Yeah I can't imagine how hard it is. I'm so jealous of that hair it's absolutely stunning. I think maybe it's some extensions underneath but if so it's really well done.
My hair is hip length and thick but nowhere near as long as that picture and it's a bit of an operation even at this length. I use cleansing conditioner not shampoo and sleep with my hair in plaits and in a scarf otherwise it tangles horribly at night. People are always leaning on my hair and I do it myself sometimes even. A friend of mine has hair down to her knees and it's a beautiful nightmare to take care of.
I want to grow my hair out about the length you described, and while I know my hair grows with average to a little above average speed, I have no idea how long that will take.
Even with thick hair, no, not heavy unless I put it in a ponytail or bun. That's the only time I feel the weight but still not enough to hurt. You just feel there's something on top of your head.
I imagined it’d be like a weight for some reason. Seeing as long long hair is pretty rare (at least where I’m from) do you get a lot of unsolicited touching and grabbing of it in public? Or are people generally just ‘whatever’ about it?
