8 months of braid progress! (pictures)

here is me about a week before i joined lhc... ive got like 6 different colors of hair... the top where it looks red is actually neon pink that never faded out completely and turned a weird red color.. my hair was still too short for a single braid so i had to do piggy tail braids... ugh i had horrible bangs that i had to wear headbands to keep out of my eyes and off my face during the summer..

here is my very first single braid.. go ahead and laugh.. you know you want to.. it was stubby and weird looking..

ok so here is my hair today... my hair is wet in the picture... i wanted to braid it today because it was cold wet all over me.. burrrr... now just a small portion of my neck/back is wet... i really miss those 2 inches i cut off earlier this month when i look at my braid.. infact i miss all 4 inches of length ive cut off since joining lhc.. imagine my braid 4 inches longer.. *squeal* i would be hip length!... oh how i wish i could have gone from shoulder to hip in 8 months but quality over quantity.. those ends were really damaged and had to be attacked by the scissors

in order to save the rest of the hair... die damage die!

Oh my goodness!

Your braid is so amazing, and shiny, and healthy!

Actually, my braid (that I found out like three weeks ago that I can do...) is looking like a hybrid between your first and recent braid...Your first braid id fine, mine were worst..expetially when I try to do it my self...now I just ask mummy. But you second braid is really pretty. And just to add..I founf that I can do two braids after I found I can single one

Wow. Your hair is gorgeous!

Believe me, my first attempts at braids were worse. Now, I can do French braids and stuff, but I still can't do a bog-standard boring ordinary plait.

yeah its only that shiny because it was wet... my hair is alot lighter than that too.. for some reason it always looks really dark when wet

Looking good SF. Don't give those 4 inches that you cut another thought. Damage often means hair breaking off so much that it won't grow longer. Your hair is obviously growing and looking very pretty too.

I have been looking at it, and (just given your comment in my braid bump topic hehe) it seems your hair is a bit thicker than mine. That helps with the looks; thinner = more bumps = looks longer

Yours looks really nice, and whoa color!
