My hair used to drop past my tailbone.
After years without proper care, however, it was irreversibly damaged.
At first I cut it to around my elbows, thinking this would improve its health.
Then I cut it some more, this time, to my shoulders. It only stayed there.
I then realized: my hair was still a mess, and now it couldn’t even “grow” anymore!
So in January of 2025 I decided to “reset”, cut it all off, and start anew.
I wanted to get to the root of the problem.
So I evaluated what I was doing to my hair; what I had done to get it Rapunzel-length in the first place, and how I needed to change to achieve my hair dreams: healthy long hair, not just long hair.
Hello, I’m Natalie and this is the journey of growing my hair back.
In the Spring of 2025 I decided I wanted a life reset. Among many changes I chopped off what had once been, at its longest, over 30 inches of wavy hair. Sounds crazy, right? Lots of people wish their hair could grow that long. So, why on earth cut it??
This blog carries the story of going from super short to Rapunzel length hair, documenting at each step of the way.
