Waist | Hip | BCL | Tailbone

[HildeMV]

I took me almost a year to reach TBL, which was my initial goal but I want it to be TBL when it's in braidwaves too(eats a lot of length) So I guess classic?

I'm contemplating cutting it a little to even out the hem and remove some damage. It's kind of weird, looking at the hairs up close they don't look damaged and no split ends but from afar it kind of looks it. Meh.

So, May 1st, 39,5“... Oooh, I hoped so much to get to 40“ for the spring! I grew only one inch in two months!

May 2010 measure-in: 39,5“! Hey, that's just 0,5“ from the fantastic fourties! Summer and the fast growing months are coming, so I'll be there in absolutely NO TIME! wohooooo!

Does anyone else feel this is a sort of in-between length, not yet the awesome fairytale look of classic and past that, and already too long to pass unnoticed around everyday? I get frustrated, sometimes, thinking that while I do have to take precautions and longhair-tricks, my hair is not really *long* (nor does it seem as it will ever be)...

I only feel it's in between because it's not short as it used to be anymore, but yet not there yet. I guess it would be it for me when my hair does a touchdown on my behind. I'm super close to it when my hair is not overly curly.

Just wanted to volunteer that I am loving this length...I am somewhere right between hip and upper tailbone at 34.5 inches, and I LOVE having hair this long! I can't wait to see if I like longer lengths as much.

(And yes, in a way this feels "in between" because I am so much longer than I was when I started out here last year, but still quite far away from classic and the truly long lengths...but I'm focusing on enjoying having hair longer than *I* have ever had it, and for me this is really long!)

Yay, getting closer to hip (and thus closer to tailbone *g*):

"curly" (and still a bit wet):

Both pics clickable.
The shirts are where hip would be.

ETA: I think at this point it starts so feel a little bit long to me, but not really long... I assume it's because hip is the longest my hair was when I was a kid. And as a kid I never really felt like I had long hair, even though everyone said it to me. *g*
So: Jep, definitely a in-between length.

Wow Yeesha, your hair is so beautiful! Such lovely shiny waves!

[Yeesha]

Thank you very much, Locksmith!

I´m still not totally convinced this is the general concensus at LHC on the placing of tailbone.
BSL moved higher up:

I'm a bit late to the party, but I agree with your placement of tailbone. The general LHC consensus, however, seems (at least to me) to be that tailbone is higher up, roughly where your BCL marker is. By the way, I'd put hip a little bit higher, at the very top edge of the bone.

If hip is this high up, the stretch between waist and hip is really short on me. Maybe half of what you see in this picture.

Her we go:

Idun, we are all built differently. Hip is VERY close to waist on me too, I got there so fast I didn't realize it until I was actually almost BCL. Some people do have a while to go between waist and hip lengths. It's like BSL and waist - for some it rather close by, for me it was so long I decided to use the evasive 'midback' marker as halfway between BSL and waist on me.

BTW, that's quite a good picture, and I sure it could help newbies alot, even though the 'model' doesn't stand straight which skews the proportions a little bit. I'd also add 'calf' and 'ankle' lengths.
