I'm in the awkward stage (1 year and a week or two) have thick, wavy hair and have not once considered cutting it, am I the only one? I ask this because I have seen tons of posts by people in the awkward stage always complaining and saying they want to cut it. I've complained, my hair does get on my nerves quite a bit but I could never imagine cutting it, even when I'm having a horrible hair day the thought never crosses my mind. I just feel like I MUST have long hair, it's not a "hopefully I'll make it through the awkward stage" thing, I feel like it's a part of me (though I dont really have it yet) and I will not cut it no matter how many bad hair days I have, no matter who threatens to fire me, even if the girl of my dreams just popped up out of nowhere and asked me to I would not. Anyone else feel this way?
you described my life
Cutting my hair now would be like chopping down a plant...
just as it is about to bud & flower...
I'm sure that almost everyone has contemplated "the cut" if only for a brief second. I had started growing my hair long for a 6 month theatre production I was in. By contract, I was not allowed to cut my hair or even get a trim. That sort of kept the temptation to cut down. Now the production is over and the long hair is up to me. I don't want to cut it. I like it longer. Now I'm entering my 8th month without a cut and it's starting to show results. Next summer when it's time to do the show again, my hair will be even longer!
I saw your progress post last week sometimes. Awesome hair! Mine is slightly less wavy and a little shorter.
Peace to you,

I have wanted long hair all my life. I wanted it when I was five. I wanted it when I was ten. I will not bore you counting up to fifty. Even when I was abused to the point I could not have it I wanted it. Even when a failure to recover from that abuse kept me from having it I wanted it. I finally grew it out in my fifties. I will never cut my mane.
My biggest regret is having never seen what I looked like when I was young. The photos that I have are not of me.
No, you're not the only one who is able to get through the awkward stage without problems. The reason those people don't write to this board is that they don't need any help!
Whether or not you are the only one, I'm glad YOU feel that way. Go for it!!
I feel the exact same.
