I'm still sad about losing those 2 inches. It took soooo long to grow it. That will teach me to stay away from the heat. It's really weird how when I was younger I got my hair blowdried and pressed every 2 weeks and never suffered damage. It was long and seemingly healthy. I don't ever remember crispy ends. I suppose our hair does change as we get older. I suppose it's a little more fragile now...which sucks!!!
I've been on NP more lately, trying to get inspired. It saddens me to see everyone else's thick locks growing and I'm starting over...kind of. I know others have chopped more than once for the same reason, so I'm not the first to learn the lesson the hard way. Good news is hair grows...
