I can pretty much almost sorta claim that I have long hair again, for the first time in over five years.

I had waited nine months before my last haircut, so I was waiting another nine, just to see how much it will grow/what will happen. (I have two months left.) It's starting to look a bit... ragged. I also notice my hair getting lighter as I age, maybe it's all the silvers? ^.^

Getting old sucks at times.

It's not quite as thin as it looks (it IS thin, but not THAT thin), I pulled it over one eye to help to show the length :)

Well, thank you! Since I have a lot of silver showing now, it's tempting to start coloring it again, but SHEESH, that's a pain.

I also wear it back 98% of the time, which makes me long for my super short days.

Yay for snog! How're you feeling? I haven't been reading much LJ lately.

I've just been skimming LJ myself - I'm doing okay; another follow up on Wed, see if I'm allowed off bed rest and okay to drive short distances, etc.

My mom had very straight, very THICK hair, my dad has very thin, naturally curly hair (though closer to wavy than curly). I was blessed with thin, straight hair. My dad went completely grey in his mid 30s, and Mom.. well, until this giant illness hit her in March... I have as much grey now as she had at 58, so it looks like I'll take after Dad on that.

Thankfully, even with my silvers showing, people still guess my age as 26 - 28 at the oldest, which is still six years younger than my actual age, so I'll take it!

This is also about .. two years worth of growth. Reference this picture, which was taken April 2007.

love hair rules! I like it a lot.

Get like a 1" trim or something. i need one super badly but I'm taking off 4 or 5 inches when I get unlazy enough to go do it. I got about that much off last Christmas, so it's been a whileeee.

My self-sworn nine months will be over in October! I'll get a trim then :)

Wow. Looks nice. But then I've always preferred long hair on females with one or two notable exceptions. Yeah, hair does tend to get finer, thinner, and more brittle as we age. I've witnessed it firsthand. I have no idea if I could grow it as long as I used to now.

Mine hasn't gotten lighter on the head anyway, though I think I'll have all white eyebrows in a few years at the current rate.
