I did the big chop back in April of 2012 after my hair was left devastated by bleach. I went from APL wavy (probably BSL stretched but I really don't know!) To a short, choppy, ugly pixie. In February of this year (2014), I reached APL, and a few weeks ago I chopped off 4'', leaving my hair all virgin and all one length besides my bangs (which I'm still growing out impatiently).
Without further ado, a brief picture timeline of my hair journey thus far:
Bleached hair before the pixie (March 2012)

[the dark brown was because of black dye i'd been growing out from a previous short haircut.]

Bob! A little past chin length, + self-cut blunt bangs. (1 year of growth, April 2013)

I hope I didn't overdo it with the pics!! I apologize to anyone with a super slow internet connection or old computer. ^^;
The funny thing is, after that 4'' chop, my will to keep growing has diminished a lot. I actually feel like going shorter!
Although with the haircut I have in mind, I have to wait a few months before my bangs would be long enough to do exactly what I want, so I've got plenty time to think it out. (It'd be kindof like a pixie, but with longer layers, and with long bangs and sideburns that are no shorter than chin length. Think "anime boy" hair.) *shrugs* I'll cross that bridge when I come to it!
Edit: Realised the reason it thought I had too many pictures was because of emoticons. Re-added some pix I deleted because of the pic limit.
