I’ve bought a new dress
Hair progress!
February 2013. Need this for history, because tomorrow I’m going to the hair salon for the first time in two years. I finally can and want to feel my hair being cut off and styled.
P.S. Please disregard the background… the outfit… well, please disregard everything in this photo, OK?
Wow, now I can see hair definitely IS growing!
P.S. Sorry for spaming you with my face, I’m just having a super self-positive day today ;)
Can’t tell if thighs are fat or OK, but I love this stupid photo :)
And, as usual, look at the hair, look at the hair!
Hair Progress! April 2012: finally touching my shoulders! When in the shower and wet, hair goes well behind the shoulders, but once dried they curl up and take kess length but more… width :)
Can’t wait till it’s back down to my waist as I used to have!
I’m showing these photos now to prove that I’m stronger than my fears. Also it might help other girls in the same situation, so if you are reading this and know anybody who might be interested, feel free to link this to them.
I feel it’s necessary to explain my little obsession with hair and why I track its growth even more meticulously than I log my calories.
