Beautiful hair, Vanille_

It looks so soft, shiny and thick!

First of all. I am so peeved right now. Photobucket changed its editor and I can't figure out how to get side-by-side pictures now. GRRR. If you know the secret, let me know!

So here's my six month progress. I'm very pleased with it. I tried a lot of things since I came to this site. I'm still finding what works for me. For a while I CO washed but switched back to CWC. I found Manic Panic Vampire Red and LOVE it. I found out about coconut oil and a BBB and love it! I also like Chi Silk Infusion.

It's long enough, that I need to think more about protective styles. I'm looking into that. I fidget with my hair too much - braiding, unbraiding loose braid, ponytail/unponytail, clip/unclip, and brushing in between. I need something tight enough that it won't move around. I'm not having a lot of luck with buns and hairsticks so any advice would be great.

I only did one trim in in the last nine months, which did help with seeing maximum growth. I'm too lazy to SD.

Anyway, here's some hope for all you ladies who think your hair will never get long. It WILL!

This was my hair in 2009

What's your goal length? It looks like you could go really long.

Wow. Is it the person in the photos?
It looks so good! And I'm one of those persons who thinks their hair will never grow long so it was inspiring to see your journey.

And that cat is so cute.

That is amazing growth and very inspiring! I love the thickness and color of your hair

Thank you everyone! I don't really have a goal. However, I miss my layers, so my goal is to wait until hip or longer to add some.

Amazing growth, congrats! Your hair looks beautiful!
