It seems that time has come for my anniversary post too. It's been a while...

I usually had longish hair, by after the postpartum shed I didn't really like it and cut to almost a bob. If lots of unruly curls could be called a 'bob' :) I had this cut nearly 5 years before I started to want my normal hair again!

Here are the photos...
This is my hair in Dec 2007 in its bob state. I kinda liked it because I looked like my mom who I like, too :) And because of all the curls and thickness. Now that I think of it, I did use coney shampoo and condish back then.

In november 2008 I had my last mainainance 'bob' cut, a bit longer than usual, tho, and let my hair grow.

In February 2009 I joined the LHC and first thing I tried was an SMT, here's a photo after that.

Then I discovered soap-based shampoo bars :) I used sulfate-based Lush stuff before, so got to get used to ACV rinses. This photo is around May 2009:

Then I went into cone-free sulfate-free realm and that's what I had in December 2009.

I might send more recent shot a bit later...

My biggest gains in the last year are what I learned about the ingredients here, started giving my hair more moisture, learned new updos and all the fun I had reading this forum :) And reaching APL, last but not least.

So.... thank you all for your wisdom, help and inspiration!!!

Currently I am struggling with the urge to trim my hair for a straight across blunt hemline. My hair at the front is only shoulder-length, and shoulder-to-APL at the back, so it's a bit awkward sometimes.
If I cannot resist the urge I will just send a message here for support ;)

hmmm

Your curls and wurls are so cute, and that was some crazy growth you got! I can't wait to see next years update!

Your hair grows pretty fast in one year. It is way longer even with your big curls.
Good progress.

Thank you Pixna! I am afraid, ppl are misled by my pics. My true 'startup' photo is really the second one, of Feb 2009. My longest hairs were just covering my neck and barely touching the shoulder a year ago, and still heavily layered.
I think, to grow from shoulder to APL is pretty common... That's about 12-15cm on me.
But thanks a lot nevertheless!!! :)

PS I wanted to have photo1 with a bob just for comparison :)

Hehe thanks Dani! I love the color of that Didymos too. Pity my baby wasn't that excited about the wrap which is now neatly folded and patiently waiting in the closet, in case any second chance will come ;) I just can't part with it!!!

Inty,
you're my hair idol/inspiration for this year!
I too have 2c/3a blonde curls, currently at shoulder/collarbone length with some layers. I plan not to cut/trim my hair this year and hopefully reach APL by the end of 2010 and looking as georgeous as you.

Your hair is lovely. Both the color and the waves/curls.

I have never complimented anyone on their "before" picture but your waves make even a short cut very pretty.
