6 Years Quietly Growing

**g_lou** · August 1st, 2024, 08:52 AM

(I tried to post this before so sorry mods if its a double post!)

I can't believe it's been 6 years since I joined! I haven't been very active but I'm always lurking. I think when I joined my hair was waist length and my goal was to grow to classic. Of course since then I got LHC-itis and kept on growing to knee XD I'd love to hear how everyone's goal has changed too!

Thanks for all the advice and support over the years, and I've loved seeing everyone else's journey too.
I'll pop some pictures below for anyone curious

Here I am in 2018 after I first joined!

This is in 2019 - My hair grew so fast when I first started taking care of it! I was using a lot of tricks for growth (inversion method etc.) and using all natural haircare at this time.

I just about reached my goal in 2020 and I loved it! But of course I wanted to keep going...

This is 2021 somewhere in the great expanse between classic and knee

Then in 2022, I think I was somewhere around fingertip or midthigh

I can't find a good picture from 2023... but I finally reached knee. I had a big little chop around this time too when I stopped being able to reach the ends and couldn't handle it

So here's a holiday pic from 2022 instead

And here's my hair today!! It's super humid here so I'm battling the frizz

I think I'm somewhere near terminal as my ends are getting much thinner. I prefer a blunt hemline so have been contemplating a big chop. It's just how much I'm willing to cut to decide...

Happy Growing!!

Wow, congrats on making it this far! I am reaching waist length soon/have reached it recently (I haven't properly checked yet), so seeing your post now is very inspiring

I know what you mean about terminal ends. Mine are so thin now they are barely visible!

That's some good growth and good pics too! Personally I love those wispy ends because (IMHO) they are so nice for updo styles. Congrats on 6 years, you've done a great job.
