My hair growth journey from March!

[CurlyCurves]

Hey guys, I realised today that it's been about 6 months since I started actively growing my hair out and looking after it again, and after posting the evolution of my hair (thread here (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=100711)), why not post my hair growth journey too?! (I have also been on a weight loss journey - 39.5lbs down - so you'll notice I'm slimmer too)

Sorry for the huge pics, they're from Facebook as my Flickr is full and it's bloody slow anyway :-D

Soo, here we go.

Obviously, with curly hair, it's much harder to measure length. Depending on how my curls are feeling, they may be shorter or longer on any given day. Nonetheless, hopefully, you can see it getting longer, and happily, increased volume!

I am not 100% sure on dates. I know I cut a lot of my hair some time around Febuary. I am not sure how short it was, here is some of the hair I cut off, eek! What was I thinking?! I also tried to cut a fringe *sigh*;

March! My hair was very short, and I wasn't taking very good care of it. I had a very low self esteem and didn't feel like taking care of myself. Of course, as I lost weight, my confidence increased :-)

April! I'd just broken up with my ex. I wasn't a very happy bunny. Was starting to remember how to care for my hair, though;

April again, flat ironed;

May! Getting there. Gaining some length. Losing weight. Feeling good!

May also, this is a twist out fail :/

May again, as you can see, I took more and more pictures as I gained confidence;

August, excuse the extremely bad parting. I was at work and didn't have time to do it in a mirror;

Awwwwesome progress! I love love love the picture and your hair in the Sept 16th picture where your hair is dry and you're wearing the grey shirt (maybe black?). If there is such a thing as reincarnation I want to come back with kinky or coily hair because I would ROCK that.

Thank you! I have to fluff mine a lot for bigness ;) otherwise it's very flat. And any kind of oil makes it stringy *sigh*

Your curls are growing fast and looking beautiful. You have some very cool tattoos and wonderful fashion sense, too!

[kitcatsmeow]

[sumidha]

Sorry this is kind of off topic but I just have to say.. Both that pink dress and your planet tattoos are f'ing awesome.

Edit: Not to imply that your hair is not. I love love love your curls.
