Keep the friends who liked you back when your haircut was a disaster. They signed up before the upgrade.

Friends made before you had anything going for you know a version of you that no later friend can reach. They were not drawn in by the result. Whatever they liked was there before the improvements, which means their opinion of you does not depend on those improvements holding. That is a kind of security you cannot build later.

Check when you last spoke to one of them. Old friendships tend to die of nothing rather than of anything, and the repair is usually one message long. Send it without an occasion and without apologizing for the gap.
