(Pics) UPDATE for "Trim/Cut It Until It's Even" Challenge

Hi Ladies. :wave:
I know this update to the "Trim/Cut It Until It's Even" Challenge 2006 is long overdue, but here it is. See, Victorious. I told ya I would update next touchup. :angel:


For those that don't know or forgot here is what my nape looked like in Feb. 2005 a few months after I joined the forum. This was really a problem because the rest of my hair was much longer than this. It was very difficult to wear my hair down so I did protective styles.

------------------------------------------------

Instead of growing my hair to my ultimate goal (armpit length) I decided to trim the rest of my hair until the back caught up. That is why I started the challenge for 2006.

The other areas (front and top) would have been at armpit length already, but it all looked very thin. Here is what my hair looked like in May 2006 during the challenge. It was lightly flatironed and actually longer than it appears, but you can see the difference between the back and the rest. I had already started cutting back on the rest of my hair, but I wasn't ready to even it up yet. I continued wearing my bun.

I don't have a good overall picture of my hair in August, but here is what the back looked like after a touch up. Still not completely even so I wore it down for about a week and put it back up in a bun.

***I had another touch up in November, but I didn't take any photos. :eek: My old camera broke. :ohwell: Anyways my hair was completely evened out that touch up. I was so relieved. I actually wore my hair down for three weeks. Then I went back to my bun.*** :p

------------------------------------------------


Fast forward to today. I've got a new camera so I can show off my nape progress and my even hair!
