So I'm getting a little depressed regarding my hair and let me tell you why...

I have just finally reached over 3 years. I'm getting nice length to it as well however-

I used to be married to an abusive man.

The divorce will be final, GOD willing, this month. But on top of everything, he cut my hair. I was trying to get away from him, he told me to stay on the bed, and me being me, I got up and tried to rush past him out of the room. We struggled a little and he got me on the ground.

He was sitting on top of me, took a fist full of my locks and snip, snip, snip.

That was it for the front of my hair. Now, what I call bangs. lol. It was sooo short in the beginning. It was all I could do to just keep them locked up and not become an afro again. I had to retwist almost every time I washed. Now they are locking and growing back out. But now that my hair is reaching my shoulders my "bangs" are sticking out right at the front of my head!

Now this is the length where I'm supposed to be enjoying my length and doing new hairstyles and I can't because the front is just out of control!

I just don't know what to do. And it makes dreads look bad because the back is all neat and the front looks like I just lost my mind. I'm just praying it will get a little more length by the time the summer comes. ugh.

So what do you guys think I should do? any style suggestions?
