Hello. I found a picture yesterday of my hair from a year ago and I was shocked. I thought it might be helpful for others who are growing out layers. I got a very severe layered razor cut in my hair about two years ago.:doh:I've been trying to get rid of the layers ever since. I was trimming a lot before I joined. No wonder I felt like I was at the same length forever. I was. Well, at least part of my hair was.

I can't believe the difference in the hemline. The length is similar, but the width has really increased. I guess this past year, I've been growing for width, not length.:lol:
Finally, I'm at the point where I can just go for length. :happydance:

Thanks LHC!!

Amazing growth:) Your hair really became so much fuller as it go longer:) I feel the same is happening with me so you are quite the inspiration:)

I'm going to have to disagree with you. Although you have definately grown out a lot of fullness, I'm also seeing some increase in length. Perhaps it's just the difference in angle or something in the picture or picture size, but it looks like you've gained a few inches as well as fullness. I love your color, by the way.

Your hair looks great in both pictures :)
Maybe it's just an optic illusion of the added thickness at the hemline, but on the second one your hair looks longer than on the first

It's definitely looking thicker and fuller at the hemline! Great job growing out layers - it's a hard thing to do well!! :)

You are really motivating!

I have layers which i made myself with rough handling,ripping, being impatient on my tangles,wearing hair loose in bed etc.Like you did,I am going to grow out the layers before I concentrate on my length.

My ponytail circumference is 4.1 inches,but near the tip it is holdable between two fingers.When I make an up do,I have at least 1/6th of my hair not reaching the hair toy/scrunchy and hanging down.Hope to have some extra thickness down to the hemline by 2011.:magic:

I've got tons of inspiration from you always.Happy growing dear ocean woman!:)

Awww, you're so sweet!:flower: I'm so happy that these pics gave you some inspiration. That's what I'm here for dear friend. If someone would have told me last year that I could get my hemline to this point, I wouldn't have believed them. You're on your way darling! :cheer:
