For when my hair gets longer

So, there is no getting around the fact that I'm going to have to have some short hair for a while until I get long hair again. The last time I had short hair was around the time of this pic:
I'm the little gal in the shortest hair. Which is longer than my current hair. Ugh.
I had this idea that I would be able to wear my wig until my hair was miraculously long enough to skip the whole short hair stage. But I'm so sick of that thing that I will probably burn the wig as soon as I possibly can. Not that it's not great - it is, it's just freaking HOT and not my own hair, so this time of year it is just the worst and I can't wait to be done with it.

My hair has started to grow back early - before I'm done with chemo, so I have a "tiny head start" (get it), and it's currently about 5/8" long - not that I've measured it, but ok, yes, I've measured it. Oh, and.... to be clear, it's WHITE or mostly white. Look, when you go from coloring your hair for years, to shaving your head off to prepare for a wig, you get a good hard look at the true salt and pepper-ness of it all. And let me tell you, there's a lot more salt than pepper. And interestingly, as it's coming back in, the white seems to come in first, and now the black is showing up too, but it doesn't stand much of a chance - lots more white in there.

Which brings me to the point of this post - what am I going to do with this hair???? - when it's long enough to make into something. And that makes me laugh too - because the styles you are about to see below are all LONG compared to my current hair. That's funny!! hahahahahahhahhahaaaaaa- I think these are pretty cute though and are also white - what do you think? They of course all look like models - which I am not - but I will admit that I have an awesome looking head - compared to others (see above pic - i know - awesome!!!)

Pretty cute look - I still need about an inch or so more for this I think.
2 inches from now? Maybe?
Whoa - a little edgy - we'll see.
Her s/p is quite awesome - maybe I'll shoot for this when it's a lot longer.
This is closest to what it will look like in another 1/2 inch. If I looked like her
I would think "SWEET" - I'm so hot! 
Looking at these pics reminds me that currently I'm still without much in the way of eyebrows or lashes. I'm starting to see the beginnings of eyebrows again, but the eyelashes are a little slower on the comeback. Hurry, you little bastards!!!!!
