Hi everyone! I had joined this forum years ago when I first started really trying to grow my hair out. To summarize my intro, I've had short hair all my life. I've wanted long hair for years but have a bad habit of chopping (or bleaching it to the point of total loss and THEN chopping). As such I've been stuck in and around BSL for years.
Unfortunately, stress and major life changes pushed this forum to the back burner for a long time. After a traumatic event, I started experiencing major stress-related hair loss, and decided to chop to above shoulder length, again. Although I'm in a much better place mentally/emotionally now, I still hadn't put much thought into my hair or this forum: Two major moves (one international), working full time, adopting and raising two puppies, and going back to school kept me pretty occupied.
Until today as I was blow drying my hair and realized that being so busy must've helped my hair because I am officially below BSL for the first time EVER in my life! :joy:I was so excited and I realized that I only knew one place to properly celebrate this hair victory: Long Hair Community!
So, here I am, and without further ado, here's my hair:

It's a little poofy from the blowdryer and unfortunately still not back to its original thickness following the period of hair loss, but I'm pretty happy with how it looks and being (I think) a few inches from waist! I would love tips on getting to waist, regrowing after hair loss, and how y'all take such lovely pictures of your own hair!
