DAY ONE!

OKAY! Freshman year of high school I had hair to my elbows, it was gross because it was unhealthy and I had NO IDEA how to take care of my hair (let alone myself). For my birthday the summer after freshman year, my older brother (C.J.) took me to get my hair cut for Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs from real hair to cancer patient children. (This means a lot because my mother was diagnosed with brain cancer and lost her hair at one point.) Anyways, it was cut just above the shoulders. Since then: June 3, 2009 my hair has never again reached my shoulders. Since that day it's gotten shorter and shorter. And since Junior year (2011) my hair has never reached past my chin. I've pixie cut it again and again. Every time I try to grow it out it makes it to my chin then I pixie cut it again because I get too impatient with it. Well, not this time. This time I have a reason. I want to donate to Locks of Love again. To do this, I need at very least 13 inches of hair to donate. I finally WILL grow my hair out again. Honestly, I look GREAT with short hair and I only have bad memories of long hair. I'm going to change that. Now that I know how to actually take care of hair and style it and such. YAY! I also color it so I won't have my nasty natural hair color anymore. And dying my hair won't damage my hair anymore since I'll be dying it with henna. I know  I can be patient enough to grow it out if it's for a good cause like Locks of Love again. It'll be interesting. Anyway, today is technically not day one since this was decided a few weeks ago. But I count today as day one so  I have a monthly day to go by. I will be posting pictures to keep it updated and I can go back and look at the progress so I don't feel like I'm getting no where. My hair is almost to my chin, once I get past that it'll be fine until I have to make it past my shoulders (which shouldn't be for a while, although my hair does grow really fast, it still should be a while till we get to that point). So yeah, as of day one, my first challenge will be getting my hair past my chin. :3 BELIEVE IN ME! I believe in myself. So I declare today DAY ONE of OPERATION GROW HAIR LONG FOR L.O.L. <3 Friday December 21, 2012 11:31am
