2 years of squiggy's progress (anniversary thread)

[squiggyflop]

hey everyone for the past several months my hair has been growing at the normal human rate so i havent felt the need to do monthly progress threads.. in the past 24 months ive trimmed 13 inches.. so keep that in mind when you see that i havent made much progress

well during my first year i made it from shoulder (not yet apl) to waist with 4-5 inches trimmed.

^^^picture fixed! now clickable
during my second year:
november 2008..
after horrible professional trim in september.. (i asked for half an inch and she cut off almost 2 inches) whatever at least my ends were sort of even.. my layers are finally gone.. however my underside grows faster than my canopy so i still have to wait a while before my bleach damage on my canopy grows out..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/kidmol/novemberprogress.jpg
the orange line by my shoulder shows about where my hair was in september 2007..
the second orange line shows about how long my hair would be if i hadnt had to trim off so much hair.. it was my original goal length..
dont be fooled though its nowhere near tailbone.. ive got a long bottom.. my tailbone is like 3 inches from the second orange line..
.
************************************************** *
ok so here is january of 2009
sorry about not putting my hands at my waist i was trying to be casual and not let everyone in the class see that i was using the mac computers to take a picture of the back of me.. sorry its so dark

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg69/squiggyflop/hairjanuary.jpg
i had to trim off 1 inch after a horrible accident involving foam spray insulation..
ETA its a bit past hip when wet.. but its between waist and hip dry
************************************************** ****
february 2009
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg69/squiggyflop/Photo7copy.jpg
as you can see im very close to hip.. (my hands are at waist)
hip is about 2 inches from waist.. so im only hip on days that my hair is straighter.. its wavy today so yeah not quite hip.. oh i managed to take the picture before class so thats why i was able to do hands on waist..
this picture really shows how unevenly my hair grows.. i no longer have a blunt hemline.. (though it may look more blunt blow-dried straight)
**************************************************
april 2009
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg69/squiggyflop/Photo2-1.jpg
well im a little bit past hip..
ive trimmed an inch since February.. i havent measured lately..not as much progress than would have liked but the trim was necessary..
oh blue line is waist and orange is hip

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i ended up trimming 4 more inches (not all at once.. an inch or 2 at a time)
but i did gain some length.. hands are on the top of my hip bones (compare to the photo above where the orange line is)
august 2009
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg69/squiggyflop/hairaugust2009.jpg

again you can clearly see just how unevenly my hair grows.. even with the constant trimming i still end up with layers.. also for some reason my top half of my hair is always straight while my bottom half is wavy.. actually it isnt so much wavy as it is really stretched out spirals.. every single hair has flippy ends.. it drives my crazy.. especially because the ends always end up fluffy and frizzy in their wavyness

so as for an update.. im now at about 34 inches and ive changed my goal from classic to ???? because its getting more and more difficult for me to manage my hair as it gets longer.. im not sure but i may choose to maintain at some point..

anyway so happy anniversary to me

My hair is the exact same, it's annoying isn't it? But at least the flippy ends sort of hide the uneven hemline.

Anyway, your length and colour are both awesome. :D

[Culdayne]

Looks wonderful! :D

[DavidN]

What wonderful progress, Squiggy, and I cannot get over how much your hair has grown in the two years since you joined, and also, congratulations on 2 years in our community! Your hair is so thick and healthy, and the colour is outstanding!

[Garnet66]

Wow, you have some beautiful hair there. Simply stunning. Congrats on your anniversary.

[yellowchariot]

Great progress! Awesome smooth shine as well! cool waves! you're doing good! :thumbsup:

Congrats!!! You have gorgeous hair :flowers:
thanks!

Happy Anniversary Squiggy! I love seeing your progress! Your hair is lookin lovely:)
well im glad you dont mind my progress threads.. i havent had one in 4 months.. thanks!


Your hair looks awesome! Have fun maintaining!:cool:
oh im not maintaining yet im just contemplating it right now.. ill maybe let it get a bit longer first.. its just so darn painful to work the knots out every day.. my hair loves to matte itself

You have gorgeous hair! Happy Anniversary.
thankyou

Great progress, your hair is getting very long! Looks fantastic, keep at it.
thanks! i was wondering if you were going to drop by this thread


Fantastic! Congratulations on reaching such lengths in only two years!!D It looks beautiful.
thanks.. i wish i hadnt had to trim so much.. my hair would be 47 inches if i hadnt had to trim so much.. oooo imagine going from shoulder to thigh length in only 2 years.. wouldnt that be strange though


My hair is the exact same, it's annoying isn't it? But at least the flippy ends sort of hide the uneven hemline.

Anyway, your length and colour are both awesome.
thanks.. yeah i suppose it sort of hides an uneven hemline.. except it also hides my very even hemline.. right now ive got an almost perfect hemline and no one can tell except when its wet


Looks wonderful!
thanks

Hey. Haven't seen you around in some time. As always I envy your growth rate. I am now just reaching waist FINALLY...LOL

[marikamt]

WOW! your hair is amazing.... and amazing progress, especially w/ 13 in trimmed... I will be thrilled beyond belief if my hair ends up like that after 24 mos... when it is your own hair, it seems like no progress, but when I look at your pics I have hope! :)

[JessTheMess]

I love to see your updates Squiggy. Your hair is simply beautiful, and I wish that I had your growth rate. After a year of being here, my hair is finally nearing waist... I think I cut whatever growth I had to get rid of damage. You are inspiring! Thank you and congrats!

[LaurenH]

Your hair looks great! :)

[Heavenly Locks]

I think the waves at the ends are just DIVINE! I gasped out loud when I got to the last picture :) Gorgeousness! :disco:

[kumar.lovely4u]

Happy anniversary. your hait is very beautiful and sexy hair...

can you put some pictures with briaded hair...

i wanna see it only in single braid.

can you do that for me ?

