While I liked the way it looked, my mom <em>always<\/em> lamented the loss of my &#8220;beautiful curls.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last year on my birthday, after having found some old shots of me with long hair, I finally decided to start letting it grow out again. I shaved my head one last time on my birthday, and have just let it grow since then. This, then, marks one year of not cutting my hair&#8230;and here&#8217;s the result:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">[<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/11\/12264104_eabedb8d55.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"One year of hair!\" \/>][1]<\/p>\n<p>[1]: http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/12264104\/ &#8220;One year of hair!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bit bunched up from having been in a ponytail holder, but you get the idea.
