I didn't realize it or I would have taken a better photo this morning. But three years ago today I looked like this:

I did one self trim in that time, about a month ago - took off maybe an inch of ends. No heat or dye, but regular SLS shampoo and coney condish until last fall when I learned about no poo. Now it's mostly CO, with once a week or so BS/ACV, and oils. I :love: my hair now!

Three years?? :thud: Wow!
It would take at least 5 years for me to grow hair that long from bald.

How on earth did you get it so long so fast? Does trimming really hold us back that much? How were your ends when you trimmed? Did you have splits half way up the shaft? Did you always grow hair that fast? Holy cow. I'm speechless. Really.

Wow, thanks everyone for the most amazing compliments! I'd been thinking recently that my hair wasn't really growing very fast so these photos were a wake up call! Ha!
whoa that's some awesome growth.. you went from bald to below wl in 3 years! Your hair texture is really pretty
It's actually only just at BSL, not past waist! (I have a long torso) THAT would be amazing!
How on earth did you get it so long so fast? Does trimming really hold us back that much? How were your ends when you trimmed? Did you have splits half way up the shaft? Did you always grow hair that fast? Holy cow. I'm speechless. Really.
My ends were not really very bad considering I brush my hair and before LHC was really not very gentle with it. I didn't cut it because of splits but because the tip ends were REALLY ragged in length. I cut about an inch+ off but it was really only like a couple hundred hairs max that got cut I'd guess. As you can imagine, from being bald I have a thousand layers! I S&D once in awhile now and do find some splits but they don't go very far up the hair shaft. Half an inch? My hair grows about 6 inches a year I think. It always grows fast, the very first time I shaved to the skin in Jan 1995, by Sept 1998 (nearly 4 years) I had hair nearly to the waist of my jeans. It had been totally untrimmed all that time and had BAD ends so I went to a salon and asked for a trim and she cut off about 6 inches! I was mad and miserable and a few days later buzz cut it. I go back and forth every few years but now that I have discovered that double braids don't give me migraines like ponytails do (and self trimming thanks to Feye!) I am hoping to keep growing this time. :)

That is an amazing amount of growth in such a short time! To go from totally shaved bald to BSL in exactly 3 years is impressive. I do admire how you are brave enough to be able to wear a shaved head so proudly.

Thanks! The first time I shaved to the skin was in 1994 when my mom had cancer and was about to start her chemo. When she saw me the next morning she said, "well, at least you still look like a girl, and your head is a nice shape" and I have had many women tell me over the years of various buzz cuts (not shaved bald though!) how much they liked it and wished they could pull it off but they just didn't feel they could. But honestly I prefer it long! :D
