Swing hair

At high school graduation, my hair was shag short. I've always hated this picture, it's downright humiliating, and worse, the photo will always appear to haunt me, every time I open my high school yearbook to reminisce. Talk about suffering the consequences of bad fashion choices...

I didn't know how long it would take to grow out my hair, but as soon as I left for college I started on the project. Which basically meant suffering through bangs in the eyes, and that in-between phase where the bob is too short for a ponytail, and pigtails look stubby and ridiculous.

Three years later, I'd managed the switch. It was everything I'd been hoping for.
