you don’t mind sharing my hair story.

I have very fine blonde hair, but there is A LOT of it. Since age 12 I kept my long hair up in a ponytail for about four years straight. I dyed it rainbow once, and then all pink, then a box dye to try to get back to my natural color, then just decided to get a very short pixie cut when I was 16.
Having short hair boosted my confidence by 1000%! I hated how I looked with long hair, and kept it short for three years. I washed and used heat on it every single day, and the damage was really starting to show.
As I grew up I embraced femininity much more and wanted to start growing my hair out again, just to see if I would like it. That was one year ago and my hair is already just past shoulder length! It’s very healthy and soft and I love how it makes me look and feel.
My hair goals include looking like a magical fairy/witch who lives alone on the edge of the woods and people in the town are afraid of me.

I wash my hair every other day and do a coconut oil treatment on it once a week. Going in for my first haircut soon to even out the layers from the pixie cut. Wish me luck!

For me my story has always been quite comical
From like grade4 to grade7 (age9-12)my grandma combed and oiled my hair with regular cuts
The longest my hair was in grade 7 was apl/bsl
my vice principal had asked me to braid my hair in 2 plaits
The next Monday I came to school with chin length hair that couldn't be braided (yep I was a rebel )
One month later my grandma was trimming my hair and I was just standing there waiting for her to finish when I glanced at my reflection in the mirror
Turns out she trimmed my hair till it was only 1 cm -3cm long
Grade 8 :I did nothing with my hair but I had a ****** for watching hairstyle videos which I tried out on my sister's hair
Grade 9 : I started braiding my hair in the middle of my ninth grade
Grade 10: I found out about LHC through the YouTube channel coffee and makeup
And I started 2018 (around the end of grade 9)with shoulder length hair and ended it with MBL hair
Right now still in grade ten and one inch away from waist
( I hope my eyes aren't decieving me )
