I have let my hair grow out long because I have never really had long hair before. Two things made me realize that I needed to do it. The hair on top of my head is slightly thinner now and I thought it could be a last chance now to have a ponytail without a bald spot. Earlier, when I have had slightly longer hair than I usualy would, I noticed that my hair was wavy and sometimes curly. I LOVE IT..
Now I am having thoughts about dying it. Dying it black is not a big thing, but I am thinking about blue, purple,red. Full merman? But I know how tough it is on my hair if I do it. Bleaching can really abuse hair. So all the exotic stuff might be something to do if I ever start to plan a life with short hair.
