I'm growing my hair out, which extremely difficult for someone who is constantly chopping on her own hair. Hair has never mattered much to me. I'm glad there is little photographic evidence of that, but I did shave my head when I was 15 and have changed the color about a million times covering most of the rainbow including a green that made my short spikes resemble a lettuce patch and an exciting incident in which I ended up with red ala Little Mermaid. Anyway, since it's at an awkward stage, not short and not long, I put it up a lot. I wanted to get some cute accessories to make it less likely that I'll randomly chop it all off again. Hair accessories are hard to find for a decent price and the ones I did find lacked character. I decided to whip up some of my own.
