When I first started out on this site:
February 2011
Around BSL and 27 inches.

Then a few months later:
August 2011
Showing off my new barrette. :)

Then the attempt at using the striped shirt method:
October 2011 6 Months at LHC

March 2012: 1 Year at LHC
Complete with weird bun wave thing.

My October 2012 length shot is lost. :(

March 2013: 2 Years at LHC
The curl is just from me twirling the ends as my hair dried.

October 2013: 2.5 Years at LHC
Baaaaaarely touching Tailbone Length while wet!!!

And now today!
February 2014: 3 YEARS AT LHC!!!
Tailbone Length achieved (now a bit past TBL), currently 41 inches long and only a few more inches until the much anticipated Classic Length(estimated to be 45 inches on me)!
http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j388/kme81/ba66172b-0ed6-4f66-849d-32b0725511f7_zps945a75bb.jpg (http://s1083.photobucket.com/user/kme81/media/ba66172b-0ed6-4f66-849d-32b0725511f7_zps945a75bb.jpg.html)










Thanks for all the tips and advice LHC, it has been a great three years!


Edit: Extra info on how much I trimmed off in post #31! Thanks!

Is that really tailbone length? It looks like you reached TB in March 2013 to me and that you're now at classic. Of course, I don't know where *your* tailbone is. Either way, your hair is absolutely stunning!

Haha, the "end" of my tailbone is low and I have a rather -ahhem- rotund backside that blocks classic, so it takes me awhile! :D
Oh, and I think my skirt wearing may make it harder to see. :(

Wow, wow, wow! Thank you all so much for the compliments!!! (this thread ought to keep my ego happy for a year! ;))

Wow, beautiful! I'm also curious as to how much you trimmed during the three years.

It is hard to say how much I cut off. I probably cut off a total of about 5 inches, but I didn't keep strict track. I usually get around an inch trimmed off every year to get rid of splits and, more recently, to enhance the u-shaped hemline. I've also been micro-trimming once a month for the past year or so because I wanted to thicken up my hemline a bit, yet still allow it to grow. My hair seems to grow around 6-7 inches a year, but according to my current length(41) minus my old length(27) equals 14. 14/3 years equals 4.67 inches growth per year, so I've been cutting off an average of at least 1.5 inches per year. Hmm, I've never thought about it in this much depth before! Interesting.

Ditto.

Looks like it was TBL in March 2013 (or soon thereafter) and is nearly classic now.

Either way, EXCELLENT progress!

Haha, I should probably post a length picture where I'm wearing jeans, I'm wearing skirts in every one of my length shots. I think the skirts may make my anatomy a little misleading in photos. :) I measure Tailbone Length as the "end" of my tailbone, maybe that is not the norm on here?

Monkshood
March 2nd, 2014, 12:42 AM
That could be it. The tailbone is at the end of your spine, so it pretty much starts where it ends. Mine is smack at the beginning of my intergluteal cleft ("butt crack").

I already thought of classic when I saw the TBL picture. Are you sure you're not classic yet? In any case, gorgeous blonde hair, and well done for 3 years worth of growth! :)

Nope, definitely not classic. :) I'm not sitting on my hair, nor is it down to the bottom of my bottom. ;) Thanks for the compliment, though!
