1 Year Anniversary! (pics)

[hmmm]

It's a little short of a year, but since I'm only going to take one photo each month I thought I'd post my first anniversary thread. :cheese:

I've never stuck around on any forum this long, and I think this is the longest my hair has ever been. I plan to grow it at least to classic, and enjoy it every minute of the way! LHC has been awesome.

Here are the pictures!

That is an amazing amount of growth in just one year! You look like a completely different person today than the person in that photo from a year ago. Your hair is also growing out so thick and healthy. Congrats on the great progress! :cheer:

[hmmm]

Wow, that's a lot of comments in a really short while! Thank you all, you're wonderful. I've not replied to everybody, although I tried... I guess a general thankyou should suffice.


Congratulations! Yay for your progress! :applause

Thank you! I love your signature, I wish I'd thought of it first!


WOW Thats some incredible growth! If you dont mind me asking so you have a specific routine?

Lovely hair so thick!

Thank you so much! I do have some sort of routine, but the only consistent thing about it is a heavy pre-wash oiling. I don't use cones, but I sometimes use SLSes, depending on how my scalp feels. I also use henna and other herbs for washing and conditioning, but not often... maybe once or twice in every three weeks or so.
And I'm addicted to oiling with EVOO between washes!

I hope that answers your question.


Gorgeous! So thick and shiny!

Thank you - it is an amazing place, with lots of fish, birds and insects. I still go there often.
