Hey guys, just wanted to make a post for my full of year of progress in not dying my hair :)
I used to color my hair constantly (multiple times in a month) for about the last 6 or 7 years. I was always dying it dark and then bleaching it and dying it a lighter color and then back to dark and so on and so forth. I haven't been able to grow it long since before I started coloring but I just couldn't cut the habit! Anyways, I'm a little proud of myself for having completely left it alone for an entire year (not even any heat which I had also been using frequently). My hair now feels healthier than it has in years.

I'm going to try to share pictures, have never posted a picture on the boards before so forgive me if I don't get it right! My hair is naturally blonde so it may be hard to see where the colors change... The color I last dyed it was red but it faded to a bleached blonde color over time.

I clipped the top part of my hair up because it's lighter than it is underneath and even harder to tell the difference.
Also, poor cell phone quality, sorry!

Your natural color is quite beautiful. Growing out color takes a lot of patience. I bet you feel really good about your efforts. I cannot imagine how nice it must feel. :)
