I posted this in the henna sub but I'm so happy I wanted to share here too.

I managed to get a semi permanent dye over my henna mistake and get my hair pretty close to my natural shade (a tad warmer but much better). The henna shade made me look deathly ill.

Here are some before and afters:

I'm looking forward to growing my virgin hair out from here on out and not having to constantly worry about an extremely noticeable demarcation line. :)

[Stray_mind]

Zesty, I love your and your husbands pictures! You guys look so happy! And you both have gorgeous hair!:)
I managed to create a pretty decent updo today, a simple tucked French braid.

Pretty! Love the color difference. :)

[paulownia]

Pretty! Love the color difference. :)
The darker strands it's my natural colour and the red stuff it's of course henna :) I never get even colour in all of my hair and it washes out in funny ways. But I like it :)

[jane_marie]

Wow, that came out great...good for you :thumbsup:

Thanks! I'm so happy to be so much closer to my natural shade. I solemnly swear I will never do henna again. It's taken me a long time but I've finally decided my natural shade is my best shade. :)

[lapushka]

I love that hat, Tatsu! Where'd you get it? :D

[CuteCrow]

Stray_mind I love your hair texture. Keep on with the progress! Your hair seems pretty wavy I think you may be more than a 2a/2b, maybe a 2c? I also love the reverse omvre.

I was happy how my curls turned out today so I thought of posting here.

Wow, such lovely curls!

My hair is styled with aloe vera gel in this pic, so i am not sure about my texture. My hair strands are quite non uniform. The hair at the back is much straighter than at the sides. I am playing it safe and choosing 2a/2b type for now. :)

[CuteCrow]

Thank you! :)
Do you sleep on your back? It's common for the curls to flatten depending on your sleep position. But it's true that styling methods can make typing your hair harder. Well, I think it's safe to call it 2a/2b

[TatsuOni]

TatsuOni Those photos are seriously incredible :thud: I love it! Seconding that it has an Alice in Wonderland vibe. You could host the worlds most badass magical tea party :D

Nice job MoonRabbit!


MoonRabbit that looks great! I love that aesthetic.


Great job MoonRabbit :)


Good job MoonRabbit! My fiance has an undercut as well and loves it. He has thick hair and it brushes out way better now, especially since the curliest/coarsest section is the one that's shaved off :) I love undercuts but could never pull it off with my hair type.

Same. I swear, I shaved off so much hair and he still has thicker hair than me. Lucky jerk.


That looks great :thumbsup:
How long is his hair; does he ever wear it down? :popcorn:

It's a bit past apl now. He never wears it down. I would love to see it down more often but we know how that is.


Thanks everyone!

[CuteCrow]

CuteCrow, and your hair, too, looks very healthy and shiny. What is your length goal if I may ask?
Thank you! My goal length is classic but seeing how slow my hair grows probably my terminal is much shorter than that. I'll be happy if i can reach waist at least :)

Finally and steadily losing this extra weight! So I stopped in to one of my favorite stores, tried on pants and shirts, and felt something odd.

I saw this in the mirror!

Wow, weren't you growing from chin to shoulder a year ago? Or maybe you showed some old photos there. But anyway, your hair is growing very quickly! Excellent progress, cjk!

Nope, that picture was yesterday.

And yes, about a year ago. Part of it is probably an inconsistency in head/neck position too, but you're right. My hair has grown...a LOT. And since curly-girl taught me how to care for it, breakage is not a major factor.

I didn't say that was the old picture.
I only compared your hair now to your hair when you were between cl/sl. ( I was also on that thread but I came later).

[Sarahlabyrinth]

Wow, cjk, you look to be at BSL, or pretty close to it!

[Begemot]

This was the first and only time my hair has been done by a hairstylist. I liked it, very sturdy style and some product made my hair super shiny :) I was so impressed how she managed to make my hair look so big! I believe my hair was around BSL at the time.

Valkyrie knotted ponytail at a Tolkien convention last May :) You can't really see the style that much :lol:, but I kinda like how the hair looks in the first pic xD

So pretty Ylva

The last few days I've messed around with some half backs. Haven't worn them in public yet because honestly I'm having some minor dandruff issues which make me not want to show too much parted scalp.

Anyway... for the pics!

