I always wanted long hair, but in my conservative world, only girls l could do that. I didn't think of doing it really until around 1988, when I was in high school. I guess the inspiration was Bono from U2. He was so incredibly cool.
But I went to Catholic school so I couldn't grow it out. Our rule was: hair had to be above the collar, above the ears and above the eyebrows. You could get away with violating the eyebrow rule--so I rocked the 80s surfer bangs pretty hard.
Didn't start trying to grow until college. The journey began there and continues…I'm 42 and still trying to grow it out!
