new thread
A few weeks ago, I had my hair made into cornrows. I guess I did this b/c I felt I needed something new done to my hair b/c I was getting tired of it. (its at 17 months and not yet long enough to pull back into a full ponytail with bangs included).
Over the course of that time, I began noticing stuff that I missed about having long hair. (ex. hair flowing in the wind, hair touching my upper back and shoulders, overall touching it and combing it..etc.)
When I took the rows off, I was probably the happiest man alive. I can't describe the emotion of suddenly having my long hair back. I was surprised as my hair was all of a sudden curly (as it is normally straight)...but I still thought it was cool. It felt different.
After I took the shower, my hair went back to being straight again and, once again, I CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW AWESOME IT FELT.
I guess this experience taught me that - YES! I do love my hair and I just have to be a little patient until my bangs get longer and my overall hair completely gets out of the awkward phase.
I just imagined...if I didn't cornrow my hair and buzzed it off. Right about now I would seriously be crying forever...because it took a lot of patience to get to where I am now. I know I am an unstable person who can't stay with the same look or decision for long...and I am very proud with myself for being able to keep with my decision for long hair 17 months and continuing...(the longest time in my life i've stayed firm with a decision).
Anyway, thanks for reading this. Just something I thought I should share.

Congratulations on sticking this out, growing your hair, and not making a big mistake of buzzing!!!
Cornrows can look cool too though.
Good luck, and post a picture soon!!!
