On this day, 9 years ago I shaved my head. Happy hairniversary to my hair! :cheer:

Today I’m at “Can I call it knee length yet? How about now? Now?!”:lol:

The LHC pose. Unfortunately I got a bit of an elastic-dent from a quick ponytail I did when I made a sandwich (Ugh, I left it down for 6 hours or so after a WO wash, but the ponytail I did for less than 6 minutes to not get hair in my food left a dent. No fair!) Leave in-conditioner applied to the full length like always and ends lightly oiled

Close-up of the ends. I’m very happy with their thickness and quality after the trim

Well done. You don't have year by year pics do you ? I was thinking for those of us on the journey to long hair - it would be lovely to see what growth is attained in a year!
Your fair is fab, the ends are great.

That’s a long handled Chechen comb from Ric the Combmaker (http://www.combmaker.com/LongHandledCombs/Chechen.html). I don’t use it a lot though since I rarely handle my hair dry

^ Now. . . how dare you post 9 years of Stunning Spectacular Astonishing Awesome'ness, just all at one time, and force the rest of us "Unfortunate" members to look at it! Shame on you! LOL :p :D J/K

As soon as I saw your "LHC Pose" I thought to myself. . . "Whoa?! Is that a knife in her hand, and she is assuming the 'stealth-throwing-position' ?! haha" :hatchet: The "hilt" of your comb looks very unique to that.

YES, GO AHEAD and call it knee-length! It appears to actually go past where your knees bend.


CONGRATULATIONS, IGOR!!!

Igor, your hair is absolutely amazing! It bowls me over to look through all of your progress photos.

You are a hair inspiration to us all. :)

You seem to be quite tall, so the body markers for longer lengths are further apart, so your 9th hair anniversary is made even more spectacular. :flower:

December 23rd, 2010, 01:55 PM
Thank you for the kind words everyone! :cheer:


Do treat yourself to that mega flexi! :D :thumbsup:
You shouldn’t encourage me! Evil enabler!



I will never forget climbing the stairs to the NY public library and seeing the most immense blond bun that I have ever seen. It was stunning. When you turned around, I learned that it was you.
That was a good day indeed! I really wish we could do that again, but it really didn’t work out with the American boyfriend I had then :rolleyes: The first one I recognised was Alba-NY, when I was heading for the stairs myself :)


wow, 9 years!
Thanks so much for being such wonderful hair-inspiration. Your info about hair have really helped me. And, of course, your hair is just gorgeous!
Ah, this one deserves a special thank you :flower: It really warms my ego when people find my time and effort useful


Congratulations on your gorgeous hairniversary. Your comb looks like you just pulled it out of a holster in the LHC pose picture. Combs at 20 paces!
So, not “quick on the draw” but “gentle at the handling”? :gabigrin: I do think we are all pretty deadly with our combs my now though…



I hope this is not a rude question, but may I ask why you shaved your head?
Not rude, just curious. Usually I tell people it was very damaged, which it was. I had felt like doing something with it for a while before that and a friend advised me to use pure, undiluted lemon juice to bleach it instead of regular colour. “Because it’s natural it’s gentler”. Like an idiot I believed that. Of course now I know that lemon acid is really good at breaking down protein bonds and what does hair primarily consist of? Yea; protein.
The truth is that I wanted to try it. I had been itching for a very long time to do something with it just because I could. I brought up the thought of shaving it all to a friend and she commented “Better do it now, soon you will be too old to do something as stupid as shave your head” and that scared me more than the thought of how ugly I could be under my hair!
Most people react like you have admitted you enjoy to hit babies with puppies if you tell them you voluntarily shaved your head. Funny how people can get completely worked up about you doing something you wanted to do to your own body that doesn’t hurt or even affect anyone else. I ended up dumping a few friends for extreme shallowness: Honestly, if they reacted like that, what if I ever got in an accident? Had ugly scars? Maybe became handicapped? People like that aren’t worth your time. :rolleyes:


Tusind gange tillykke! (danish for thank you very much)
Mange tak! (Thank you very much)


What comb do you use regularly in wet hair?
I use a black and a white cheap plastic comb of the kind it seems everyone in the whole wide world owns :lol: I sanded both down myself to make sure they’re hair friendly (Something the wooden comb in the picture needed desperately and disappointed me a lot since this comb has a lot of hype on LHC)



You seem to be quite tall, so the body markers for longer lengths are further apart, so your 9th hair anniversary is made even more spectacular.
I’m 173 cm tall or 5´8” which makes me on the tall side on LHC… I found it more frustrating that having iii-hair forced me to wait until hip length or so before I could make an even remotely self-stabilising cinnamon bun :justy:

People like that aren’t worth your time. :rolleyes:


thank you so much for your awnser!
the reason why I was curious is because I have thought about it myself, for the same reasons.
so it is really interesting to me to read why you decided to shave your head :)

Every time I see a post from you, I just :thud: :bowtome:.

But I must say how very much I have appreciated how well you documented your hair journey. It has been such an encouragement and inspiration for those of us who so deeply regretted cutting short.

And I gotta say, I snorted a little coffee out my nose at that "hitting babies with puppies" comment! :D

I brought up the thought of shaving it all to a friend and she commented “Better do it now, soon you will be too old to do something as stupid as shave your head”

:rollin: Funny, but true. We get so serious as we get further into our 20s.

And thank you for posting why you shaved your head. I'd been too shy to ask.

It's great to see those pics again, Igor! You are one of the people who inspired me to grow my hair longer than BSL. In the process of growing, I got the feeling back of what it was like to have long hair as a child (I had classic length as a young teen) and it's a great feeling to have!

Thanks for being an inspiration, and for sharing your hair journey with us! :flower:
