Maintaining for 6.5 months - results!

**Johannah** · July 28th, 2015, 02:10 PM

In January I decided to maintain at least until July. I had damage from bleaching my hair years ago (it faded, so you can't see it anymore but off course the damage stayed

). But above all I wasn't happy with my hemline, even though all people on this forum told me it looked absolutely fine. Today I took some pictures and compared this to the ones from January, and I was shocked. In a good way. I feel so much better about my hair now!!!

I'll maintain until October, I guess the damage will be gone by then. Or maybe even longer, we'll see.

This is the result of maintaining for 6.5 months. My hair grows way faster when I cut it (I thought that was a myth?? Right??). I cut 6.5 inches (!!) since the beginning of this year. That means my hair grows +/- 1 inch I month. I live in a dream.

Also, I decided last summer I wanted to grow out a part of my bangs. My hairdresser has cut it WAAAAY too thick and too wide and it looked awful (this is also the reason why I cut my hair myself).

It looks like nothing in this picture, but in real life I swear it's a HELL LOT OF HAIR! My ponytail circumference even went from 3.4" to 3.9"!! And yes, all of this hair was cut in blunt bangs.

So... That's it. Just wanted to share because I'm happy.

OMG yes she did cut those bangs in too thick, it's more than half of your hair in front! They look so much better now. And your hem, I think the damage is pretty much gone there.

Well done!

Your hair is indeed beautiful and wow it grows A LOT, but I'm stunned by your face too *-* You are so pretty!

(I hope I don't sound like a creep)

This picture doesn't even show half of it, seriously. I was in total SHOCK when I checked my hair.

Johannah, what wonderful results you have there and your hair is not only so much improved (with that lovely fat thick hemline

) but longer as well! So pretty!

Ahhh your hemline looks soooo gorgeous!! Such a wonderful improvement! Definitely refreshes my faith in microtrimming! Not that I didn't believe in it before, having seen the results on my own hair, but seriously wow!
