oh man i remember when i turned 18 i decided to take a road trip to nY at 3am lew my engine in maralyn( i forgot to put oil in my car) and when i finally got to ny i cut my hair soooo short , it was so long! i will never do that again. it took me 3 years to finally grow it out now its starting to get real long again i think my hair grows 1/2 inch a month! Brushing your hair ecessivley causes it to have more spit ends.
