I am desperately trying to grow my hair. Right now, it is in that strange stage where it's getting kinda long, but not long enough to do anything with. For example, I can fix my hair in a short pony tail. But, I can only do so with a dozen bobby pins. Some times, I feel really frustrated with the length and layers of my hair, so much so that I at times feel that maybe it would be better to simply chop it all off!
When I feel impulsive for a haircut, I visit Strawberry Koi's YouTube channel for inspiration. Aya has plenty of tutorials on how to style hair in retro fashion. A favorite is the Classic Heidi Braid tutorial. Another is the 1950s Reverse Pompadour Rollback tutorial. Thanks for these videos, Aya. Grow, hair, grow!

Every so often, I play with Photobooth. While I was in the process of deleting old files and photos, I found these Photobooth pics, taken over the last two years. It's amusing to see how my hair style has changed over time.

This is it. I'm going to grow my hair and I want it to look just like this, but in black.

And since I was late, I didn't take the time to fix my hair. Strangely, I received a compliment. The girl at Peet's Coffee remarked on my "wild unruly hair" -- which she said she loved. Since the likelihood of duplicating this look is pretty slim, I thought it would be nice to immortalize it. So here it is, my wild unruly hair, which received a rave review today.
Here's a close up:

I learned about this from Aorta Design. These photos are products of Yearbook Yourself. My favorite is Pugly circa 1980, third row, first photo.
