Belated First LHC Anniversary

[Sora Rose]

I would have posted this earlier, but I had a rather tough week and ended up getting to it a bit late. I've not been very active, I admit, but I've officially been on the LHC for a year now. I've gotten roughly three trims last year and none this year, and there's marked difference in my hair. They used to feel a bit like straw, and I was suffering an epidemic of split ends. I wore them down 24/7 previously and very rarely - if ever - brushed/combed.

Now they feel silky, I don't have many splits - after some constant S&D, and I wear them bunned most of the time, or braided. It seems I've grown five inches, but because of the trims it was probably more like six. I used to have a fringe that was cheekbone length, but I've since let it grow out of curiosity and haven't once trimmed it. If stretched, it now reaches collarbone length.

So, now for some pictures (I have none obviously featuring the fringe, I'm afraid).

From June 23rd last year:



And August:




This year:



And that same day:




And this is the bun I wear daily:



I'm participating in the no-trim 2018 challenge, or else I'd have trimmed off those tapering ends a bit more. I can't stand taper and plan to cut off at least an inch at the end of the year. What's also interesting is that I had brushed out my hair in the first pictures, but I hadn't in the later ones. Big texture difference. My length goal of classic hasn't changed, as I still feel my hair is much too short.

Here's to another year of growing!

Thanks! Yes, the different is surprisingly visible. I wasn't expecting it to be so changed.

Oh wow, you can 100% tell the difference - nice growth, looks really soft and really healthy at the ends too Just goes to show what a difference protecting it makes.

I can't see that much taper to be perfectly honest! You are doing great, and what amazing growth in just a year. Well done!
