Hi. I am a long time reader and wanted to share my recent story. My wife had wonderfully silky long fine straight hair. Her hair never really holds a curl longer than 1 hours but its beautiful and wonderful to play with. Recently she has grown jaded with her hair and wanted to cut it. I told her how much I love it but she insisted on cutting it. Off went 6 inches. When she got home she told me how much she misses her hair after the first shower. It's going to take at least a year for her to grow it back. Add to that her hair grows slowly it could take well over a year. The only plus is that we might get pregnant soon, so that will help her hair growth I have heard. Other than that, we will wait patiently for it to return. As they say "don't know what you got until it's gone."
