The Mini-Milestone Thread

[WaitingSoLong]

realized my ponytail has become long enough to double back over my shoulder so that the ends are chin length and will get wet! I'll have to start bunning from now on. Wooots!

I hate this. I bun usually but in the mornings when I am brushing my teeth I have my hair in a sleep braid. I am waiting for it to be SO long, it cannot get into the sink and get toothpaste on it. I always just hold my hair out to the side and do everything one handed. Esp. when it is loose.

Sometimes I pull it through the headband (it is actually a sweatband) doubled so it cannot fall into my face. It is these things that make me want to cut my hair sometimes.

I do not even know what my next mini-milestone would be? Getting it in the toilet when I sit? lol.

*Not trimming for six months

*When I did cut, getting rid of MOST of my long layers.

*Feeling shorn after cutting off 1 inch! (1.5 off my longest, straggliest back part)

*No chemical dyes for almost 15 months!

Styling milestone: I figured out a Dutch braid! Next up: rope braids.

I did it!! I did it!! I did it!! My first Lazy Wrap Bun!!!

Why is this such a big mini milestone for me? Because my hair is long enough to finally do the Lazy Wrap Bun and I was finally able to figure out the instructions to do it left-handed. Yippeeeeee!!!

Thank you, Freckles!! I'm SO happy about this (now I have a repertoire of THREE bun styles instead of just two--woohoo!!!).

My first LHC mini-milestone! Three weeks ago my hair had finally become long enough to put it up in a single claw clip. That clip is now too small!

Is it weird that I can do this without leaning my head back, and it's not even chin length yet? I feel like a pretzel...

But I did have a mini-milestone too recently ... full ear coverage!

Hrrmm, I just tried that reaching back and touching hair, and I can do it at chin length. I'm a pretzel apparently.

Also a related milestone that I just realized - SQUEE!!! My hair when loose is in fact longer than my big 1 1/2" CBRs I have in my bottom lobes. It may have been for a while, but until I saw it posted I didn't even think about it.

And in another related milestone - tho encouragement for hair breakage - hair is now long enough to thread itself thru CBRs in ear and then not annoy my lobes, so I then remove it. Now it stays until *ow* I yank it by mistake.

And my final milestone for now - I now will say I have chin length hair instead of *almost*, *nearly* or *pretending to be* chin length. I figure I can count the vast majority vs the two itty bitty segments that like to break. Most is chin or just past. Two segments are squeaking in. I'm going with 98% right.

Edit - SEE, proof! I'm at chin length, I'm at chin length!!!!! My hair is in better condition than the quality of photos I get, but oh well.

me and my boyfriend always play-fight, and the other day, while playing, he picked up my braid to hit me with it. It's long enough that it occurred to him it can be used as a weapon!

After I washed, I had it out drying whilst cleaning up and it got caught under my armpit!
