It probably doesn't help that I micro-trim somewhat regularly. I want to keep my hemline fairly blunt and my hair seems happiest with regular, teeny trims. I trimmed yesterday due to it being the Spring Equinox.
You're not alone, I'm moving backwards too. :DQuote:

Weird coincidence!-- Sister is a curly. Super curly, bordering on kinky. My hair looks a lot longer than hers, just because her curls fold back on themselves so much. She's had to get several trims to avoid the "triangle head", when I could just let mine grow. I think she looks great, and does a great job managing her hair. I can't imagine trying to grow out a wad of curls like that!
The curls are so much easier to deal with now that it's long enough to put up! When I was first growing it out from a pixie, I was determined not to use heat and my hair was absolutely ridiculous. It was good for my vanity :D
Now it's just a matter of being patient...
Curly wavy lenght eating frustration. Oh well I figure it really doesn't much matter since my hair is up pretty much 24 7, extra length is really just for doing cooler stuff with at this point. That and growing out the bangs I cut in. Stupid me curly hair does not behave when cut short. A few months and they will go into most updos and currently work into braids fairly well. Live and learn.
Wow, Browneyedsusan, your March length picture! Amazing!
OMG, Neecola! That was a dirty ponytail day! DD (16) was willing to take my picture, so I pulled it down and sat in the window. I enjoy everyone else's progress pictures, so there you go! Crimpy, jacked-up ponytail hair! :laugh:
I meant: "Thank you!"
I'm just flabbergasted you complimented, and forgot my manners. oopsie:oops:
Aw, you're welcome, BES! Seriously, looks very healthy and the growth you have put on is awesome!!
And hurrah for finally being long enough to have jacked up pony tail hair :hifive:
