Long hair has always been popular in human culture - for both women and men. Thanks to his hair, the biblical hero Samson received his inhuman strength, princess Rapunzel's hair allowed her to escape from the high tower, and braided hair symbolized youth, beauty and even independence among different peoples.
In the contemporary world, the fashion for different hairstyles changes from decade to decade, long hair went in and out of the thread - but there were always people who took care of their hair with love. Of course, modern cosmetics provide great opportunities in terms of hair care - and people are willing to use this.

4 Year Hair Growth With No Hair Cuts, Not Even Trims. From Yesterday, Back To Senior Year Of Hs (2018)
My Mom Used To Cut Her Hair Short And Perm It, But Since I've Been Caring For Her I Let It Grow. She's 93!
Sometimes I Don’t Know If I Want To Put It Up Or Let It Down. As You Can See It’s Everywhere . Lol
Wow. Those eyes. I may be falling in love with those eyes and that smile
36 Inches Of Curlzzz !
I vote the most beautiful hair I have seen here. It is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!
By the way, in many cultural traditions of the peoples of the world, it is forbidden to cut long hair or, moreover, to shave - both for men and women. For example, Sikhs are forbidden to cut their hair throughout their entire lives, and their religion considers compliance with this ban to be one of its most important attributes.

Saying Goodbye To My Pandemic Hair; Chemo Starts Next Week
Oh nooooooo! I hope you get better and we hope to hear from you again!
That really sucks, I got cancer and I have had long hair all my life. I lost a head full of waist length, thick hair, it fell out a little at a time at the beginning of chemo, but suddenly, it just fell out all at once during a shower. Traumatized!! To say the least. All of that said to tell you this. My hair came back growing faster, thicker and curly! You see, before chemo my hair was long and thick, ya, but it was a straight frizzy hot mess. My hair grew back so fast it was to the bottom of my butt by the time 2 years went by. It's so much nicer than ever and I literally have strangers complimenting on how beautiful it is. After chemo hair can grow back totally different, it can change in color, texture and growth speed. God bless you and hope this gives hope.
Your very sweet. I had cancer as well but surgery took care of it. I went though some bad trial drugs as well, but never had to go through chemo. I'm sorry yall have to go through that. My love goes out to yall that have to use chemo. I am in full recovery for now but I have non-functioning neuroendocrine carcinoid syndrome, so it can come back. I hope you have a happy life and enjoy everyday, I know I do.

Chemo and Cancer in general Sucks! I'm bald right now and I'm still here. My husband helped me by cutting and then shaving my head. As difficult as it was for me, it was double for r him I think. It brought us closer than I thought possible. Good luck with chemo and Goddess willing your hair will grow back. Small price to pay considering the alternative.
Wish you all the best! Please keep us updated! I'm a 34 year survivor!!! Hope you're on this side of cancer soon!!
It's just hair sweetie, nowhere as beautiful and valuable as you. God's grace to you.
Prayers and good vibes to you! Have you considered donating your hair?
Hope it all goes well for you and that you'll be able to grow your hair out again soon. ❤️
Hey, just stopped here to send some love to all cancer surivors here *hugs*
My thoughts and good wishes will be with you! I hope you're able to grow it back.
You go and fight the good fight and come out of it better and stronger then ever before... Sending positive energy for a speedy recovery... take care!
My mom did chemo . . . she was just as beautiful without hair as with. Radiate from within!
Obviously I don't know what is wrong with this gentleman but I had chemo for bowel cancer during lockdowns and looked like a Wookie by the end.
You'll kick cancer's a** because you are amazing... just like your hair!!
You're so see you seamless chemo treatment and a quick recovery from cancer.
Have A Lovely, Happy, Funny Week Lovelies. Keep Smiling:))
Interestingly, according to some studies, women are more predisposed to have long hair - after all, the hormone estrogen, which, in particular, is responsible for the lifespan of each hair, is present in the female body in much greater quantities than in the male one. So it turns out that the "life span" of a woman's hair is on average 2.5 times longer than that of a man's.

Probably the most popular bearer of long hair in modern culture is Rapunzel from an old German fairy tale and, more importantly, the famous Disney cartoon. Devoted fans specifically calculated the length of the princess' hair and got about 70 feet. By the way, in order to make Rapunzel's hair look realistic on the screen, a special computer program was made to calculate the movement of almost 100 thousand individual strands.

Now That I'm In My 40s, I'm Finally Letting My Hair Grow As Long And Wild As It Was When I Was 9
But in the real world, someone has even broken the record of a Disney princess. Asha Mandela from Florida entered the Guinness Book of Records back in 2009 when her locks were almost 20 feet long. Now, thirteen years later, the woman can boast 110 feet of her locks.
If, according to statistics, the average American spends about $77.17 a year on hair care, one can only guess how much her hair costs the world record holder. However, such beauty, we are sure, it is definitely worth it!

