grow my hair long

I’ve had long hair all my life. But sometime last year I really felt like I needed kind of a new look, and I chopped all my hair off to above my shoulders. I absolutely loved it!!
Buuuut, after the summer ended and I’d had short hair for awhile, I started to really miss my long hair.
So I’m growing it back out. =]

it’s past my shoulders at least. It’s kinda nice having longer hair although it tends to get frizzy sometimes. Humidity. I want to grow it at least half-way down my back. I haven’t had it like that since I was about thirteen. It always looks nice when I see it on other people. Something new for a change, but I’m not too sure how to take care of it yet.

Six months ago, I had a mohawk [black and red]. My hair was real short. Then I had no money to go to a hairdresser, so I just dyed my hair black, took care of it and all. My dear hair grows real damn friggin’ fast… so, I think I’m going to just grow it long. So, since I’m planning on going on stage anyways, I think it could be a nice signature look, too.

It’s a good thing I had that mohawk. First – it was cool. Second – I’ve dyed my hair a million colors, and all the weak hair got cut off, so now it’s smooth and strong. YayyY!

My hair grows incredibly SLOWLY! I haven’t really cut my hair at all since my last post (I don’t think I even got the dead ends trimmed), and my hair is now in mid-shoulder-blade range. Not much to say for a year of effort. Maybe it’s just because once your hair is in the “long” category (I can never figure out what “medium” is and what “long” is), you don’t notice differences that much.

Strangely, it’s a tradition for my family on my father’s side to have long hair. My dad had long hair when he was in college. My three uncles did at some point, and two of them are still wearing it. I’m hoping that I’d inherit the sexy long-haired look too.

It is already up to my back. I want it up to my tailbone. The worst thing to do to growing hair is to dye it and if you have to, use a gentle hair dye. I wash my hair once a week. I comb it before going in the shower and after when it is dry. I do not blow dry, straighten or curl my hair. I do add coconut oil to the ends at night every night. Jojoba oil is the best option. That’s it. I let it be. I do brush my hair when I need to avoid tangles. So far its been working great. My hair looks very healthy. I just want it a little longer =)

but then i did it! =[ i was bored and my hair was damaged. i want my hair back!

It is so odd because as time has gone on, I’ve begun to feel a personal attachment to my hair. I am so connected to it. It’s a party of me literally but it’s more than that – it’s a testiment to my individuality. Everyday, I run my fingers through it. Not because I’m vain or anything – it’s because when you love something so much, you want to know it’s there. That’s how I feel about my hair. It’s really cool.

its weird how lost i feel without my long hair :(
i dont want it as long as almandine though- not a good look

I can now touch the very tips of my hair when I reach behind me(which is about bra length) I want just a few nore inches, just so that when I reach behind me I don’t have to push my arm all the way up to touch it.