This is inspired by elven and viking hair. It's held entirely held by friciton, with no ties or pins anywhere. I'm not sure if it'd last a whole day, I'd need to experiment.

https://i.imgur.com/pJbicb2l.jpg



I call this a rose half back. Feel free to enlighten me as to its official name.

https://i.imgur.com/e9R8WzHl.jpg

[lithostoic]

I'm so frustrated that my hair won't stop tapering after BSL. It gets drastically thinner the longer it grows no matter what I do. I'm about to just cut back to BSL+ and forget having longer hair.

This time I only used a bit of Lush R&B, scrunched and nothing more. I'm going to try mousse next time.

It's sort of a figure 8 knot. A regular knot but twisted once extra. I think that helps it stay better. And yep it was a single knot with the 4 smaller rope braids. It was actually simple to do, minus the time to make the braids .

In a full ponytail today. The edges are finally long enough to be incorporated with a reasonable expectation of success.

There isn't too much of my hair in these photos because it's covered by a silk scarf, but I've been experimenting with wrapping buns in silk scarves I have lying around since last night...
and I was quite pleased with how colourful and fun this turned out!

I'm hoping that overtime I can get the scarf to cover more of the back of the head--that way it doesn't look like a silly little worm!

[enting]

Very colorful and fun, FaerieToast! I really like that large flower in front. There's a whole world of wrapping out there if you are interested in getting into it.

cjk, a full ponytail! Definitely a milestone.

[Nox_Inber]

I found a way to get my DSLR shutter cooperating and finally took some real hair photos! I had no idea the back gained that much length :bigeyes: The front layers are still barely APL buuuuut I think it's time to call it and move myself to the BSL thread lol! Thank you to the today's windy weather for making fun hair photos :D

I am interested in getting into scarf wrapping! I have a decently large scarf collection (about half of them are smooth enough for hair?) but it's too hot to wear the outfits they normally go with half of the year. I can't seem to find a master thread about wrapping... lots of little ones asking for help on how to get scarves to stay while sleeping, though.

Nox_Inber, your hair looks lovely! I agree the symmetry is super impressive.

Did a pair of braids, one for each side, and left the center section loose. I then gathered the center into a simple ponytail to contain it. Trying to avoid white-boy cornrows.

And ended up with a (hopefully) sophisticated take on a mohawk!

Was actually inspired by Miss Bailee.

Maybe we should start a master thread? I agree, we have a ton of smaller threads that I'm not sure how I would even ask a mod to combine. Or, if you can figure out which to combine and which should be the main thread, you can flag them for a mod to combine into a master thread. It was too much for me to figure out. I'd join it, though! I have a ton of scarves to go with pretty much all my clothes, and most of them are originally intended for wrapping hair.

I took pics of my hubby's hair yesterday. He's on a long hair journey. He's been growing his hair out for a year now from a buzz cut. He's had waist long hair in the past. That was 10 years ago. I've noticed his hair is MUCH curlier this time around! It was just wavy in the past. He has some lovely little ringlets now :)

lapushka the front length has just gotten to APL but I had no idea the back was nearly top of my bra strap lol :doh: Apparently it grows more when I don't look at it :laugh:

This is inspired by elven and viking hair. It's held entirely held by friciton, with no ties or pins anywhere. I'm not sure if it'd last a whole day, I'd need to experiment.

I call this a rose half back. Feel free to enlighten me as to its official name.



So I made second attempt at straw curls (glutton for punishment, I know) they didn't turn out very well but at least my hair was really big the rest of the week and buns were super easy!


Wow, plenty of gorgeous hair here!
I'm new so I guess the best way to get to know each other here is with some hair pics
So these were my hair in 2014, one of my last pics as henna-head:
And here are my hair now, this is from some weeks ago after my last indigo:



My hair has been a lot wavier and more defined while I’m in Spain. Even a 2C in some parts.


Picture spam again
Warrior braid.

Yesterday I found the "hairstyle of the month" part of the forum for the first time I think! I don't know how I missed it. Buns are not my favorite thing on myself, so I'm loving all the different styles over there and people's pictures. Here is my try at Amish braids. It's secure, comfortable, and fancy, the trifecta! I think next time I'd braid closer to the sides of my head so the hairstyle is more spread out not gathered in the back.

SwordWomanRiona awesome updo and awesome hair! (also: awesome dress!!)

Today I feel meh about my hair. The sign of the great shed that I'm gong through since end July start to show up.
I lost so many hair this morning while washing the 1st step of my hendigo. I'm going to go on with the 2nd step but I'm very demotivated and I think I will trim 5-10 cm.

