My Hair, My Pride!!! Loh #190
I started making my hair fully in the year 2012 and that was when I gained admission to the College of Education, a program meant for those who want to go into the line of teaching. This program is for 3 years after which they are qualified to be a teacher and many still have to further to obtain a degree certificate. My mom was always the one making my hair when I was a small girl and there was a time, my Dad had to force me to cut the hair because I used to cry due to the pain. That was the only time I cut my hair, and in the year 2012, I started my hair fully and ever since then haven't cut it.

My hair was longer than this before and I was able to maintain it to get to this stage. I am always proud of it especially since it's been 12 years that I began the journey. People would always wish they had my kind of hair and how long it is. I use to smile when I walk among people, while some would murmur with words like, "Wow, this lady's hair is so long," some would say I should give them some from it and jokingly would tell them I could have given them if it's possible. But will I? My hair is my pride.
A woman's hair is her beauty and many times I have seen how my beauty comes out whenever I make my hair and this has made me enjoy having different styles of hair on me to bring out the beauty. Some have appreciated the fact that I love to make my hair every time. This is why a lot of people cut their hair just because they cannot continue to keep up with managing it or spend lots of money to make new hair.
However, some ladies cut their hair, not because they don't have the money or cannot maintain it, they do that for fun as lots of them enjoy having a low cut. They love to rock low-cut hair and tint it with different colours and that is one way they have fun rocking such hair. I was asked if I would love to cut my hair but said no as I love my long hair and that is what brings me happiness especially when people compliment how long and bold my hair is. My sister once told me that if I cut my hair, I would be like a chicken and look ugly. I told her nothing they say can stop me from cutting the hair if I wanted to, but I just decided to leave my hair like this.

While I have heard so many times that when I have my children, especially girls, they would take my hair, I still don't believe that because, I don't wish my hair to be short but to remain this long and even more if it's possible. My future girls would have their long hair just like their mother, so, we would all have to rock our beauties forever.
While I love my hair and do not plan to cut it, I find it hard to sit for long in the salon to make it. My hair is a full one and it takes hours to get it done and for someone like me, I hate to sit down for hours on a spot. This is why I go for big braids that have just 5-7 rolls and if I decide to make my natural hair, I go for just 5 rolls to be plaited on my hair so everything won't exceed an hour.
Then another thing is I feel so lazy loosening my hair. But when the hair isn't much, I try to lose it faster than having tiny braids on me that would take days to finish loosening it.
I am also bad at styling my hair. A lot of ladies would wish they had just like my hair and that they do not have to keep visiting the salon but to style it in different ways, this is something I cannot do. I can only pack my hair in one style and I am good to go. The best style I love whenever I do not make my hair is the doughnut style, where you pack your hair up and then roll the tips round like a doughnut.
In all, I rock my hair and do not wish to cut it. I maintain my hair to look beautiful. By tomorrow, I shall be making a new hair which I found the style on Pinterest and will be visiting the salon to get it done.

Wow! You have been growing your hair for 12 years! That's amazing! There's no need to cut indeed if you are happy with it and you can style it differently :)
It made me wonder, how long do you keep your hair in braids?

Thank you.
Your hair is absolutely stunning! I can't believe how long and healthy it looks. You must be so proud to have maintained it for 12 years. I love how you express your beauty through your hair and enjoy trying different styles. I hope mine grows as long as yours! Hehehe
Yes, I love my hair and people get surprised too when they hear that it has been 12 yrs of me growing the hair. I hope so too 😊
Long hair is indeed a beauty to any woman that possesses it. 12 years of growing it would definitely have involved discipline and dedication.
#dreemerforlife
Yea. Discipline and dedication. Having such long hair is a woman's pride.
Your hair is long and full ❤🥰just like mine, I enjoy numerous compliments from people as well.
I started making mine 15 years ago, I love my hair so much and I can't think of cutting it.
Don't worry when you start having kids, just make sure you have sufficient vitamin E in your body and your beautiful long hair will not cut that much. Until then keep on rocking your hair 🥰👍❤
#dreemerforlife
Wow. You are my senior in keeping hair then 😃
Vitamin E...I learnt something. Thank you for the tip. ❤️
Haha🥰🥰
You look beautiful with your long hair. And it is great that you paying good attention to its maintenance. I love having long hair as well.
Hair is the beauty of a woman, but it is not every one that can cope with the responsibility of maintaining long hair. Some people just feel it is too stressful for them.
#dreemerforlife
Yes. Not everyone that can cope with keeping such hair and it is why most ladies opt for short hair that they can maintain and not spend enough on
I totally feel you, it happens with me as well. I have very soft natural hair and we all know al the struggles that comes with having natural hair. Well, my own hair doesn't stress me at all and people are always wishing they had my type of hair. And just like you, I don't really pay much attention to the hair like that and I am so so bad at styling.
I used to wish I had natural hair too and would envy those with it but it only makes it easier when such hair is soft. Some who have natural hair always wish to cut it sometimes because of how hard and painful it is for them.
This hair to ladies.
Sure there's a beauty attached to it.
Also, the hair cutting looks good on some ladies too. I once had a crush on someone because of low caught....when she started making hair, the small likeness disappeared 😂
Hahaha. You are right. Some ladies are good looking with low cut hair as it fits them perfectly.
Your hair looks great. Twelve years is really a long time to be growing your hair, I guess you're properly taking care of it.
#dreemerforlife
Yes, I am. Thank you for the compliment.
You're welcome.
Your hair is beautiful and looks good on you. I had full long hair too that was the cynosure of eyes till I decided to go natural because it started getting cutting. Having long and full hair is beautiful o but the pain one has to go through in maintaining it no be small thing. 😅
No be small thing oo. The pain of combing and even sitting for hours to make it is something tiring and sometimes annoying 🤣🤣
