How I did it: It took me several years to grow it as long as I did-which was about to the bottom of my bum. That was too long for me and I did get it cut shorter. Some days I just couldn't stand it. But it was worth it. You'll get a lot of compliments with it long. Read how I did it…
I started in January so I’ll be finished by the end of June. I think I’ve done pretty well. There were a few times I didn’t check the labels and ate gelatin. Yuck! Even when I stop being a vegetarian I’m never eating gelatin again. If I ever go vegetarian again I’ll definitely plan it better. It has been a very interesting journey. And I’d recommend everyone to try it. It doesn’t have to be for six months. It could be a week or even a few days. I was amazed at all the meatless meals out there.
