grow baby, grow

okay, i'm trying to grow my hair out so it's healthy and long. for the past 3 years i have bleach washed it twice, laid out in tanning beds for almost 2 years with it unprotected and cut my own split-ends with dull scissors. this post will be dedicated to my hair growing attempts.

i read this long hair blog http://www.longlocks.com/how-to-grow-long-hair.htm a couple weeks ago and i've been trying my hardest to abide by her rules. no, i don't want hair past my butt however, i would like full, healthy hair that's almost to my elbows. i bought some of the products this lady suggested and the stainless steel scissors and i cut off the rest of my dead hair. so i'm praying that this actually works, cause otherwise i'm just gonna resort to extensions and i know those are a pain in the butt.
i'm a person who always wears her hair down, i hate up hair on me. i talked to an old friend at a baby shower a couple weeks ago, whose hair is so long that i thought she must have extensions, and she told me that her hair grew the most when she wore it up for about 6 months and didn't really style it that often. now, i know that me saying that seems like a huge "DUH." but for someone who only wears her hair down, actually realizing the truth to wearing my hair up was a huge surprise for me...
so we'll see how it goes, i'll update on my progress. but for now, no dying, no styling. only trimming and conditioning.... yikes, keep your fingers crossed for me!
