Growing Out My Hair: The Horror

I am a serial chopper. As soon as my hair gets below the shoulders, I start getting antsy. Then I start getting pixie-envy. Oh my gosh, Michelle Williams new bob! Look at it! Everyone on Boardwalk Empire has the CUTEST pixie cuts! Maybe I should do it too?
Then I start buying hair magazines and before I know it, I'm in the hairdresser's chair, promising her I'm not going to cry and promising that YES, that is how much I want taken off.

NEVER AGAIN. NEVER EVER AGAIN. I'm going to use this post to document my hair regrowth so I can remember how terrible this felt, and hopefully prevent some readers from making the same mistake I did. I chopped my hair back in February, and now that it's July I have a solid series of photos to remind myself why this is a bad idea. So, without further ado, here is a guide to growing out your hair, from pixie to mullet to bob to puff ball, to hopefully some state of normal.
