My hair is baby fine. That fact, combined with a decade of awkward short-layered cuts, bleaching, and excessive washing, brought forth such a disappointing picture that when I signed up here I didn't even bother to break out the measuring tape and listed my thickness level as "thin" (for lack of a "depressing" option, because many of you ladies who are listed as thin have wonderful hair that looks nothing like mine did, and it really didn't seem fair to share a category).

Well, it's been almost six months, I've grown my hair a fair bit, the layers are no longer so awkward, the bleaching has stopped (still working on the washing frequency), I've started working out and eating more/better (I had appetite issues before) and, lo and behold, today the base of my ponytail measured in at a fairly impressive (for me, lol) 4 inches!

I am really happy. :)

4 inches? That makes your hair thick by LHC standards.

Right there on the cusp, yes! :)

I'm trying to stretch from daily to at least every other day, but the summer heat and my running schedule are making it hard.
