This week is my 1 year annivrsary at LHC!

[Kelikea]

I have been trying to grow my hair out from a very layered cut back in Oct. 2009. I have had 2 cuts to even out the growth (about 6 mos apart) and then one tiny trim in Dec. 2011. I try not to trim but once a year, the rest is S&D.

Here is my starting (33.5in) pic from July 2011:

My goal when joining LHC was TB or 37inches. My longest bits are now around 38 inches! I am really feeling like a long hair now:)

Wow, I'm envious of your growth! And I love your waves. Congrats. :)

[Yozhik]

Beautiful hair -- it's certainly grown a lot, especially with trims figured in! (and curl shrinkage, too. ;))

Happy anniversary! :flowers:

[BrightEyes]

Congrats! Your hair is beautiful, I love the color and your waves are just gorgeous. You've had some really good growth too:)

[Lostsoule77]

That seems like you've had quite a bit of growth despite have 2 cuts & a trim. Good for you! I love your color too! :D

[meishkamooshka]

Congratulations on excellent growth and incredibly healthy hair! Your waves are to die for, my dear!

[Kelikea]

It seems like a lot of growth when you consider the 2 cuts, but they were before the pic taken last year, before I joined LHC. The growth pictured is just 33.5-38 inches over 1 year with 1 tiny trim. So I probably had 5 inches of growth in my 1 year since joining:)

Thanks for all the lovely hair comments! I didn't think 5 inches of growth for the year was anything spectacular, but I'm definitely happy that it is growing:) On to classic? Haven't decided yet!
