My hair are very long, more than you could see on the picture. I'm brown-eyed, and as all women, I haven't got any "facial hair"!!! I've too some freckles, and...What else? Nothing especial...I'm just like you!

    My hair is very long--more so (alt: There is more... / longer...) than you could see in the picture. I'm brown-eyed, and like as all women, I haven't got any "facial hair"!!! I've too also have some freckles, and...What else? Nothing especial... I'm just like you!

    Hair is an uncountable noun in English and treated as singular. You'll have to remember that, just like I must keep in mind it is "les cheveux" in French.

    "I have too some ___" = bad word order. There are 2 possible options:   ►"I have some ___ too" ►I too, have some ___ (not the same meaning as previous case)  In your case, it's best to say: "I also have some ___"

    "comme" in French translates to either "like" or "as" and in this case, "like" is much more natural and clear.  "as women" sounds like "being women" but your intended meaning is: "just like all women".

    You're still adding E to the word "special"!  ;)

    Nice twist in your story as is typical of you. Great job!
