I'm feeling very anxious!

[NJoy]

My hair is officially at the length that I usually get tired of it and want to do something different. Either I color it or cut it. Either way, I think this is as long as it gets. I've never been good at taking care of my hair and I'd usually have it in a ponytail, which looks crazy at this length if it's not healthy. When I'd want to wear it out, I'd go get it done. When my ponytail starts looking like a crackhead squirrel's tail (you know. it's all dry, brittley and thin. SOMEbody knows what I'm talkin' about), I'd get it cut. Heck. I just had it cut right before the New Year.

So from this point on, I'm in uncharted territory. I knew I could grow my hair to THIS length but, I'm trying for MBL and then onto WL. Yiiiiiiiikes! I'ma need some hand holding moving forward, ladies.

If you're longer than you've ever been, please share your story of how you got past your normal length and how you felt about it. Uh, and a little hair porn would be great too, if ya care to share. Thanks!

Well I did a sneak peak length check the other day and I am longer than I have ever been. All my life I have hovered between below APL and just above BSL.

Now my longest layer is past BSL and I am not that far from MBL.

I think by going natural I saved my hair and I am now allowing it to grow to its potential natural length. When I had a relaxer my ends broke off all on my shoulders and in the sink. Now, I mean I can't even remember the last time I saw a broken end.

Well....um...i can't actually offer any advice about overcoming that anxious feeling.
I just got close to the point where my hair usually stays, which is around APL, and I got bored and anxious and antsy and started twiddling my thumbs and the next thing I know, I was on the bus going to the salon to get a neck length bob.
and i love it.
so...um, yea...i'm no help.

Girl, you're just as bad as I am. Please don't tempt me. I've done that too many times. I'm on a mission to see if I can get it to grow long. I know a cute neck length bob feels SASSAAAY! That's the main style that I like to wear because it feels so sassy. And add some color and you can't tell me nuthin!

Thanks for feedback.

How are you wearing your hair now that you'd have to sneak a peek? Or do you mean a stretched/straightened hair length check? I wish I could stop peeking.
