I'm afraid I may have ruined my hair. I've been growing it out for years. The last time it was as long as it is now was more than 12 years ago. I cut it short when I was about 20 and it hasn't made it much past my shoulders since then. I love having short hair. Its easy and cute and sassy. But let's face it, its not as sexy as long hair. I decided to grow it out 4 years ago, and it was going well. But then, as you all know, I decided to lighten the ends a couple of weeks ago and I think now I may have to cut them off. They are dry and brittle and fuzzy and I feel so sad and defeated. I know, I'm being dramatic. Its just hair, and if I do end up having to chop off an inch or two, it will grow back.
Even though I know it really doesn't, I feel like my hair looks like this:

Just for fun, this is me about 5 years ago with short hair

Well your hair doesn't look dry at the ends but I know how you feel. I hate having dry split ends. I'm sorry.
But, you look so great with short hair too. You are hot! And a couple inches will grow back fast!
I love your short hair. But long is amazing too. Are you a no-pooer? You need to be a no-pooer to get those ends in shape.
Kate - I'm not totally a no-pooer, but I definitely don't wash my hair daily. Probably 2-3 times per week. But, I am a grocery store product user....I just can't afford to spend the dough for good product. I usually have an Aveda leave in conditioner or curl cream - but everything else I put in my hair comes from Costco. I'm so ashamed!
don't cut it! try coconut oil. just on the ends. it leaves it really really soft and not oily. it's what saved my hair when i bleached it white.
it's funny but i talked to other girls who shaved their heads like me and we had long hair dreams all the time when we were bald. it made us all want to grow our hair out like yours. so i'll be in the funky grow out stage for quite sometime. only wishing it looked as great as yours.
Julie - you are like the 4th person to recommend coconut oil. I guess I better try it! My sister and sister in law use it on their faces as moisturizer and on their hair.
Also, I always had long hair dreams when I had short hair. I always dreamed that if I just brushed, combed or parted my hair a certain way, it would be long. I would get so excited, then be so disappointed when I woke up with short hair. So weird!
