Here's what the cut looked like evened out back at the end of July:
Here's what it looks like now, it can't be straightened anymore because it's too grown out, but I can rock it curly now:
All I did for the above hairstyle was take a shower the night before, put a liberal amount of curl-defining mousse in it, and sleep on it. The next morning, with a tiny bit of water in your hands, gently manipulate existing curls into place, and work with whatever style they're giving you that day. This day, my hair wanted the curls to go down the front on the right side...
Here's another shot of a different day, when the curls hung a little differently. Note that there is no right or wrong to this hairstyle, you just manipulate whatever curls developed overnight into a style and away you go.
I am tempted to get another haircut, but I feel like if I do my hair will NEVER grow! So I'm just going to live with it shaggy and all and find some creative ways to hide the awkward stages as much as I can until it's so unruly I HAVE to cut it, and even then it's only getting a trim. I have noticed since I started this journey a year ago, every hairstylist takes too much off and my hair remains short almost a year later. Not falling for that trick anymore. I will be very specific with the stylist about not cutting the length because I really want it to grow out quickly. It's wintertime anyway, so now I will simply rock a hat ;)
