Length shots APL to classic

[julya]

I have been growing out a pixie cut since August 2003, and am now just reaching classic length. It seemed a good time to look for any length shots I could find, and I found a few. Sadly, I don't have any digital photos of the pixie. Here they are, enjoy!

Your hair is beautiful and wow, just wow to the speedy growth

Gorgeous, gorgeous hair! Tell us your secrets for fast-growing hair!

[ZaBasDa]

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous and shiny. That is pretty awesome growth you've had.

[Prettypolly]

:agape: You've got some lovely hair there!! It looks so silky :inlove:

[squiggyflop]

i think this smiley pretty much summs up my reaction:thudpile:

[mommy2one05]

wow !
please tell us any tips or advice you have for those of us wanting results like that.

[mamachanse]

Wow! Your hair is incredible!

[katiana]

Your hair reminds me of the first person I saw in real life that had long hair...it was just so stunning..long,blond and so healthy looking! Your hair has grown so fast! It really looks amazing!

[coppercurls]

You have my "dream hair"! If I could trade my curls for any other type of hair, it would be yours.
It is just stunning!:agape:

[julya]

Wow, thanks for all the compliments! I feel so good about my hair now! I just measured, and ALP to classic is about 24 inches on me, and Jan 05 to May 08 is about 40 months which averages out to about .6 inches per month. I suppose that is a pretty decent growth rate, a bit faster than average.

I think it helped that I didn't trim at all for that whole time and wore it up everyday. I also take a multivitamin and biotin 1000 mcg everyday. I try not to wash very often, maybe once a week or less. And I avoid shampoo too. I'm trying out herbal washes right now, and am thinking about going back to CO.

Thanks again everybody. If I come across some more length shots, I'll be sure to post them!

It is seriously amazing to see the growth in that short period of time. Pixie to classic in five years ... wow! Your hair grows fast but it just shows how much growth you can achieve if you look after your hair & have a little patience [mental note to self]. I have wanted long hair but never did anything to really achieve it & it has kept on breaking off & hovering around BSL. I really want to break that mental obstacle & grow my hair to at least waist & look after my hair. I swear every hair is now accounted for :D

[Poppy Seed]

Ok...how did you get to classic in 5 years??? That is phenomenal, and it looks so good!

[DecafJane]

Wow, I love your hair!! Congratulations on your growth. :)

[DavidN]

I'm green of envy! :DI just posted pictures of my growth, and I'm only a little bit past shoulder... I don't think I will reach that lenght in two more years, but you give me hope! Your hair is absolutely beautiful!

[Phalaenopsis]
