(I hope it's okay for me to reintroduce myself here on the Mane Forum.)
It's been over a year since my last post on here. Lots has happened. I graduated, I'm moved in with my FH in a new city, I'm getting married in 200 days, and... oh yeah, I cut alllll my hair off.

After having gotten maybe an inch past tailbone, in October I got it cut to my collarbone, donated 19 inches to Pantene (mostly so I wouldn't feel like all that growth was a waste), and called it a day. And I haven't regretted it. I haven't even missed it -- until 30 minutes ago. I miss being able to braid! I can still do things with it, even though it's short, thanks to skills given to me by the LHC. I can still do a five-strand Dutch braid, even at this length. So thanks, LHC! But I think I'm ready to grow again. :)
Two days ago I got several inches trimmed off to even everything out. (The original short haircut was longer in the front, and 5 inches of growth later it didn't look so great. It was a bit past APL, but I didn't take a length picture.) And I thought, this would be a great haircut to grow out. I'm thinking waist? And then we'll see. I'm sure it'll be way healthier, and probably thicker, than it was when I was at tailbone last, since I've got LHC habits from the get-go now, instead of acquiring them at waist length, and my stress shed is growing out.
TL;DR: I love you LHC, please take me back!
