Lately I've been fealing like i want to cut my hair off. Im not going to, simply because I am so far. But it seems that my hair isnt as nice as it was several months ago when it was shorter. More breakage everyday; it seems like if I touch my hair in any kind of way my hand comes back with a strand or two between the fingers. I guess now that I am past the akward stage, I dont like how my hair looks on me. Maybe its because i havent cut it in like half a year, or maybe its because I have all those frizzies on top. That and I never completely cleared up my skin. Just wanted to share discouraging times with you all and to say that I plan to keep growing anyway.
Definitely keep growing it! It's normal to lose several hairs a day, they'll come back. That's one reason why I stopped trimming split-ends. I figure they'll weed themselves out eventually. I didn't like the way my hair looked for a long time. It took a couple years before I even put it in a ponytail and then I looked like a shorthair in the mirror. That wasn't what I wanted but I could always take the hair tie out and feel great. Your hair is wavier than mine so it'll take longer before it starts looking really good but when it does, you'll love the wave. It gives it body. I'm not sure what to say about the frizzies without a pic but they shouldn't be there if you have enough length and waiting a couple years or longer before getting a trim is alright. Hang in there my friend and don't do anything drastic.

I penned some lyrics for you! Your post was an inspiration for me! Hopefully, these lyrics will be for you!
Now, I just know y’all gonna think I’m crazy
But I gotta tell ya how I’ve been feelin’ lately
Some of you may snicker, some my scoff
But I’m feelin’ like I wanna cut my hair off!
I know if I cut now, it’ll leave an emotional scar
After all, I’ve already come this far
Now, my hair may not seem as nice as a few months ago
But for now, a haircut I will forego
Hey, y’all, I wanted to share the news
I’ve got the hair growin’ blues
More breakage every single day
Can’t get a girl to look my way
I’m walkin’ a mile in the awkward stage shoes
‘Cuz I’ve got the hair growin’ blues
If I run my fingers through my hair
I see strands, I see them everywhere
I don’t like how my hair looks on me
I look in the mirror, don’t like what I see
My head is like a bunch of frizzies on top
My hair looks like a worn out, old mop
I haven’t had it cut in half a year
Discouraging times are upon me, but I have no fear
Hey, y’all, I wanted to share the news
I’ve got the hair growin’ blues
More breakage every single day
Can’t get a girl to look my way
I’m walkin’ a mile in the awkward stage shoes
‘Cuz I’ve got the hair growin’ blues
Can’t someone give some clues
On dealin’ with the hair growin’ blues
Man, I’m really payin’ my dues
Yeah, got those hair growin’ blues
Haha, lol. Your inspiration has in turn inspired me. Turning something negative into something positive (i think), bravo. I will save that little song to look back on.
Now git yer guitar and harmonica and sing along!
You should post a pic sometime. That way we can all make fun of you and laugh at your hair!
JUST KIDDING!
Keep it growing! Before long, you'll have a mane like Absalom. Or Bruin. Or Hair Religion. Or anyone else who fills me with envy!
