I had bra-length hair from the time I wa 13 until I was 17. The only reason I cut it then was b/c of a hair color that went wrong. After stripping my hair of all its color and re-dying it, I had to cut it. My hair was so badly burnt, I couldn`t do anythiing with it. Now my hair is just above my shoulders in back with my shortest layer in front right past my chin. I am 19 now and determined to grow my hair long again. The problem: Everyone is just waiting for me to cut it short again. No one seems to believe that I will let it grow long. People are constantly asking me when I`m gonna get it cut again and I feel like screaming. My mom, husband, and my best friend are the only ones that are supportive. When I ask the others why they aren`t supportive this is there reply:" We think you would look great with long hair again, but it takes time and patience to grow hair. You will eventually get tired of trying to grow your hair and cut it short again so you don`t have to fool with it. " Why can`t they just be supportive?
Does anyone else have or has had this problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Follow your desire ! Don`t be bothered by other`s opinion.
Be sure that your hair is in good state now and let it grow. You can cut only the bad part of your hair if necessary, to start with the best condition.
If it`s already right , then continue to let it grow.
If it`s your real desire to have long hair, you`ll find in yourself the support to continue.
Don`t color your hair again, if possible, don`t blow dry , be gentle with the brush and treat your hair like silk.
Good luck !

Hey! If you want to grow it long, go for it! Do what will make you the happiest... I don`t know who keeps tellin you that you should cut it, but I have a theory.... if its mostly other girls telling you, it could be a little bit of jealousy. Maybe they were jealous of it before you cut it the first time. A little story for you; my friend Jennie has gorgeous long straight hair halfway down her back. Its about as pretty as hair can be. But a lot of girls at school are always telling her to cut it (oh, you`d look so cute with short hair...it would frame your face so much better...you know, long hair isn`t `in` right now, you should update your look), but I notice that none of them have pretty long hair like Jennie does, and I think that, if they can`t have hair like hers, they want to cut out some competition. Fortunately she doesn`t listen to them :) Anyway, do what YOU want with it. Hey, if you grow it out and decide you don`t want it long anymore, you can always cut it again. So, good luck, and remember its YOUR hair!
Love, Ingrid

If I had wings then I could take you in
I'd stay on the ground and show you some things
The grass is strewn with blades of gold
all sights and sounds I have been told
all hopes, desires, seem to sing

Thank you so much for all of your advice and support. I really need it. Most of the ones telling me to cut my hair are girls with short hair, so you are probably right. They probably are jealous. I AM gonna grow it long again. It`s my decision, not theirs. Thank you everyone, for helping me out and being my friend.
luv,Shian
