hey everyone
GlassEyes, I was just wondering because I was seeing your avatar and your hair looks really curly... How long did it take to get that long so far and how long is it? :P, because with the curls one can't really define length.
My hair is curly but much looser than yours, and I was worried about the awkward stage I'm starting to go through, but after seeing your avatar I felt better because your hair is so much curlier and it looks way longer than mine :). It's inspiring me to keep mine growing however bad the awkward phase may be for me!
Well done!
For other curly haired people, how long did it take you to grow your hair out until it started looking long? And exactly how curly is your hair? :P.. Mine is.. I'm not sure how to explain it. You can see in this picture.
Thanks a lot everyone
Shawn

sorry people, heres the pic of my hair's curly-ness
still can't see it Bro
Well, my hair now, if I stretch it out, is a little past shoulder length I think. I've cut it once, but to get to this length it took me about...a year or two maybe? I haven't been keeping track because I didn't really care for a good long time before I came here and to the LHC.
It's a pain to grow curly hair because you can almost never tell if it's growing or not (Indeed, the only way I know is because I have henna roots :) ), but the end result is wonderful, at least in my opinion. Just have faith.
But the awkward phase is HELL for curly hair, as you've realized. I sometimes think I'm still in it. If you get bugged by it, try using gel. It's what I did to keep my sanity and make my hair seem like it was growing down until it actually did grow down.
Well, I've been growing my hair for 2 years and 3 months and haven't had one single trim along the way. Some might consider my current length long but in my eyes, I am far from LONG.
Anyway, click on my avatar and you will see how it looked a couple of months back. The pic is around 3 to 5 months old, I've had some growth since then but the difference isn't very drastic. Also, I'm not sure if I qualify as "curly". My ends are curly, in fact, sort of like ringlets but the upper potion of my hair is wavy.
Hope this helps.
Hey Shawn,
I have curly hair as well. It's so hard to tell with curls. I would almost have to say it depends on how much curl you have to your hair or how tight the curl is. I would say u just have to let it grow and see. Everyone's hair is different. The up side to having curls, u can wear ur hair straight of natural. When i want to add length to my hair, I iron it =/...
I know this isn't much help =/
Take care of you and keep the hair growin =D
