Hi all,

I've been absent for quite a while, busy with that thing called life. But, I managed to take a good picture of my hair the other day, so I thought it was high time for a little update. I joined in August of 2007, with shoulder-ish length, highlighted hair. I grew out most of the damage and maintained between BSL and waist for about a year and a half.

This last year has been crazy-busy - I finished my master's degree, planned a wedding while overseas and just last month was married to the man of my dreams. Needless to say, my hair care routine has definitely been one of benign neglect, but it doesn't seem to have done any harm. I'm very happy with its condition, and now that I've hung out at waist for a while now, I'm ready to head down to hip.

It has been a great few years, and hopefully I'll have time to check in a bit more often :)

Amazing growth, its nice too see the transformation from 3 years. Your hair looks beautiful and very healthy over the years, I also love the golden blonde hair colour you have now!.:)

I visualize how my hair will be like in 3 years time. You started in 2007 when you were 20 years old, the age that I am right now so I hope to have healthy long hair like you when im 23 & hopefully will still be a member on this forum.

Can I ask how tall you are?

Thanks for all your sweet compliments :) I love my natural color, and I'm so glad I grew it out. I still get a few highlights around my face - they add dimension and brightness that is very flattering, but isn't too damaging. Plus, I keep my hair layered, with shorter pieces framing my face so the damage gets trimmed off frequently.

It is funny how the pendulum swings the longer you're a member of this forum. At first, I my ultimate goal was to grow it all out to one length, with 100% virgin hair that I wore in protective styles all the time. Then, after I achieved that (and got bored with wearing it up all the time), I decided that a happy medium worked best for me. So now, I highlight a few pieces around my face, keep it layered (which is the only way my wurls come out to play), and wear it down every wash day. I also occasionally blow dry and curl it for special occasions...and you know what? Even with all that, I think it looks pretty darn good.

Thanks again for all of your sweet words - it definitely has been a great year!
