Hi, I am new to the forum here. I am a young guy who has finally decided to grow my hair out long. I have always had short buzzcuts ever since I was little. I didnt mind it but I always dreamt of having really long flowing hair. Finally I decided that I was going to grow it out and keep my hair nice and long. I have created this journal to showcase my progress and other hair related matierial as I grow mine out. Any advice will be appreciated :)
As of today, the first day of the journal, my hair is around 3 inches long for the longest strand. My goal is mid back and then I want to donate it to either Pantene Beautiful Lengths or Locks of Love. After it is cut to my shoulders, I then want to grow it out again down to mid back or maybe longer :)

Sounds like your off to a good start! Take good care of your hair now, so you won't have to trim damage later. I look forward to watching your progress. Good luck! ------------- |

I would recommend keeping a monthly log of growth for a few months that way you can get an estimate on what your growth is and set goals accordingly. good luck! i only really notice any growth after about 3 months time frames

| Hi I have an update. I have decided that I may try to increase my goal length from what was mid back to lower back! From talking to everyone on this board and seeing pictures, I really would like my hair to be as long as it can be :) I also am establishing mini goals along the way. LIke my first is shoulder length, then chest length, then mid back, and lower back and maybe even longer to waist :) what do u think please leave feedback ? |

I think mini-goals definitely help. I would say my mini-goal right now is shoulder length and I'm almost there. Funny enough, I don't post about my mini-goals...hmm... need to start doing that! PAPER suggested that to me sometime back and I think it helps not to get discouraged.
Depending on how much it bugs you while growing out, I would suggest dusting the ends every now and again. For me, it helped me not to cut it all off again, out of frustration. BUT, if the shagginess doesn't bother you, just let it grow, grow, grow!
Good luck and keep us updated on your progress! (pics or not)

Thanks Jenn. You should def post mini goals too esp being that you are nearing your first one. It would def help :)I try to dust the ends every now and then probably about every 2 months and also my hair gets really thick so i get it thinned in the summer. I must be weird I love the shagginess it makes me feel like wow im getting long hair :) So im jsust going to let it grow grow grow!! I will definately keep you updated. I love hairbuddies to grow my hair with. I def will be posting pics too dont worry! |

Hey Pburgh! I think you should grow your hair as long as you want, whatever makes you happy.
I agree mini goals are great. It's something to look forward to, because hair grows so slow!
What is your hair texture. Wavy hair might be easier to grow out, the scraggly ends will curl and flip where people with straight hair might have to trim more.

| THanks paper I appreciate it. I will definately let it grow as long as I want and I will be soooo happy once its long :) Im sure you know the feeling :) I just thought of the mini goals too and I thought it was a great idea!! My hair texturs is wavy but it can be alittle straighter too. I hope its easier to grow out. If the ends curl and flip that will be awesome :) I cant wait to see how it looks! My parents still arent too keen on me having that long of a ponytail and that :( But i think they will grow to like it i hope! |
