Im sat here at 3:33a.m to be precise =P Ive been growing my hair for nearly 8 months now, not long to a lot of you but so long for me O.o This is about my 5th attempt at growing hair too ¬.¬
I feel like I either need my hair short or long, meaning a short cut or hair to about chin length or longer. I dont like hair in between short and long =( Nothing I can do with it at all! My hair partens naturally now and reaches just past the eyes and its the same length on sides maybe a little longer but not by much!
I cant go out without some kind of cap and I hate wearing caps so yah I dont go out much to be honest! With short hair id go out a lot =( But i know with long hair id go out a lot but summer is here and im going to be missing out! =( Im thinking of getting it cut anyways, i dont know what to do :( I have such straight hair too and im so happy i have straight hair cus thats how id like it long so it wud be such a shame to cut it but i dont know if this is all worth it =( This may be the so-called arkuid stage but for me its just known as the depression stage! I dont know what to do, by september/october i shud be happy with my hair length (it shud be about chin length) but I dont know if I can wait this long to be honest... I still may not like it long!! Ive never had long hair... *sigh* sorry to rant on.

You can get through this, you only have to do it once and you are done with it forever. Must be something you can do to see it through. It will be really cool when you cross the line to longhair. Wish I knew what would convince you but if all the great hair here doesn't do it, not sure what I can do, but I hope you give it some more time.
I know you don't want to hear this, but there's no way to go from having short hair to long hair without first having medium length, awkward stage hair. And I think I can say with a great deal of confidence that none of us on this board like/liked the awkward stage. I know I don't, and I'm certainly going through it right now.
You may have to just stick it out, and experiment with gel/mousse/wax/putty products to tame it while it gets to a length where you can do something with it. That's what I'm doing at the moment. You just have to play around with this and that till you discover what works.
Hope it works out for you.

Just make sure that you follow the two week rule. You must want to cut your hair all day, every day for a solid two weeks before you actually do it. If at any time during those two weeks, you change your mind, or even aren't sure, then you have to start the two week clock all over again.
If you really want to cut it. You will in two weeks. What's the big deal of going through two more weeks of the awkward stage at this point?
But, if you change your mind, or even just waver, then before you know it, you'll be able to get your hair into a ponytail and that will be a happy day indeed! You'll rejoice and dance around because you will have toughed it out and finally made it!
