Continuing the long-hair journey...

[Recharukua]

I've grown my hair long for most of my life, with the exception of sporting shoulder length locks when I was seven, and a misunderstanding with my hairdresser in my late teens resulting in my just-past waist length hair being hacked to bra-band height (Oh, there were words exchanged that afternoon, harsh words, and I haven't let anyone else cut my hair since.)

Since then, I've grown my hair to hip length, where it is now. A few months ago, I had a wonderful thick, blunt cut hemline, but now I'm sporting fairytale ends after I shed much of my hair after having my baby. The shedding has stopped now, and I was kind of bummed about my fairytale ends, and I was considering cutting my hair back 4-12 inches (4 being what I'd have to do to get my super thick blunt ends back, 12 being what I was considering donating to charity)

I found this board, and read a few threads, and my perception about my hair has changed drastically. I'm thrilled, and I've decided to keep my hair, and keep working on the classic-length I've always envied.

So anyway, yes, that's me, and thank you ladies for the inspiration!


Here's a decent picture of me, my hair, and the baby who shook my confidence in my hair...

Hello! Your baby looks very sweet, and your hair is beautiful! Don't give up! I'm a newbie here too, but it seems that this community is very encouraging
