Alrighty then-

I've had a thread like this before but I decided on cutting my hair real short again (it's almost shaven but cut with scissors)...

Hair cut: April 1st, 2007
(lol you can imagine my friends' reactions)


Anyway, I have 2 questions.

Since my hair is very short now, I want to spike it up when it grows a tad longer so I can use that style as it grows, however I have had horrible experiences with gel before and it damaging hair. So I would like to know if pomade/wax is okay to use? I don't know if it is bad for your hair and if it damages it but if it does please tell me that way I will just forget the spiking idea and let it grow.

Second question is- I've been told that cutting your hair with only scissors is better for it's health. However I read online somewhere tht when going for long hair- razor cutting it would be better because it lets it hang down flat and more "thin" and clean. I don't know if this is true or not, so please someone clarify this for me.

Anyway, those are the two questions and now it's time for the pictures!

This is me right now (please excuse my stupid faces - I get bored :p)



Anyway that's that for now.
Let the growing begin!

(I will be updating this thread regularly with progress pictures showing growth)
Peace!

Why would you want thin, flat hair?

Update! -
It's almost beena month (almost) and no major growth (obviously) - but hey I can spike it now!
I started using some wax and it feels much better than when I used to use gel (dumbass) a while ago.
I love the way it makes my ahir look too - not greasy and wet.
It grew a bit so I'm happy.
 
 

Will post more!

Wow... well I haven't updated in a while so here I am updating now on 7/7/7 heh.

Anyway... it's been about 3 months since I cut my hair real short and this is what I'm currently at at the moment.

That's with me still trying to spike it up (it won't anymore... it's too long) other than that I can part it in the middle and it actually comes down. Pretty soon I'll have to wear it like that as it's alredy starting to be very hard to style it upwards...
Anyway that's it for now... will post more pictures.

Well I want hair that falls flat down and doesn't have so much volume (which I unfortunately have) and isn't so "bouncy" which is the look lot's of women try to achieve. I don't want that look - I want to achieve a simple just flat hair. I dunno if I can or not - that's why I was asking 'cause I read it somewhere.

lookin' good!
and i do think that razoring could give you the look you're going for... my ex did it once (he had pretty thick hair) and it gave him the "flattness" he wanted without poofing.

Hmm well... it's too late to try that out now since I already started the growing process and I'm not going to cut it for a while...
But I'm still really not too sure weather it would work or not.
Will update soon with more pics.

Yes Tool does own. :D



Anyway it's finally time for an UPDATE!
August 26th, 2007 pics taken today.
My hair has defenetly gotten longer as I can't even spike it up anymore.
Right now It's a real pain in the ass 'cause I don't have a way of styling it and I don't wanna use any stuff on my hair.
So I just usually put on a hat.

So here are the pics.



 Dunno if you can tell but In these pics taken today, I haven't shampooed my hair in about 2 days so my hair could oil up.

and with the hat:




Well there ya go. I hope I get it to a good length by Halloween -
Otherwise, I just bought myself a new hat that I love and will probably be wearing to cover my hair up for now 'till it grows longer and managable.

Update!

Just another pic...
Right now my hair sucks cause it's at that short growth stage where I can't do much with it for styling so I just usually conceal it in my hat or something... but it's getting there.
It's been about 5 months since I cut my hair and I believe I got about 3 inches of growth (front) and a bit longer on  the sides and back (about 3 1/2 inches)
so I'm happy I'm going just a bit faster than the normal 6 inches in 1 year.
Anyway here's a recent pic for the side growth...


Two more:


(Hair is a bit oily cause I haven't shampooed in 2 days. I usually shampoo every 2 days.

And that's about it for now. My hair doesn't feel dry or anything so - so far so good. :D

Update: 09/25/07

Just a quick update.... it has grown a bit but now it's just being a pain to manage - can't wait 'till it's out of the in between stage... which sadly is going to take a good 6 months more :/
But I am happy with the progress. :)

Update: Oct 28, 2007




So far I measured the sides and back growing much faster and longer than the front.
The sides and back are at 4 - 4 1/2 " and the front is at 3 1/2 "
It's been almost 7 months since I cut my hair and that's about it so far.

Thanks a lot!
My goal length?
at the moment for the end of the one year mark... I would love it to reach my lip.
My goal length over all? Past the shoulders down past my chest. (I have had that once before when I was 14)

At the moment if I pull my hair down straight it reaches almost the tip of my nose... It's just that my hair is still to light and it doesn't fall flat on my face - so It looks shorter.
But so far I'm very happy with my growth.
Mine usually will change - I don't have a steady growth like 1" a monht... but I believe during the summer it's around there... and the winter maybe about almost 1". So far the sides have grown the longest (about almost 6" already - just wish my front would keep up lol)

Oh and lol to the goofy faces thing... I do the same thing (see first post).
