I had a very similar situation tonight. I went out with a girl for the second time tonight. She had put some layers in her beautiful, full, brown hair that falls a couple of inches past her shoulders. She didnt lose any length since the last time I have seen her, but the layers added some body. I said "Oh, your hair looks really nice" and she said she was surprised I noticed because she didnt lose any length.

She obviously doesnt know I have a hair thing, so I followed it up and said "Oh, I noticed. I like how you wear your hair long. You have really beautiful hair." She really liked the fact that I complimented her.

Then....here's where it gets good....she told me that she had long hair up until this spring, but broke up with a guy and just went and cut off 11 inches....then cried. So her hair use to fall to past her mid back. She said she has been trying to grow it longer ever since....even taking vitamins to do so. Can't wait to see it back long again!
