I had my husband help me measure my hair, and I am finally at 20 inches!! Yay!
:cheese:

Granted, I'm still pretty far from my goal, BUT, I feel so much closer now that I'm finally in the 20s! I had started growing it out right after I cut it halfway between my shoulder and chin (maybe 14.5") in January. It didn't take long to realize that was a really stupid mistake. (Yes I thought about it over 2 weeks, but it was still something I regret.)

I think I was at about 24 inches when I cut, so it feels really great to be in the same area as when I started. Just thought I'd announce it!! :p

Great! Yes, 20" sounds like so much more than 19", somehow :) And it looks really nice from your avatar.

Pictures?!

Yea! And yesterday I got a bun up and it didn't all spill out. I couldn't even get it to do that last year, when I had BSL hair. But it was really layered... Of course, it is now too. I guess I'm just practicing more :)

Your hair is beautiful! Congrats on growing 20"! Just think of the fact that cutting your hair as you did only encouraged it to grow so beautifully! :)

Thanks for the compliments :o

The style in my avatar is just two buns offset from each other with a hair stick in each one. The hair spills out from all the layers, but that pic is maybe six weeks old so I think I could get it neater now. Can't wait to do more fun stuff with it!

Wait for me! I'm right behind you at just barely 19". I can imagine 20" seems very long, I can't wait to get there myself!
Enjoy your new growth.
