There are more pics in my album of my hair in-progress over the last year. I went from just past shoulder when I joined to about 1/2" shy of BSL, even with today's trim. I hope to go till June without another trim (except for the bangs). My hair is healthy and happy thanks to the information and hair care I got from this site. My stylist even commented on how healthy it is, it didn't even really need a trim but we removed the "little dead-ends" anyway. Thanks for looking!

Lookin' good! :) How fortunate you are to have a good stylist. We read so many horror stories.

Happy growing.

So shiney it looks like it's glowing! Great hair. Great color.

Was it all one length before? What made you decide to get bangs? (just curious)

Your hair is looking gorgeous and healthy and shiny. The stylist did a really great job and didn't take off too much.

Beautiful hair, and I love the bangs!

I got the bangs because I felt the all-one-length look was too severe on me when worn up. Since I wear my hair up 80% of the time, I thought bangs would be a good option. I wanted something that looked fun and flirty even when my hair was in a bun. I left what style of bangs up to my stylist, but I did say they needed to be long and broken-up bangs and slightly heavy. The wispy bangs and/or blunt do not work well on me. We decided that a similar bang to Zooey Deschanel would work. My daughter loves my new style, my husband said, "Hmm. It looks...different. I like it. I don't know if I like it more than what you had before though..." Men. 😉

LOVE the bangs. When I scrolled down I thought, "AUGGH! I need bangs NOW!"

You look great!

[patienceneeded]

Thank you everyone! Today my DH said he really liked the bangs, especially with my hair pulled back. So, now everyone is happy!
