Thanks for explaining. I didn't know DIY trims were possible via pony-tailing. I'm skittish though, because the first time I tried my now-normal "center-part to the nape, comb forward and cut" method, I gave myself this severe V that I still have.
Lots of people seem to like my color. It's a mix of natural gray, very light blonde dye, and adjusting photo levels in an app so I can clearly see blouse prints and belt loops as background progress markers. I didn't use my normal floral blouse last time because my hair is now past the print pattern. YAY that! I keep thinking of re-adding some golden to my color, but a lotta the beach models I use as Hair Insp have that gray thing which is kinda in style the last few years. So I can be gray without seeming as old in comparison to those horrible evil beach models who obviously make deals with Satan just so they can look like that.
LHC will def make one obsess. But haven't you been through the super long hair growth a couple times? It seems to be newbies like me who obsess the worst, counting every new body marker or blouse print that our hair reaches. I wonder if the Been There Done That crowd just rolls their eyes.... "<harrumph> Kids!"
Thanks. I owe it all to my coconut/avocado/olive oil masking. My hair starts badly breaking if I neglect that for only about 2 weeks, so I'll be masking for life. I always wanted loooong hair but didn't know how much care some of us need to give it. I don't plan on cutting it unless one side of it loses an argument to a candle, or something.
Regular measurements will tell you for sure. I suspect most stalls are in our heads rather than our scalps.
Agreed.
From CBL to WL is a long stretch of lonely frustrating highway (esp when you're 6'2"), but I've found that at waist, things happen faster. First it's reaching the inside of my elbows in the mirror, then it's touching my forearms when I sit, now it's wrapping around my forearms, and soon it will touch my navel and then my lap. Fortunately my goal is ~BCL-TBL, so I'll spare myself those long lonely frustrating stretches that come after CL.
