Holy crap does time fly while sitting in the yard watching grass grow...err... Should I mean hair? Lo and behold, it grows! Who said a watched pot doesn't boil!

This was summer 2008, around when I started my hairy journey at LHC...

And here is spring 2009, I reached waist and had switched to hennindigo instead of Garnier 100% Box Dye:

And this was mid-summer 2009, moving toward hip...

And here is today, April 2010!

So here it is! I'm at 33 inches, I'd be at 34, but I cut back an inch on the spring equinox. But I hadn't trimmed in almost a year so I let it be:) My original goal is to get to 37" which is tailbone. Right now, I would say I am Solidly Hip Length. I have a long pelvis, and feeling :eyebrows: where Tailbone sits on me leads me to believe the hair should be grazing the top of the pockets of those jeans in the bottom pic!

:toast: Here's to more hairy progress to come!

:joy: :cheese:

Hairy madness is right! You've really gained a lot of length. I can't wait to be that length. By the way, I love your henndigo color.

Thanks! As far as my routine, I do not use heat, and I use henna & indigo to dye my dark blonde hair black. I CWC, with occasional CO in between. Sometimes I use cones, sometimes I don't. Right now my first C is inecto Coconut Conditioner. I also love VO5 Passionfruit Smoothie conditioner. It smells so yummy. Then I use dove cucumber & green tea shampoo. Then I use Herbal Essence Hydralicious purple. When I go cone free, I use Nature's Gate Hemp conditioner. My hair isn't very picky, and is fairly resillient. I think I am at the point I can pick products based on my olfactory reaction, as I love things that smell yummy. I haven't done a major chop to remove chemical dye/straightening damage (pre LHC) and it seems my hair lived through it.:shrug: I comb it and I brush it. I wear it down more than I wear it up, for me that is what makes having long hair fun. I like feeling the swishing and swinging. If I wear it up it is usually on a windy/rainy day or to work, and I'm limited as to how many updos I know. It keeps growing so I've outgrown some updos and my ends stick out now.:confused: I henna and indigo my hair monthly, and I use the cheap Indian store variety Jamila henna. I see no difference between that and the expensive Internet kind. Indigo I can't be cheap with, as I can't find one out there aside from the expensive Internet variety. I wash my hair twice a week, I'd say. And once a week during the cold winter as I hate cold wet head. I do deep treatments occasionally, and I use coconut oil on my damp hair. I also use coney creams sometimes.
