Awwww Im sooo glad u have a great understanding stylist like that. With him by your side im sure you will get the amazing looking hair that you hoped for. I can imagine this is going to be a very exciting upcoming 3-6 months :) I cant wait to see your first ponytail? Are u getting excited? How often do u wear the pigtails?

Thank you PAPER!!I feel so fortunate for my hairstylist, especially considering how many nightmares I've read about from others.

Pburg, I will be glad for the ponytail mostly because of work.  I can't have my hair dangling in patients faces!  Since piggies aren't very professional, I only wear them on weekends when we are outside.  Otherwise I leave my hair down.

Hey MIKE!  Thank you for popping over and leaving a comment!

as always very pretty! I do love your color

This is my monthly growth pic for Sept 1st.  It's a little early but during the week our lives get so crazy busy I was afraid I wouldn't get it done!

I had a little bit of a hair stall this summer.  Which is odd b/c it usually grows faster in the summer.  Anyway, it's picked back up this past month and I think you can tell.  The first pic is air dried and slept on overnight.  The second pic is styled b/c we were going to a Panther game last night.  GOOOO PANTHERS!!! (hope reg-season is better than pre-season...ugh)

 

On another note; I think I've found what I want to do with my hair for the formal wedding we are attending in Nov.  My gown is a black halter neck with deep cleavage and straight skirt.  I'm thinking pin-up-girl hairstyles.  Maybe large pin curls with a red flower over one ear.  What do you all think?  Here's a link to a page with several vintage styles.  You should recognize the style I've described...it's about 1/4 or so  down the page.

LOVE several of the styles on that page but I think the pin curls will do best with my current hair length.

Wow Jenn looking just great. Both style and unstyle. Keep up the good work.

Yay Jenn im sooo glad to see your ponytail :) It looks absolutely amazing i mean if u use a bobbipin for those few strands in the back ull have it all back :) do u like wearing it like that? I love the updo too it looks really good :) Im amazed at how long its gotten :) what have people said about ur hair getting this long?

hehe, thanks guys and gals!

I'm soooo glad I can finally put it up some days!  I can't really have hair hanging down in my line of work, so this is definitely going to simplify my morning routine!  The fun part is going to be finding and trying new styles as it gets longer.  I don't want to be a "ponytail-everyday-girl"!!!  So mixing it up will be a blast!

People at work are amazed at how long it's gotten.  It's really grown this past month, so it seems they are noticing.

Of course, it will be a little while until I can do a lot different b/c of all these crazy layers!  Can't wait to start cutting some of those off this next year!

Nice well at lest some of the goal has been reached. Pony tails. Keep growing. Thanks for the new pics.

I can french braid the top a little but too many layers and too short for full braids.

Your welcome MIKE, thanks for popping in again.  Always a pleasure seeing you here.  You are always so nice with compliments and encouragement!

Thank you PAPER.  Girl, we aren't toooo far away from each other in length now BUT I have those bottom layers to trim over the next year, so I do believe you will stay ahead of me.
