...could there be any truth to the idea that there might be 2
'awkward phases'?
There is definitely (for most) that awkward phase when growing out from buzz or short to the longer hair...
But there seems to be another period of awkward phase when crossing
over from longish hair into truly LONG hair. Is it REAL or just
my imagination?
Anybody experiencing Awkward Phase PartII?
.
I have noticed this. I first started growing from a buzz cut and after a few months it was really big & looked longer on the sides and all those problems. Then after about a year it started to look good and it wouldnt poof out anymore. I thought it was all uphill from there, but after it got better it started getting worse again. Once I could get it in a ponytail though everything was fine.
i think maybe it might seem more poofy as when the ends are growing round behind your ears, they cover up the poofyness, so you really you just have the back to bother about, but then once those bits appear from under your ears, the ends are really fuzzy and so tend to poof a bit.
I am most certainly in that phase. I am in the middle of long hair and short hair. I don't have too much of a problem with it though. I am getting excited because I can see the end in site now, since I have been growing my hair out for a long while.
I got my hair trimmed just barely in the back because it was uneven, and I would recommend that all of you growing it out do the same if it looks like crap in the back like mine did.
