1st Real Post - Hair Growth Journey Pics

[SHW]

Okay, I've finally gotten my pictures together and posted where I can link to them. Oh, and after my 1st photo attempt, I resized them all so they don't knock your eyes out when displayed.

You will notice there's a common horse-kissing theme going on. Guess you will all know that I love my horse.

From July 2004 - same cut I had for about 20 years

July 2006. I started growing in Jan 2006 and had regular haircuts/trims until this. Then I didn't cut/trim for 2 years.

You have had great growth, your hair looks wonderful!

[CrystalStar]

Oh wow, you've made loads of progress since your short pixie like cut :) Awesome to be on a forum where no-one gives up...in rl when any of my friends try grow their hair, I swear they have it cut within 3 months :p :(

[SHW]

I was very determined. I also got fairly heavy over the past 5 years and just lost 40lbs. I had to say that I feel great. :cheese:

[Carolyn]

And I've kissed a fair number of horses myself. :)

I haven't seen everyone's pics yet, but at this moment MemSahib is my idol (well her hair anyway).

Her hair is drop dead gorgeous! And I can see yours is stunning, I bet at longer lengths it'll be hard to tell you two apart.

Congratulations on losing so much weight, it's not easy by any means!

[Xandergrammy]

Congratulations on your progress and on your weight loss. You'll have to share your weight loss "secrets". I'm looking forward to your 25th post. I have a friend request all ready. You have good taste with Memsahib being your idol. I love her hair too! I really wish I could wear bangs.

[HeatherMae]

Your hair is VERY pretty. Its so thick and I love the color. It was fun to look at your journey so far, in pictures. Congratulations on your progress. :)

[SHW]

Thanks everyone for the compliments and the encouragement. There was a point in my life when I thought I just had to have short hair and that I was too old to grow it out. Then I decided what the heck, you only live once.

It's so much fun to see everyone's hair and hear how much we love our hair and how happy it makes us.
