My first length pictures! :D

[jmallen62691]

I hope I do this right.

This is the length I started at. Sorry this pic doesn't show my hair well, but it's the only one I could find. This was taken in January of 2009. I had just gotten it cut into a stacked bob; chin length in front and lots of stacked layers in the back.

I haven't measured it in inches yet. It looks to be nearly BSL in the pics, but that's just because I wear my bra up really high. It's probably closer to APL. I can't believe I've been growing for a year, no cuts or trims at all. I hope I have beautiful long hair one day, like so many of you do. :]

That´s great progress in just one year! Are you planning to trim this year or your will just keep it grow?

[chaoticwaves]

I agree, you have made awesome progress. I do not plan to trim for a year either, and I hope I can grow that much as well!

[JenniferNoel]

Your hair reminds me a lot of my own, and that's some awesome progress you've made.
Welcome to LHC! :)

[Monsterkitti]

Yes definatly some great progress! Welcome :)

[WyrdWay]

You've had some good growth and I like the waves :D

[jmallen62691]

Thanks so much for the welcomes and compliments. I know I've made good progress, but it has seemed so slow. :] But I'm trying to enjoy the journey. I don't have any plans to trim this year either. Thanks again, I love it here.

I know the feeling! I just started taking length photos a few months ago and uuhhhggg I can't wait until it feels long to me! Especially when its curly! Its so hard to see proggress when you are in between goals :(

[xoxophelia]

I just made my first pics as well :)

If you don't want to trim your hair but have uneven hair, you could try wrapping the bottom is rollers without heat when they are nearly dry for about an hour or two. That will curl them under.. making the ends less obvious.. or, at least they will all be going the same direction.

It looks pretty solidly at APL.. next stop BSL :D...

How long do you want to grow it out?

Uhg.. I know the feeling! My hair feels so short Oo. I think once it is 4 inches longer it will be OK.. I just have to not trim if I want to get their faster... :3

But 4 inches~ 8 months!

Thanks for the tip. I slept in braids last night, which always makes my hair look kinda weird because it's not long enough to get a good braid wave pattern going, just a couple waves. But I prefer that look to the way it looks when I don't do anything to it...a natty tangled mess. ;]

I haven't decided how long I want to grow yet. This is the longest I've ever had my hair (crazy, right?) so it's all new to me.

[marobader]

great progress keep going

[Green Elf]

It's growing really fast! I wish mine was as fast as yours! :eek:

[utdesertrunner]

Great progress! That is a lot of length there!

[LittleOrca]

Beautiful Hair! :D

[elina333]

Awesome! Congrats on the progress and keep up the good work! :D

[SchnauzerMom]

Wow your hair has grown a lot in a year. It's very pretty!

[Aquamarine]

That's a great progress! Congratulations:)

[jmallen62691]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! <3 <3 <3 :D

[aladywhoknows]

This is out of left field, but you should get professionally sized, it looks like your bra is way too small. You'll notice a big difference.

[jojo]

Beautiful hair and excellent growth and yes its APL, next stop BSL for you!
