so my 1 yr mark came and went.... in march. oops. just goes to show that life has been a lil crazy lately. new job, hb had a finger amputated (table saw incident), ds is growing up too fast, and i think i finally rid the cat of fleas.

and now, the photographic evidence of a year at LHC...

i think this was my first official length shot... a bit after joining...

this evening (after being in a crown braid all day)... it feels longer, not sure it looks it though.

All in all, I'm happy with it. I still have no time to get a proper trim, nor have I mustered up the courage to do it myself. someday, I promise. Till then... braids and buns will win.

Thanks! it does actually feel quite a bit thicker - for THAT I'm GRATEFUL! and to think, when I was younger I had my stylist "thin" it.... good grief what was I thinking?!?!

Thanks, pretty sure I can attribute the shine to henna & cassia.

Thanks all!

AnnaB, thx. He's been a woodworker for 20 yrs without incident... Till now. Oh well, I'm very thankful it was just part of a finger, and not the whole hand. And he's healing up remarkably well, almost back to work!

Back to hair... I have to say, I'm now a huge fan of ACV rinses! Wow. Amazing! So many wonderful tips I've learned here!
