Going past my longest length ever

[pineconejg]

Hello everyone!

I finally found a picture of my hair at its longest, and I'm kind of disappointed. I definitely want to go past this length. I'm nowhere near it yet :(

I was 15 or 16 in that picture. I also noticed how much I've aged :(.

By the way, get a load of my huge 1993 glasses!

With all good advice and excellent tips here, you'll get to this length in no time!

Regarding aging - I'm a known masochist :), but even I don't compare my current self to pics from 15 years ago. I do love to look at my new wrinkles at a 10x magnifying mirror, thou :)

Well, you're growing it out now, so good luck! Are you sure it's much shorter than the pic? I only see the avatar braid (and I cannot do a French braid at all) so cannot tell how long the hair really is. Have you combed it out and put it that way, just to give you a better idea? I'd think you'll get there within a year. :)

That's a cute pic, and of *course* you've aged, if you hadn't you'd probably not be able to get a job! The girl in that pic is a young teen and you're now a grownup. :)

Embee: I can't even put it over my shoulder yet. Good point about not being able to get a job if I still looked that young. It hasn't been so long ago -- maybe 5 years, that I was still working the same job I had at that time, and someone asked me if I was glad to have the next day off from school... I had already graduated from college!

Here's my hair today, same 'do, and my more ahem... mature face.

I have a way to grow!

Also, remember that "aging" beats the alternative.... ;)

Thanks! Great point!

I'd say you have 5ish inches to go to reach the length in that photo -- think about it, you'll be there in less than a year, or even faster if your hair grows quickly :) :flower:
