Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

I am in the midst of the long and arduous process of growing out my hair. You see, I used to have wonderful, long, fabulous hair. Then my dumb ass went and, well, screwed things up. Let us look at the evolution of my hair, including some bad hair decisions.

The first picture was taken in 2004 with Kristen, and see? It’s wonderful, long, and in my natural hair color. This was before I started doing stuff to it. Then, in spring ’05, I decided to go for the heavy bang and “sparkle”. Sparkle was just mini mini mini highlights, but it opened up a whole can o’ worms. That can of worms turned into… my quasi-neapolitan-colored hair. Is it orange? Brown? Red? Blonde? I have no idea.

After that, there was a period where I dyed my hair black about 4 times. It looked sort-of ridiculous on me, even though my natural color is pretty close to black. (I tend to hide from cameras, so I can’t find any pictures of the black hairs).

Then, after the black faded, in Fall 2007, I cut all of my hair off. It was halfway down my back by that point, fried from going back and forth from black to other stuff, and needed to be cut off. Plus, e’erybody was doing it. For a year, I continued to make the bob shorter and shorter and shorter. Then, we bought my engagement ring, and it hit me.

Crap, I have to grow my hair out now. I want long hair for our wedding.

The last photo is where my hair is now. The natural color is finally back. I rarely use heat on it, and have been trying to be as gentle as possible to it so that it’ll be great-tabulous by the time June rolls around!

I’m sure so many of the brides out there are going through the same exact thing. Hair-growin’-out is a pretty common thing for wedding land.

Anybody else growing their hair out after some pretty stupid hair decisions? Did you get hit by the bob craze of ’07?

Next up: Wedding hair inspiration! Let’s see how I’ll try to put my (hopefully) long hairs to use!

I think you look great in all your hair iterations, Scissors! I’ve always had pretty long hair and luckily a long engagement means plenty of time to grow it out if necessary Now I’m considering taking prenatal vitamins since I’ve heard they do wonders for hair + nails…

I feel your pain. I have just gotten rid of the heavy bang from my college experimenting. Keep on growing!

I had luscious long hair and then, I got a bob in ‘07! I kept it for about a year, so when I graduated from college in ‘08, I looked like a weird English schoolboy wearing my cap and gown. Now I’m growing it out again for my wedding, and it is just passing my shoulders now. I would like about 6 more inches before August though!

Yep, fell for the bob craze of ‘07 too. But it was fleeting and luckily I had already started growing it out before I was engaged.

I had a pixie cut in high school, grew it out for college, had long hair freshman and sophomore year of college, and then cut it all off. Like an idiot.

After over two years of growing, I’m finally back to where I was four years ago. Of course, I have no intention of wearing my hair down for the wedding, which makes you wonder why exactly I’m dead set on growing it out..

I’m definitely in hair-growing mode. I’m being more gentle on it that I’ve ever been, and I seem to be making prgress, slowly but surely. It’s longer than it’s been in years, but I’d still like another 6 inches by october. Clearly that’s not going to happen, so I’m going to extension route.

I’m totally in the same boat. I’ve been growing mine out since before we got engaged, and now it’s armpit-length (gross description, but now you know what length we’re talkin). I have to blowdry it every day, but other than that I don’t do much to it, so hopefully it’ll be in pretty good condition for w-day.

I went through the changes, too. It took me a while to grow mine out after the short bob, but it’s nice and long now. Finally! Your length is great! And figure by June, you’ll have another 3 inches (without trims) so you’ll be in good shape!

haha, I went from a bob to a crop in ‘07. But I’m not growing it out, I’m keeping it short for the wedding.

I also fell for the bob craze of ‘07 but luckily, I suppose, I immediately regretted my decision and started to grow out my hair again. So now after 2 loong years it’s finally long again.

I’ve always had long long hair, but I wanted a slightly intricate up-do for the wedding, and my stylist actually asked if she could cut it to make styling easier! I was shocked, and a little scared. But, I’m still having so much fun styling it and have a lot more fun now that it’s shorter. Who knew it could be so liberating?!

I love the style in the pic that you’re wearing sunglasses…so cute!

And, as I lamented on yesterday, I too am attempting to grow my short bob out to a reasonable up-do length…under 5 months left….eeeek!

i made one stupid decision in my life. cutting my long hair [it was down my back!] to my shoulders. never again. i found a happy medium just below my shoulders and that is where it will be forever.

I always wanted dramatic changes when I got my hair cut so it never made it past my shoulders but then my stylist decided I needed to try and grow it out and I’m so glad. About a year ago I started saying that I wouldn’t cut it until after I got married and once I got engaged I was glad that I hadn’t chopped it off!
