It's been years since I have had long hair, and I have always wanted it back. I had a few bad hair cuts through out the years which has really held me back in the process... And here is my new predicament...
You can't tell by looking at it, by my hair has A LOT of breakage.
Basically, I got bored and experimented with hair dye this past year. :(
... I went from black to brown.
... Back to black.
... Added bright red streaks.
... Then I had it bleached out to blonde.
... Now I'm back to my natural brown color. And keeping it this way! Lesson learned!
Needless to say, every piece of my hair has some breakage. It could be a lot worse though, for all it's been through. I'm lucky it didn't melt off! But now, the only healthy hair I have left, is the top 3 inches of re-growth. I have been getting regular trims, (every 6 - 8 weeks,) to deal with the damage. And therefore, I have gained absolutely no length this year.
Now, I realize this is the consequence for trashing your hair... And I do really regret all my color experiments. But I guess I'm just hoping for a miracle story from someone, or some hope...
Has anyone been able to "ignore," their hair breakage, skip their regular trims, and reach their long hair goals? Or is this just not possible?:shrug: :shrug: :shrug:
PS. Cutting my hair all off would be a bad option for me, because I've never had short hair before and I would be very upset. So would my husband :p Plus, as a mother of a toddler, I have no time to fuss with short hair or deal with the awkward lengths etc.
PPS. Thank you in advance, for your input. You all have beautiful hair and it inspires me. I'm glad I found this forum because I think it will keep me focused and on track to reaching my goals.
