This is soooo hard, need support!

Hi Megan;

I know what you are going through. When I was in grade three, I had butt length hair, my mother figured that it was too difficult to deal with so she tricked me into sitting for a `trim` and I ended up with one of those horrid Dorothy Hammill page boy hair cuts. I cried for days. I think I am still scarred by the whole thing. After I left the military I decided there was no reason why I couldn`t have long hair and started growing. Every time I wanted to give up and just get it cut, I went and bought some pretty thing to tie my hair up with or tried to braid it in a new way or I visited a friend with really short hair. Hacking off my hair would mean I would have a suitcase full of accessories I couldn`t use (which I just love) and would be like everyone else. Yes, I had the Jennifer Aniston Rachel cut. Yes, I`ve had a bob cut. The moment I cut my normally bra length hair I`ve instantly regretted it and got back to growing it out. This time when I just thought I was fed up, I bought some lovely hair sticks, and you know they won`t work in medium length hair.

I give myself a little incentive to keep growing my hair and I can now do so much more with it than I ever could do with short or medium length hair and when I dress up formally, my hair goes formal too.

Good luck with your growing and treat your hair well
