It’s probably not long enough to be pulling it back in a clip like I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. It certainly isn’t flattering. But it’s long enough now that I can easily tuck it behind my ears. Which I would do instead of wearing the clip, but then my glasses untuck it and it’s just a pain in the ass. And it’s not flattering because there are features on my face that are best hidden behind face-framing hairstyles (for example, my surplus chins)...but hell. My life’s mission is not to look pretty (and if it were, it would have been a failed mission from the start). So eff it. It’s long enough to be clipped back, and so it shall be clipped back. This way I don’t need to worry about styling it and all that other crap. I can just let it grow. It is chin-length now…and I’ll start trimming it regularly when it’s shoulder length. That’s when I’ll be able to mark this goal complete. To go from 1 inch of hair to shoulder length hair will be quite sufficient.

sugarcookies is apparently like kryptonite to hiring managers
I’ve decided to grow out my hair, which for the past few years has been some sort of Amelie-inspired bob which makes me look like Suri Cruise. But, wow, bobs look ridiculous when they start to grow out. I look like I’m wearing a poofy, fluffy helmet that’s waaaay too big for my head. I almost want to just cut it short again, but it’s almost long enough to tie back, which makes me very happy!

Just to think what a short time it takes to cut it all off… I hope it grows soon! It’s well under my shoulders already, the goal is at least mid-back :D cI feel like chopping it again sometimes, but I will not! :D

I hafta say that when it’s as hot as it was today, growing my hair out seems like a very bad idea… so tempted to just shave it all off.

to just withing a half inch of my scalp (for the sake of making wigs for bald children with cancer…), my hair is finally long enough to touch the bottom of my chin. My first chin – not the extra one tucked just under it.
And I haven’t cut it at all since December. But it seems to be picking up some serious speed now…
But here’s the kicker. Today as I was picking up lunch in the cafeteria one of the suits comes up to me and says “Oh…. I really like your new haircut.” Snerk. My response? “Oh…you mean my hairgrow?” People are funny. And I’m a snot.

that one girl knows that all big changes are made one small decision at a time!
the thing that makes growing your hair out so hard is the constant need to cut it. this isn’t the compulsive want to chop it all off again, this is more just the “ugh, my hair looks like crap” need to reshape the mop that is currently attached to my head!!! blah.
