I’ve been pretty diligent for the last few days and I haven’t been biting my fingernails. A couple times I’ve subconsciously picked them off, or started to, but I’ve been trying to notice when I do it so it won’t be subconscious anymore.

Anyway today I actually have noticed some growth. They’re getting little white tips on them. Usually my fingernails are SO short, they have no white tips on the top. For some reason the nails on my left hand look nicer and are a little longer. I probably pick/chew the nails on my right hand more because it’s my dominant hand…

I haven’t bitten my nails at all today. Ordered some nibble-free nail stuff online today. Also, I removed the red nail polish because it was chipping, but I don’t like the color I painted over them. It looked like a kind of a deep mauve in the bottle, but on my fingernails it’s like the same color as my skin and looks weird. What’s more, I bashed up a few of the nails while they were still wet. But I used sally hansen nail growth stuff so hopefully I’ll actually some results by christmas…

Well, my hair’s getting longer, but it’s desperately in need of a haircut. It’s probably been… more than 6 months since I’ve had trim. My bangs have totally grown out, as well as my layers, so I’ve been frustrated with my hair lately. It’s curly and if it doesn’t have lots of layers, it turns into a triangle shape, poofing out big at the bottom but being too weighed down on the top.

I keep toying with the idea of getting my hair relaxed. I used to get it done in high school, but stopped by my senior year. For about 3 years now I’ve been wearing it in its naturally curly state. I don’t flat iron it much because it takes so long. My hair is SO thick, it can take over an hour. Also, if my hair was straight it would look much longer. The curls eat up so much of the length… Right now, while it’s curly it’s a little longer than my collar bone but if I stretch the curls straight, it gains like 2 inches of length.

Anyway I don’t have the money to relax it, and besides, I don’t just need to grow my hair out, I need to get it healthy too. I’ve also been thinking about getting it cut short again because it’s so much easier to care for, but i need to resist that temptation and remember the beautiful, long hair that I’m aiming for…
