Well...I've been posting on the board from time to time since march this year, but never really showed a pic of my hair. So I FINALLY decided to post a pic of my progress, even tho the quality is really bad..but I guess it's better than nothing lol...
So here it is...it's not a lot of hair for 14 months, but I guess that curls tend to hide the lenght. I also noticed that the hair at the back is a LOT curlier than the hair that grows from the top. Do you guys think that's normal ? Also, I don't have this V-shape kind of hair at the back and that's weird because I never trimmed it there(only trimmed the bangs once because of split ends). So that's about it for now...any comments are always appreciated
The change in curliness I'd say is completely normal. Your hair is not necessarily going to be uniform throughout. As for the v-shape, in my experience that shows up more with straight to somewhat wavy hair. Yours is pretty curly, and that changes the way it hangs.
But overall, it looks pretty good to me. Best of luck with your continued growth.
Thanks, JSFrodo. Your explanation makes pretty good sense. I really like the V-shape kind of hair, but for now my only goal is to grow my hair long.
Thanks for writing !

I have very straight hair, but in the back I also have a wave or two. Then again every person who has cut my hair says i have the strangest hair line and pattern they've ever seen. I've noticed quite a few people whose hair was more curly in the back however. As for the V I think that the straighter your hair, the more noticeable it is. My cousin has very curly hair and when he grew it out I never noticed a V.
Yeah..I think you're right. But just of curiosity...how long is your cousin's hair ? And how long did it took him to grow it that long ?
Thanks !
Luben
My cousin's hair was a little below shoulder length. I'm not sure how long it would be without all the curls. I'd say he grew it for about 18 months. The first 6 was just being lazy in college, the next year was as a bet with his friends. Unfortunately he cut it all off and sports what amounts to basicly a buzz cut now. I'm going to be visiting him in SC in a couple weeks, I'll see if I can't find a pic of him with the long hair while I'm up that way.
from what I can see your off to a good start. As you may
have read here curly hair seems to grow slower although it
grows at normal rates. So keep on growing and have patients.

"...and have patients."
By growing out my hair, I earned myself both patience and patients nearby, if you know what I mean.
Since a small kid I've been really bad at being patient. I wanted everything right away. I wanted some things soo bad, that I just couldn't wait at all(most of them were toys..haha). And I finally feel that I have atleast a little bit of patience and that's only because of the desicion to grow my hair. I guess good things come to those who wait..

Thanks Kevin ! Yes..it does seem that it isn't growing at all. But I have some friends that I hang out with only once in 2-3 months, and everytime they see me they say my hair is longer...so I guess you're right. Petience is the key !
Thanks for writing !
Luben
dude.. I like how it looks... hope i get there at 14 too. I dont know but ur curls look a bit like mine..or mine like urs, since ur senior to me in this deal, ill tell u when i make it there..by now im halfway where u are at 7months but just writing to tell u I love curly hair and those big curls are a blast!
Thanks man ! I also recently started to like curly hair, last year I used to straighten it, because it looked like cr*p, but that only caused damage, so NEVER straighten yours, not even once. Just let your hair grow man, don't trim it and I'm sure you'll get the best results !
Luben
Looking good! and you were right. Your hair looks very similiar to mine. Awesome :)
Thanks a lot, Adam ! Yeah...It's really nice to see that someone has similar hair type to yours, even on this board, because I don't think I ever saw someone with curly hair as mine where I live...Lol
Thanks for writing and I'm really looking forward to your next update !

Hey mark. Thanks for writing ! Seeing the lenght of your hair is a true inspiration, and I don't think I'll have a trim for atleast...let's say 2 years Lol
Cheers !
Luben
Nice curls, man
Ive always wished that I had wavy hair...
Ohh well, atleast I can braid it and somewhat have them
Thanks Jarvis !
Well, sometimes I wish I had straight hair, and I used to straighten mine last year, but later I realised that keepin it natural always looks best...
Thank you ! I really hope I'll have such a long and fabulous hair as yours, when I'm your age ! I really don't want to go bald..Lol

Hi Luben,
Thank you for sharing your outstanding update with us, and your thick and healthy curls are truly awesome. You have made wonderful progress for 14 months. Although curly hair may take a little longer to show length, the rewards are definitely worth it!
Keep it growing,
David
Thanks, David !
Sometimes I wish I had beautiful and shiny straight locks like yours, but still I'm happy with my hair. And I'm sure i'll be a lot happier when it grows longer.
I'll definately Do keep it growing !
Thanks for writing !

Hi. You got lots of curls. Your hair has more curls than mine and my hair is quite curly. The hair appears straight near the scalp, but away from the scalp, it becomes quite curly. I also had an issue about curls hiding length, since my hair appeared to grow slowly but I came to admire the curls since it adds character to ones hair.
Matthew
Hey Matt ! I saw some of your previous update, and I have to say that we have similar hair types, even tho my is curlier. Your hair looks fantastic, and I hope mine will look as fabulous as yours when it grows longer !
Thanks for writing !
Luben
Welcome and thanks for the update......those are absolutely beautiful, thick and healthy curls. Personally, I would not do anything but let them grown......length and gravity will do the rest.
Thanks for Sharing !

Thank you Walter ! And yes..I won't do anything to them...hopefully after 6-7months i'll finally start to notice some length !
Thanks for writing !
Luben
Very nice Luben, Keep it growin'!
