WOOW you’re pullfree is really adding up!! Congrats :D
You’re marvelous, stunning, awe-inspiring,… !!
or simply like sam said: a true inspiration.

Booooh cold. Booooh moving.

thanks guys

have had a bad day with playing, cos I am snugged up in bed (decided not to work as so full of cold would scare anyone away!!)

hair is looking pretty good now - its in OK condition - and is getting longer.

Yay for pretty hair! Boo for bad cold and wanker landlord. :/

But 8 months pull-free! Dayyum girl, you are awesome. Keep it up! :)

thanks emmy

I wish my hair was pretty - its not though - its in OK condition but just so many layers etc...I am still thinking about haircut etc - although I am thinking of waiting til its chin length (guess by march?) then getting a cutesey bob. xx

Aw I bet it's gorgeous. And trust me, my hair was in sooo many layers and now its beautiful. Hair dressers do magic.

Hehe its not that gorgeous trust me!!! Am gonna wait a bit longer for the hairdo as I want to be able to go along and for money to be no object so I want to have saved about £150 for it.....in theory I could this month but we have so much going on as well and with xmas coming up think I might wait til I get paid at the end of February as I should hopefully be in a good place for it, and another 3 months growth should make a wider array of styles available to me.

I have this terrible mushroom head now as my hair where it has regrown is really thick (I naturally have really thick wavy hair) as when I stopped pulling basically most of the top of my head was bald (except a few strands at the front) I now have 2 main layers of hair (there are other layers within from regrowth etc too) the top layer is short and thick and falls to just above my ears, then the other layer (the underside/back is longer to my shoulders) hence the lovely mushroom effect. Must take a picture and show you guys for the comic effect.

I have got one month to go until my 9 month goal is achieved and then I am looking at aiming for a year.....

was thinking in the shower today as I washed my hair about how when I was pulling and I used to think about stopping I used to calculate how long it would take me to have "normal" hair...now I don't think about that so much, i am just grateful to have hair without bald patches, tbh how it looks is something I don't think about much, I just love knowing that I can run out in the rain and no bald patches will show. And I like the soft feel of touching my head with hair there, instead of the shiny sticky feel of skin.

And I am so aware of how easy it would be to lose it all again, it would only take one slip and maybe it could take months or years to get back to here. So I am clinging on to this pull free with all my heart.

Hair growth is so slow....

I think it’s good that you truly appreciate your hair even though it might temporarily look a bit odd (layers in mushroom shape, which I think won’t look as bad as you think :p ), this will raise your motivation and awareness to keep on going. You’re a star!! It’s so amazing that your next goal is a YEAR :D

Woo, reminds me of me before my haircut. My hair was stupid looking but I did not care!! Cos it was haaaaaaiiiiiiir! Yay!!!!!!!! Enjoy washing it in the shower. Oh my gosh and being in the rain :) :) :)

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE URGES!!!!!!

that is all.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Me too!

Stupid trich!

Saw your photos and your hair looks AMAZING! Mushroom? No way! I see gorgeous hair!

Thank you accepting myself.

You know all the talk we were having about allergies a couple weeks back? well I have cleared mine up but been too scared to dye my hair again now as I think the dye is something I am allergic to. Then I read this this morning http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/nov/28/could-hair-dye-kill-you? scary stuff and last time i dyed my hair I got a lot of swelling of my face.

My whites are soooo white though - I don't want to be mousy!! Am trying my luck with coffee dying them now - will report back x

I agree, your hair is really beautiful and it looks so healthy!! :)

Wow that’s scary, I wouldn’t dye my hair with that same stuff anymore, or at least for a while…
xx

Honestly lien you would prob be fine with it, the reason I worry so much is I am an allergic person and have had milder reactions to hairdye before - but I suspect I could become more seriously allergic (I have severe nut allergies too). The coffee dying smells nice and adds a nice sheen to my hair - it helps blend in the whites although not cover them altogether.

My hair is in pretty good condition - except one area on the side which as bad split ends and very weak hair. Hoping it will improve.

Thinking about getting a chin length bob when I do pluck up the courage...what do you think? x

Your hair is beautiful, no matter what you say Mrs Kolo. I'd love to see a chin length bob. I say suggest that to hairdresser and see what they think. I'm looking for natural hair dyes also. Let me know if you find a good one! I'll do some research too.
