I'm almost to my goal. (top of my pants). Then I plan on maintaining at that point until my hemline gets thicker.

Happy Anniversary! You're hare is beautiful. I am :inlove: with the color.

Started out lovely, but it just gets better and better throughout the year's worth of pictures.

I think you have pretty much perfect bangs, and they really suit your face and hair texture.

[DecafJane]

[Koskaan]

That is beautiful! And your henna colour is amazing. :bowtome:

And, I just have to ask about the Medusa hairdo. One of the (rope?) braids seems to be defying gravity (on upper right corner of the photo). Did you use some kind of wire in the do? If so, what kind?

[EvaSimone]

Your hair is gorgeous! I love the henna so much more than the bleach blonde.

How did you do the medusa hair? it looks really cool.

Yes there's wire in the snakes. (also a lot of that hair is fake!) I forgot to mention. So I took a fake pony tail and braided it with wire inside. I used 10 gauge craft wire. My real hair was also braided, but I didn't risk damage from wire on my real hair.

Then all I had to do was clip the pony tails of snakes on to my head. and blend them a little with my real hair.

I liked the fake hair because I could use glue to keep the snake heads on.

:D Thanks for all the lovely complements. I look forward to being here another year at least!
