My hair is growing. I knew it would. I'm trying to figure out how to manage it as it keeps growing. I wanted to grow it out before I got to Fort Drum, but it wasn't growing fast enough. So I ended up getting it cut really short. I thought about getting hair extensions before I left. Long hair just seems to be easier to manage when deployed.
Then to top it off, I see one of the captains getting ready this morning and she has a great short haircut! I really like it, and she got it trimmed here by the barber. Hmmm... Can't give in.
Where I will really have problems is with my bangs. I have always had bangs. My mom tried to get me to grow them out when I was younger, but I refused to put the long strands of hair back with barrettes. I always had straggles hanging in my face. So my mom finally gave up and had my hair cut back to bangs. Before it always seemed like my bangs grew so quickly - faster than the rest of my hair. Now that I want them to grow fast, they have gone into hibernation. I don't really like seeing my forehead, so dealing with keeping my bangs pulled back as I go through the awkward transition period between sort of long and long enough will be tough.
