Since everyone's doing it, I'm joining in on the fun! Here's my very own progress thread. :grnbiggri
I chose February because I took my first "proper" length shot back in February 2010. I tried to replicate the conditions (after washing, still a little damp) for this comparison. :grnbiggri When I took the picture I wasn't expecting to see a lot of growth, since I trimmed a good couple of inches off during the past year (slowly getting rid of layers). But would you look at that?

That's growth, that is!
I had a great curly phase going on last summer (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/album.php?albumid=5208&pictureid=76177), I don't know why I can't make it happen lately. Winter dryness? Hennaing? Quitting CO due to excessive shedding? Probably a combination of all three factors...
Well, here's to another great year on LHC! :grouphug:

Oooh, shiny! :D Isn't it wonderful when you think you've had no growth and then realizes that you really had? I have to do that more often, hehe. Your hair looks wonderful and if your goal is hip you are almost there!

naereid, your hair is so pretty!:bigeyes: Shiny shiny red!
My hair is similar, but darker, I think; I wonder if I will make such good progress. I can't wait till it's been a year!:cheese:

I love your hair color :D
Even though you trimmed you still got a fair amount of growth and thickness compared to the first picture. Congratulations. :cheese::cheese:

Thanks for the lovely comments, everyone! :inlove: I love how supportive LHC is. It's really nice to hear an outside opinion every once in a while.
As for my colour... I used to dye my hair chemically red for a couple of years, but quit last spring and switched to henna. I'm a brunette so henna doesn't do much for my roots, aside from a nice red undertone. But instead of worrying about looking lazy, I've decided that I have best of both worlds: my length is wonderfully red while my natural colour is slowly coming along. :p

Looks great! I love progress threads because they give so much encouragement to those of us who are just getting going.

Your hair looks great! :D
I'd bet the fact that you're more wavy in February than you were in the summer is mostly due to the weather. I lose a good bit of curl this time of year too... those low winter dew points eat curls for breakfast.

Very pretty, naereid! I love the color of your hair :crush:
You've made great progress for a year's growth!

Ooh, pretty! Lovely color and wurlies!
I think that henna tends to pull out some curl/wave, at least I've read so here.

Awwww :cloud9: I had a bunch of finals this month and I'm drained, all these compliments are helping me recharge my batteries! :p

Oh yeah, and it feels pretty good to BE a source of encouragement for a moment, instead of the other way around! :grnbiggri

Thanks for the input! I agree, that just might be the main reason. Guess I'll just have to wait and see :)

My hair is naturally a warm brown. :) The 2010 picture is pure chemical dye and the 2011 picture is henna over faded dye (two applications so far). It surprised me how similar it turned out, too!

Well done! So cool for me to see your pics, as I'm at your Feb2010 pic right now and I can look forward to waist length soon :)
As for the curl, I'd say henna is the culprit there. I used to be a henna head for years and since I stopped and went back to blonde, my curls came right back. At least you know they're still there! Henna is wonderful though, lovely colour, shine and conditioning :D
Keep up the great work!
