Three (or four!) monthly photo thread

**Stray_mind** · November 18th, 2017, 03:29 AM

Nice thread idea!

This is my 3 month and 5 day progress. Forgive the bad photo quality. I don't really have a good spot with good lighting.
The first pic i took on the day i rejoined the LHC and the second one is today.

I also use a hair spreadsheet, it's soo good. I love having the visual of when you're likely to reach length goals, no shame (Well, on this site anyway) :P. Looks like you've got a great start, your hair looks really healthy and thick.

Heheh I picked the dates in late August I think? So I'd just missed July's! But I figured I'd just wait anyway, because heck it! It wasn't too much of a pain to just wait lol. But I am glad I figured it out in time so that I could start 2018's photos on January 1st!

And I'll likely take photos of milestones, if I notice I hit them. I feel like those would be outliers anyway, and I'm one who would want to have it immortalized when I hit it, instead of waiting for the length shot day.

Yeah it's great! Not 100% accurate, considering variable growth, but nice to get an idea from! Like, I think I'll probably hit APL before next summer, and should definitely hit BSL before fall. And I could maybe hit waist next year if I get a couple good growth spurts! But my spreadsheet says APL in February, BSL in June, and WL in November! While I'd love that, I'm trying really hard to not see those dates as a near-guarantee (it's so hard, though! I want super long hair NOW!).

And thank you! It's starting to get a little velcro-y on the ends, though and that makes me sad! I have a hard time trimming at this length, so I'm gonna have to just deal I guess? I really need to see about getting some more deep conditioner, because I'm out!

And since I keep forgetting to do so:

Jas your hair is so lovely! It actually reminds me of my son's, and his hair is so soft.

ShilvaA your color is incredible, and I love your waves! I think your hair is basically exactly what I think of when I think of my "perfect hair". I think I'm still not over my texture being 1b even though it's been this way for ALMOST THIRTY YEARS

Andthetalltrees that's still some good and noticeable growth! And your hair is so shiny!

Stray_mind wow! That's a lot of growth! And of course your hair is amazing as always.

I love the gap for these photos, because it really drives home the length gains!

I never thought of my hair as shiny before posting pictures here haha, But many people have gave me that compliment, so I guess it is!

You are really kind! I have always wished for straighter hair, even now, especially as I have always wanted a really full hemline (like yours!) it’s crazy how we always wish for what we dont have! 1b is a wonderful texture, very good for noticing length increases too.

That is quite a bit of growth for just 3 months! You're well on your way.

It really does! As in Stray_mind's photos - hello supergrowth

And ShilvaA that's good to know that your brought your hair back to such lovely condition after bleach damage, that goes to show there's always hope

Stray_mind, that's great progress - you can really see the difference.

Corvana, I know what you mean with the spreadsheet dates - it tells me I'll have classic by next October and I'm not totally convinced about that (but hoping!). Thank you for the compliment

Yeah that is one thing I really like about my hair, it is really soft. Your hair looks really lovely and thick, can't wait to see your growth progress in January!

Edit: Oh, I thought you lot just used bold <b> to bold names but it doesn't work for me, how do you do it?

You use [b]! Or if you're on the computer you can do ctrl+b!

Yeah I'm super hopeful about it, but now that I'm more calm about my growth spurt that I thought was my normal growth rate not being my normal growth rate, I'm taking everything with a grain of salt lol.

You're welcome! I'm a little jealous of how soft his hair is, and he literally only needs to brush it for it to be so soft. I'm over here like "I need a deep conditioner, oil, and a leave-in to get near that softness a little bit, how rude."

But on the other hand, his hair tangles way more easily than mine! Pros and cons lol.

And thanks! I can't wait either ehehe. I think January's is gonna be with a towel, too, to really mark off APL.
