My hair is longer
I noticed a year or so ago that my hair seem to be longer than it had been before that. I last cut it in 1993, when I had about 8 inches whacked off, thinking that it would grow longer because I had removed the split ends. But, this didn't actually happen, and it settled at a slightly shorter length where it remained for the next two decades.
Maybe menopause is good for hair? You wouldn't think so - the tradition is that old women have thin hair.
Anyway, I've been encouraging hair growth by braiding it more, rather than just sticking it in a ponytail. This does two things: keeps it from flying around and getting tangled and breaking during later brushing, and also the hair tie ends up in a slightly different place each time, so it reduces the breaking at a single place. And, it seems like it's grown another inch. It's a little hard to tell, because the ends are kind of ragged. Who woulda thunk?
Sometimes I'm a little concerned that if something is growing quickly in your body, something else might be growing quickly in your body that you don't want. Let's hope it's not that.
