Time flies and its April again.
The anniversary is on the 25 April but I know that I will be very busy tomorrow so I decided to write this post one day earlier.
I've grown used to this forum and my hair got even longer. Cutting and trimming urges disappeared and now I feel that I've made progress. Passed APL a year ago and now I'm already on BSL on stretched hair.
Over the last year I went through some colour changes, tried to go natural for a while, then decided for henndigo. In January I stopped using henna and indigo since I came to conclusion that they make my hair less curly.
I stick to cassia with amla now and partially embrace my silvers since the dye is not very strong. I also succeeded in removing some of henna redness from my hair - I have very little of it left.
My routine is simpler than ever and I use very little products. I still didn't become a hairtoy junkie and I wear my hair mostly in a ponytail held by a simple claw clip, sometimes I do a braid or a bun.
My goal is still mid-back and I'm pretty close! We will see if I decide to grow longer later on.
Thanks to everyone who showed support in my hair journey and ever complimented my hair. During those 7 years I went from a wide-eyed newbie to somewhat experienced longhair and its been fun. Love this place and all you folks ❤
Long hair forever.

Happy anniversary! Your hair is lovely at all lengths! :flowers:

I don’t think I “knew” you pre-henna; I hadn’t realized how curly your hair was when it was shorter.

I've been using henna for a long time but it didn't affect my curl pattern that much in the first years. Only recently I started to suspect it, but it's also possible that the length is playing a role here. I don't mind, I still want it long;)

I have to say, your avatar (the way your hair falls) is stunning!

Aww, thanks ;)
I didn't change avatar since I joined the community and recently I thought it might be a good idea to get a new one since both length and colour of my hair has changed ;)
