Shelly, you and your hair both look gorgeous! I don't know who has been saying anything negative about you, but don't pay attention to them!
I still say that you remind me so much of my wife when I first met her...I guess that is why I like your photos so much! Her hair is more of an auburn color and was not quite as long as yours (but almost) when I first met her, but you look like her in other ways too (they say everybody has a double somewhere, ya know).
Keep it up. Your hair looks great!
