that as your hair gets longer you will get some big beautiful waves happening. I don't like the way my hair used to look at your length either. I think it's an awkward stage for a lot of wavies - and probably the wavier you are the more awkward it is.
Don't let your Mom's comments get to you. I know it hurts but we all have our own taste and long hair obviously isn't hers. Just look around her house or wardrobe and you'll probably find things that she loves but which you would never have bought in a million years. That's her taste. Same with hair. We're influenced by so many things - particularly the popular media - that we often don't even realise why we hold so strongly to some prejudices.
Your hair looks lovely by the way.
       
Progress from June 2006 - October 2008
2a/M/ii
Mid-Dark brown with natural red and silver highights; fringe/bangs.
Starting length 25"/62.5cm
Current length 35"/89cm
Goal 36"/90cm
Current routine: (Trying to keep it as simple as possible): WC on the weekend following medium oiling; scalp washes every second day; oiling 2-3 nights per week; mid-week conditioning with honey and ACV in water; S&D when I think of it; and dusting every 8-12 weeks.
Shampoo: Organic Instincts diluted with herbal tea (rosemary and chamomile).
Conditioners: A'Kin Protein or Moisturising Conditioner mixed with honey (1 tablespoon of each).
Oils: Favourite is almond oil. Occasionally will use a blend of coconut, almond, olive in the ratio 2:1:1 in summer or as a deep oiling treatment.
Other: ACV infused with herbs (depending upon availability I use a selection of lavender, rosemary, cinnamon, sage, and thyme); BBB; wooden comb; Mason Pearson comb; pure aloe vera gel for smoothing flyaways and fixing hair in place.
'Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfailing beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.' 1 Peter 3:3-4
