I placed a post over a month ago and got some advice from Jenny, which was really great. She suggested that I grow many of my layers out and try to get a better shape to my hair before continuing to grow it. At this point I was wondering about going for shoulder length hair.
When I last had a trim, the stylist shaped my hair much better and the hair is now growing from the crown down just reaching my ears at the moment. Some side hair is covering the ears. I had intended that the back be cut back a lot more to try and get a more even shape to the style but she did not cut it back as much as I wanted. I have to say that I am glad though now.
The reason why I am writing this is that last night I decided that I am absolutley committed to growing my hair for at least the next two years and possbly beyond. I want my hair at least mid-back in length.
My hair is current between collar and shoulder length at the back, passed my ears at the sides and I am growing my hair from the crown down (and it has just passed the tops of my ears).
Bearing my overall aim in mind, the questions I have and would appreciate any advice on this are as follows:
1. Should I just go for one style now that will grow out to the length I want with little adjustment. For example, grow my hair into a one length style and then just grow it from there. OR, should I go for different styles at different lengths and stages of development, say a bob type cut initially (like Gillian Anderson), then going for a mdeium length style and then finally a much longer style. Can anybody suggest any styles for these different stages.
2. Should I keep my bangs or grow them out. If the latter has anybody got any advice for keeping hair under control and out of my eyes as I do this.
3. Should I keep my hair layered or go for a one length do.
4. Any tips for actually growing and maintaining the rate of growth and condition of hair.
5. Any other suggestions.
Thanks,
Paul
