My One Year Update (picture heavy, beware)

[GlassEyes]

I had been looking forward to this (I don't know why, I just have) for a while, but I didn't update on the 23rd anyway. Why? I'm lazy.

Anyway, this is my one-year post on LHC, and the first year I have grown out my hair with all the advice presented here. It is not, however, the first year I've been growing out my hair, but due to dye and bleach damage and some cuts, it might as well have been.

Anyway, I s'pose picture progress is in order. XD

this is my hair, one year ago nearly to the day, and the first photo I put up on LHC, asking for hair-typing advice. at the time, it was about 3c/C/ii/iii, I believe.

This was JUST after I had dyed it black after a long affair with bleach, which you can see a small portion of in my photo album (suffice to say, not all of it is there: I've had a variation of nearly every color unnatural or natural on my head at some point in time, with the exception of dark blue (which I am tempted by, to this day) and dark purple. And yes, I have had white hair before, but only highlights.

After this, I hennaed for the first time and took up CO, around...January/February of 2008.

Which did a lot. Soon after this, I changed my hair-type to 3b/3c/F/M/ii, because it was far more accurate, I think. I'm still not fully sure what texture my hair is, but I couldn't care less as long as it feels fine, and as to the thickness, my last haircut included layers. A LOT of layers.

Anyway...

I hennaed again, and again, and again...

And my hair got longer (though not much noticeably, due to the curl)...

(Friend's birthday party in March. I wasn't quite...apt to the idea of having my photo taken.)

I became a vampire.

After eating a bunch of people and then getting cursed by some stupid gypsy woman with a soul, getting my head chopped off with a mystical axe, being born again sometime during WWI, being turned AGAIN by some Nancy boy, losing my entire personality, and helping give birth to the spawn of major plot death, I started growing my hair out again.

So yay, 1-year update pictures.

My hair is STILL short, sadly, and is hovering right between chin and shoulder, sometimes reaching the latter. When it's pulled straight, it is ALLLLLMOST APL, as well.

I can't do much with it other than a ponytail or small segmented tail, but I'm pleased otherwise. The latter of those produces some pretty cool results too (http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b170/PaulCarroll/Me/DSCF1372.jpg
minues the front, obviously). I'm FINALLY getting comments on how long it's getting, though all positive, at leas the ones said aloud to me. Tomorrow I'm letting my sister even up the back a little and cut off some dye damage. As much as my sister and I...dislike each other at times, she's good with hair, having waist length brown hair, albeit straight. She promised to use a ruler. XD;

All said and done, I'm pretty happy with my hair at the moment, and it's the only thing I'm pretty happy with physically. XD I can't wait until it's at least BSL, but it'll be probably 2 or more years before I reach there curly. Ah well. I can wait.

Thanks for reading my update guys. : )


(By the way, that vampire post was circa this october. It's a segmented pontail, not a haircut. xD)

[ladyluck]

You have awesome curls!! So shiny, perfect! :)

Great update, I'm glad you survived the gypsy curse....they can be a nightmare! ;)

[Oberon88]

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous Glasseyes! You have beautiful curls *is envious*

[Ryanne]

Gorgeous curls! Your hair is very beautiful.

Thank you! ^_^


You have awesome curls!! So shiny, perfect! :)

Great update, I'm glad you survived the gypsy curse....they can be a nightmare! ;)

They really can be, what with all the infected moral crap and the 'I must sacrifce myself for the greater good blah blah blah'. The sham of uppity morality gets tedious after a while. D:


Your hair is just AWESOME!

I hope you let it grow and grow.
I will, don't worry about that. XD And thanks.


Nice & shiny curls. Congrats!
Thank you. :)


I have major curl envy looking at those pictures. You and your hair look great!
Hahah, thank you. They can be a pain at times though.

[Silver & Gold]

Your hair is coming along very nicely. I know your curls tend to take up all your length but they look so nice. It's clear that you know how to take good care of your hair.
Congrats on the progress!

