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 ;)
