Congratulations! your hair is beautiful.
Yep, three years. Technically it's on Sunday, but I just had my June trim so I thought, hey, what's a couple of days? *g*
My main issue this year has been that my hair keeps getting thinner and thinner. When I joined here my ponytail was three inches; last year a pony on the top of my head was 2.75 and side pony was 2.5, and now I'm down to 2.5 on the top and 2.25 on the side. I'm not sure why that is - sure, I'm shedding, but not a huge amount (I don't think, at least), so I'm wondering if I'm just not regrowing the hair I shed. Thinking about asking my doctor for blood tests to see if I'm low on vitamins or iron or something like that.
Anyway, pictures! First, June last year vs yesterday before my trim:
And with that I decided to retire those jeans as my length shot clothes, because they fit differently every time and I don't trust them, so ahead of my trim I did before and after shots wearing different ones:
I was less than half an inch away from my goal length of BCL before the trim, but as you can see my hairdresser (who I trust completely to only trim as much as needed) took off quite a bit. Oh well. I'll just have to grow for a while longer. My growth has definitely slowed down now, though, so for how long that will be I don't know!
Current braid length post trim:
(For comparison, around the same time last year. I miss that braid thickness.)
Best new hairdo I've learnt this year - the Jamie Leigh bun:
(This picture also goes under "Best hairtoy purchase - Lady Idun stick from the swap board.")
Best rediscovered hairdo - the knot bun with a loose tail:
And finally, best "This is why I don't wear my hair down when outside - hello, tangles!" moment:
And with that, onwards I grow towards my goal!
Congratulations! your hair is beautiful.
current length: chin/bob growing out undercut | first goal length: BSL
Congrats! I feel you on the tangles, I have the same problem, it's not fun, but your hair is beautiful!
I love your hair, it's such a nice length and colour. Good luck getting to your goal length soon. Happy anniversary!

Wow it always looks so stunning!! you are my hair length idol and its so sleek your after picture still looks so long. I would get your dr to check your blood though just to be on the safe side.

Happy Anniversary! I love the bonus style pics too
Thanks, guys!
Bunzfan, I think I will. It's frustrating for it to constantly get thinner and thinner!
Your hair is very beautiful.
