Description tumblr'd here!: vivlin.tumblr.com/post/5519057…

I was waiting in line to buy bubble tea a couple days ago when I thought, "Hey, I wonder what I'd look like with ridiculously long hair." yeah.. my mind wanders.. but then I remember when I was really small, I use to resent haircuts. I thought they were evil for some reason.. :T
I also got inspired by the flower crown craze going around recently. Haven't a clue as to why they've suddenly become so popular, but I love flower crowns, so I'm not complaining!

This has some very elegant lines, it's just really nice to look at. Nice is a terrible word, but I mean it's simply refreshing I suppose.

I used to hate hair-cuts as a little kid too.

Now I HATE having my hair touching my shoulders, so now my hair is always cut as a bob that follows my jaw-line. Funny how things change huh?

So pretty!

I love long hair as well. I didn't really get my hair trimmed properly but maybe once when I was 6 I think...? My mother and grandmother didn't want to spend money to get the split end trimmed because they thought it was a waste, so my grandmother would do it no and again, but she doesn't really know what she's doing. ;___; Now that I have money of my own, I went in and asked to get my split ends trimmed because I want my hair to grow longer and healthier, and they ended up cutting off half my hair and told me to keep coming back after it grows out more... Q____Q My split ends are that bad! OTL I hope my hair grows faster now... Took me 8 years to get it back down to just barely my mid-back again (we had to cut it up past my shoulders in elementary as a last resort against head lice).

My hair woes aside, her face is just so spunky, the soft and rich colors mature and refined, and the gentle waving angles so breezy and free. It really helps capture the spirit of a floral crown.

I hope you don't mind if I do my own version of this with Disney's Rapunzel perhaps.

Vilva In reply to NasikaSakura [2013-07-13 19:50:57 +0000 UTC]

Ahh thanks so much! I wouldn't mind at all, if you did something like this with Rapunzel. If you end up heavily referencing off of this though, please just credit me somehow, like in little note in the description!

Haha! Ahh I had really long hair, with a lot of split ends as well! I just chopped it off a week ago actually.. It's only up to my shoulders now, but at least now the split ends are gone! :'D

NasikaSakura In reply to Vilva [2013-07-13 20:56:28 +0000 UTC]

Same with me. I can't wit for it to grow out, but it's super slow since I'm anemic and usually sickly.

Oh, of course! XD I don't usually do heavy referencing, so I'll probably just credit you as my inspiration for the concept nonetheless. It's a no-brainer to credit that which you are heavily referencing though I've been having to remind this to those who make mimic-art trying to submit into anime groups lately since the composition is not their own, and actually, it shouldn't be here anyway since without permission of the copyright holder to be using their art, it is breaking copyright laws. Anyways! That was a little bit of a ramble. Sorry, I'm big on proper usage of creative works. It's highly kind of me jut to be linking them to the original image and reminding them to credit the original artist they are mimicking for their hard work, rather than reporting. My father was in a battle over an American company having been illegally using his art as their company logo for the past decade, and I myself for the non-credited use of a logo that I designed when that was part of our terms and conditions. Both storied had a happy end though. ^//u//^

Agh! I rambled... OTL So sorry about that. But you do not have to worry about proper credits with me. If I do follow through, I'll be sure to send you a link.

I think you're lucky. When I had head lice, my mom "trimmed" my hair down so much, she might as well have shaved me! I totally had a boy hair cut (although my grade school picture that year were adorable, admittedly with short  hair). I hated having her cut it, because I always ended up looking like a boy after! LOL

For your hair cut experience, they're just cutting off the "dead hair". They did that to me too when I finally got mine trimmed. My hair grows fast though uwu

You should research some good hair products that'll help your hair be stronger and grow quicker! ouo

NasikaSakura In reply to Cinderpy [2013-07-12 16:28:30 +0000 UTC]

I tried a very credible name-brand shampoo and conditioner, just as it was instructed, and it actually made my hair worse. ;___; It became so very brittle and dry when my hair is naturally oily... I've just decided to stick to my regular shampoo.

I'm also anemic and normally sickly, so that doesn't help with any of my growth, let alone normal body functioning. XD

Very sorry about your hair, but I'm glad you can look back on your photos with a smile. >//u//< That sounds so cute. I have a round face and petite features, so I look like I am 12 to most people despite being a young woman in her sophomore year of college (I have to get my boyfriend to come over and be my "adult supervision" to get free food samples in stores =___= ). So, with my hair short, it frames my face to make it look even more round and child-like. At least I can get a few dollars off at establishments like roller-skating, movies, and eating-out! XD My younger brother can't get away with it though~ He's quite a bit bigger than I am, haha.

Cinderpy In reply to NasikaSakura [2013-07-12 16:44:05 +0000 UTC]

Aww! LOL That sounds cute too, though. I have rather broad features, so I get asked if I'm like, 23 or something and I'm not even a senior yet ;__;

Sorry to hear about your anemia and stuff ;u; I have a particularly weak immune system so I get sick a lot as well.

Ooh, yeah. Do you have light colored hair, or fair hair? ouo; I think that's common with like, blonds. Not too sure. I had a friend who had fair hair and another who had thick dark hair like I do, and they both tried to use olive oil I think it was to make their hair softer. Needless to say, my fair-haired friend suffered badly from it; she couldn't get it out and when she finally did her hair was even thinner and kind of brittle :c

Hopefully you'll find something soon! ;u;

NasikaSakura In reply to Cinderpy [2013-07-12 16:52:50 +0000 UTC]

Yes, my hair is dark since it's brown, but it is baby-thin. And with my hair being naturally oily, olive oil is not the best idea. XD I have to find gentle shampoos without added oils, which is rather difficult the past decade because of how many people damage their hair with straighteners-- there is far more of a market for oily shampoos than for oil-free because of this. I've never used a straightener myself. XD

Cinderpy In reply to NasikaSakura [2013-07-12 16:57:31 +0000 UTC]

Oh, wow kudos LOL I have unruly hair so I straighten it when I feel like it, otherwise it's always up. I kind of mistreat my hair LOL

There was this one shampoo and conditioner my friend used but I can't remember the name. I just remembered it smelled really minty ahaha.

haha Sounds lovely. XD I love mint. It's very good for relaxation.

My hair has a record of being unruly, but I've learnt to just keep a collapsible hairbrush in my purse and not to worry too much.
