Yay - my hair is longer! :)

[2luvmycurls]

When I joined this site (July of last year), my hair was 24 inches. I was somewhat active on the forum and all of that until around Nov/Dec, and the last time I measured (not sure exactly when), my hair was 26.5. The end of Nov. was the last time I used henna in my hair (still deciding if I'll do it again) and ever since then, I've been pretty much MIA on here...just once in a while seeing if I have any comments or PMs or anything.

Well, I came back today and decided to measure. I'm now at 30.5"!!!!:cheese: I'm pretty happy because my goal was anywhere from 30-35...although it's really hip, which I'm not sure if I'll be at hip with just 4.5 inches...I think it may be more like 6 or 7, but I'm happy nonetheless. Of course, I have lots of layers, so this is measuring my longest and pulled straight when damp (just like I did for my starting measurement).

I'll have to get some pictures taken, since I haven't done that since Nov/Dec also.

That's great! Your color and texture are absolutely gorgeous, and it's always fun to measure after you haven't done it for a while, because then you get a W00T! moment. I'd love to see the longer pictures.

Yeah. That's dancing cheese worthy growth!:cheese:

Okay, I hope this works.

Here is the progression - before I joined LCH, right after I got my hair cut (July 2007),when I joined LCH (July 2008 before I hennaed), when I last measured (I think early Dec. 2008) and today. The third one was obviously straightened.

The larger one is actually a L&H Prelude and the smaller one is a Blevins Amadeus. I still have the Blevins, but I've since sold the Prelude to buy a pedal - a Venus Premier.

you have such beautiful hair...congrats on the growth, (you know thats funny how we say congrats about something that happens naturally, I guess we should congratulate the fact that you didnt cut it)

[myotislucifugus]

Your user name is so apt, glad to hear you love your curls and don't straighten them. The twist, the color, absolute gorgeousness.:love:

Thanks so much, everyone :) I can't wait to post when I've reached hip! My goal for that is by Christmas (measured damp and pulled straight).
