My 2 year anniversary was November 22nd! So much has changed since late 2015.

When I joined, my hair looked like this. This picture was taken December 20th, 2015. Years of bleach, dye, razor cutting, dreadlocks, Sun-in, rough handling, etc. really took its toll.

This is the next day, the morning after my haircut from BSL to a little past CBL.

So much relief! It felt light and soft, shortest my hair has been since I had a shoulder length cut once when I was 7.

Now these two are from last year, November 22nd, 2016. Length shot has bun waves.

I was past BSL at this point!

Now, this year. Length and stacked bun comparison. Sorry the photos aren't exactly like last year's but hopefully you can see. This length shot has rope braid waves.

I am now at waist and my bun is one coil taller. Virgin hair is around CBL-APL! And my hairline is loads thicker.

I'm still learning to love my hair, it's a continuous battle. I lament its perceived thinness, wishing for naturally thick and full hair. I long for natural wave. But at least I have hair!

Congrats! It looks so nice and healthy! This was what I needed to see today as I am at your starting length right now :). What is your goal length?

Thank you Renora25! I would love to make it to tailbone! I think it'll probably be another 2 years.

Well done, Lithostoic! Your hair growing in so nicely! Love the color, and the damage is gradually being replaced by thicker, healthier growth.

All that hard work is paying off for you in a big way!

It looks like you have a good growth rate. I like the picture of your collarbone+ haircut a lot.

I don't think your hair looked very bad to begin with, but now it looks great! Such a nice hemline and it has more life and volume to it now. Good Job!

Aww congrats lithostoic, your hair looks beautiful! Especially in the length shot with the pink ends :) You're doing so well, two years is super impressive so just keep going.

It's really nice to see someone with a similar hair type doing so good.

I also think the original shot shows pretty hair, but you've definitely come a long way. Congratulations!
