Waist | Hip | BCL | Tailbone

**Venefica** · October 12th, 2010, 02:56 PM

I am currently going from waist to tail bone. I do not know how long it will take, but it is getting along nicely. I have as off yet not had to chance my routine other than adding a detangler as my hair is getting so long that it loves to wrap around anything, there is little or no damage but to protect the hair I am using a detangler. It also cut down on hair care time. My hair is growing well and I am hoping to reach tail bone in not to many months.

I found out last night that I have officially reached waist! Yay for another milestone!

I graduated the "BSL to Waist" thread so now I'm here. My next mini-goal is hip length but my ultimate goal is classic.

I am just at waist but its going to be an uphill struggle, just measured again and hip is like 36" and BCL 40" I must have a looooooong bum or something. 10" to go, will probably take 3 years for me realistically hey hum im going nowhere!

I have the same milestone inches as you do, Jojo. I've got 2" to go to hip length. I'm thinking 2-3 years with trims for me too. Have you ever looked at a tiny little petite woman and thought "geeze she only has about 4" from waist to BCL and then another 3-4" and she would be at classic. I'm tall and I have a lot of butt to cover.

Mini-milestone for me, sort of. I've been at hip for a while now, doing monthly, sometimes 2/month tiny trims of about .5 cm (less than 1/4 inch) hoping this would thicken my hemline. It is still thinner than the middle of my back, by quite a bit, but definitely thicker than it has been before at this length. Therefore, I have decided that I will not trim this month, and maybe not for a couple months, and see how it goes. I continue to do quite a lot of S&D whenever I happen to be in the car as a passenger and the light happens to be good. I'm sure this is not helping with the thinner hemline, but I know it is helping remove damage and preventing more.

The new routines are adding much more moisture than ever before, and I'm no longer stripping scales off with the plastic combs. All in all, I consider that it's making good progress. It is shinier, smoother and softer than ever before.

I think I'm finally going to start maintaining.I was hoping to reach TBL by december but honestly even if I do it wont really show thanks to my very thin hemline.
when my hair is wet i think it's about an inch past BCL,which is funny because I thought that would be tailbone but it really is not.
I wish I could cut back to waist length but then I would be same place i started my hair journey,and i would be extremly frustrated.
I'm also having extreme difficulty handling my hair recently.and I cant get my scalp clean,I dont know how.I wash twice with shampoo and shampoo bars and I just end up with gunky stuff on my scalp.
mini rant is over.

Definitly at a solid BCl now. I actually checked for the first time where my nubby tail bone is and I think I've got another 2-3 inches til official tbl.
As a bonus, I've got a 5,400km road trip around the country coming up so I'm going to be taking along my scissors and do a major SD while I'm in the passanger seat

Regrowth is at my shoulders and feeling so very soft and my old fringe that was at my eyebrows 3 years ago is now at my belly button

Slowly but steady.

Nope, that's the good thing about hair - it grows downwards!

It's all downhill from here!

Undecided about whether to trim tomorrow or not ... I just got new scissors and I would really like to keep my ends thick as I grow ... but I'm still at waist, same as I was MONTHS ago. So frustrating!

ha ha! yeah i do that and think oh to be short! its going to take me a good year to get to hip. I have just joined the no trim club but whether or not i will manage a full year, i don't know!

funny waist was my goal when i first joined and now I am there I still feel as short as I did at BSL, yet I will see somebody with BSL and think wow there hair is really long and then realise mine is longer! perception sure is a strange thing!

Good luck!
