So I missed it by about a week, I've been hiding under a rock in real life and online. :doh: But I always like these posts. I have a million billion pictures but I'll try to keep it brief.

I found the LHC after about a year without a trim, I had been growing my hair out and suddenly my lack of hair styling skills was a huge inconvenience. (My repertoire included wearing it loose or in a ponytail. And nothing else. I couldn't do a bun or a French braid or anything!) I came across the LHC and this was my first length photo:

I learned so many styles! One of my favorites:

But also started to believe that I could grow my hair "super long" as I learned about hair care and the science behind long hair. Just about everything I know I owe to the LHC!

Grew until almost tailbone (my original goal). Then I went crazy and cut it in 2013 (sorry about the photo quality):

Started growing it back out roughly a year later, after having it cut a bit shorter to even it out for growing:

And here it is yesterday, after about 5.5 years of growth:

Came down out of a bun without brushing but I thought it turned out okay anyway!

Thank you to everyone who's supported and taught me over the years, I may drift away sometimes but I think I'll always come back to the LHC. :) Happy growing to all.

Thank you! I hope I can at least show people that you can bounce back and grow super long after a big chop. :)

Oh! My hair styling range is not too different from your starting point, that gives me some hope. :) I love the thick shiny braid, it makes me think of a freshly glazed vánočka (sweet pastry).

Thank you for sharing your amazing growth journey too, it's great you got so far, and even twice!

Thank you so much everyone, I can't respond individually because I'm on my phone but your words mean a lot. I couldn't have done it without all of you. :o
