Grow my hair out

so i lightened my hair a bit ago. now its blonde again, kinda like before. and its getting long… i can’t believe it. i have a decent ponytail, still gotta use pins tho, since hilary trimmed up the back when she dyed it. but the front pieces come all the way down to my clavicle now. its weird but i like it. the longest its been in 5 years.

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…

I have my hair in a natural non chemically altered hair do. Don’t get me wrong, I loved perms but they never did my hair well. It was never meant to be relaxed. Anyway, I am actually wearing my own hair out to school today. It’s in a fro that’s pushed back with those elastic hair bands. So I guess it’s in a pony fro. I am so 1970’s right now but I love it. My number one tool to growing my hair out. I am going to treat my hair with love and keep it soft and full and healthy.

My immediate goal is to have my hair long enough to wear in a high ponytail/pigtails and NOT have little hairs falling out underneath. Annoying. I’ll probably let it grow longer than that, but at that point I will check this goal off of my list. =)

but it needs a trim…however i dont wana trim it i want it to grow longerrrr this is going to take ages for it to grow i hope it grows fastttt

Well it’s been 10 months since I trimmed my hair and started really growing my hair out. I started out about an inch or so above APL and now there actually tiny strands grazing BSL, and it’s only November. My 2009 goal was to make CBL in the front, which is basically done and be near BSL with hopes to be at BSL by my Bday in February. I think for 2010 is to be APL in the front and near MBL in the back. this is of course stretched since I’m still natural. and I’m still anemic with the slow growing hair

Hopefully I’ll be waist length in the back by my 25th bday in Feb 2011. That’s about 10 inches to go.

I think my hair is at what you would call ‘medium length’..

I’ve coloured a couple of times . . this damaged my hair, and didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped.. but still better looking then my natural colour.

wish it would just hurry up and grow.. I’m almost half way through this and I haven’t lost my mind yet, so there is no point quitting now.

my hair is finally to my shoulders but not quite where i want it yet…slowly but surely it is getting there. i want to cut it so bad right now because it is in its awkward stage. i hope i have the courage to keep growing it

Yesterday I purchased a hair oil called ‘Wild Growth Hair Oil’ from a beauty products store. I read really good reviews about this oil and I’m curious to see if it really helps to grow my hair. My goal is to grow my hair by at least 2 to 3 inches by my birthday in March 2010.

i accidentally chopped off all my hair. its like really, really short. i have a feeling hair clips are going to be my best friends for a while.

edit: i change my mind; i like it. now i can tie my hair into cute mini-pigtails :]
