For many years I have wanted to grow my hair out but as soon as I hit the bad hair phase I would last about a week or so get mad at my hair and cut it to about an inch in length. Well last April I decided that I would give this one more attempt and about a week ago my hair started to anger me since it decided that it would do what it wanted and not what I wanted.
This time I decided to seek advice and wisdom from the internet and stumbled into this wonderful message board! After reading several posts and seeing the journey that many of you guys went though I found out that I should look at this as a welcomed journey instead of being a burned..
I am nearing 8 months and after 20 or so more days this will be the longest I have ever had my hair. With any hope and patients I should have several more months if not years of growing my hair out and my new profound respect of the growing stages instead of just wanting to fast forward though them.
Even though you guys didn't know it at the time thanks for all the help and support you gave me to get through and past this awkward stage that my wavy hair has presented.

Welcome to MLHH! It's good to hear you're not giving up, I hope you go far!
It's worth all the awkwardness in the end, or at least I think so! ^^
Good luck and happy growing!
I know what you mean. I would have given up long ago if I hadn't found it.
It's really tough the first year and you're almost there! Be strong. It'll be worth it.