[Eboshi]

can you do that for me ?

Kumar, asking for pic's when you are brand-new here and we know NOTHING of you, is considered rude.

[kumar.lovely4u]

its ok. but i want to share some thing, just like i asked for pics...

i will be here regularly. i am from india.

i like longhair very much.

[Eboshi]

its ok. but i want to share some thing, just like i asked for pics...
I'm pretty sure that neither she nor anybody else here is interested in what you want to "share."

TLHC is a friendly and safe site for people who want to grow their hair out. What are you hair growing goals?

[kumar.lovely4u]

if any thing wrong here, excuse me...

[melrose1985]

Happy anniversary!!!! Your hair is looking great!

[Eboshi]

if any thing wrong here, excuse me...
Yes. Signing up and asking people that you don't even know to send you photos and then asking for them to style it just for you is rude. People who do that are generally not welcomed here, it makes people uncomfortable.

[kumar.lovely4u]

i am also suffering with hair loss. how do i prevent that ?

[Aisha25]

You can start a new thread and ask the question there :)

[kumar.lovely4u]

ok thanks for the information. iam just requseting. if any thing wrong please execuse me. iam new to this forum. please suggest me how to proceed,

[Aisha25]

Go to this main forum and press new at the top it will make new thread

[kumar.lovely4u]

Thanks aisha. i will post it in new thread. Thank you.

[squiggyflop]

yay for eboshi!

[kumar.lovely4u]

Hi Aisha, can u share ur longhair pics with me ?

Hi aisha, your default image is good.

[cobblersmaid]

Hi Aisha, can u share ur longhair pics with me ?

I am pretty sure she told you no earlier.

[kumar.lovely4u]

If you have pics like that just share with me also...

its ok. where can i see those pics ?

[cobblersmaid]

If you have pics like that just share with me also...

I think you took a wrong turn at google. This is not that kind of site. Go back to google, and I am sure the internet will find a way to make you happy. :evil:

[Aisha25]

You can see my pics just fine here

[squiggyflop]

its ok. where can i see those pics ?
stop hijacking this thread!!!:demon:
go away! do you realize how creepy you sound?

[Amraann]

What pretty hair!!!

Its nice to see the progress.

[SimplyViki]

Wow, lovely progress, though I'm a little late to this thread. I'm another fan of the way your ends behave! :D

[squiggyflop]

Happy anniversary!!!! Your hair is looking great!
thank you very much

What pretty hair!!!

Its nice to see the progress.
:D thanks.. yeah i love progress threads (mostly other peoples progress threads)

[Amraann]

I love progress threads too!
Although since my joining date (IDK a long time ago)
I have pretty much just maintained between hip and tail bone or else I would have a progress thread.
I do have to say that TLC has made a difference in how healthy it looks at this length. I still need to work on beyond tail bone healthy hair.

Your hair just looks very healthy and like the others I love the wavy ends!

[squiggyflop]

Wow, lovely progress, though I'm a little late to this thread. I'm another fan of the way your ends behave! :D
no your not late.. its only a day old..
thanks.. i do wish my ends wouldnt do that though

thanks.. :) maintaining is good.. when i hit tailbone ill probably maintain.. that way i can wear it down without sitting on it.. ill probably not maintain for long though.. im far too lazy about trimming..

[SimplyViki]

no your not late.. its only a day old..
thanks.. i do wish my ends wouldnt do that though
Aww... LOL it's funny though, I remember wishing my hair would do just that, I wanted straight on top, and softly defined curls on the ends. :hmm: I think I'm going to try doing that to my hair sometime... segmented ponytail, and rag rollers on the ends, perhaps... Experiment!

[rogue_psyche]

I'm another one that loves your ends! You have such thickness that I think they'd look cool fairytaled. But you know, it's your hair...:rolleyes:

I love you color. Such a deep red...:thud:

[NiAosSi]

Yay! Your hair looks great!

[Indigo Girl]

You have beautiful hair, squiggy! Congratulations on your progress, and Happy Anniversary. :D

[Reptilia]

My hair is like yours, it grows at difference paces all over! Annoying!

Yours is looking awesome though! I actually really like the wavy ends.

they have special rollers for that from japan.. not sure why they love the soft curls at the ends but they do..

I love you color. Such a deep red...:thud:
hmmm fairytailed.. not sure if i could let that happen.. it might make it harder to deal with split ends.. though updos would be a bit easyer... hehe yes henna is a wonderful thing.. thanks for the compliment.. atleast henna covers up my strange natural color.. it strats off a light brown and turns redder and redder as time goes on and at my length i would have copper ends and brown roots..


Yay! Your hair looks great!
thanks:cheese:

Amazing progress! Your hair is gorgeous, and one of the colors I admire most on this board. :flower: Really beautiful.

[chloeishere]

Your hair is always gorgeous squiggy, and I also really envy your growth rate.

I haven't trimmed nearly as much as you, my hair started out, what, maybe 4 inches shorter than yours, and I joined a few months after you. My hair has just passed BSL for the first time, and I've trimmed maybe 4 inches since I've joined. Amazing!

[spidermom]

Very pretty; well grown.

actually its my canopy thats wavyer than my underside.... ive got a theory that my canopy weights down my underside while it drys so it ends up unable to curl up

She did it the same way as everyone else here did it. Took care of it, learned new things, and just let it do what it does best ;) Squiggy's hair grows ridiculously fast, I'm quite jealous ;)

Welcome to the boards, have a look around and introduce yourself if you haven't already. Pretty soon you'll be posting anniversary threads like this as well. :flower:
