Has it already been a year? :)

Well, I'm not very happy to post my progress pictures. I've been dealing with some major stress lately and my hair seems to be showing signs of it. In the past month, I've had major breakage on my dyed ends and way too much shedding to my already thin hair.

Well, here is where I started last December. I started growing out my virgin hair.

This is me today.

I darkened the bleached hair a couple of months ago (not touching the virgin hair). I'm contemplating cutting several inches off.... I'm not sure yet. You can see how thin the ends are especially since I started this major shedding problem. I'm not rushing to cut it though.

Your hair looks so smooth and glossy !

Sorry about your shedding problems. You are not alone. I have had alot of stress and the holidays are not helping . I keep trying to remind myself to calm down and relax and enjoy things more but it is soooo hard. The bad thing about stress affecting our hair is the stress can be gone and you can still lose hair months later - ugh so not fair.

You hair is actually growing nicely. You've just passed the point where milestones are closer together and it seems like your hair grows overnight. And unless you are having health concerns, imagine each shed hair as a hair starting over as virgin hair, rather than a hair gone. Eventually your whole head will be made up of those new, undyed hairs.

Anyway congrats on a year of LHC! :cheese:

That's great growth for one year. :flower: I'm not an expert at all on bleach damage (I did a major chop in '98 that got rid of most of mine), but if you are unhappy with your ends, maybe you could maintain where you are until it's gone? You look like you're at the tailbone-length milestone at the longest part. Overall, your hair is very pretty!! Happy One-Year! :D
