Hello all! I figured I would jump on the band wagon and post pics of my 2 years worth of progress.
March 07, After a big chop. I was about BSL with layers and bangs before. I had just done my first Henna. I loved this cut at the time.

Nov 2007, my First LHC pic. I was at the crossroads between deciding to get a pixie and growing it out. A long haired friend inspired me, and then I found this wonderful place!

March 2009, after a chop in November to obtain a blunt hemline (about 4 inches) and a trim in March that was supposed to be a dusting, but ended up being about 1.5-2")

In hindsight, I wish I hadn't have cut so much. I haven't had a trim since march, and my ends are still fine. I'm waiting until next march to have my next trim.
I s&c about every 4 days, and I use cones. (and I don't feel guilty about it :)) I do pre wash oilings with coconut or olive. I do henna glosses about every 2-3 months.
The most important thing I learned on here was about clarifying. Before, the "build up feeling" was what was prompting me to cut about every 3 months. Now I just clarify (I use A&G renew) and all is well again.
I want to thank everyone here for being a great inspiration, and for all the great tips and styles. I know I don't post a lot, but I'm on here almost every day.
