3 Years of Growing! [with pics]

**illicitlizard** · January 22nd, 2021, 01:20 AM

I did it, and I didn't even realise it!
Jan 17th marked the 3 year anniversary of shaving my head. I went for the big chop just to see what it was like, with the added bonus of cutting off my very overprocessed hair.

I always intended to grow it out again, and so glad that I found LHC to help stay on the straight and narrow whilst I did! Thank you for being such a helpful and supportive community from my growth obsessed first few months to now

The goods:
My hair 17 Jan 2018, early Jan 2019, early Jan 2020.

My hair now, 22 Jan 2021, 3 years of progress with a few trims in between, I'm now at just over 25"/BSL!

Will add more pics in reply.

Bonus, some of my favourite hair pics since starting to grow out!
First proper braids, first disc bun, first lazy wrap bun

Heatless curls

Braided updo

That's all, thanks for indulging me

Wow. Time flies! Really pretty hair, with a neat thick hemline! Congratulations

I love it, you have the most beautiful hair. It's grown so fast too, well done for persevering

That's amazing, such fast growth, and it looks so healthy and thick at the ends.

Congratulations! That’s amazing progress. Your hair is beautiful and, as I’ve mentioned to you before, it inspires me to keep growing.

Thank you! I know right? Seems like only yesterday I was desperately waiting to get to shoulder length!

The perseverence is much easier when this forum is here to give me excellent inspiration and the 2 week rule

Thank you! I'm surprised I could maintain so much length for sure. Trim on Jan 2nd was excellent for end thickening, not sure if I'll be able to maintain such a nice hemline once I get past waist...

Ah, thank you! Glad I can add to the pool of hair inspo, never thought I'd be there!
