Four things I didn't plan on...
#1. When I was growing out my hair I grew so impatient waiting for my hair to get long enough to tie back that I measured it centimeter by agonzing centimeter. But once it was long enough to get into a sturdy ponytail, I no longer fretted about incremental growth. One day, when taking out my scunci, my hair tumbled down just past my shoulders. I was amazed. It never occurred to me that my hair would continue to grow unnoticed after I passed the ponytail milestone.
#2. My goal for so long had been to get out of the awkward stage into a ponytail. Now as my hair gets longer, It's great to be able to take a vacation from the ponytail and wear it down and loose.
#3. My hair is frequently getting into my mouth (it's past my chin). I get a laugh when I pull a hair out of my mouth that's still attached to my head.
#4. I thought I would be content to have hair long enough to ponytail, but everytime it gets a bit longer, I want it just a bit longer still...
4 great points!...

Good! That's pretty much how I felt about it last year...

It can be nice. At the same time, though, it can be a bit better to be tied, especially, if you're in a car that has a sunroof. Loose hair can start to look like a flame sticking out of the roof of the car, if it's long enough... A friend of mine had that experience...

:) Familar situation...

I'm planning on waist-length...
