This is the first board that I've ever joined. I stumbled across it by accident. I was searching for styling tips, I forget. Initially I was surprised that such a forum could successfully exist. Then, I was captured by the sincere sisterhood that I've experienced here.
I don't have a great success story to share, but a scissor-happy stylist with short hair chopped my hair to above shoulder length. It grew back within a year to its current below bra strap length.
I never thought about growing waist length hair, but after seeing your glossy waist length hair, Sherrylove, I'm considering it.
