Hi! I am new here and excited to continue on my hair growth journey. I have had ultra short hair my entire life. My entire life! My mom had a serious illness and died when I was a teenager. It was too difficult for her to deal with my hair, so she kept it in a pixie, and I kept the style as a sort of homage to her over the years.

I'm now 56 years old and ready to enter the goddess phase of my life. My hair is currently at shoulder, which is LONG compared to how it's been my entire life. :) I'm growing to waist length, I think. We'll see, taking it one day at a time.

I'm also an advocate for fat persons' rights, being a major fatty myself, and I also teach in the public schools, high school history (US and World). I live just outside of the reservation where I grew up.

My hair is fine, salt and pepper, and when it is long, I will look like the Navajo warrior that I am!

If anyone could assist, I would be grateful: I'm trying to figure out how to get my photo in the avatar spot. I can't find the instructions. I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm an older chick with limited internet experience. Thank you!

Welcome! Goddess phase. I like that - think I'll adopt it and throw it at the next person who suggests I cut my hair. Although the longer it gets, the more compliments I receive :)
