My 1 year LHC anniversary! [Pics]

[Shadow Walker]

I can't believe it's been 1 year already! I'm real glad that I found this site last year, the community here is one of the best I've ever been apart of. I just wanted to take a quick moment to thank all the people I've gotten to know here for their kindness and support!

When I joined last year my hair was 21" long, and just a little ways past the top of my shoulders. I'm sure a lot of you have seen this picture, but for those that haven't, this was taken the day I joined LHC.

And here's my hair today, at 28 and 1/4"!!! Over 7 inches of growth in a year!

I'm hoping to be at waist length by the end of the year, or close to it. :D

[pariate]

Well done you! That's fantastic growth. I love seeing reports on everyone's progress - it motivates me and renews my hope for waist-length.

Congratulations :flower:

[Indigo Girl]

Oop - I left a comment on your album before I saw this, but again, your progress is fantastic. :bluesmile

Your hair looks incredibly full and healthy - congratulations on your milestone! :flower:

[FrannyG]

I can't believe it's been a year either, but looking at the photos, it's more than obvious. Congratulations on a fabulous year of growth! :hollie: I'm happy that you are a part of LHC.

[galen]

Congratulations! :cool:

[dorothea-brooke]

Holy cow! That is some of the thickest, healthiest-looking hair I've seen.

I'm tempted to make that jokey comment about how "it's not fair when guys get long eyelashes and nice thick hair" --
but, of course, I think men deserve wonderful hair too! :flower:

[I stand by the eyelashes thing, however.... :twisted:]

Congrats!

You have had some fantastic growth & I have always admired your beautiful hair, very healthy & it suits you well!!:)

[Shadow Walker]

Thanks all, I never knew so many would care!

No teesha, I've been holding off on trims. I'm going to try to wait until I pass waist length first.

[dorothea-brooke]

I've been holding off on trims. I'm going to try to wait until I pass waist length first.

Gack! Now I'm seriously jealous! You achieved that without trims? :pins:

:D

But seriously, again -- fabulous hair!

BTW: are you sure you're only a ii/iii thickness? It looks a lot thicker than that to me!

dorothea

[RavennaNight]

Whoa! Lucky! A hemline that straight without trimming! :shocked:

[skay]

You've got some great hair Shadow Walker. Terrific hemline. I'm also impressed you didn't get any trims.

Congrats on completing your first year here so successfully. :)

[Shadow Walker]

Yep, no trims! :)

My hair is still ii/iii, which is what it originally was when I first joined. It does look a little thicker than ii/iii now, but it has maintained a consistant thickness throughout the past year (thank god too, considering I've been shedding more than usual).

[prosperina]

Truly amazing hair. I'm envious. :) At one point we were at the same milestone, and you just sped by me. Well done. :D

[psvzum]

WOW!!!!! What a difference! Your hair is just GORGEOUS!!! : )

[jojo]

wow shadow, your hair is super dupper! and you grew so much in 52 weeks wow!

[Hurray4Henna]

Thanks all, I never knew so many would care!



Of course we care ;)

Your hair grows so fast, wowzer--craziness. It looks so thick and healthy, not to mention the awesome blunt hemline :D

Congratulations! Your hair was, and is FANTASTIC!

[JessTheMess]

Wow that is some nice hair!! Congratulations!

[Merkaba]

Your hair is beautiful and so are you! Men with long hair are super sexy :)

[EvaSimone]

Thanks for posting these! Your hair is so nice it's going to look fabulous at waist length! :)

[Islandgrrl]

Drool....oh, wow, you have some kind of luscious hair!!! That's great growth in a year and it looks so delicious! (Can you tell I"m hungry? I'm talking in food terms!) I can't wait to see what it looks like at waist!!!

[Islandgrrl]

Your hair is beautiful and so are you! Men with long hair are super sexy :)

I have to second that. Totally.

[JasmineDaisy]

Congratulations! Wow you got some awesome growth over the year! What is your secret?

[NurseMama]

Great growth! Your hair looks so thick and healthy!

[LadyLongLocks]

Nice progress! Looks healthy and thick :)

[casey3035]

I love your progress. What is your regimen?

[Shadow Walker]

Your hair is beautiful and so are you! Men with long hair are super sexy :)


I have to second that. Totally.


Hehe....thanks! :flowers:


JasmineDaisy and casey3035; I really don't have a secret or a regimen, in fact I do practically nothing to my hair besides wash it every night before bed and try to be gentle on it. I used to oil every once in awhile, but I've become lazy and haven't done it for a few months.

[darkwaves]

Awesome growth -- and great thick hemline, too.

[danacc]

You have such wonderful thickness, and your hemline is amazing. It has a just-trimmed tidiness to it in spite of not being touched in a year.

Congratulations on your anniversary!

[krazykirsty07]

whooooa your hair grows superfast!! it looks fantastic!! what is your secret??

[CarpeDM]

Your hair is so thick and it grows so fast!

[CurlyCap]

It's so healthy! WOW. :thud:

[Amber_Maiden]

wow! it looks really healthy! :) Happy growing!
