I'm afraid I am going to lose control. I thought I had got past the awkward stage but I seem to always get days when I feel so tempted to cut my fringe from nose length like it is now to eyebrow length cause it just keeps dangling and looking stupid. My aim is to have my hair long enough to go behind my ears at the front and have the back about chin length so, sort of like a bob but it's just not getting there.
Has anyone else ever felt so bad and annoyed that you considered cutting the fringe? Cause this is just really getting me depressed (I know it sounds stupid) when I just can't get it to do anything and it looks crap. It just doesn't seem to grow fast at the back either, and it's really getting on my nerves. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel or should I give it a snip (I have come very close already) and let the back grow all to the same length first ???
DO NOT cut the fringe. Doing so will only prolong the process. When it is bothering you, wear a hat or bandana, or slick it back with gel. Later, you will be so glad you toughed it out.
Don't forget that it is harder for us. The ladies went through this when they were 2 years old. Just hang in there.
You most certainly aren't alone. I've been getting increasingly frustrated as I've been trying to grow my hair out. I came very close to cutting it off this week. But, I keep telling myself that it will get better, that it's just a matter of time. Moreover, I have finally gotten to the point that I can make a half-way decent pony-tail. Well, more of a rabbit-tail, but it's a start.
Keep your hair, and hang in there.
Thanks everyone, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one in this predicament, good luck everyone!
When I have grown my hair in the past, the fringe (bangs) seemed to get to a certain length and then stop growing. I never really gave it a full effort, however. How long have you been trying to grow it out? Check the exact length now, and then check again in one month. If it hasn't grown at all, give it a few snips across the eyebrows. If it has continued to grow, have patience for what you truly want. Good luck.
A few months ago I was where you are, and now I'm able to tuck it behind my ears. It still can get in the way if it's windy, but some gel or a hat takes care of it. Hang in there! Take supplements if you can't wait.
