it seems to me that everyone on this board (and pretty much everyone in general) has a different "life story" concerning their hair. a cycle of different cuts, colors, routines etc. and yet we've all ended up here, on the quest for long hair.
my hair's story goes like this: i had waist-tailbone length, thick, light brown hair for most of my life. then, one sleepless sunday night about five years ago (around june 2000) i decided on a whim that i didn't want it anymore. that week, i cut it to my shoulders. in six months it had grown to BSL, and i cut it again to my shoulders. over the next year, i cut it to my chin twice and my new year's resolution for 2002 was to grow it out again. it reached about 3 inches from BSL by october 2003, and that's when, ignorant of the damage it would do, i made the big mistake to start dying it. i colored it about once a month for 14 months- from bright red to burgundy to auburn to bleach blonde to platinum blonde to dark brown and finally back to my original light brown- and i suffered extreme damage. from my first dye-job to my last on december 7th 2004, my hair had been auto-trimming itself from the breakage and was only about an inch longer. and that's when i made the decision to stop coloring and take better care of it. then i found this wonderful message board and since then, my hair has improved and is well on its way to how it used to be!
i'd love to hear all of your hair stories and find out how you all arrived at the decision to grow your hair long. it'll be interesting to see everyone's various hair background!
much love, katja
