Is it growing? Yes, I think it is!

[manderly]

I've hit the point in my growing where you can't really "see" any gain in length, and I find myself wondering if it's growing or not. Especially when I see Squiggy's extraordinary growth rate (we joined around the same time) I feel left in the dust.

So today I took a photo as a baseline control for my MIT hair goo experiment (ordered it last night) and I thought it did look longer :D

So here is a mini update thread of my growth since joining LHC.

This was not my first hair photo, but my first hairtyping photo:

Then we have this one, I have no idea when it was taken, couldn't find the date:

Here is July 08:

And again in August 08 for my 1 year anniversary. This is actually a wet set, not normal curls for me:

And here I am today:

P.S. The curling on the ends is all from my twisting method in my Soft Waves tutorial in my siggy if anyone is interested.

Oh, gosh, Manderly, I love those curls. I will check out your tutorial. Nice growth!!

[OhioLisa]

I am also checking out that tutorial! Your hair is looking so soft and silky. Love it!!

[Addy]

Very nice manderly! Your hair has grown!

[HeatherMae]

Your hair has grown A LOT! I see it very clearly. :)

Don't feel bad about Squiggy's AMAZING growth rate. I think she makes many of us feel left in the dust. :) *jealous too, but maybe that besides the point- hehe!*

I think that you have made great progress! Congratulations!!!!

[Speckla]

yes, that's a lot of growth. so pretty.

[~GypsyCurls~]

Ooh I love your curls! Nice growth and pretty hair :)

[girlcat36]

It's getting so long, and looking great!

[Juneii]

I want your curls! your hair is so pretty

[Firefly]

You are definitely gaining noticeable length, Manderly-- I'd been on a little hiatus from the board and the other day I saw your new avatar and immediately thought, "Wow, her hair's gotten long!" It looks beautiful, too. :)

[rags]

Oh, it's certainly growing, and it's gorgeous too!

[Rohele]

You're definitely gaining length, and I love the little curls on the last pic.

Your soft waves tutorial was a godsend for me - it was one of the articles that helped me figure out how to gain control over my wavy hair without using a blowdryer on it. Many thank-yous. :)

[Katze]

Absolutely definitely! :D

Your hair is so pretty and I love what you do with the soft waves. Mine won't stay in those perfect ringlets, but your technique does help me get more spirals.

Lovely!

From the first foto to the now foto, your hair looks about 20 centimeters longer. Pretty good growth rate for 18 months. You've probably trimmed, haven't you? Your hem looks thick and healthy.

I agree completley with Hanne. Looks like really nice growth! How often do you trim?

I have natural curls but I have to check out your tutorial any way to see what it is you do. Looks very pretty with those curled ends. :)

[paper]

Wow, Manderly, Your hair really has grown, alot. Love the color and the curls, just beautiful!

[Dolly]

I definitely see the growth! Congratulations!!

[lora410]

Oh yeah you definitely have grown :cheese:

[Rhea]

Yes ! It´s clearly longer and not little ! Congratulation !

[Johanna64]

Congratulations!!
Your hair has grown a lot and I love the curls :)

[mellie]

Wow, yes, definitely some beautiful, thick growth there!! Yay!!

[Ryanne]

That colour is beautiful! Great growth.

[JamieLeigh]

Wow, your hair is certainly growing quickly! And I adore those curls!!! Very gorgeous photos, thanks so much for sharing! :D

And congrats on gaining length! ;)

[Blueneko]

Oh my gosh, your progress is awesome and your hair is so pretty!!!!

[DavidN]

Oh my goodness, Manderly! Your hair looks so thick, shiny, and healthy in these photos, look at those curls, and the colour is beautiful! Thank you for sharing, and yes, it is definitely growing!:cheer:

[spidermom]

Of course it's growing! Had you any doubt?

[rhubarbarin]

Of course it's growing, silly! It looks great!

In the most recent pic I can really see what it's going to look like *long*.. I love the waves and curls.

[LutraLutra]

Your hair's grown loads, and it's so pretty. I love it. :cheer:

[manderly]

LOL, thank you everyone. Spidermom, I was concerned from July to now. I just hit that length where you cant really "see" any landmarks being passed to know it's growing :D

And hanne jansen, yes I've trimmed probably 3-4 times since coming here, using Feye's method. I probably took off between 1/4 to 1/2 inch each time :D


Thank you for all the sweet compliments everyone :flowers:

[maskedrose]

It looks great Manderly! It looks super healthy and you've got some lovely curls going in the last pic - I have to trot off and check out your tutorial now :D

Oh, and just so you don't feel alone, I joined about the same time as you too, and I'm going through the same frustration with my length. I definitely have to go look at old pictures every once and a while to assure myself that I was indeed above APL in 2007, and now I am indeed a few inches bast BSL in 2009. I certainly can't check my progress with Squiggy's - I'd have given up long ago ;)

[WritingPrincess]

Your hair has definitely grown, and the curls look wonderful. I'll have to try that method.

[Oskimosa]

Yes, and it looks lovely! Those soft curls really look great.
