Well, I'm not sure if anyone remembers me. I've been MIA for a bit. My growth had stalled and I found it depressing to come here and remind myself every day how lame my short hair is compared to all the awesome locks around here. :( But I'm happy to say that lately it's been growing like a weed; I've had to henna twice in the past two months to keep up with it! I guess it's one of those things, like how a watched pot never boils. I can stop feeling sorry for myself now :P
I found a pic from June 08 when I joined, and took one today for comparison. Overall, I'm happy with the progress, even with the stall and trim! I still haven't found a good routine, although the articles and the advice here have helped me find some things my hair likes. I especially appreciate Aisha's info on herbs, since my hair likes them from time to time. I ought to try Mellie's advice on soapnuts too. Anyways, I'm rambling, but I wanted to express my appreciation for the help and advice members here have given me directly and indirectly :) Hope the next year is even better!
Sorry for the links, I don't know how to embed flickr pictures. (help anyone?)
