I think you have the most lovely hair I've ever seen. It's gorgeous! Your
pics are definatly inspirational. By the look of your hair progress photos it
seems to grow very fast! Is your hair all one length? I just cut my hair to
my shoulders in October and I'm aiming for waist length (for now). I cut it
to get rid of the layers because I think it will look better long at one
length. Do you have any fringe?
Sugaree, you made my day! My hair can be described as extremely tapered. I had fringe, but because I've cut a total of 2 cm maximum since mid-2003, the rest of it has "fuzzed": everything grew in and shedded at different rates, so I just have a big gradient of random hair. The shortest natural layers are about eyeball length, ranging all the way down to hip length. It almost looks like I've never cut it. I still search and snip for individual split ends though.
tdouty...thanks for all those pics!! Doesn't Jennifer have a lovely smile? I really like the look of her ends right now, nice and neat/blunt. I am aiming for a blunt ended look when my hair is long too.
Anais, I think it's great that you have not had to do any drastic cuts in all that time. Well done! I hope I can go for a couple of years without trimming (well, at least for the next 12 months). How much does your hair grow in one month? Based on your answer, I could visualise my hair in 12 months I think (it grows 3/4 inch per month).
Ohhhh I totally forgot to comment on Jennifer's hair. That was insensitive of me. I went to page 2 and got carried away. Jennifer's hair is getting more and more gorgeous. And she looks so young too!
I'll be sure to show her all your wonderful comments today at
lunch. We did cut a few inches off there a month or two ago, but
we like the look now. Also, without intending to do so, we
removed the rest of her layers from a cut she had done 2 years
ago. Her hair should look terrific when it's waist-length.
Thanks for the compliments.

tdouty, are you Jennifer's boyfriend/husband? ( I know I've seen a
wedding pic on here somewhere...) I find it really sweet that you take a
genuine interest in you wife's hair!
Anais, you definatly my longhair idol! (I use the word "idol" in a loose and
non-obsessive kind of way - I just couldn't think of a better term) I
believe we have similar hairtype and color ( I just went to Fia's Hair
Classifing and determined that I am 1c M iii - about 4" 3/8 around) so in
the future if my hair looks half as good as your's does, I'll be sastisfied.

Sugaree: Yes I am her boyfriend .. well slightly more than
boyfriend. The picture of her in a wedding gown was from a day we
were playing around with a couple wedding gowns she had laying in the
attic. I thought she looked great in them so we took some
photos. I'm not sure how a guy could not take an interest in his
lady's long hair ... it's very sensual, romantic and sexy at the same
time. We get a lot of enjoyment out of the time we spend together
while I brush or wash her hair. I know it's each to his/her own,
but I do enjoy long hair on a woman and am quite open about it. I
post here since I have more computer time at my disposal and then show
her all the interesting things that are posted. We've learned a
lot from this forum.

tdouty, that - is ; - awsome. My boyfriend prefers long hair, but
sometimes I wonder if recognizes all the hard work it takes to mantain it,
it sounds like you do! Good for you, seriously, you're awsome.

Well, I didn't realize how hard it was to keep long hair looking healthy. I always thought you just washed it every-other day or so and that was that. It does take more attention than that, but I love it and I'm up for the challenge ;-). Now, I just hope my head will fit through the door tonight when I want to leave. Thanks for your kind words.

Here are a couple of pictures I found of myself to show my hair, not
enough to make a good progressive log, but just to get myself out there.
this is me last year around this time...I did a little curl on the bottom
which looked nice I thought...
this is not too long after that... maybe like january 2004 with the straight
look...
this is in June of 2004, it doesn't seem like it was ever much longer than
this, but it must have been because I didn't do the BIG CHOP until October
This is the most recent pic I have of my latest hair do, which was taken
about 2 weeks ago. it's not a very good picture as far as seeing my hair
but if you could use your imagination, the length is a little above the
shoulder
I'll have better pictures up soon, as soon as I get that digital camera I
asked for for Xmas....he he he
Thanx Juri! I used to dye it every color of the rainbow! ( I mean like,
green, blue, purple ect.) From 7th grade until the end of highschool I had
hair that wasn't my natural color...I don't know why, I always thought my
color was boring. Then a couple years ago I let it all grow out and now I'm
back to my real color and I love it! Go figure.
wow, you're like me...kind of. I'm desperate to dye my hair really
unnatural colours and I spent most of last year trying to dye my hair
purple with non permanent dyes. Unfortunately, it would damage myb hair
really badly so I won't dye it. Be an 80 year old granny with pink
hair...

Holly, Anais, tdouty, LadyFrog, missrini, and sugaree: Your hair is collectively beautiful!!!! Long, short, transitioning... every pic looks so healthy and shiny!
You've all inspired me to make a hair portfolio of my own:
...I know some of those are bad quality, but you get the idea. The white horizontal lines on some of the pictures are to show the "body markers" my hair fell to at the time of the picture when I was standing/sitting up straight (since I'm leaning in a lot of them). Hope you can all see them!
Keep up the great growth, everyone!

Anais! I hadn't seen your pictures when I first posted in this
thread (for some reason, the pics didn't show). Wow! Your
hair has grown so fast and it's so pretty!
Tdouty/Jennifer, Sugareee, and Katja, thank you all for sharing your
pictures as well! I'd say the passage of time (and application of
gentle care) has all done your hair good!
