I always say it. Ask anyone who knows me I feel like I am perpetually trying to grow my hair out but I feel like I have to do it now or it will be never. I'm 34 years old and have minimal gray hairs going on and I feel like before I do start going gray I want to grow my hair out. Also, I miss putting my hair up ina ponytail and something about brushing Alixe's hair which is now longer than mine makes me want long hair again.
I had some pretty cool hair styles lately and I will miss them for a while... I figure I can go back to them again someday. Remember this:
Very fun. By far the coolest hair cut I've ever had but now I want something more feminine. I just read on Dooce that she's growing her hair out too and she's going to blog about it. Something about that Mama and her explanation about how breastfeeding felt like the first time (stapler to the nipple) as she fed her daughter Leta really clicked with me. It was like she totally got it and made me feel less crazy as a new mom. I haven't stopped reading her blog ever since. So, here I go... blogging about my hair on my blog. Cheer me on because it's going to take a lot of cheering to keep me going. My hairstylist is located right across the street from my tea house and I see him everyday. Help me be strong in 2012 and grow it out.
This is me today:
I'm behind you, Aimee. Go for it. You have wonderful, thick, hair with a very pretty natural color. 34, Pffft. That's young! Grow you hair and style it like a teenager. I, for one, will love it!

Flare, you can DO IT! I remember about 10 years ago when you were getting married, your hair was long, thick and gorgeous! I think it will be the hardest for you when it comes to the summertime. by then it will be touching your neck (maybe?) and you will be tempted to chop it off! If you can get through that, you will make it long in 2012!!!!!

Go for it! There are no rules about age/hair any longer!

Definitely go for it. It's just hair, if you don't like how it looks long you can always cut it again later. I've been growing mine out but only because I have no idea what I want to do with it. Having said that, seems as I'm aging I look younger with shorter hair so it's only a matter of time until I chop it. I haven't had hair long enough to put in a real ponytail since I was 11 or 12, though. I don't look good with it pulled back although I really admire that look on other women.
Might be coming out your way later this week. Will SMS you to find out what days you're working (or not).

I've grown my hair out from pixies several times now - the best way to do it is keep getting it trimmed and shaped... Otherwise you end up with the annoying mullet/shag. You can do it!

I'm surprised that you don't like it because you really pull it off. The body in your hair is excellent and really makes the 'do work.
