A year and half of progress...

[EmmaDStrange]

... and all I had to do was just leave it alone! So after just over 1 year and 6 months of ignoring(ish) my hair, it has grown dramatically. My goal is tbl, and obviously I'm not there yet, but I have now met my short term goal of wl. Onwards and upwards! If only my real colour would grow out and I could chop off all the crazy faded blackish orangish brown. :p

Beautiful hair, awesome progress, but that's not Waist, that's HIP!! You are much closer to TBL than you think. Congratulations! :D

Your hair is beautiful and the progress is astonishing. You're almost to your goal. Your hair has inspired a lot of us to grow and to never give up.

Yes, I started, roughly 2 years ago with hair between APL and BSL, it was the last time I had it cut. I have since then dyed, fried and killed my hair so it is in fairly bad condition from maybe top of my ears down (orange isn't my natural colour haha) But the growth rate has amazed me, here is a slightly better pictures, would you guys really say I'm hip length?

I think I will be cutting it back up to waist length fairly soon, to minimise the taper, which is left over from the layered cut I had 2 years ago, and the split ends from dying/bleaching. I am amazed at how thick my hair actually is, despite being very fine and straight. When I get a blunt cut, I think it might look even thicker. :)
Thanks for the compliments guys! :D

You look to be just hip, I think that's a fantastic plan but then I am rather trim happy :lol: it will look fantastically thick if you chop back to waist I vote dooo iiit.
