You know my damaged ends?.... they're finally GONE!

[Nightshade]

I had a trim just before the 4th of July and wanted to make triple, quadruple, absolutely SURE I was right before posting this, but here goes...

That damage I have kvetched about, whined about, and otherwise posted endlessly (but not as endlessly as henna) about are GONE.

My DH asked me how much I wanted off and I said 1.5 inches... that took me from Classic to somewhere between tailbone and classic, but the very last of the tattered dye damage that's held on since I stopped dying my with chemicals and switched to henna in 2005 is finally gone :cheer:

There's still some ruby-red on the ends from henna, and I'd like to thicken up my hemline, so I plan to keep trimming here and there, but it's nice to know that I'm officially a 100% henna/cassia head and that the last bit of the dye that caused my hair to break from hip to BSL has been snipped, swept, and tossed in the trash.

My thanks to you all, who have listened to me whine, who have supported me when I despaired, and who have let me prattle endlessly about my efforts to remove the dye slowly while hanging onto my length.

Getting rid of that dratted dye was my first LHC goal, and it took me longer than reaching my goal length of tailbone. For all the trouble, I really wouldn't change how I went about it. It took 4+ years, but my hair went from trashed, burgundy, and BSL, feeling like Velcro and plastic doll's hair, to golden copper, nearly classic and silky,wavy and soft.

Thank you again, friends :flowers: Special thanks to Beldaran and Belisama, my two real-life friends who are also on LHC- without your reassurance, Belisama, and your loving kicks to my arse, Beldaran, I don't think I'd have managed.


And yes, here's your obligatory photo. It's pre-trim, but you can't see much of a difference- just like this, only a titch shorter :lol:

Your hair is looking great!

By which method did you get those curls in your sig?

Congrats, Nightshade!

Thank you, GlassEyes!

A legendary history of growing out damage is over today, but will forever remain written in the LHC chronicles...

[LutraLutra]

Great work :cheer: Hair is amazing stuff, isn't it? With a little TLC the difference is amazing. :)

[Madame J]

Congrats! So now your hair is going to look even more gorgeous? Not really fair....

But, still, congrats!

[Arctic]

Congratulations! You have been an inspiration to so many LHCers with your patient approach, you really decerve to celerate! :cheer: :cheer:

[rogue_psyche]

Congrats! I'm growing out dye and switching to henna as well and your hair has been very inspiring. Last time I grew out dye it took three years with periodic chops to APL. Now I'm hoping to make my goal of waist length, maintain until the damage is gone, and go from there.

Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge you bring to LHC!

[Rohele]

Congratulations - here's to happy, healthy ends!

You're an inspiration for anyone who's growing out damage - you have absolutely gorgeous hair. :)

[Allegra]

Well done! Your article on damage and overcoming it was one of the first I read here, and one of the most useful. i still refer to it every so often. So it's inspiring to see your advice in action!

[Brianna]

Congratulations! Your hair looks wonderful, it must feel great to have finally reached that goal. ^^

It's also really inspiring, as I'm reaching for pretty much the same goal as you (dye-free tailbone/classic). I can only hope I end up with hair as gorgeous as yours. :D

[Nightshade]

Congrats and a cheesecake, Nightshade

ROFL I didn't think it was quite legendary, perhaps I talked more about it than I thought! :p



Great work Hair is amazing stuff, isn't it? With a little TLC the difference is amazing.

It is, I never thought my hair could be so nice! This is the longest it's been (around classic) since I was 13, and I was a good deal shorter then! :lol:



Congrats! So now your hair is going to look even more gorgeous? Not really fair....

But, still, congrats!

Bah, it doesn't look that much different, actually. ;)



Congratulations! You have been an inspiration to so many LHCers with your patient approach, you really decerve to celerate!

Thank you :D I'm thinking of treating myself with a chai while I pack boxes this weekend.



Congratulations on meeting such an important goal!!!

