Because you know its the only reason you wanna look! ;)
Technically, my anniversary isn't until the 13th, but that's okay! I'm excited this year because it will be THREE years on LHC. I'm not a very active poster on here, but I do spend a lot of time reading and looking. I didn't post for my first or second years here, so I'm excited to share three years progress with you all!
I technically started my hair journey a few years before I found LHC. I had just cut my hair to shoulder.

When I finally found LHC, my hair was hip length, still dyed, and I was using hot tools and washing daily.

LHC gave me the courage to give up the dye...something I NEVER thought I would do, and I gave up hot tools....something I thought I would NEVER EVER EVER do!
BC length, letting my natural texture free for the first time in my life

Tailbone length!

Finally classic length! When I first joined LHC, classic was my goal. It was pretty solidly my goal...until I got there, of course! Classic didn't feel as long as I thought it would.

(sorry for the dirty mirror!shudder:)
I'm at fingertip when wet, so nearly there when dry, but not quite. That last pic has bun waves, and shows my natural hair color until about BSL. The color change to dyed hair isn't noticeable in that pic, but it sure is noticeable in certain lighting IRL. I will eventually get rid of it, as the difference in quality is just so apparent! I just don't want to sacrifice the length. Honestly, I worried that I would get sick of long hair long before I ever reached this point, but I'm not tired of it yet. It does have its inconveniences, and I very rarely can wear it loose anymore, but I'm a long hair lover through and through. :crush:
Well, thanks for looking/reading if you made it this far! I don't get the chance to give much attention to my hair sometimes, so it's fun to be celebrating my "hair-iversary!"
Thank you LHC from the bottom of my heart for teaching me how to really care for my hair!
