new thread
I don't understand why there have been approximetley (2) people on this board who have called me a "lier" saying that I have not grown my BANGS out for 1 year which I have...it's true...I just have a wavy form of hair. it does not show my true lenght...when the hair is straightend using a hot tool, then it shows. so from here on in I don't wan't to hear any more bull s**t about how long you think I have been growing my hair, when I am the only one who would truly know!
Well, I see where those 2 people were coming from. If your bangs have been growing for a year, that is the slowest growth I have ever seen. You had to have had a lot of trims. (which is definitely not necessary)
Logan had shaved the sides of his head of a couple of months back, and the hair on the top was all approxamately one length. So that would have been 10 months of growth at that point? I think not.
If growing your hair (and being at the one year mark) can include plenty of trims then i question what growing your hair out actually means.
The other replies to this post (other than by SOAD) are of any use at all. Calling somebody a liar is not counter prodctive when they are lying. I would argue that ascertaining the truth is the post productive thing that one can do.
Logan, you are a liar and have not been growing your bangs out constantly for a year.
First of all, you are not correct in your reply furher up this thread that curly hair grows at the same rate as straighter types of hair.
Hair can be curly, wavy, straight, whatever and grow at completely different lengths, regardless of its type.
15cm or 6 inches is a standard AVERAGE rate of growth. Some people have a fast rate of growth, while others like Logan have a slower rate.
When you combine the fact that he has curly hair, that only exacerbates the effect that his hair hasn't grown a lot in a year.
You also haven't factored in variables such as stress, nutritional intake and the phases at which his hair follicles have been in, which may play a part in especially slow growth.
Instead you have made a strong judgement on another persons character, on more than one occasion and based on erroneous beliefs that haven't taken into account all the factors.
On a purely social level, I can't understand why this toopic has incited such intense interest on your part. If the guy went out of his way to post a thread saying he was ofended by your original remarks and that he specifically wasn't a liar, why not just let the matter lie, why emphatically state that "Logan, you are a liar" again?
If you had to interject yourself into the matter again, why not rather say that 'listen Logan, maybe you have unintentionally gotten your dates wrong' ?
Even though his hair does look short for a year of growing it, that does not automatically mean that it hasn't been a years worth of growth.
It certainly doesn't automatically mean he is a liar.
You dig?
Unfortunately not, no, I don't dig.
Truth is important, having threads based on lies is never a good thing.
By the way, seeing as I am talking about truth, the thread a while back about the abusive wife, cutting off hair in the guy's sleep. That was totally fictitious and was posted by Tai Fu as he was pissed at the board.
keep it truthful,
Sambo
I KNEW IT!!! It seemed ficticious to me, and now that you mention it, the diction was like Tai Fu's. Oh, well...
Bragi, you are a moderator, do you think it is time for a new format of the board with password protected user accounts to keep the site and messages in check?
If money was required to implement this then I would be more than willing to contribute my fair share.
Even if user accounts were password protected, that would never stop some people. All you have to do is create a different user name and log on under that one when you want to 'be somebody else.' Then if you set an avatar, you have to get the picture from a source that was not the source of the first account's picture you set up so that the source of the pictures can't be matched. Even if the password protected site checked by ip address which it probably would not since you have a password, you can change your ip on your computer to the backup or you can log on from somewhere else. No system is totally insulated that I know of (I'm no computer guru). Unless you were moderating the newly created accounts or checking every message that was posted, some would still get through even with that.
So, this is a really good board like it is, and everybody does the best they can keep it running smoothly.
Most other boards I have seen are a real free-for-all (and they are password boards). This is the best one I have seen actually.
Hi Logan,
I think that it really doesn't matter how long it took for your bangs to grow. I'd just like to offer support since you want to grow your hair now. You got a good start, and there's still some way to go - all not a real problem.
Sorry if some viewers got a "hang-up" with your time lines. I think they should have said "That seems rather slow growth" if they think so, instead of using the word "Liar". Don't let it get to you - just keep growing, even if it takes some patience, and feel good about it.
Best wishes,
Hans-Uwe
Actually, in the first post you made about growing anything for a year, you never specified it was your bangs you were talking about. You just said "it's been a year" and went on describing your problems. The people that criticized you at the time weren't wrong; you weren't clear enough in your writing.
I have to agree with SOAD, though... Have you had trims?
I agree. Sambo should have not accused you of being a "liar".
That is not very nice and is counter-productive.
Hang in there dude, your hair is going to look great with extra length.
Okay, so bangs at one year should be 6 inches long BUT that is assuming
the hair is very straight. Yours has curls so maybe you lose a couple of inches right there.
Never mind what some people say; who cares whether or not they believe you...
...only YOU know the truth and that should be good enough for you.
Good Luck!
Your hair doesnt grow slower if it is curly. It will still grow at the same rate and have the same length as if it was curly. THe only difference is that to the untrained eye it will appear shorter. If you pull the hair down the curls do not show, and the true length of the hair shows.
That's my point exactly: when something has waves in it , it appears shorter. So some guys get a bit discouraged.
But eventually the length will start to show and that will bring a smile to the face of the person in question.
I am not complaining I am new also but why not show a picture of your hair straighted with a hot tool and comb it down strait (over your face) to show the length of your bangs. Also while you are in the process of growing your hair out do you plan on just letting your bangs continue to grow.
hi logan,
i saw ur pic a few posts down and i am glad that you are enjoying your hair becoming longer ... (and btw it is coming along good !)
and i 'm glad you'r happy about it ... so let it grow LONGER and LONGER and don`t let a i-net community decide about your hair ...
to this thing about other people on the net ...
u should not give too much attention to people, who only know you from the net (this may also include my post but it is my impression that your hair is coming along good) ...
they only can juge you about your posts and pictures but i think theres a big difference in knowing a person in real and in internet ...
hair grows (sometimes unfortuntately) in different speeds on each persons ...
we have alot of "over-normal" fast growers here and that maybe makes some persons believe that normal or slow-growing hair persons don`t have a grow success (which is imho crap and i hope that we 'll see more people with normal or slow growing hair here) ...
plz - don´t be discouraged by such comments like "ur hair grows damn slow / stops grow etc" ...
"inet" doesn't always speaks the truth ... and therefore it's people also won`t do ...
might to the slow growers - they need the most patience and hair care :))
greez and i hope to see more update pics from your mane in a few months :)
ALH
You know full well what you have. Pay no attention to the fools.
Logan
Wow I sure hope Im not one of the two that says your a liar If I am im truly sorry because I dont know there is only one person that knows the real truth and that is yourself like you have posted above I know that your sides & back are very short as you did shave them pretty short !
Take Care
Axel
