I made it to tailbone + anniversary!

[Amara]

In 7 days it will be my three year anniversary here at LHC - but this morning when I measured, my longest hairs were 39" - which is tailbone! Figured that was a good reason to be a tad early with my anniversary celebration. ;D These pics should be clickable.

Here's where I was three years ago (on the L side - the R pic is from early summer '08):

Here's a pic from last month - picture another half inch or so and there I am! :D

I almost cut a few times, but kept going on... my hair has never been past BSL (and not past APL very often at all), even as a child. So this is all new ground for me.

My goal now is to keep growing out my natural color and eventually be here or longer without any dye. You can see in that most recent pic, in natural light, where my henna and indigo begin - a bit above APL, and my natural color above that. I'm a two-tone for now - I'm trimming a bit here and there but I don't think I'm going to do a big chop to get rid of the henna - at least now until my natural color gets to waist or so - I wouldn't mind growing from waist down again.

Anyway, thanks for looking and thanks for being such a great community! :flowers:

Congratulations for reaching TB length Amara! Your ends look very healthy and thick. And I actually think the slight two toned look is fabulous on you, I wouldn't get rid of the hair that has been hennaed at all if I were you I mean its still so very healthy!