I was putting my hair up in a knot bun when my length fell down and created this pretty realistic looking style. Kinda gave me a 70's vibe. And I will admit it makes me miss having short hair!

Ok, I just learned how much lighting can make a difference. Yesterday I did a water-only wash as part of a scalp experiment. My lengths did not feel great since they still felt really dirty and stringy. My hair felt meh, and it didn't look its best, though my hair is so straight that it doesn't change its look very much TBH.

Well, I did some climbing training at home and recorded videos of the training. When I was watching the videos I realized my hair looked very... fabulous? *Almost* like those shiny sleek hair commercials or YT videos! Guess the lighting in the training area is very artificial in a good way. :) Here's a still from one of the videos:

And the videos make it look more appealing, with the rippling and shining as my hair moved. If my ganky hair could have that effect, no wonder they can get hair to look SO good in commercials and professional photos!

[Begemot]

MoonRabbit I can definitely see the 70's vibes there too :) You're really beautiful btw!

gin your hair is so shiny and gorgeous, hair commercial material :thumbsup:

I love the way that rose Flexi looks in your hair Milady! It's so delicate with your adorable braid. (And you have my dream hair :crush: Any texture at all would be wonderful instead of this 1a madness)

[Zesty]

Milady it's lovely to see your progress! Your hair is beautiful. Is FTL still your goal? I'm sure you'll be there in no time.

Thank you :) I always wanted to have 1a hair, seems to be easy to deal with and always looks sleek and elegant, but since I can't change my texture I'm ok with it. I really like your color and texture anyway :o



Milady it's lovely to see your progress! Your hair is beautiful. Is FTL still your goal? I'm sure you'll be there in no time.

Thank you Zesty :love: I will probably grow to FTL, but I'll maintain at Classic for some time first, to get rid of the remaining dye at least. I'm quite happy now that most of my layers have disappeared, but still need some time to have a totally straight hemline. I guess I'll be Classic by late 2020, so I will be maintaining since then.



Really beautiful!

Thank you Tatsu :o I'm loving all your hairstyles BTW!


[QUOTE=Ylva;3722539]Beautiful as always, Milady! Are you going for classic by late 2020?

That's a really cool night shot Ylva and awesome braids cjk!

its been a minute since I have shared a photo of my hair so here goes one from this morning. For past some months was just patiently waiting to grow back my most recent trim (~2") and not obsessing and getting too frustrated over losing what seemed like critical length lol. Not quite there yet but I finally feel back in similar unstretched length territory as I did prior to the trim.

Also I have been wearing my hair down more as a means to just enjoy the current length. Most LHC veterans keep advising to enjoy each stage. Well that was harder said than done but I finally gave in when I was faced with a set back.

[Jas]

I love stalking this thread for pics! So many gorgeous heads of hair..

CJK amazing braiding skills! and I love your hair colour - I feel like every time I see your hair it's visibly longer.
Salzdrache - Ah I love your hair, I think when my natural colour grows out it might end up quite similar.
Berrysara - I know it must be difficult waiting (especially curly) but the impact of curly hair is so much..more. It's just so gorgeous, imagine those curls at longer lengths! Will definitely be worth the wait.
Sarahlabyrinth - Ooh are you microtrimming now? Ends are looking blunt! I know you usually have braid waves in, I'd love to see your natural texture? As always, simply gorgeous - dream hair

[Milady_DeWinter]

Simple french braid. I'm rocking braids lately due to headaches caused by stress (and heavy buns don't help)

[BerrySara]

:thud: oh wows it's so pretty. Those curls are so perfect. I love the new color too :crush:

Thank you blackgothicdoll :o yay, I have been enjoying the copper/auburn tones a lot. Not sure if I will maintain with the pre-lightning but the henna part I sure will. The fact that it covered my greys so easily amazed me and I am really enjoying the other benefits from henna/cassia.



Berrysara - I know it must be difficult waiting (especially curly) but the impact of curly hair is so much..more. It's just so gorgeous, imagine those curls at longer lengths! Will definitely be worth the wait.


Thank you Jas, that was really kind :flower: I do want to see how its going to look at longer length since I never had curly hair longer than my current length.

[Sarahlabyrinth]

Sarah, how does your hubby keep his hands off of your hair - that's some WILLPOWER right there. I love your hair and saw what Jas photoshopped the length to - I think you should go for it - you are almoooooost there anyway :o

Yes, I'm nearly there - and going for it! My hubby isn't interested in hair, and he never touches mine.

Here is my natural hair texture - the lower half of my hair no longer has waviness, presumably due to dye damage as I don't use heat on my hair. So now you see why I prefer to have braid waves! The wavy hair is my virgin 2b hair and texture and it is also much thicker than my dyed hair below it. I would so love for all my hair to regain its waviness!

Wow, Sarah! The texture and shine difference between the died and virgin parts is crazy! Beautiful either way, though!

I'm so sorry, I don't know how I missed your comment! Sleek would be nice, but it seems as though all of my baby hairs have an untamable spirit so I'm always sporting a not-so-cute halo effect :wannabe: It's taken me forever, but I think I'm finally starting to accept that my bun will never be as big as I want it to be and that I can't change my hair texture. Hopefully one day I can reach full acceptance like you. And thank you so much, you're too kind! You're compliment put a silver lining in my cloud of a rough morning :blossom:

Mmm, I still think that medium/thin heads of hair are way more elegant, and big buns carry other problems: I can't achieve hairstyles that others are able to do with shorter lenghts, and the weight can be too much if I'm already with a headache :( Also, I like much more certain hairstyles with thin hair, like spacebuns for example (I look like Minnie Mouse) And don't talk to me about halos lol, mine is always there doesn't matter what I do, so I accept it :rollin: I hope you'll day get better! :flower:




Milady, I hope your stress goes away - in the meantime we get to see such a lovely braid!

Sarahlabyrinth your hair is a dream :o i suffer the same thing from dyes, being the non dyed part way curlier. It looks ok, but I miss the bouncing locks I had before. Are you planning to hit the floor?

About the stress issues: I'm having the first of 3 exams in 10 days, if I pass they 3 I'll achieve a good job forever for the Government. If I pass the 1st, I can go to the next one and so on. The second one will be before Christmas, and the 3rd one by spring... It is crazy, esp because I'm also working a full time job so I pass minimum 12h/day working or studing, plus 2h/day moving in the underground and so; I've been like this so many months and the pressure is heavy. I still scratch some time to rest, but it's always a minimum. I miss participating more but lately I'm better just reading most days, if I can. It all will pass, now I just want time to fly to have it behind, passing the tests or not! :p

[desisparkles]

Sarah, I didn't really notice the different textures that much until you mentioned it.

Then I looked at my own hair and sure enough - same goes for me. I only colored my hair darker and with a volume 10 developer and it still managed to completely wreck my hair. I never noticed because I never had virgin growth to compare it to of my own until a couple years ago.

I feel duped by my own self.

Haha, +1 when I stopped dying and discovered an entire new head of hair started growing in. Boy was I confused :shrug: But it sure has encouraged me to stay away from chemical dyes for good.

At the moment I'm thinking of reaching ankle and maintaining there. For a while, anyway. Maybe at some point I will change my mind and head to floor length. After all, my original goal here was waist, so I do have a habit of wanting my hair longer... :p

And it's much easier than what I've done in the past or was doing. Like washing/styling upside down then flipping... plopping...diffusing. I'm getting more volume and individual curls with this than with any of the classic curly girl advice. Just thought I'd share. :)

Thanks for the encouragement Milady! I'll have to try out a few more styles instead of just doing a Celtic knot every day and see if that variation helps. My day got a teeny bit better; I didn't do very well on a recent exam, but I did very well in another class so I guess it evened out? I'm sorry to hear about your stress levels though; my schedule certainly isn't that rough, but I can kind of relate with the exams. Fingers crossed you pass with flying colors!

Beautiful hair everyone! I love lurking here when I'm feeling like cutting my hair because it always reminds me why I'm growing mine.

I was watching something a few weeks ago and this video was in my recommended, so I watched it (and bought the denman brush) and it seriously changed my whole routine. And it's much easier than what I've done in the past or was doing. Like washing/styling upside down then flipping... plopping...diffusing. I'm getting more volume and individual curls with this than with any of the classic curly girl advice. Just thought I'd share. :)

Also there was an owl hooting in the woods while I took these pictures. :)

Beautiful wo! This is what my hair looked like at waist length and now scraggly at butt length. Thank you for including the video link! It was very funny, and I subbed right away. Gonna give this a try! Woot!:happydance:

Thank you!! First i flipped my hair upside down and did a french braid up the back of my head. When i got to the top of my head i made a ponytail, and then i braided the ponytail too. I wrapped the braided ponytail into a bun and secured it with a scrunchie.

Well - I'm sure I could never do that! But that looks model-worthy on you!
