I cut myself a fringe today! I hate the front inch or so of my hair, it's very thin and weak (maybe because I always pull and brush it back) so I thought might as well. I'm kinda excited I get a blank slate to measure my growth rate.

It looks lovely

I always find my fringe creeps up on me until it's smack bang in front of my eyes before I've realised it's got too long

That is a great idea for a bun. Just today i was playing around with all kinds of up-dos and half-ups and i'll definitely try this.

I keep feeling like my hair will never grow and I should just chop it to chin to get rid of the rest of the bleach TT^TT
But of course, I'm not going to do that because that'd be stupid. I'm always going to want long hair so I better keep going.
I'm also irritated that my hair will get damaged if I wear it down because the whole point of me having long hair was for it to look good down...

I need like nothing but satin blouses/dresses and satin lined hoodies because I do NOT want my hair rubbing against cotton [or any other fabric] EVER.
Uhg it just feels like it's all for nothing at this point.

I'm sorry that I post so much in here, there's just not really anywhere else that I can.

You're not alone, I feel this way too about my hair right now. I have actually stayed away from this site a while because I feel so bad that my hair is this disaster.
Hang in there, sis.

Finally put some pincurls in my album! I am really horrible with technology, so I apologize for the picture quality, hugeness, sideways images, and reverse order! (Name a way to screw it up, and I'll find it!) When I get some time, I'll get in there and try to straighten them out. I was going to put them here in the thread, but they're GIANT!

I really like pincurls. They're the only curls that last for me, and they come out bouncy and moldable. I brush them around my fingers or against my hand to get them going in the right direction, and they're very cooperative. You might have to experiment with dampness. I set mine on dry hair that's barely damp for best results. They'll last all day, depending on how much I'm outside. Wet and wind will relax them quicker.

I got my wig today! It's great quality and it's absolutely gorgeous! I feel like a princess<3

ETA: I cut the fringe myself. It came with a side-swept kind of fringe but If you pushed it too far to the side [aka out of your eyes!] you'd see some short hairs by the wig cap thing. I also just look 1000x better with a straight fringe than a side one.

@emilylightning: Wow! Awesome! It looks so lovely on you!

@emilylightning Nice, I really like the colour
I think I need to do more regular protein treatments. Since i've been paying more attention to my hair i've realised that I get a fair bit of breakage, I need to get that under control if I want to retain length so that is now my main focus. I've got aphogee 2 step and cassia which I plan to rotate, I don't really want to but I may revisit henna if the previous 2 are not enough (replace cassia not as well as) because henna really helped in the past.
