It completely slipped my mind! I've been ignoring my hair a lot more this year, to the point where I realised I actually haven't cut it in six months now. I's been silently growing on, but definitely slower than it used to.

So, yeah. I was at BSL (http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k626/growingmyhair/DSCN8789.jpg) four years ago when I joined, and here is last year's anniversary shot vs today's hair, freshly washed and not fully dry:

I really am due for a trim, but leaving it be is so comfortable. And cheap!

Edit because I forgot that I've usually done a braid shot, too:

It looks beautiful! I know what you mean about just leaving it alone being so much easier. Happy LHC anniversary! :flower:

It's really lovely, and the ends are in amazing shape! Doesn't look in need of a trim (and I feel you on the can't be bothered thing), but only you know for sure. Congratulations :D

I think it looks beautiful! Your hemline looks healthy so there's no need to rush a trim.

Beautiful!!

I'd love to see a pic of your hair when you joined compared to now, if you have one :)

Your hair looks great and there looks to be so little taper. I believe you could grow to great lengths if you wish to do so. Happy anniversary! :) :cake:

Your hair is stunning and incredibly inspirational! It is at almost my exact goal length! I too would agree that there is really no need to trim if you don't want to. Your hemline looks quite nice in my opinion. Happy fourth anniversary!

nice growth! I have the adopted "put it up and forget about it" philosophy myself and grew 5 inches last year (after 3 trims).

Thanks, guys!

Nesoi, sure - it's linked in the first post, but here it is. :) This was in July 2010:

I think my taper is probably quite average, really. *g* It's more than it used to be - my braid used to be pretty much the same thickness all the way down, which it really isn't anymore. But it's not too bad, either:

(I shall edit my braid into the OP!)

Very pretty, and is it my imagination or does it actually look thicker than in last year's picture?

Beautiful! And happy anniversary! I'm officially starting my long hair journey. I think I'm about at BSL now. Very encouraging.

Thanks, everyone! :blossom:

I kind of does a little, yeah, but I think that's just due to it not being fully dry yet. :) It always looks a little plumper for a couple of hours there!

woodswanderer, I think so, too! I basically meant to start maintaining a few months ago, but then I forgot to get it trimmed and I guessed it reached tailbone thanks to that.

Oh wow! You are my inspiration!!! I was just having a low momment because its winter here Im hardly getting any growth and then looking back at when my hair was BSL I couldnt help but think, geesh can i really get to classic or at least passed hip with my hair thickness but then looking at your hair, I believe that i can. Your hair looks so beautiful and very much my thickness I think. Congratulations!!!! Amazing stunning mane!
