I love to watch progress pictures. There really is something special to see how hair grows and becomes more and more healthy. My pics shows the opposite of this.
In August last year I decided to be a henna drop out. I had been thinking of this for a very long time and the henna didn't feel like me any more. My roots were always neon orange and my ends were dry, brittle and had a very unflattering wine/burgundy colour. I was just time for a change.
I was lucky enough to find a hair dresser willing to help me, many hairdresser often refuse to bleach hennaed hair because of the varying results. In August I cut my hair from waist length to shoulder length and bleached over the remaining henna and in early December I cut of a couple of inches and some more bleaching done.
I'm actually happy with the result, even though two toned half orange hair is the look I prefer. :cool: My hairdresser did a very good job with the bleach so I don't have a harsh demarcation line and slowly my natural colour is growing out.
Of course I miss my long hair but I'm slowly getting there again.
This is how my hair looked a few month before the cut. Ends just touching waist:

This is from January, the henna reflects the lighting so my natural colour looks extremely dull:

I'm going to try posting more recent pics in my album in a few days.
It is the opposite of progress but now my dream of classic virgin hair finally can come true!
