It's three years back now since I had my hair cut super short, pretty similar to Anne Hathaway 's. I liked it for about a month; at first it seemed great, I felt completely free and actually quite relieved that i didn't have to do much at all with it, though I soon realised that I was surrounded by girls with beautiful long hair that were able to do almost anything with it. I decided that my short hair didn't suit me and I wanted to grow it out again. As you can imagine, it wasn't a quick process.
I braided my bangs and clipped them back just so my hair didn't look so boring. From then on, I tried not to let it all bother me too much and instead focused on my schoolwork and living my childhood as normal.
I went through phases where I researched loads on how to make your hair grow faster. I spent ours crimping and curling in hope for something I was happy with. This may seem slightly ridiculous to some people, but it actually affected my self-asteem and confidence. No one took the mick out of me as far as I know and that actually meant alot as I know that I would have felt alot worse if they did.
I learnt, eventually, to forget, keep calm and carry on. I bleached my hair a few times when it was down to my shoulders but recently decided to go brown. Unsurprisingly, it didn't go directly brown in one step but actually went strangely close to my natural medium blonde colour, though slightly lighter.
My hair is now just past my armpits. Since I was first able to start tighing my hair up, I have worn it down about 5 times simply because I didn't like the way it looked and I wanted it out of my way. I usually plaited it at night and put it in a ponytail in the morning. It was only very recently that a friend told me that wearing your hair up constantly can affect your scalp and lead to hair loss therefore I am now making a big effort to get used to it being down. It seems impractical at many times but I am managing and have actually decided that I like my hair now and with my tangle teezer it is certainly manageable. :)
