    Mine's in a grow out from a pixie too! Long story short, I chopped it last spring in support of a cancer patient (family) who was devastated to lose her hair.....it did help her feel better, but I felt like a boy for forever and a day. It's finally a couple inches below my shoulder..............but I am aiming for at least waistline. Although....in high school it was mid-thigh. ;) Mine grows fairly fast....can't wait for it to get longer than it is....it's driving me nutso!

    Been growing my hair for over 2 years so far and it's about level with my bra strap at the back, but only shoulder lenght round my face. It wont get much longer than it is now, but I want the layers out. It started out in a very short pixi cut hence still having layers. I've had it trimmed once a year to get rid of the split ends. I use heat on it about once a year, the rest of the time I leave it to dry naturally
    I've got typical British hair, the texture is fine, but I've got quite a lot of it, and it's wavey enough to frizz at the slightest excuse. I've started to use organic Argon oil on it & it's made a huge difference.

    Im a curly girl! Sometimes I'll wear my hair straight, but I achieve that by flat ironing maybe once a month. No more relaxers for me! It's gotten much longer than it ever did when I relaxed it. Somewhere around mid-back now when straight.

    Oh, and coconut oil has done wonders for it!

    I'm 10 years natural with locs for 9 years! I am 17lbs away from my first goal of 50 lbs and plan on cutting my dreads at that time, still going to be a natural girl. I have already started purchasing my products and doing my research :) I'm def going to be a co-wash girl!

    Noooooooooo don't do it :smile: A little bit of me dies everytime I see someone cut off their beautiful locs.

    I'm 5 years natural. I've ony been growing my locs for 18 months though so after 9 years my feelings may change. Right now I LOVE them, going natural was the best thing I ever did!

    My hair is 3 1/2 feet long. I can sit on it. I usually wear it up in a bun though, especially when it is hot. My husband loves my long hair!

    Mine is about 1/2 way down my back. I'm growing it out and once I reach 100 pounds lost (15 to go) I'm going to my hair dresser (yummy) and letting him have his way with my hair!

    I really love it that there are so many long-hairs and gettin-there-long-hairs on here! :-)

    One of my big motivations to lose weight it I want to be thin by the time I reach tailbone. I remind myself of that when I'm craving junk food. So far, it works!

    So, does anyone have any hair toys? I have several feather fascinators, a wood hairstick from Timberstone Turnings, an amethyst and mother of pearl hair fork, and some silk flower combs that I've made. What does everyone else play with?

    I have been natural for a year now (BCed on July 8th of last year). My hair is still short :grumble: but my first goal is to get it to shoulder length. My ultimate goal is to get to mid back or so. I LOVE the pink Shea Moisture products and Coconut oil. I still have a ginormous box of hair products that I’m trying to use up from my "research" and "experiments" when I first went natural but after that I’m pretty much sticking to Shea Moisture and Coconut oil.

    Count me in! Over the last year or so my hair has gotten a lot longer...and I love it! :) It's about waist length and is curly/wavy. My mom always said that I'd cut my hair when I got older...but I'm nearly 38 and it's here to stay. :)
