I DID IT!!

Finally! This is not exactly breaking news - but I keep everyone updated on the growth of the kids - thought I would talk about my growth. My Hair Growth that is. I have been growing my hair out for about Two Years now. Pretty much since the Fall of 07. For the longest time I was going with the thought that you should continue to get your hair trimmed every 6 months because the trim will help the ends grow and thrive. Eeeehhhh! So Wrong.



Apparently there is a conspiracy. I do believe that it is Hair Designers (what is the PC term for Beautician these days?) who have put that false belief in our heads. "Make certain to keep your ends trimmed for the health of your hair". I do believe that if your hair goes wonky and grows at different lengths you should trim it up to be evened out - but for a bit I kept going in - kept saying "I am growing my hair out - so if you could just trim a tad" and then they recut it basically into the reverse bob I had!!! So frustrating. So I quit having my hair cut. Started cutting my own bangs again (just so I could see). And waited................for a year..........and Voila!!
I have long hair again!! Yea me. Yes, terribly exciting isnt' it? Hey - I take the small Victories and celebrate the crap out of them so that the daily Victories I loose seem not so incredibly overwhelming. BigGuy likes my hair longer (although he very wisely loves my hair no matter how I have it because he says I am ALWAYS beautiful to him - smart man). I like my hair longer in summer because I can pull it up. But now that it is grown out I would like to shape it a bit....................that means going to a Hair Stylist (would this be the correct pc term for Beautician?).

Should I chance it?

I love the way your hair looks right now, but I'm biased and believe that super simple is always better. But, take a girlfriend with you to make sure you don't get convinced you need to take too much off.
