Hair Gallery: Extra long hairstyles

November 27th 2009 11:43
It takes several years to grow your hair past your hips, and because of this it is an extremely rare thing - these days, there aren't many people who are patient enough to wait that long. Because it is so rare, it is also extremely special. Regardless of the colour and texture, extra long hair is ethereal, magical, and above all, incredibly beautiful! If very long hair is what you're after, I hope this gallery is an inspiration for you to stay patient and keep on growing.

Super-long hair will be beautiful only if it looks healthy, shiny, and well-kept. I personally think not everyone can pull off this look well - the trick to gorgeousness with super-long hair is a healthy glowy FACE (with or w/o makeup). Skin with too much acne will subtly influence the look of the hair, and the person might come of to look like someone who has not been to a salon in ages, i.e. does not bother/take effort to take care of herself. Just my two cents.

I agree - it definitely has to be shiny and healthy to look good. Long straggly hair will give you a witch-like appearance (and not in a 'sexy white witch' kind of way!)

I always emphasise health over length... and yes the face is important too, but in general if someone has a good diet, exercises a few times a week, drinks enough water and has a good daily beauty routine, they'll have both gorgeous hair and clear skin. If not, there may be something wrong with their hormones, in which case it's time to see the doctor and let them sort it out with medication or something similar.

Thanks for the great comment.

Where it says... "It takes several years to grow your hair past your hips, and because of this it is an extremely rare thing - these days, there aren't many people who are patient enough to wait that long."

Yeah, I am 5'10, with my hair being a good foot past my bum, i recently cut my hair to sholder length and it grew at least to the middle of my back within 6 months. I guess it varies for everyone...

Yes, I also agree with you, Journeywoman.

That's a pretty amazing growth rate you have there! I've got my diet and exercise routine optimised for fast growth (click here to find out how I've done that) and yet my hair still only grows about an inch a month.

As you say, however, it's different for everyone. You're one of the lucky ones! Cheers for commenting.

i dont even want to imagine how much time you have to spend in the bathroom and how miserable the idea of washing your hair must make you at that length..

i still crave that last picture's hair though!!!
(i've never been able to grow my hair more than shoulder's length but im seriously doing it now!!!)

I think if they were miserable, they'd cut it! Also, long hair is actually easier to take care of than short hair, as it's a wash-and-wear style. Thanks for the comment though melia.

I personally think hair length that's past the elbow is generally already considered too long. But that's just my opinion though. It may work for some people - like the 1st picture, love it!

My hair is to the middle of my thighs and yeah, it's sometimes a pain in the arse. Sitting on it, my boyfriend getting tangled up in it at night, and the hours it takes to straighten it are all worth it though, to be constantly be told by people that they want my hair.
And I've never considered it miserable to pamper myself in the bathroom for a few minutes more managing my mane. Actually, it's relaxing and the end product is well worth the time. And the styling possibilities are endless.
My natural color is much like the girl in the last pic, but with the underside dyed a dark brown. I have it cut every 2 years in 'long layers' so that I have some hair in the front that can hang out when I wear it up.

I'm over 40 and love my long hair. It's below my bra strap, and it's thick and luxurious. It's fun to take it down in the winter after having been up all summer and everyone says, WOW you have a gorgeous head of hair. I figure like yall, not everyone can actually HAVE long hair. I can, so I will! Thank you for this post!