[Johanna64]

Your curls are really beautiful.
They look so shiny and healthy :crush:

[alligatorbaby23]

I see. you were SOOO excited to get guru'd, then procrastinated to post your anniversary progress.. Why does this not surprise me at all?

Great progress. I propose an idea to the lack of hairstyles though. Maybe some multiple buns things, ala Bjork? I used to do that all the time when my hair was shorter, at one time I used crayons for hairsticks, S E X Y!!!

Congrats!

[Elphie]

You have the shinest, springiest, silkiest head of curls I have ever seen. I admire your hair every time I see a photo of it.

[ReddishRocks]

Your hair looks amazing! Well done. :) Growing out curls can be frustrating, huh? Just seems to take forever... but your hair will be so worth it! It just looks so healthy and well defined.

[Indigo Girl]

I don't think I've ever seen a photo of your curls before, GlassEyes. They are AWESOME - shiny, bouncy, and healthy. It's obvious you take very good care of your hair.

Congrats on your one year. :bluesmile

[Calista]

Wow, I´m glad your hair is back. I must have missed the vampire phase. You look weird with short hair.

[Lady Verity]

I've said it before, but you have fabulous hair. :D

[Fillette]

You hair looks just awesome! So shiny and bouncy! congrats on your progress :)

[manderly]

I love your curls! You're another one on my list of "People whose curls I MUST sproing before I die"

[mellie]

Looks great!!!

[FallenAngel]

:bigeyes:

Wow. That is the kind of hair I've always wanted.

[Dolly]

Beautiful hair, GlassEyes! I wish those curls were on my head....I agree with Manderly.....makes me want to reach out and "sproing" them!

[Teazel]

AWESOME hair. Just awesome. Boiiiiinnnnggg!! :wink:

:bowtome:

[jojo]

your hair is so shiny and boingy and you too are very handsome

[30isthenewblack]

I love your hair. Those curls are gorgeous at any length but it will look amazing when it's longer.

[AJoifulNoise]

Your hair is absolutely :thud: worthy. Great progress.

And, I know it's supposed to be all about hair, but I have to say you have beautiful eyes, too. I could hardly look away from them to gawk at your hair!

[renarok]

I will second what every one has said in prior comments, but also add that I really liked your past vampiric life. You must tell us more:)

[SchnauzerMom]

Your hair looks awesome! I love the curls.

-maoXD;; It really shouldn't surprise anyone.

XD Somehow, I think, though I don't think anyone would be surprised if I did, that tht would be awkward.


You have the shinest, springiest, silkiest head of curls I have ever seen. I admire your hair every time I see a photo of it.

o-o Why thank you.


Your hair looks amazing! Well done. :) Growing out curls can be frustrating, huh? Just seems to take forever... but your hair will be so worth it! It just looks so healthy and well defined.

I does take a while, but once its at least shoulder I'll be placted for a tad. XD; And thank you.

I don't think I've ever seen a photo of your curls before, GlassEyes. They are AWESOME - shiny, bouncy, and healthy. It's obvious you take very good care of your hair.

Congrats on your one year. :bluesmile
Haha, thanks.

Wow, I´m glad your hair is back. I must have missed the vampire phase. You look weird with short hair.
Actually, that's a ponytail. Disconcerting, no?

I rather like how I look with them though. ):


I've said it before, but you have fabulous hair. :D
Thanks!

You hair looks just awesome! So shiny and bouncy! congrats on your progress :)
XD Thank you.

I love your curls! You're another one on my list of "People whose curls I MUST sproing before I die"
Hahaha. Thanks. People get surprised when they bounce back up, as if they aren't going to revert back to the way they were. If that weren't going to happen,a lot of curls would be straight on my head. xD;

:bigeyes:

Wow. That is the kind of hair I've always wanted.
o-o Erm, thanks? I'd almost rather have 2c, but I love my hair anyway.

