For about 22 yrs I kept my hair WELL below the middle of my back...but in Feb I decided to lose my mind and cut it short... Nevertheless I LOVE it short, but I am missing it long now, so I am growing it out. It is already below my shoulders when it is straight! YAY!
But I usually get my hair cut every 2-3 mos. When I used to get it highlighted I would go every 8 weeks or so bc I HATE it when my roots grow out. Now I dyed over the highlights so I don't color it anymore... I probably will get my highlights back eventually though, they looked awesome...
