I know EXACTLY what you mean. Since my hair shaped up and stopped being so poofy when I changed how I took care of it, I've been mostly glad to have such well-defined, frizzless curls.
On the other hand, I think I got really attached to being a "big hair" kind of girl, and it's hard not to have that identity to lean on. It's who I was for so long, and so while I like my "new" hair, I kind of miss my old mystique more than I miss the actual "old hair."
Maybe part of the reason I want long hair is that it's a replacement for "big hair."
