Twenty Three and a half inches on May 7, 2007...

Back on February 7th I wrote a post about letting my hair grow. I want to enter the 2010 Taft Oildorado Pony Tail Contest. For the pony tail contest in 2005, there were quite a number of ladies with long hair and I decided then that I would not cut my hair, so that I could enter the 2010 contest. The contest will not start until January 1st of 2010, when it will be officially measured, but my hair has some growing to do and I need to find a special way to style my hair for the contest.

In 2005 there were entries for color of hair and pony tail styles. I will be able to enter for quite a few different hair colors! Brunette, red, and white. Or should I say red, white and brunette! Sometimes I pull it back and braid just the tail and other times I French braid to the nape of my neck and let the tail flow! I have also started wearing my hair wrapped around my head in braids like my grandmother used to wear hers...

Now my hair is 23 1/2" long and 27 1/2" when pulled straight! On February 7th it was 21 inches long. Okay, that is 2 1/2" in three months, at that rate it will grow 10 inches in one year. At this point I am shy 1/4 of an inch of the projected rate needed...10.25" a year. The next measuring will be on August 7th. When I was young, my mother told me that I needed to brush my hair 100 stokes a night, so I am going to start brushing my hair 100 strokes every night for the next three months to see if this will help!!!
