One Year!!
Posted by ThatBallGuy on October 05, 2003 at 22:25:45: Previous Next
Well, I've finally reached the one year mark! And I'll be durned if my bangs can't reach my eyes when dry!(bangs, not eyes). I have really curly hair, and when the curl is pulled out, my bangs reach just past my chin, but dry, they tend to stay above my eyes for the most part.
My last haircut was nearly a shave on the sides (sandpapery) and less than 1/2 inch on the top. After one year, it's at 8 inches! yay!!
Anyways, just thought I'd share with you.

P.S. That thing hanging on the left side of my head is my dreadlock. He's 2 weeks old and his name is "Hubert" (Don't ask, you don't wanna know)

I think you have done GREAT with what you have to work with. Looks terrific! Alas...........those with the curly hair "curse" as I call it, for I know they they would give anything to have straighter hair. But, we ALL have to make the best-of-it with what we are born with. You seem to be doing great! The 1 "Dread" is really quite unique and looks neat! Hmmmmmmmm...........now what would I do if my hair were not on the straighter side and I wanted long hair so bad. (These please remember are only my own thoughts as I would never try to tell another person how or what to do with their hair..........but I am just puting myself in your shoes.) For myself, I would do either one or the other: I would have it straightened..........or better yet go the "Dreadlock route" 100% of the way. They (Dreads done well) look so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck. I give you GREAT CREDIT for sticking-it-out for a whole year.

[to Ball Guy] Great looking hair. You have a long way to go, but you have great texture.

[to Justin] Please don't generalize. I would probably not have long hair if mine was straight. My curls are a very distinguishing physical characteristic, and I would never trade them for a flat iron.

Long curly hair is really gorgeous, although it must be a pain in the butt. Alas, my boring straight hair is just like everyone else's :-(

My sincere apologies about the "generalize" thing. When I wrote, (in my mind) I was only thinking of the many many postings having to do with "Curly Hair," and wishing it were straighter. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Indeed, we are ALL different.........and I am sure MANY love Curly Hair. You are correct and I stand corrected. Again, thank you for posting your thoughts. All the best-

No sweat. Maybe I came off a little harshly as well. I think most of the straightening posts come from those who are just starting to grow their har and are looking for length rather than enjoying their hair's texture. It's tough to look at the big picture when it appears to get long very slowly.

Thanks for the understanding Dan. Naturally, the LAST thing I would want to do is offend anybody. Yikes! How true: "It's tough to look at the big picture when it appears to get long very slowly." Said so well! Best of luck to you.

It's not just "short hairs"

I pray to the "hair gods" nightly for straight hair. The longer it grows, the curlier it gets.
It's mid-back, and I'm waiting for longer, stronger, thicker.

If I hit the gym, we'd look pretty similar! My hair's just past the year mark too and is just as curly as yours...Nearly long enough for that undercut...If I decide that's the way to go.
Good show, old chap. Nice to see that there are other people in my shoes as well. Hair wise anyway, if that makes sense...