Thank you :D More than the length, this was what I was working for :) I LIKE my length, but this just makes me happier. That said, if I'd ever have chopped instead, THAT would have made me terribly unhappy.

I am another who is inspired by you. It is evident in my siggy pic that I am growing out hair damaged by chemical bleach and dyes. I found LHC and am now on a similar course as you were, growing it out and not trimming till it is longer. Thanks for showing us how it is done :)

Congratulations!

You're an inspiration to the rest of us! I've been growing out bleach damage and I love seeing how you've managed to keep your length while regaining healthy hair. :flower:

They were a monster plague, but good riddance :)

Heh, yeah. It was our yearly department meeting, which means we spend an entire week getting nothing of any importance done, and just a lot of people talking and doing "YAY TEAM" stuff.

So far as they knew I was just taking some really diligent notes :lol:

I'm glad you liked it, I'm a writer by trade, so it's good that it's readable!

Wonderful! I've told you this before but your hair is a dream, and congratulations on finally getting rid of the old ends. Yay! :bounce:

[Heidi_234]

Does that mean you've grown from short to tailbone+ in 5 years? That's impressive. I'm so happy for you! I'm almost done with my nasty ends, I can imagine what a relief it is! Anyway, congrats. :cheer: Looking at your hair properties I just realized that you must be one of few ii people whose hair looks really thick and full (yes, despite what you think about your ends :)).

Beautiful (as usual). And encouraging to me (also trimming patiently away as the months and years pass by...).

Honestly, Nightshade, your pics are always like works of art. They look as if they should be blown up and pasted across billboards nationwide! Well, that's the way I view them, anyway... :D

[walkinglady]

Congratulations, it's been a long process but look at the beautiful outcome! You're hair is gorgeous!

I still remember a thread years back about a little girl who saw your hair. If I remember right you were at a park. With an awestruck voice she said, "Oh mommy, look at her hair. Isn't it pretty." You really impressed her! Your hair impresses me as well : )

[Nightshade]

:bigeyes: Wow, thank you all for your kind words of congratulations :blossom:

I'm glad the things I've learned are helpful to others in turn, and I hope to see more "my damage is gone" threads in the future :inlove:

Looking at your hair properties I just realized that you must be one of few ii people whose hair looks really thick and full (yes, despite what you think about your ends ).

Well, I guess that depends if you consider "short" to be BSL :) Since I trimmed about as much as I grew, I could have been to knee or so if my hair had been healthy (and if I wanted to grow to knee). There's some people here that have gone from shoulder to classic in 5 years, but their hair didn't need as much trimming :)

My hair has a nice habit of looking thicker than it is when it's down. :) I'm grateful for that :p



Beautiful (as usual). And encouraging to me (also trimming patiently away as the months and years pass by...).

Honestly, Nightshade, your pics are always like works of art. They look as if they should be blown up and pasted across billboards nationwide! Well, that's the way I view them, anyway...

*chuckles* Nice as my bathroom is, I don't think I'd want it on a billboard :lol:

Keep with the trims and the care; it seems like you're not getting anywhere for a long while, but once it starts improving it gets better fast :)



Yay! isn't it grand to finally reach that long sought after goal? It takes time and patience but it's so worth it. Congrats!

Thank you! It did take a lot of time, but I'm so glad I never had to start over with short hair, even though it'd have been a lot easier in many respects.

Anyway, just wanted to say: Brava!

I'm not sure. I initially said tailbone, and ended up at classic before my trim and found I like classic a lot. I've dithered with the idea of fingertip as well :ponder:

[lucys]

Wow, Nightshade. That is amazing.

I think I said once (a long time ago) that your hair was one of my huge inspirations for growing mine out. That looks amazing, and has served me as a reminder of why I wanted mine long in the first place.

Congratulations, Nightshade! :cheese: Your hair is definitely thudworthy!!! I loved looking at the links you posted and seeing your amazing progress. :thud:
