Hello... I'm back! Here's a small update...

[Johannah]

Hello everybody! Do you still remember me? :rolleyes: I haven't been on this forum for +/- 6 months now because of health problems... Everything is getting better now, so I thought I'd give an update!

I CUT MY HAIR!!!!

http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=23891&d=1468512491

Just kidding! I'm sorry, I couldn't resist :lol: For those who don't remember this: these are a part of my bangs, I grew them out 1.5 years ago and it's a bit of a pain, to say the least. Here's a comparison (2015-2016, one year of difference):

As for the rest, I didn't do much last couple of months. I've been pretty sick so my hair wasn't my number 1 priority to be honest. I did maintain though, as I planned (at 36"). I cut my hair in a deeper U-hem so my bangs will catch up faster and it won't look so weird :lol: I *hated* my hemline before because it was really thin (grown-out layers...) but maintaining *definitely* helped!! This is how my hair looks now, I'm pretty happy with it!

Here's a one-year comparison (my hair did obviously grow in 2015!)

So... How are you all doing? What did I miss?? :flower:

[Groovy Granny]

LOL you took my breath away thinking you had cut it :o

It looks AMAZING :thud:

So sorry to hear you were sick :(
I hope it was not serious and that you have fully recovered :pray: :flowers:

Hey, welcome back!


....I can't see your pictures, though! What am I doin' wrong?

Thank you!! :blossom:

I've had problems with my breathing. Not sure if you remember, but I took *a lot* of medication for it (asthma). But apparently the doctors made a mistake and there was a *way* bigger problem. I did breathing therapy and everything is back okay, I'm detoxing right now because I'm quitting with taking the meds. One of them was even on the black list in America, I was so shocked when I found out about that. I quit using them 2 weeks ago and now my body is detoxing like crazy... Anyhow, my health is soooo much better now my breathing is back to normal! It's amazing!!

I feel for you because I went through a similar thing in '99 (((Hugs)))
No fun,but you'll get there :thumbsup:
So happy you are feeling better!!

[samanthaa]

Oh, wow, your hair is so pretty--long and thick!

[lapushka]

For a second I thought, NO, not another I-cut-my-hair-off thread. ;) You had me going there. :lol: It looks great. Sometimes it really thrives when you can leave it alone for a while, and it obviously did! Gorgeous! :D

[Pinni]

Looks like benign neglect works for you! :)

[Wildcat Diva]

That's what your hair looks like after health issues?

I am sorry to hear you had health problems. Obviously your long hair didn't get the memo and decidedly to stubbornly grow in beautifully during the past several months.

Welcome back!

[littlestarface]

Looool you had me thinking oh no not another one :laugh: Your hair is so pretty!

[Stormynights]

I missed you. Your hair is beautiful

[school of fish]

Wow, maintaining is SO working for you!!! Looks just amazing :D

I'm growing out a section of bangs too and they're right about the same place as yours, and I'm still maintaining at 36/37" through this year... we're like growth strategy hair twins, haha!!

Keep on keeping on - it's working for you!!!
