I know this doesn't sound like much, but for the first time ever my hair is long enough to put in a pony tail!
  It's not a long pony tail, maybe 4" , but it's progress   can't wait till its long enough for pig tails or cute braids.

Also kinda nice to see how my blond hair looks longer....it's been a long time dream finally coming true

Cute Hon. I think it is a big step, they all are

How did the interview with the magazine go?

I suppose I was lucky growing up in the 1970's and I grew my hair as long as I wanted it. By the time I was 13 it was almost long enough to sit on. I sometimes forget that others who grew up in a more recent era may have been forced to have short hair all their teenage and adult lives. It must be quite liberating for you Michelle!

  I felt the same when I got to put my hair in a pony tail. 

I felt the same way a few years ago when I was able to but when my hair reached down to my upper back, my dad made me cut it all off

yaaayy! It is a great feeling isn't it! Mine is about the same point, I can't wait for it to get longer

It's so nice to be able to share this with my other sisters here!

I grew up in the 70's but never had it long because of my career in the aircraft business which lasted 30 years.

Now that I'm in the motorcycle Biz it's almost expected to have long hair....bonus for this girl!!

congrats!! mine is still to short =/ keep us updated!

Great news. I mostly wear a pony tail because it's so easy and practical for everyday life.

I was a rebel and rebelled against male conditioning all my life, so short hair wasn't ever on the agenda for me! I never had a career like you so there wasn't anything to forcing me to look or to be perceived in a certain way.

I don't know anything about motorcycles but I know some guys who are bikers but they are real Macho types.

By the way your hair looks very short in your avatar pic, is it longer now?

I tried growing mine out, but decided that a short bob suits me better.  I would have loved to have had a chance to look like Farrah Fawcett back then though.

Yes, the avatar pic was taken well over a month ago, I use it to compare how it's growing, the front is getting quite long also, I actually like how it falls in my eyes

Jealous!  The longest my hair ever got in the back was to the collar of a t-shirt.  It takes an absolute eternity for my hair to grow long because I shed like a long-haired cat

I seriously need to find someone who can help me work out a decent style instead of the unruly mass brewing on my head right now.  Talk about getting confused during transition - it gets all wavy and never wants to settle in the right place as it gets long.  I fuss too long with it in the morning and I now curse the wind.  I don't even want to get started about the subway...

ok....I just gotta know...why cant the hair on my head grow as fast as the hair on my legs, grrrrrrr    lol

My doesn't grow much but I've always had my hair constantly long below shoulder lenth for about 20 years.

My pony is just a bit longer, it was surprising when it started to tickle the back of my neck.

Haven't had it cut since I first realized I didn't look like myself, about 1 1/2 years ago.

Congratulations.  I'm a bit jealous, as I would love to be able to do that, but my hair is so thin now that's not going to happen.

Way cool Chellie.  My hair is to my bra band.   I usually use a hair barrette to put it in a ponytail.  I have to have it back because it can get in the way when working with my patients.  They like chewing on it.

My pony tail is about 6 inches long again after having it cut short for a few yrs. 

Even though its at this really awkward length where you cant do much with it, I am really quite excited to see it getting longer  

Its always been quite thick even for blonde hair and I have been seeing lots of cute ways to style it as it grows..I'm just gonna let it get as long as I can stand it...Yay!

My cousin who is the same age has always had long hair in a pony tail, but he followed the Grateful Dead and other bluegrass bands for many years so his style is "older hippie" classic, of course living in Durango Colorado he fits right in, lol
