1 Year on LHC! [PICS]

[MoonRabbit]

Can't believe it has been a year since I found this wonderful place. Time sure is flying by!

I started my hair journey September 2015. I did a big chop from mbl to armpit/almost bsl to get rid of damage and start a clean journey, my goal was hip length hair. For a year I completely neglected my hair. I kept it up or in a braid at all times, so I don't have any photos from my actual starting place. Then I stumbled upon lhc and the photos, measuring and hair awareness really started to take off.

This was from January 2017. I just started learning how to dutch braid. My length was mbl.

And here is January 2018. I recreated the dutch braid waves to make it more consistent. Currently hip+.

I didn't get a back comparison photo of my braids but I have this one. My braids now reach my hips..and apologies for the face and my house construction!

I am very happy with my growth. My ends need some love or to be let go but I haven't made up my mind yet. As for my new goal, I'm aiming for classic and dreaming for ankle. So I will be around for awhile. I want to give a big thank you to everyone on this forum, you all are so helpful and kind!

Happy 1 year anniversary on progress! Your hair is so pretty, curly, and shiny! I've set my goal to hip length for this year too! I'm hoping to reach hip length this coming Xmas of 2018. But my long-term goal is ankle length. I'm hoping that someday I will reach ankle length in about 4 or 5 years from now.

Thank you. My hair is on the lower end of ii, measuring at 2.5in which is why I adore braid waves, they give me a lot of volume and the illusion of thickness.


Happy one year! I've also been here a year and I am happy we've grown together!

It's wonderful to experience this journey with so many amazing hair loving people. And happy one year to you as well!

I'm certain your hair will look beautiful and even better than mine. It may photograph well but in reality it is as stubborn as they come lol.

Thank you and happy growing. The year is going to go by in a blink and before you know it your hair will be at hip. I really hope we can both claim ankle one day. though I haven't even measured that milestone to see how long it will take me. It seems impossibly far away but now I am curious to find out!


And a huge thank you to everyone for the amazingly kind words!!!
