Yesterday I straightened my hair to see how long it would grow, because I'm going through a color transition and I'm anxious to keep it 100% natural, so I was shocked by how long it would grow! I feel like Rapunzel, it's been years since I let my hair grow like this, I'm surprised I haven't freaked out and cut it with my 2016 school scissors yet. Btw, I think it's super pretty even with so many colors..

I'm not sure if this is related, but I got my hair cut short into a bob shortly after I turned 6 years old and right before my folks an I moved a few minutes away into our current apartment due to how matted and tangled it got (I had fine, naturally straight hair as a kid before puberty hit me like a truck at the age of 9, and apparently, finer hairs tangle up super easily) and how I'd scream like hell whenever my mom would brush it (my scalp was quite sensitive as a small child) and I personally HATED it. Upon starting 1st grade almost a month later in September 2012, I'd see how almost all of my other female classmates had long hair, and I'd always be so envious of them and their sometimes waist long hair (it also didn't help that I was such a girly girl and didn't feel comfortable with my tomboyish looking short hair that just didn't feel right and looked/felt so out of place on me).
Ever since then, I've made it a point to grow my hair (or at least the bottom, back layers of it) out to waist length. A few months after the horrible haircut I had gotten, my hair finally grew out long enough for me to start wearing pigtails again and I remember being super excited over that. Even though I knew it would take several more years for me to fully regrow my hair down to my desired length, I was at least able to wear my hair in a more feminine sort of style sometimes (my mom didn't let me wear my hair like that all the time due to the risk of traction alopecia, so I only got to wear them once or twice a week) in the meantime and was content with that (especially after I turned 7 and started watching reruns of shows like the original Powerpuff Girls and the original Rugrats and saw how characters like Bubbles and Angelica Pickles would wear their hair like that).
