grow my hair really long

It’s down to my tailbone! I still haven’t trimmed since June 23 2010, except doing a few microtrims on the fried front bits. I’m really surprised at what good shape my hair is in. I’m taking care of it so differently, lots of TLC and moisture. And ya know what? Even though it’s been over a year since the last trim, I’ve got no split or damaged ends (except those pesky front pieces still trying to grow out the hair dye). I’m amazed. Maybe I’ve just got resilient hair, maybe it’s all in how you take care of it. Probably both. Maybe us girls with “bad hair” just need to learn a thing or two about gentler hair care.

I’ve only trimmed once in the past two years, but a few years ago, I dyed my hair and was in the bad habit of over-using the straightner. Now, that hair has gotten to the bottom few inches and was FRIED! It tangled really easily, too. Yesterday, I gave in and had three inches trimmed off. My hairs lots healthier now, but it feels so short! Of course, my friends/family make fun of me for saying how short my hair is when it’s past my waist, but anyway… :)
Actully, I could haveused a few more inches to get rid of the damage on the front pieces that grow slower and frame your face, but I wasn’t getting it cut that short or unevenly! Hopefully, that trim and a few more will make this process easier and simpler.