[GlassEyes]

Beautiful hair, GlassEyes! I wish those curls were on my head....I agree with Manderly.....makes me want to reach out and "sproing" them!

^_^ Thanks.


AWESOME hair. Just awesome. Boiiiiinnnnggg!! :wink:

:bowtome:
XDD I like your hair as well. I admire your sig photo a lot.

I love your hair. Those curls are gorgeous at any length but it will look amazing when it's longer.
Your's are nice too though!

your hair is so shiny and boingy and you too are very handsome
Thank you very much. :) I think my hair's far better than my face though.

Your hair is absolutely :thud: worthy. Great progress.

And, I know it's supposed to be all about hair, but I have to say you have beautiful eyes, too. I could hardly look away from them to gawk at your hair!
XD Thanks.

There isn't much to tell. The first time I became the typical brooding type that young teenage girls seem to want, and then I just got my personality sucked out the sexond time and created a massive plot-ender in the form of a demonic little girl.

At least I didn't join a play company or become a rock star.

Your hair looks awesome! I love the curls.
Thank you.

[Chrissy]

Glasseyes - Hair very nice as others have said. Contrary to what you said I think you have a very handsome face. All of it. Now stop being mean to yourself right now. Hey I could be your Mom. I'm of the age. Congrats on one year of growing. Here's to many more.

[Henitsirk]

Wow, you have such beautiful, healthy hair. I had a friend once who had ringlets like that...of course everyone thought she had a perm! That's because they're all jealous :-)

[suziwon]

Your curls are GORGEOUS!

They are the type of curls that I've always wanted. *sigh*

You have quite a bit of growth to show for your year here. I look forward to your future growth updates.

[AnimaSola3o4]

beeeeeeeeyoooooootiful.

Love your curls, love the pics, all of it. :D Glad youre here!! :)

[LutraLutra]

Oh my goodness, your hair is looking fab-u-lous! :thud: And what a year you’ve had – the vampirism, the henna. Remember to eat more garlic in 2009, that'll keep the vamps away for sure. :D

[Phalaenopsis]

I lover your curls, so perfect shiny and frizz free!
I can see that it has grown quite a bit.

[GlassEyes]

I sometimes get asked if my hair is natural. xD I find it funny.
Thank you.

Hahaha, yeah, a big year indeed.

And I will definately be eating more garlic. Do you know what it's like hanging out with a bunch of people who are pretty but lack any sense of personality? Not fun.

I lover your curls, so perfect shiny and frizz free!
I can see that it has grown quite a bit.
Hahaha, they're ANYTHING but frizz-free, just frizz-tamed. But thank you.

[Speckla]

You should say, nah, it's polyester. :cheese: I like synthetics better.:eyebrows:

GlassEyes, you have beautiful spirals! And you look GREAT as one of the Immortals!:)

[skay]

Congratulations, Glasseyes, on your progress. :) It's amazing to see how you went from your "vampire-haircut" to your length today -- amazing progress in my opinion!

And your curls look so much healthier and shinier that you pre-LHC days.

P.S. Loved your vampire tales. :)

[suicides_eve]

Wow, I really enjoyed the pictures. Your hair is incredible. I have extreme curl envy.

[maskedrose]

Your ringlets are sooo wonderful! I'm so jealous of your shine and complete lack of frizz - you lucky devil!

[SafoByMengin]

Probably I love you!

Oops, your hair, I mean;)

[salamander]

Such ringlets! They are totally worth having to wait longer for length, they're absolutely lovely!

[zen_oven]

I love your hair! The curls are gorgeous and it looks so healthy! Good growing!

[GlassEyes]

Haha, thanks to everyone who's replied thus far. I was going to do it individually, but my laziness is winning. XD;

[Tangles]

It's rare to see hair that is so curly yet so frizz-free and shiny. Just imagine how length will add to the "wow" effect!
