Please watch this amazing bellydance video just found on youtube,

 

[Greek Bonfire]

Well, that's definitely original! I do know someone who has hair that long, wonder if she would like this video.

 

[Zorba]

Sigh... I would settle for my hair being half that long - but I'm stuck with a quarter or less!

 

[Greek Bonfire]

I noticed that she doesn't wear any kind of hip scarf due to her usually long hair.

 

[Ariadne]

I used to think hair that long would be amazing and couldn't understand why anyone would cut it. Then I finally managed to get mine down to just past my rear and decided waist length is good enough for me.

 

[Zorba]

I had a friend who had hair almost that long - it was always getting caught in things. Such as someone's stroller going the other way at the mall!

 

[Ariadne]

Exactly!

Me too. And recently I've gone a couple of inches shorter. I know of a couple of people with hair this long, and it makes them look even shorter, and not in a flattering way. But to each their own.

 

[Shanazel]

My hair reached midthigh about this time last year before I whacked six or eight inches off of it. As I've gotten older, I've gotten less patient with taking care of my fine, floaty mess, but short hair is an even bigger pain to care for than a braid.

 

[Ariadne]

I use a bun myself. Spin pins are the bomb for getting your hair out of the way quickly.

 

[Shanazel]

I still have enough hair that the weight of a bun gives me a headache within a couple of hours

 

[Zorba]

Ok - I give up? What happened with Shanazel's post and the HUGE blank area?

 

[Shanazel]

Better?

I was just pausing for effect.

Yep! I didn't know what was going on - somebody was having a problem posting on another forum and kept on getting mega space like that...

I must've hit mega repeat on the enter bar and didn't notice after posting.

I TOTALLY get that. I've had short hair at times in my life - too much trouble!

 

[Ariadne]

I’ve found getting the bun high on my head helps prevent that, plus I have very fine hair so it’s not as heavy.

 

[Ariadne]

Oh, I should also mention that before I discovered spin pins I also had trouble with headaches after an hour or two. If you haven’t tried them before I highly recommend them.

 

[Greek Bonfire]

When I was younger, I had a lot of hair, and I couldn't pull it back for too long because the weight of it would give me a back and neck headache. Oh my - the troubles I had

As I've said before, I can't grow longer than what would be bra strap length on a woman. However, I used to wear long Tribal dreadlocks in my Tribal days. One year at Rakkasah, I had the damn things in all day, and got one HELL of a neck ache. There was a booth advertising "15 minute massage, $20". I had her work my neck the entire 15 minutes - much better!

The dreads are interesting to wear, involving a topknot and hair sticks. Not comfortable, but LOTS of fun!
