                                                                   My Hair History              

          I was born in a small town in Indiana and raised in Abilene, Tx. Growing up I always
     adored long beautiful hair, and I would always try to convince my Mother to let it grow. So
     for the majority of my childhood my hair ranged between waist and tail bone length. Then
     as I got older I became a little less interested in the health of my hair. It would stay down
     and uncombed quite often until my Mother eventually grew tired of seeing the hair in my
     face, so she had my uncle cut it to shoulder length. At first I actually liked the change in my
     hair, it looked healthier and it had swing. However as time went by, I noticed more and more
     the beautiful long hair of my good friends and I began to long for the hair I once owned. At
     about the age of 12, with my hair now at about mid-back length, my Mom once again
     decided to have my hair cut..only this time I received a pixi style cut! This time I was not at
     all fond of the change as I was often mistaken for being a boy. It was awful! So it was at
     that time that I made the decision to always keep my hair long.  So to the best of my
     knowledge, between the age of 12 until now, my hair has been kept considerably long with
     only small cuts here and there. Mainly it has been kept and maintained at about waist length.
     It was only in the last few years that I have opted to let it grow possibly to it's terminal length.
     In March of 2007, with my hair a few inches past Classic length, I began to want something
     different for my hair. So with the intention of getting my hair cut back to waist length, I     
     nervously went to a beautician, however after viciously yanking tangles from my hair
     she announced that she would only be cutting it to tail bone length taking off about 6in.
     rather than the approximate 10 I had initially wanted. Looking back now I am very glad
     that she only took 6 in., because when I got home and looked at my hair in the mirror, I was
     astonished at how much shorter it was. However it was not the big difference I had been
     looking for. So needless to say..I won't be doing that again anytime soon :) :)
