View Full Version : I'm officially calling knee length (+6th anniversary)!

Hi LHC! So today marks 6 years since I joined LHC. And I'm celebrating by officially declaring that I think my hair has reached knee length. =)

I've been pretty much there for a while - maybe a year or so. But it always felt a bit wobbly; there were definitely strands past knee length, but I was never sure whether there were enough ends at knee length, and I know there's debate on if curly hair "counts" when it's curled or pulled straight, and depending on how it curled they wouldn't quite reach, and so on.

Anyway, a few months ago I needed to rush out to dinner with my family right after I'd washed my hair, so I thought I'd throw it in a ponytail for the first time in a while. And then I made my poor family late for dinner because I realized, no wait, my hair is definitely hitting my knees! I tried to get photographic evidence but all the photos looked stupid. Here's one anyway:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/young_artist/Hair/20150328_202942_zpsqdgptqvr.jpg

So since then I've been trying to collect some photos to try to prove to myself whether or not I could really officially call it knee length. Here's some of those:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/young_artist/Hair/P4052971_zpsegehq2i4.jpg (this one's brushed dry)

And finally, today.
Two from immediately after washing it:

This morning:

An hour ago:

So I feel reasonably comfortable officially calling it knee length. Which is pretty exciting, because that's been my goal length since I was a little girl! Thanks LHC for being part of the journey (and if you'd rather see that, my 5th anniversary thread (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=123383) had more of a collection of journey pics). =)

The plan now is to do some form of maintenance. I do like fairy tail ends and don't want them to vanish, but a bit thicker might be nice. I'll either continue benign neglect for a while and then trim a few inches back to knee when it feels right, or maybe do some micro trims, or something.
Also I hope to take some fun hair pictures celebrating the length at some point.

So yeah. Happy to be here!

Wow! It definitely looks like knee-length to me, so congratulations! And so incredibly shiny and healthy looking, too! Plus, I'm quite jealous of those curls. :)

My holy goodness, Quixii, you hair is drop dead gorgeous, I've always admired it.

Congratulations on making it to knee, which is a rather ambitious goal!
And I would actually say it's mid calf, counting from the very ends.

Congratulations, Quixii!

I remember when we were trying to find you at the Mountain View meet last year. I remember seeing a person walk by with fantastic hair. Afterwards, I realized that the person could only be you. :)

Wow! Stunning! :thudpile: Congratulations on your anniversary, but I don't think your hair is knee length - I think it's calf length! :D :cheer: :joy:

Yes, congratulations!!! Quixii, I first saw you at the first LHC meet you went to, at San Jose's Rose Garden, and your hair has grown so much since then. I agree with jel that it's upper-calf length. It's also some of the most amazing long hair I've ever seen. You are taking such good care of it!

Benign neglect FTW! You have been past knee-length for some time now (you're probably the most patient person to have called "knee!"). Your hair is glorious.

I know that some people would have called knee a while ago, but I just wanted to make sure it was really unambiguous that it was at least knee.
