My hair finally covers my ears! I should have a chin length bob by Christmas, and the shortest layer should be about the top of my ear. Woohoo! This is the longest that my hair has been in a very long time.
There is a girl in my department at school with amazing hip-length hair. It's so difficult to stare at it every day (she is in many of my classes), and it makes me want long hair even more! Sigh. I will get there eventually, but this waiting is hard.

Hang in there - your hair will grow!  Your journal is a great way to record your progress.

Congratulations!  Break a leg!!!

Just as I predicted, my hair is in a bob, with the longest layer right by my jaw bone. The shortest layer is about half an inch above my ear. I would like to continue to grow it out, so that I could get all my hairs to one length, but it's looking like my natural blonde has darkened in the past few years while my hair has been dyed. My roots are now a light brown. If I wasn't in Taming of the Shrew, I would have a stylist color my hair to match my roots.
So it looks like I'm going to maintain this cut for at least three months, getting regular all-over trims to cut the color out. From there I cam going to continue trimming the back of my hair and my bangs only so that the rest of the layers can grow out to one length.

Then what? I'm not sure. Right now I am really digging Katie Holmes' vampy, 20s-style bob, but in a few months I might want longer hair again.
