Sugaree--Thanks! Yeah, Tare
Panda is super cute. It's kind of embarrassing, but a couple of years
ago I bought a bunch of Tare Panda address labels from an eBay seller.
Sunsailing--Whoa, it looks like you've made a lot of progress since you started growing! Your hair looks really good!
Dave--Thank you! I guess it has grown a lot in two years, but it sure doesn't feel like it sometimes. hahaha
Sorry for not replying/commenting
sooner, but I was out of town for a week and have been easing back into
posting on all the forums I belong to.
Thanks for the positive comments. My hair does have a natural wave/curl. I just don't have time to let it completely dry every time I wash it, so I usually use a dryer after it air dries for about 45 minutes...that makes it straight. Every once in a while I help the curls.

Wow,Sunsailing! Your hair is the most beautiful colour! Do you alter your wave formation or does it just depend on time between washes? It looks great both straight and wavy!
Wow Sunsailing, nice collection of shiny pics! It looks very wavy sometimes and very straight others, is that your natural wave and you straighten it? Looks great both ways!
Its nice to see everyone's photos, everyone's hair looks great!

That's an amazing collection of pics, Sunsailing! Your hair appears to be so thick!
And thank you too, Juri, for your progress pics. You've come a long way in just 2 years!
You are so right, Katja. Split ends galore, here too.
S&D sessions are like a field day. Everywhere I look, there
are split ends. My S&D process is complicated due to the
extent of my hair's natural taper; I have to search 3+ feet of hair for
splits.
Thought I'd post a "growing out" picture too. I began growing back in the Fall of 2000, but I don't have any pictures from then. I compiled the pictures below a few of years ago, thus it doesn't include the past few years (If I ever have some spare time, I could include more recent pictures.)
What everyone is saying about split ends is true. You may not see them in the pictures, but we've all got 'em, myself included. Don't feel bad, Holly!!

Jennifer has a ton of split ends too. They don't show up in pictures unless the macro setting would be used to really zoom in. Her hair gets tangled all the time at the ends. We did cut a bunch of the damage off, but there's still lots more there. We figure she'll let it grow to the length she wants with as little damage as possible and then start whacking off the damage with trims as she keeps the length. What you're experiencing, letmecount123, may be the same many of us experience (and nobody sees I might add) as hair is growing and trims are kept to a minimum. Your hair really looks great, so I hope you aren't going to let somebody go crazy with scissors.
BTW, the hair companies are just pounding the door off the hinges all the time, but I scare them away by squirting them with my squeeze bottle of conditioner ... hahaha.
Sugaree--You're welcome! Your
hair must have looked quite neat back then. I tried Punky Color on my
hair in the 8th grade, but I didn't know about bleaching hair, so it
didn't take.
Tdouty--You're welcome! Jennifer's hair is super! She must take really good care of it.
Katja--It looks like you've made a lot of progress since you started growing out your hair!
Um, as for my own hair, my sig pic shows some of the stages my hair has
been in since I started to grow it. The second picture is from the
short period of time when I had fuchsia colored hair. Since I had gone
to the trouble of getting it bleached, I had intended to keep my hair
anime colored for a while, but I got tired of the dye rubbing off on
everything, so that look only lasted three months.

I can't believe how fast everyone's hair grows... wow.
And it's so shiny.
tdouty - Careful, the hair companies might come after Jennifer to do their commercials and snatch her away...
Katja - that's really weird to see your hair all different lengths and colours...
Everybody here's so supportive and seeing all these pictures is kind of inspirational for someone who has the worst problem with split ends...they're getting taken care of next week and then I can start with not so dry nasty hair...

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!
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!
