SO. I donated my hair to locks of love and now my once luscious 18 inches, is a pixie.
I love that I helped people, but I do not love this hair. I feel like a boy ;(

How to let my hair grow long again
It made me
feminine
 "Amazed that I stuck to it."
How I did it: Kept remembering that long hair was something I admired in others and knew that the opposite sex really love. Also listened to my mentor when he said "well I guess pretty soon you'll have cut your hair off once you have your baby". I asked why he figured that. He said most women do it immediately after having a child to cope with the added chores and responsibilities with motherhood. Plus "babies like to pull hair". I heeded his warning and kept it in mind when the urge to chop hit me several times after having a baby. Lessons & tips: Use the reminder feature on here. You'll forget all about it that you made this goal and probably be pleasantly surprised when you read your reminders (mine were every six months) and go- "oh yeah, I forgot about that!! I'm doing GREAT on it!!" And it's a motivator to keep up the good work. Resources: 43things.com, my mentor (everyone should have one- if you don't, find one- look up on line how to find one), biolage conditioner really makes your hair silky and beautiful and when you hair dry it and style it after using it, you'll be reminded at how happy you are that you have grown your hair out so long, only get trims every couple of months or so and ALWAYS TELL THE HAIR DRESSER that you're trying to grow your hair out, use a hair dryer on high heat at first if you are pressed for time, but as your hair gets drier, switch to a cooler setting so you don't fry your hair. If you use one of those big paddle brushes and keep combing your hair constantly with the low heat (or even a fan) blowing your hair dry, it will get straight and look like you blow dried it with heat the whole time. Also, take lots of pictures of yourself and watch the progression of your hair growth. It's really motivating to see.

It made me
satisfied
How I did it: After I got a horrendous haircut that made me look like Moe from the Three Stooges, I just plain didn't cut my hair for about 9 of the most excruciating months EVER. When it was long enough to be cut and styled into a simple bob, I had it done at an Aveda salon. Then, every 3 months, I had it trimmed just about a quarter inch or so, just to get the split ends off. It's been about 6 months since I last had it trimmed, and I now have long e… Read how I did it…

I can put my hair in a pony tail (and it looks nice)!
I switched stylists last month. Only have gotten one hair by her; however, I can already tell that she knows I mean business about growing my hair out. This process is taking forever!!! Seriously…never, never again!

I cut it short in a pixie cut in Sept 08 (haircut attached) and I’m growing it out…again. I am currently in the awkward stage. It’s longer in the back and shorter on top…mullets are not hawt. I must stay motivated and not get it chopped off again!!!

After I made the plan of letting it grow long again and wear it with bangs this past summer, I really only got it cut like once, and that was before the fall. It did become easier to manage blowing it out while it was growing, but I could tell it got time it lost an inch or so at the ends. Looks and feels much healthier.
Here she grows

My hair is growing pretty well and is about shoulder length now. It looks gorgeous if I blow it out, but I don’t have the time in the morning that often. I had bangs done, too, so even if I pull it back now it doesn’t look so super strict. I love the way my hair is now!
