Here are a few great ones: Mona's "I hate my bangs", Zoella's Hair History, and tons of great hair tutorials over at A beautiful Mess.
So here is mine.
To give you an idea about how clueless I am about hair, here is a conversation I had with my co-workers (who both have gorgeous long hair and are very talented in styling it) yesterday:
K: "You have to try this amazing curling wand I bought, it's awesome."
R: "My hair doesn't hold the curl very well. It takes me at least a couple hours with my curling
iron. How long does it take with the wand?"
K: "I use it 10-15 per section."
Me: "Oh you keep it on for 10-15 minutes?"
K+R looking at me with disbelief and pity.
Apparently your hair would catch on fire or just fall off if you use a curling iron for such a long time. I had no idea.
Here's the thing: I am clueless about hair. For the last 10 years I had it short, mainly because I wouldn't know what to do with it when it's longer. I convinced myself that I'm just not a long hair person. Pixie sounds so cute, and I truly love short hair on women.

So I'm in the process of growing it out. And it's a real pain! I have now entered the feared "awkward stage" and I am ready to chop it all off.
These terrible pictures prove that almost all my photos are heavily edited. Now you know why. |
So far I keep myself motivated with pictures like this:

Here is a short hair history:
This is the only photo I could find of me with long hair. I was 10 and the tannest I have ever been I my life. |
16 years old. I thought that red streak made me cool and rebellious. I'm also wearing leather pants. |
22 years old. Used variations of red auburn drugstore hair dye excessively. |
Growing pains |
Yes I'm 33 years old and wearing pigtails. (Did I mention that I'm styling-challenged with my hair?) |
Mini-Bob? Black and white makes everything look better. |
