WELCOME!

You have lovely hair.  It is a color that I KNOW many people work very hard to get.  It looks to be in good condition too!  You obviously take good care of it.

I don't think I've every seen a person with albino-traits that has hair as long as yours.  Keep up the good work!  I look forward to more posts from you.

Wow thank you for all the nice complements

I havent worn my hair down in a long time, so i cant really say a whole lot of strangers ever Oooo or Ahhh over it. People comment about the colour almost every other day. People ask where i got it, if its natural, if im NORWEGIAN (!!?) Or if its hard being albino

Bikerbraid, your right, allot of people try and get their hair this colour I Remember when i was in the bathroom of an airport, there was a lady doing her makeup in the mirror next to me, and she had short, frazzled, dried, crispy, crunchy, yellowy and very blond hair, with blackish roots all over- and she stared at my hair and gave me such a look of death!!
I bet she spends most of her money on her hair and on that tan she was sporting

I also remember when i was little, strangers would touch my hair (its really REALLY soft for some reason... feels like a bundle of silk fibers)- but ive never had anyone approach me in a long time, other than random rude comments about my hair colour from people at checkouts, or waiting in lines..

I read the other forums, and do you guys really have people come up to you about your hair?

And also, what legnth hair do i have? its just an inch or so above my waist- and what is classic legnth hair?

sorry for all the questions!

Lol! wow i cant beleive people will just come up and 'tug' at your hair.

I cant wait untill my hair is to my hips, i think that would be so fun. My hair almost glows in the sunlight, so i think it would look great, being so long. AHhh i hope i can get it that long! Its supposed to grow like 6 in per year right? Ehh i dont think my hair is growing that fast... Ill have to check school photos. Any tips on promoting hair growth? It is that wishful thinking?

1/2" of growth a month is average.  Many people have more growth during the warmer summer months, and less growth during the colder winter months (if you live in a temperate climate).  Hair will sometimes go through a resting phase when it does not grow at the average rate, but that does not necessarily mean you are at the terminal length. 

Growing long hair takes lots of patience.  Keeping yourself healthy will help maximize the growth.  You are at an age when your hair is probably growing at it's fastest, so enjoy!

Welcome to LongLocks shmooey.  True that around these boards you have "average" hair length, but since mine is so short (just above shoulder length ) I really appreciate your hair length. 

I would say that for every nasty look or comment you hear there are probably 10 unspoken appreciative thoughts from others about your hair color and length.  Besides which, no one else has to live with your hair -- you do!  Considering all the bottle blondes around you know they are really jealous -- their problem is in not being able to accept and appreciate what they have.

Glad to have you here.

Maybe that "Norwegian" comment comes from that in Scandinavia your beautiful hair color is a bit more usual than elsewhere? I'm from Finland and have seen a few people with that haircolor (or almost white hair), though I don't remember if anyone I've seen had as long hair as you do. It isn't actually albino color (colorless skin and red eyes), but goes here usually with gray or light blue eyes and fair skin. In any case, nice hair! 

If your hair is Scandinavian type in other terms that color (it sounds like that), it's good to keep it up quite a lot...in that case, it's beautiful but quite fragile and keeping up protects it. But to me, it sounds like you're already taking good care of it  . Welcome!
