Hi everyone,
Since longtime, I visited your interesting website. There are a lot of good longhair examples with a great personality. It is really hard for me to grow out my hair, I did some efforts but everytime I failed after a few months (my record is only 5 months). One of my aims for 2009 is becoming a longhair. My goal is shoulder length and more and more I get interested in midback length. My last classic haircut (short) was at the beginning of October. It is almost three months that I didn't have a haircut and I want to maintain my efforts in being a longhair. At the moment, my hair reaches my ears (a little bit over my ears). When will I have my awkward stage and what is your advice to maintain my efforts and to be part of your family? Thanks a lot for your support, merry Christmas and keep growing!
Hi, New Fashion. Welcome to the board. The awkward stage varies from person to person. Most people consider it over when it gets to ponytail length. There are two things to remember: first, don't cut your hair. Try to avoid trims for several months. Second, don't listen to all of the negative remarks about your hair. These remarks usually lessen as time goes on, when people realize you are not going to cut your hair just to please them. Feel free to ask questions here on the mlhh, even if you think they might be stupid questions. We are all here to help.
I hope you have a great holiday and a longhaired new year. Keep it growin' and flowin'.

Great to have your comments and thanks a lot. I hope to give updates in 2009!
Welcome!
One thing I went through during my awkward phase (which im still in , but pretty close to being out of) is that my mom kept telling me, "Why dont you trim your hair, it will make it look so much better!" But all that will do is make you stay in the awkward phase LONGER! Also, when people tell you to cut your hair, just let them know that you are growing it out because YOU want it, and they should respect that decision.
Anyways, hope that your hair growing is fun!
Thanks a lot for your support and feedback. It is really a good motivation!
