So I've been growing for almost 4 months and I really hate my hair. I guess I'm wondering for those of you who are farther along this journey, would you say the first 6 months are the worst? The first whole year? the first 4 months? it's just I keep thinking that at some point I may not love my hair yet but atleast I'll be able to tolerate it. Any thoughts?!?!

Well, for me, it was the entire first year. I just had to tell myself not to look in any mirrors (or windows!) that I passed. I just needed to forget what I looked like until the worst was over. I can't say that I'm thrilled even yet -- but now that my hair is long enough to put up, I'm a whole lot happier. Finding a way to "ignore it" or have fun with it has been my way to cope. It will get better, I promise. But you just have to be extra kind to yourself during the tough periods.

For me the most painful was between ear and chin... after chin, it was much easier.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'm just about ear now and my hair has NO style. Bleh!

well, seeing how I have been growing for almost 7 months and still hate my hair...I am going to have to say that the first whole year is the worst....well, for me, that is

I did a demi-permanent dye over my ends today (I couldn't stand the washed out brassy color any more!) and I was going through my hair to distribute the dye I realized I have 2 inch broken hairs ALL OVER my head. Ugh. I thought it was just around my hairline.

It's feeling more and more like a losing battle.

Idk. Maybe short again is the way to go for now (don't do it don't do it don't do it). I don't want to deal with mullet hair again though.
