11 months since my hair was short (pics!)

[Tap Dancer]

First off, my camera stinks lately. Everything comes out lemon yellow or really grainy. But here are my pics! :)


I got my hair cut short July 17, 2007. I got lots of compliments but I didn't like it. I took one picture the day it was cut and swore I wouldn't take any other pics until it grew out some:

This is January 8, 2008. I trimmed my bangs for the last time right before I took this picture:

February 13, 2008. My bangs grew quite a bit in one month:

Here are the pics I took an hour ago!

* I washed my hair 2½ hours before taking pics. My hair is always a little wild after I wash it. By tomorrow it will be straighter and look longer. The back is several inches below my shoulders. My bangs are chin length when pulled straight down.

So from this.............................................. ........................................to this in 11 months. Wooo! :cheese:

P.S. I wasn't able to get any flattering face pics but looking at my January pic is amazing to me. I've lost a lot of weight and my face isn't round like that at all anymore! :D I'll try to take better pics another time.

And here's the "lemon yellow" bathroom pic I took this morning. LOL

ETA:
I decided to be a good sport and try again for a face pic. My camera takes good pictures in the living room (better lighting, I guess?) and this pic is very accurate of my hair color and pale skin. LOL

It's the first pic I've ever taken in my life without bangs! (Compare it to my pic from 6 months ago when my face was fatter. LOL)

You have beautiful hair. Did you have any cuts in between? It looks so healthy.

[Dark Rosaleen]

That's quite a bit of growth you have there. It looks lovely. And I really like the "wild" look.

[jojo]

Holy moly thats some growth, I think longer hair suits you much better x

[Tap Dancer]

Thank you all so much for the compliments and comments! :cloud9:

Scroll up to the second post. I just added another pic that I took a few minutes ago. :)


Renarok: I haven't trimmed my hair at all. I never do while I'm growing. I want length...and fast! LOL

Harpgal: WOW!! That's like the compliment of the year coming from you! Your hair is awesome and I've always admired it. Thank you!! :flower:

[MemSahib]

It's really beautiful. Your waves/curls are so pretty, Tap Dancer! I'm loving your new look.

[Molster]

Great growth, and a lovely wave coming out. I think longer hair suits you better, too.

[hurricane_gia]

Your hair looks so great! It looks very thick, too!

[Guenever]

Beautiful hair! :D
- I love the wavy messiness - like you just run your fingers through it..
Congrats on your growth^^

Beautiful hair and your eyes, too! They look much more open now. Congratulations on the growth and shrinkage. Tee hee!

[Islandgrrl]

[SHELIAANN1969]

That's a lot of progress, way to grow! Congrats on your length.

[vindo]

That looks wonderful Tap Dancer! I love the waves.:)

Your face looked good before but I see the difference and Im glad youre happier with a not round face.

Btw. your eyebrows are shaped so nicely!

Emi :flower:

[Sofoulee]

Your hair and face are both gorgeous! I bet your hair has that perfect kind of "wave" to it that looks like it took hours but is actually completely natural... I'm officially jealous. haha.

Congratulations!

[DarkChocolate]

Really Nice:) I like your curls too:)

[FrannyG]

Well look at you!!! Your growth has been excellent and your hair is in beautiful condition. You're just lovely. :flowers:

[WritingPrincess]

Wow, Tap Dancer, I lovelovelove those curls! You have had quite a bit of growth in the past year and you're well on your way. What're your goals?

[eadwine]

Wow.. marvelous growth there! If I may be perfectly honest though.. I did like the face shape better on the before.. sorry ;) But the growth... *thud*

[Tap Dancer]

Writing Princess: I'm going for somewhere between mid-back and waist.

Eadwine: My face shape is still the same. :lol: I'm turned at an angle in the new pic. My face just isn't as wide as before. I'll take a foward-facing picture sometime.

[DavidN]

That is absolutely wonderful growth in a mere 11 months, Tap Dancer!:cheer: Your hair is shiny and is in excellent condition, and thank you for sharing your progress with us.

[Morticia]

Great growth. Your hair now looks like it's styled that way, not just growing out. :)

[Shiin]

Great growth! Your hair is beautiful :flower:

[busnutmedic]

Oh my, stunning!!!! The difference between your two pictures is amazing. You look way younger in the current one. Beautiful growth in your hair, too :D

Bonnie

[Millielie]

I agree, your hair is really beautiful. It's very becoming to you.

[jeno]

You look wonderful! And what a growth! You look younger in longer hair, it really suits you.

[Prettypolly]

It looks beautiful! I actually think your hair looks great at each stage too :lol:

[Garnet66]

Your hair looks great! I'm glad you decided to grow it.

[harley mama]

Wow, that is amazing growth. I am impressed.
You are a lovely woman and have very pretty hair.

[AutumnLeaves]

Wow! You've had a ton of growth in 11 months! I must say you are a stunning looking girl! And I think you look even better without the bangs! Very very pretty!

[yogachic]

You have really nice growth, and you must have lost a good amount of weight, you look like a different person. Way to go!

[Rustella]

Wow, look at you grow! You look younger in your newer pictures, also. Good job! :)

[LuXious]

That's some speedy growth and wow you have beautiful hair :)

[LongForLife]

WOW, so beautiful! It's amazing that hair can grow that much in such a short time, isn't it? I love the new hair style too, it enhances your face really nicely. :)

[tiny_teesha]

Wow your hair looks so amazing now! :) Well done great progress!

[Mitzy]

Very nice! I am feeling you on the bangs!! You have such a pretty face, I think both suit!! But the longer hair is better. I don't see much difference in your face, but that might be the angles.
Keep growing!!

[saman]

My hair is like yours at January pic but longer in front at ear length and I want it to reach my shoulders just like yours and your pics are really great because they show the progress I should go through.By the way you have healthy and beautiful hair and I think your face looks nicer because of the weight loss.Good Luck

[nissamholtz]

Wow. Thats great growth. Keep it up!

[queenjord]

[jeno]

You look very good! And you have beautiful hair too! No bangs and long hair really suits you. And what a growth...

[HappyKarin]

Wow how much your hair have grown!
Looks beautiful :)

[Just_Isabel]

Great growth, TapDancer, and I agree that the longer hair makes you look younger (or the short hair made you look older :lol:). It really looks like you got it cut that way and not like you're just growing. :)

[Lisa-Maria]

The longer hair really do look better on you, makes you look more lively and healthy IMHO.

[C_Bookworm]

what an amazing amount of growth, your hair is so healthy and shiny!

[sexyjacksparrow]

Your growth is looking good. And your hair is so shiny!!

Kerry xx

[GlassEyes]

It does look really good. : D

[NurseMama]

That is really some impressive growth! Do you know how many inches that you gained?

BTW, as a woman who has recently lost some weight too, let me tell you congratulations! I think that you honestly look wonderful in both pics, but I can really see your cheeckbones pop in the second :).

[lawyermom]

Thank you for posting your progress pics - very inspiring to us short hairs!

[SchnauzerMom]

Wow your hair is growing like crazy, looks gorgeous.

[Marcipangris]

You're beautiful, and your hair texture is exactly the kind I wish I had! It will look amazing long!
