I recently discovered a website on which you can sell your hair for hundreds, even thousands of dollars!
Since I was looking for a chop and change (if you'll excuse my pun) anyway, I decided to go for it. I posted an ad on the site just a few hours ago, and it's already got fourteen views and i've already received one email!
Posting the ad, taking photos, measuring my hair and focusing on its condition made me realize- it's my very first LHC anniversary!
This is perfect because I took some great photos for the ad today, so I can post the anni pics that we all love so much!
So it's time to post those and talk about how great LHC has been for me!
Without further ado, here is my length shot from the beginning of Sept 2011:

Two hennas, two hair sticks, one wooden comb, one silk scarf, countless bottles of conditioner, one tub of coconut oil, twelve months, and 7+ inches later, here is a length shot from today, ending August 2012!

and finally, my braid, which I love, if I may say so :)

I'm so grateful for the LHC community! I learned so many things: from natural hair care tactics such as henna, oils, and aloe; to avoiding heat styling; to simply NOT TANGLING IT IN THE SHOWER! It really is all the little things that help improve your hair's condition!
After a year with you all I was very proud to write in all of my "credentials" in my ad (No bleach, no chemical dye, no heat styling of any kind, no hair spray, mousse, gel, teasing, perming, tight ponytails, layers, gentle treatment, gets a bedtime story every night :p )
So thank you everyone who was there along the way! (Whether you know it or not- you know I was stalking all of the threads. -wink-)
