So after pulling out the yarn last week sometime, my hair has been in varying stages of ringlets, curly fro and Sideshow Bob because I've mostly been acting like I still have braids in or dreads - that is, not really bothering to brush it. I'd been plopping on a hat or been like fuck it if I have to leave the house. Considering it tends to fall in a reasonably face flattering shape by itself I didn't see too much point in doing much else.
This afternoon in an effort to stave off a panic attack (don't ask, bad morning), I broke out the pink lotion, brush and hair dryer. My house smells like like a Dominican beauty parlor, but my hair's blown out for the first time in months. It's apparently been growing like a goddamn motherfucker the past year, as it's gone from right about my ears from when I hacked off the dreds last January to below shoulder length in the back. It seriously hasn't been this long by itself since college, so I'm all O_o wtf. The only thing I can think of to explain it is I haven't been under the same kind of constant nerve-snapping emotional stress* since moving into 21, so my hair's breaking less at the ends. Course it has also been almost constantly in yarn, so it's had less opportunity. Still, I'm not knocking it. Considering I don't really plan on doing anything all that different with it in the foreseeable future than I have been and have no plans to cut it I'm rather curious as to how long it intends to get if I leave it the hell alone... be kinda nice to have an elbow length fro again. :)
* other sorts of stress, maybe, but even that's been comparatively intermittent.