The ends look so much healthier! I need to do that too, my ends look just like ur before cut pic. Your hair is beautiful.

Hair Finally Hit The Back Of My Knees. I’d Always Said This Was The Length I’d Cut At. Now I’m Not So Sure
It's beautiful, just give it a little, and I mean little trim and it keep on keepin on. It's just so pretty.
The amount of respect I have for these folk for dealing with brushing this much hair to look beautiful and not just a bunch of tangles is a lot. It's always the tangles that convince me to lop it all off and donate again.
Honestly, I have til bum lenght and it tangles less than shorter hair. Partialy because I wear braid or ponytail more often. But yeah, somehow it works differently.
Load More Replies... Suffering from SERIOUS hair envy now. I could probably manage mid back but... And the gentlemen, oh my goodness *fans self frantically*
Now I feel like I should finally get that trim and take care of my hair better. It's thick, curly and at my butt and definitely could use some love; haven't dyed it in about 9 years and I have some pretty awesome gray hairs growing now
I don't have long hair but same as you, haven't dyed it in 9 years and embracing every single gray hair I get.

I miss my hair sometimes. Had red hair to the middle of my back. But then I started going bald, so I shaved it off. Growing my beard out now, thinking of putting some beads in it.
35 Years ago (I was 7) I had hair halfway down my back. I kept insisting to my mom that a "Bob cut" was what I really wanted. She said no but I pestered and pestered. Eventually she gave in and said "fine!" I don't know what 7 year old me expected but I hated it. I cried for 2 weeks. After that, I said I'd never cut my hair again. Other than a trim, I haven't. Today, my hair is just past the back of my knees. I've never dyed it and the last perm I had was in grade 7. I take care of it. My hair is the one and only thing I love about my physical appearance. Please, before I am judged, 5 years ago when my sister was diagnosed with cancer, I vowed that when she needs it, I will absolutely cut it for her. Along with her, I think I can provide at least 2 more people with a head of hair.
I struggle with mine because it’s hip length and I’m disabled so washing it is a full day job but I don’t feel right without long hair if that makes sense.
That absolutely makes sense! I am not disabled but a few weeks ago I had double surgery and so washing, conditioning and wrapping a towel on my head has been a huge struggle. I can't imagine struggling everyday for the rest of my life so I am truly empathetic towards your situation. I really wish I could help you ❤️ Do you have someone who could help you? If you don't work or frequent an environment that is dusty or greasy and keep your hair in a braid, pony or bun a lot, you shouldn't need to wash your hair more than once a week. Also, if you don't use product in your hair, you're good for a week. Change your pillowcase twice a week if possible too. If you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it. I am unsure of the cost but if you can swing it, call a hair salon and ask what they charge for a wash only. Maybe a friend or friend of a friend does hairdressing as a side business. Don't suffer if you can help it.

My oldest son is 9, and he has been growing his hair out for the last 3 and a half years, from 1/4 inch. It is now to his shoulder blades. Blonde with natural red highlights, thick and gorgeous with curls at the ends. I am jealous of my own sons natural hair. 😅 But I love his hair, he does too. He is growing it out to donate to Wigs for Kids.
I quit cutting my hair after making the mistake of trusting a new stylist and ended up receiving a terrible Short (K@ren) cut at the start of 2020... pandemic gave me the excuse to avoid the salon... now my long silvery blue hair is halfway down my back! Just like when I was a kid- I love it
A decade of growth would be a couple of inches below my shoulders. I now use clippers as I can't handle having hair touch my face or the necessary care of even normal short hair. Love these long tresses. If riding a motorbike with long hair, plait it to stop it getting knotted, shredded and full of junk.
These are all great. The dedication it must take, how long would some of these heads of hair take to wash and dry! I have a short enough head of hair and it takes it's sweet time drying.
I hope everyone who decides to get their hair cut donates it to Locks of Love or another charity for people dealing with cancer or alopecia. Your stunning hair needs to be shared.
I've always loved long hair. My sister and I share dark red hair and she kept hers around waist length for many years. She recently cut it after retiring to make all of her trekking around the world easier, but it was always impressive. Personally, while I like the look I've never been able to stand having my hair any length at all, so I've got over 40 years with a high & tight flattop - pretty much the opposite!
Maybe some of these beautiful haired people might consider doing a big chop donate to charity?
I had long hair down to my waist for about twenty years. I kept getting it caught in car doors and windows when it was windy. Everyone could tell when it was my hair in the food at dinner. (Not that it happened a lot.) Upkeep can be difficult at times. I did love though, it felt so glorious. I do wonder how the woman with 110 feet of hair can even walk around!!
The male of a species is the most beautiful (lion, cardinal, peacock) to attract a mate. Females glow! What's not to love here?
