The hair chronicles...

So I've had two rather ranting blogs, thought I'd post some humorous thoughts - especially for you, Rachel, who knows of my hair discontentment issues.
It's not that I'm discontent with my hair itself, just the style...

My senior year of HS my dark hair was long and flowing down my back - it had taken me 4 long years to grow out the hideous orangy-yellow hair diye I ventured to use the summer before 9th grade. Every morning I curled, braided, bobby-pinned or barretted my long locks into an array of styles.
But alas, upon graduation the idea occurred to me that I should cut my hair and get a "new look" just before going to college. Oh the dreadful day I let the salon woman slice over 12 inches off. Then the adventure began...

I could never get quite the right style - went to every stylist within 30 miles of college who charged less than $20, never quite finding the right look. Don't quite know what I was looking for.

Now it has been nearly 10 years since that first chip chop and I have tried unsuccessfully twice to grow back those long lovely locks. But I will not give up! The time has come once again to face the horrid in-between stage with vigor. It WILL grow and it WILL be long once again.

I wish I could come up with some religious conviction or that my dear hubby would beg me to grow it out. Then at least there would be some outside force carrying me through the shoulder-length blahs. But alas, I have not the conviction and my hubby says he loves me and whatever I want is wonderful. I could shave it all off and he'd think that was cool...

It WILL grow and it WILL be long once again.
