:cheese: Yay, I finally made it for my first anniversary. Ok, so warning I actually cut all my hair off to start again but the quality of my hair is SO amazingly improved since I first joined, not to mention all the good habits that I've picked up from being on LHC has increased my hair growth rate from about .3-.4 in a month to .5-2.5 in (yes one month my hair grew freakishly over two inches, then the next month is stalled not surprisingly).
So first of all: this was a picture taken the day before I joined the LHC: 12 Oct 2010

Admittedly brushed and pre-good habits, my hair had been crucified in 2008 by a perm, a relaxer, bleached highlights several times and dyed quite a few times, not to mention on top of it all every week or two I was curling or straightening it (yes all this happened to my poor hair in just one year, let alone all the dying and highlighting I did afterwards)
8 months later my hair's quality drastically improved from not dying or bleaching and many microtrims but it was still not 'growing' because of all the damage. My natural curls had returned happily:wannabe:. June 2011

It took a lot of debating with myself, but I finally made the decision I should have made 3 years ago and cut all the dye and damage out to start again: Sept 2011

:scissors:I cut my hair July and maintained till the dye grew out and my hair has been growing like crazy. Unlike what my hair was previously like, you can actually see that the length is longer despite the curls and waves but I don't have a good picture that shows it for the LHC because I was in my pjs in August when I did my final cut although it is in my albums. In the picture above my hair is brushed so the curls aren't evident but my hair is SO shiny and soft and not a split end or white dot in sight in the past 2 months that I haven't trimmed it. I used to not be able to go for two weeks when I first started at the LHC without having to do a microtrim or S&D. :eek:
Thank you for all the support on the LHC and with the rate my hair is currently growing at, I can't wait to share my second anniversary and see what my hair is like then :cloud9:
