Tulip Trying To Grow
Dec 29^th, 2005 at 4:56am

Hey everyone! My name's Tulip and I'm trying to grow my hair to my waist (approx. 28 inches from my scalp). So far it's short and dyed red (which I'm hating). I'm naturally a brunette and have had an extremely hard time growing it really long. Getting it to my collarbone was a big achievement for me! I've worked it out to take around 5 years to do and I've joined to support others and hopefully get the same in return! Thanks!

Hello, Tulip

You've certainly come to the right place for support. Do you have any short-term hair goals? I am currently waiting on 24 inches myself, so I kind of know where you stand.

Your natural haircolour sounds lovely. I would just about kill to have long, shiny, dark hair. Alas, mine is light brown. Undecided

So you're lucky!

Best of luck reaching 28 inches!

Thanks all! It's a pleasure to be here.

Not yet! If I am going to go back to colour it'll only be a demi to make it shinier and enrich the colour. (Well that's the plan! Wink

)

Your natural haircolour sounds lovely.

My short hair goal is to get it past my shoulders. Once it gets to that stage it's a bit easier, because I'm in love with it and can't easily bring myself to cut it!!

And thank you! It's a dark brown (around a lvl 3 for any hairdressers here) and has a natural wave. In the sunlight it goes sheer honey with red tinges which goes nicely with my golden brown eyes and I'd *love* to recreate this with dye so that I don't have to stand around in the sun to get the effect!

If there's anything I can do to help anyone else along this (seemingly forever) path, lemme know! Grin

I have a few friends who grew out from buzz cuts.. and they're past 30 inches of fabulous hair now. Welcome Anais

That's exactly what I want! It's comforting to know others have done it and been successful. Thank you!
