Rapunzel, Rapunzel...

Well, not quite... But I wanted to give an update on the status of my hair.  And it’s a good one.  My hair is steadily gaining density as well as length and I am pretty keyed up about it.

Per my last post, my hair was inching past shoulder length, struggling a little with the gap I had dead square in the middle.  Even with that, I was progressing.  But I was also getting a little impatient with the process.  Amassing volume was one thing while length was another.  And I was more than a tad frustrated with the lack of the latter.  So I decided to be more mindful of how much I was cutting and, instead, started to focus more on length.

Well, I must say that I have seen improvement, which makes me happy!  Do you see it, too?  My hair is dropping (i.e., my hair’s weight is shifting to the bottom) due to its growth.

You can see the difference in my curls; they’re now fuller, longer.

And the patch near my temple is filling in nicely as well...

There’s not too much more I can say that the pictures don’t already convey.  I’ve been sticking to my usual hair care regimen, but I should also tell you that I’ve been pulling (more like tugging) on sections of my hair to help its progress.  I know, I know - it sounds crazy!  It may be a placebo effect, but I’ve been “tugging” for years and I really think it aids in stimulating growth.  *SHRUGS*

Anywho, I like what I’m seeing.

I like how I’m feeling.

I’m starting to feel like my former self.

And that feels good.

good. Well, I must say that I have seen improvement, which makes me happyI’m seeing.  I feel like I’m returning to my former self.  I feel good.
