I got a haircut yesterday. That being said, I only lost an inch or so, but it desperately needed some shaping up since I want it to look nice down (and I'm still growing out bangs). It's not as though it was a drastic cut. Nothing like what I did a few years ago. When I joined this site, my hair was SHORT. As in the only "style" I could do was a bad impression of Edward Cullen. Turns out, my hair is silly and uncooperative when it's very short.
At that point, I never really thought I would manage to have long hair. I wasn't sure I could make it through the awkward stages, and since high school I hadn't had hair any longer than APL. I didn't know it was possible to get my hair caught in my bra clasps, or that I would soon be intentionally putting oil in my hair. But I was stubborn, persevered, and I finally feel like my hair is getting long. Not by LHC standards, of course, but by most of American society.
I certainly never thought that I would have hair this long that wasn't a huge mess. I still don't know how long I'll be able to grow my hair, but I've recently been very inspired by some folks with thin and/or fine hair who still manage to grow to amazing lengths. In a few more years, I hope to count myself among you!

That's what three and a half years of growth (minus a bunch of trims, especially when I was in Mulletville) looks like on me, as well as vastly improved hair health. Also, mostly-straight blowdried-ness.

I love my hair color. I used to hate it, honestly. I thought it was just brown and kinda bland. Though henna is too red for me, I love the faint red remnants that still come out in the sun in the bottom half- and I'm discovering never-before-noticed red undertones even in my natural haircolor.
I'm going to be a little sad when I have to wash my hair in a couple of days, because I really like how easy it is to just wear my hair down when it's straight. I don't have to worry about it doing something silly like curling around my glasses, or trying to eat my purse. On the other hand, I love my wurls, so it'll be nice to have them back.

Also, I'd like to thank my cameraman: trusty old chair with three clamps attached to it.
