My 2nd anniversary, almost 3 years of growing and no trimming and almost 1000 posts!

[serious]

Who would have believed it!!!!

First of all, I'd like to say thank you for everything I have learned from all of you (and not only about hair care!)
And, special thanks for everyone who's been tolerating my awful English! I love you all!:flowers:

And, now, the pics:

This was me at November 2007:

Right after these photos were taken, I started hennaing, first with Lush Caca Brun, than with BAQ henna and indigo. I was so thrilled with the condition of my hair afterwards that I decided to grow my hair as long as possible!

Here's my hair as of August 2008, when I first joined the LHC:

And here's my hair as of few days ago ( for the one on the right, I combed wet, just to see how it looked, the left one is my hair right out of a cinnabun)

As you can see, my ends look a bit weird since I didn't trim a slightest bit during past year and during 2009. I only did a few micro trims, nothing else. I still can not decide what to do next, to start trimming or not, I mean, my ends are healthy and soft but sometimes they just don't look like fairytale ends, they look like medusa ends:

And, finally, cake for everyone:

( ahem, it's not a cake actually, it's bread but it's delicious with :cheese:)

[chopandchange]

Wow, your hair has grown so much! Hooray!

I like the funny face you superimposed onto yourself! And the bread looks yummy!

Is it a bread for special occasions, or do you eat such pretty bread every day?

[LouLaLa]

Phenomenal! You have very pretty hair, I hope you are enjoying the reward of your patience and care! :cheer:

[Henrietta]

Delicious cake... hm... bread with cheese!

STUNNING GROWTH! It's so inspiring to see your pictures compared- short hair and long hair:)
Don't be so critical. Your ends are ok! :)

Oh! Almost forgotten! Where did you buy the purple lipliner? ;););)

[spidermom]

Ummmmmm, bread! It looks wonderful.

Your hair looks pretty nice, too. Good growth.

[serious]

Thanks, chopandchange,

it's just an ordinary white bread, a little embellished for special occasions :D

Great growth, serious, and more importantly, your hair looks just gorgeous! :cloud9: Congratulations on 3 years of excellent growing and on 2 years with us at LHC. Your ends don't make me think of Medusa at all. They're lovely. :blossom:

That's wonderful growth! Congratulations!! And oh my, can I have some of that bread? No? How about the recipe then :D?

Your "cake bread" looks divine, and I will indeed help myself to a piece!:cake:

You've come a long way! You must almost be at your goal :cheese:

That bread looks delicious!

[jackie_brown]

Serious, i love your color and shine!
Did you apply henna always on whole head or only on roots?

[Speedbump]

Excellent growth, and thanks for the :yumm: :D

Thanks for the bread and :cheese:

[SarahBeth]

your hair is beautiful, congratulations!

[florenonite]

Wow, your hair's grown so much! I'm sitting here telling myself you're either (a) really short or (b) shortish and very leggy, because otherwise I'll just be envious of your fast growth :lol:

It's so shiny, too!

[jel]

Congrats on your hairiversary - cestitke! :flowers:

Your hair looks great, and I don't think there's anything wrong with Medusa ends... Of course, I might be slightly biased there, as I have them! ;)

[Medievalmaniac]

congratulations! You have gotten wonderful growth and condition in the past three years. I love it!! :)

[TrudieCat]

Wow, that's amazing growth! Congrats! :cheer: :cheese:

[sibiryachka]

Amazing growth, and your hair looks fantastic! "Medusa" would never have entered my mind to describe your ends, I don't think you need to worry about them. Instead, celebrate your anniversary and enjoy that delicious-looking cakebread!

[little_acorn]

Awesome hair and bread :D

[Juneii]

Pretty! Congrats!

[Coriander]

Thank you, Melikai, the pleasure was mine :)

[Centaur]

Your hair grew a lot in one year. It looks great! And, I actually like the look of your ends quite a lot. It just suits you and the natural wave and motion of your hair for some reason.

[Natalia]

Holy smokes i didnt realize you started so short and wow that is ALOT of great healthy growth and shine to envy :D! I know im a bit late but congratulations on all the hard work and patience :flowers: .

[christine1989]

Beautiful hair! You have the two things I want most- waist length hair and bread! :)

[UltraBella]

Such awesome growth ! The pics are really amazing, especially when you see how short it was to start !! Thanks for sharing - and that is the yummiest looking bread I have ever seen :)

[kescue]

Very nice! ... definitely gives me HOPE! Congrats!

[minerva_deluthe]
