Hello!

It's been a while since I've posted any photos because I wanted to wait till I hit my one year mark, which I did on Feb 27th :cheese: I posted these on my blog but I wanted to post them here to update those who don't read blogs ;)

So here it is, one year with no trims.

And I made a chart, to predict growth....I should be solid APL by around July, and BSL between September-November!

Oh and one more thing!!! No more roots show on me! Which many of you know was the reason I kept colouring my hair. I finnaly got the perfect colour to match my natural a few months ago and it blends seamlessly.

Let me know what you think!!! Who would have thought Maddy25 could go an entire year without sissors touching her hair ;) If I can do it so can you!

WOW this is pretty impressive. I love how you did the shots from the sides and front as well. I have been tracking growth too, but I am not nearly as thorough as you have been, awesome job!

Congrats Maddy! Your hair looks so pretty and has grown so much. I'm glad you got a good colour match too.

Onwards and downwards for you now then :D

I love the projected growth diagram too :lol:

hehe thanks guys :D It's great to here from you all, I missed everyone!

I track growth so much because I get so upset when I feel it isn't growing that I need lots of proof to keep on going hehe.

I LOVE the detailed progress shots! It seems like many people don't post pics of their hair when it's shorter, but really, it's the progress that's amazing even moreso than the end product!

Take pictures, people! :D

Wow!
That's so much growth- I feel kind of inspired. :p
Awesome idea keeping track with photos, it must feel so good to see all the progress you've made.
Now if only I could be as patient as you. It seems I always pick up the scissors when my hair hits a length I'm not used to. :rolleyes:

Maddy,

It's good to see your hair again, I recall you regretting cutting it(hoping I'm not confusing you with someone here :oops:), and now look at it!:cheese:

That's way too awesome!! Congratulations! You really inspire me to keep going!! My goal is to reach APL (at least) before 2012! Right now I'm shoulder length, so yeah, I'll have to wait a couple or more months!:D

Glee! I love all the pictures and the graphing of your hair growth ^_^ I'm such a dork. Seriously, though, finding a good dye match to grow out roots is awesome!

I know this will sound weird, but this was a huge help to me. I'm growing out from shaved, and I wanted to avoid trimming for at least a year. I was having trouble finding pictures of people who'd grown out from really short without trimming. :) Thank you so much for documenting your progress!

I love the progress photos! and you have installed my determination to go a full year without scissors. I think your hair is looking lovely and you have got great growth in a short period.....well done!

Maddy25, that is quite an accomplishment! And just LOOK how fast your hair got long since you chose not to trim! I can't wait to see your March 2012 thread! :cheer:

That looks really cool! If you put those picures into a rapid flow and flicked through them really fast, you could "see" your hair grow! (like with cartoons).

Way to go on your growth and Anniversary!!! A++ on your "project". You sure put a lot of effort into it with a fantastic report to show for it. How cool is that?!!! I have 3 albums of pics, but not as half as organized as yours are. Hmmmmm.....should I chop and have a do-over?.....er, maybe not! But, I really am envious of how you documented it!!! :D

That is amazing really! It grows so fast!

I am so happy to hear that my photos are helping some shorties right now :D I know how hard it is to grow out from a pixie or even shorter. It's so hard to find photos and not knowing what to expect it to look like is hard, but it's not that bad, the grow out was actually fun and it went by fast, a year sounds like a long time but it flew by, especially by doing progress photos ever 2 months. I can't wait till I can tell you all I reached APL :D

I wish I had the patience to track my growth like that. Amazing progress, though!

Nice job! Are you planning to keep tracking it as it grows out? I wish I had photos like this tracking my hair progress over the last seven years of trying to grow it out!

March 9th, 2011, 08:36 PM
Wow! So jealous of your growth! It's been 11 months since I started growing out my pixie and there were times I couldn't help but pick up the scissors. I do wish I had taken detailed photos as well, yours are fantastic!

Yay for my hair twin! We literally cut our hair into pixie cuts one day apart. :) I posted my one year thread at the end of february. Our hairs are soooooo close in length! I take progress pics every 3 months. It really does help keep up on not cutting or anything when you can see your progress.

Your hairs look great & i am happy you have a color you like. (tho it may be changing soon according to fb. haha) Congrats!

March 29th, 2011, 02:55 PM

If I had a growth as fast as yours, I'b be waist lenght by now!!!
and I love the way you monitorized it all!!!! :)

I'm so, so happy to find this thread! (New and still sifting through everything) - what awesome, encouraging progress. Your hair's beautiful!

I'm also growing from a pixie, and it's a little frustrating because I can't see many pics as a new member yet, so thanks for posting your chart. And congratulations!
