Aloha All,

First of all, thank you wonderful LHC! A year ago I had no idea that this forum would become a part of my life. I am also so pleased that because of this website I've had the support and encouragement and knowledge to finally get my hair past shoulder blade and that much closer to waist.

The people on this site have made me smile, laugh out loud, and cry. I've responded to threads on topics I'd never thought about and hopefully have given support/encouragement/insight to other members as I've been given.

My hair has been at 29" for this year so far, I tried no trimming in 2011, but my ends got too dry and wispy, so I trimmed about 3" off between June and July. My haircare routine is pretty simple - CO washing daily, 'pooing 2-3x a week, Caca marron & brun mix glosses, benign neglect (mostly) and micro trims. I love coconut and jojoba oil. Thanks to this site, I now have a collection of hair toys....

So, without further ado, the pics!!

May, 2001 - The hairdresser got a call saying her niece/daughter's friend (?) was arrested for shoplifting while I was in her chair. 15 minutes later I had about an 1" of hair on my head - not quite what I had in mind.....

Feb., 2010 - DBF and I on a ferry trip to another island.

Fall-ish., 2010 - ? I think this is before I began my henna dependency..., also my ends were really dry and I don't think I'd discovered coconut oil yet.

wow, your hair is lovely!! i love looking at pictures of people with hair a little longer than mine so I can try to figure out what my hair is going to look like when it gets to that length. That last picture is what I'm aiming for, so pretty!!

Congratulations on your hair anniversary! :)
Your hair looks so healthy in the last photo, and I really like those waves.

I love how much of a community LHC is, and much more than just a hair forum. It's opened my eyes to the opinions of a varied group of people, and I'm glad you're one of them. :flower:
