The Ultimate Length Check

A lot of times, I don’t give my hair enough credit for how much it has grown. I remember when I first cut it off in July 2011 and my main concern was that it was long enough to put into a ponytail. Truth be told, I hated the way I looked with short hair. That was never a secret. I look back at pics from when I first cut my hair and I cringe. Yeah, short hair works for some people, but it’s not for me. I can guarantee that my hair will never be that short again.

I decided to finally put a few pics together to acknowledge my progress over the last year and 4 months. I’m kicking myself for all of the trims I’ve done during that time period. I can only imagine how much longer my hair would have been it I wasn’t so scissor happy all of the time. Come to think of it, my hair may have been extremely damaged if I didn’t, so I guess all isn’t lost.

Without further ado, here are the pics…
