It's My Two-Year CG Anniversary...

...and I didn't even notice until I saw my join date on nc.com like five minutes ago.

I must be getting old.

Here's what my hair looked like last night.

And here's what it looked like two years ago.

Woohoo...

I love your hair! It's so similar to mine. :D CG is the best! Never going back to shampoo. :) Just soap bars occasionally.

Thanks! I agree - never going back to shampoo. I have had to clarify a few times during these two years, luckily not very often. Every time I've had disastrous results! I don't know how everyone else continues to do it!

See, it is pictures like this that are convincing me to stay CG. I just started last month and I am so overwhelmed by everything, I'm using the wrong products, etc. but if I can get results like this, maybe I can stick it out and just keep trying. :)

Thanks! I think it can be really hard in the beginning, definitely overwhelming.

The best advice I was given was to start out really slow. I literally used two products - Suave conditioner and Aussie Instant Freeze gel - for about two months before I attempted another product. It was especially hard to do with all the other PJs raving about products!

Knowing your hair properties also helps a lot! I now know what products won't work for me just by scanning an ingredients list. Much easier than trial and error.

The worst part of the first month was definitely the transition phase. Lemon juice can be your friend!

If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! And good luck! :)
