Pburgh56 Hair Journal :) Feel free to comment

Hi, I am new to the forum here. I am a young guy who has finally decided to grow my hair out long. I have always had short buzzcuts ever since I was little. I didnt mind it but I always dreamt of having really long flowing hair. Finally I decided that I was going to grow it out and keep my hair nice and long. I have created this journal to showcase my progress and other hair related matierial as I grow mine out. Any advice will be appreciated :)

Sounds like your off to a good start! Take good care of your hair now, so you won't have to trim damage later. I look forward to watching your progress. Good luck!

 welcome to the club!  And i am sure you will find all the advice you need from everyone active on the journal boards. The hardest thing is to stick with the posting. I know we all get side tracked but really i love going back and looking at all the progress i've made and it helps me want to stick to my goals.

Paper: Thanks sooo much. I am off to a good start Ill have to post a pic of my hair now. I am definately taking good care of it now because I want to grow it as long as I possibly can in the shortest amount of time. Im anxious to have my long locks and to run my fingers through it.

Thanks smilinjenn71 I appreciate it :) I am glad to be here and I look forward to posting updates :)

Update: I havent had a haircut since February. MY hair is around 4 inches long all over. I can successfully straighten it now and it is looking really shaggy. Cant wait for my ponytail and to my goal of mid back. SOrry now pics :(

I would recommend keeping a monthly log of growth for a few months that way you can get an estimate on what your growth is and set goals accordingly.  good luck! i only really notice any growth  after about 3 months time frames

Thanks suicides eve I will def do that. I was going to take pictures montly as well to keep track of how long its getting :) How is ur beautiful hair doing?

Hi I have an update. I have decided that I may try to increase my goal length from what was mid back to lower back! From talking to everyone on this board and seeing pictures, I really would like my hair to be as long as it can be :) I also am establishing mini goals along the way. LIke my first is shoulder length, then chest length, then mid back, and lower back and maybe even longer to waist :) what do u think please leave feedback ?

Thanks Jenn. You should def post mini goals too esp being that you are nearing your first one. It would def help :)I try to dust the ends every now and then probably about every 2 months and also my hair gets really thick so i get it thinned in the summer. I must be weird I love the shagginess it makes me feel like wow im getting long hair :) So im jsust going to let it grow grow grow!!

I will definately keep you updated. I love hairbuddies to grow my hair with. I def will be posting pics too dont worry!

Hey Pburgh! I think you should grow your hair as long as you want, whatever makes you happy.

THanks paper I appreciate it. I will definately let it grow as long as I want and I will be soooo happy once its long :) Im sure you know the feeling :) I just thought of the mini goals too and I thought it was a great idea!! My hair texturs is wavy but it can be alittle straighter too. I hope its easier to grow out. If the ends curl and flip that will be awesome :) I cant wait to see how it looks! My parents still arent too keen on me having that long of a ponytail and that :( But i think they will grow to like it i hope!

Better start with them pics!  It is fun to see the progress of your hair's journey.  I wish I took more of the back of my head.

Awww I wish u did too. I am going to start soon. Im just trying to get my camera to work haha. Technology is a pain. Any requests for pics?

Hey!! I just found this. Very cool that you have a hair journal. Check your PM, I just sent over a message.

I think pics taken straight on, to the side and definitely the back are good choices!

OKay thanks ill start taking some soon as soon as this camera gets fixed lol
