So, I feel like I've been around the same length for forever now.
In 2016 after I graduated I was at ''is it kinda tailbone yet'' and I can definitely say that my hair is longer today, so that's good. But since around a year ago my length hasn't been making much progress. I was taking pics from the back and showing people and it's around the same length still. The thing is, I can say my hair grows, because when I'd put my hair on the side, pin it to my body and look where it stops at, it was exactly aligned with the end of my bum. And then, months later, it was a couple inches past it.
But the thing is, the gain in length is also tapered. Like, those inches that were surpassing my last measurement were tapered. My hair is on the thinner side and I guess the taper most people get will show even more... so I tend to just trim that taper off... I let my hair grow for six months without trimming, but yesterday I just went and probably trimmed that six months progress because it was all taper anyway. And when I say taper, I don't mean a small difference with the rest of my hair, I mean... It's like nothingness. It's like a few hairs. So I just get rid of it...
Last fall when I was looking at my hair growth I'd imagine that by now I would be at a completely different place... Yet I'm not. I've been in the ''past tailbone but not really classic yet, well kinda classic-ish when I stretch it and hold it in place, but not fully surpassing that stage with certainty yet'' stage for EVER! My hair is not at the beginning of my bum, but it's not definitly over with that stage yet. It's past the middle. But I'm wondering, will it ever finally be over with that stage? I'm not gonna say my hair doesn't grow anymore, because it does... but it doesn't keep the fresh blunt cut (the one I have today) which is normal biology-wise, but it's so tapered that I feel like for ever inch that grows, I have to just cut most of it...
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've been tryna sleep with my hair in a bun, not rubbing on anything, but the bun always undos itself. I have my hair in a bun when I'm at work and I'm at work a lot these days... and I never have my hair not attached. It's always in a braid or a ponytail.
When I stand straight and stretch my hair and manually place them on my body, it's past the middle of where it needs to be classic but not there yet. When I let go and just walk around, my hair is thin, there's not really much weight keeping it unravelled and down, so my hair just kinda sits on top of my bum and it looks like my length is only there, when in reality when I grab it and manually place it myself it's further. That's frustrating too, because I'm guessing it will take a remarkable amount of additional length for my hair to naturally cover my body and stay down on it, to/past classic. Like, even if my hair reaches that point, it will still keep being not heavy/full enough to actually visually display that it's at that point...
I feel like I'm never going to change of stage... :/ I'm going to start massaging my scalp everyday and this time stick to it to see if it helps... Other than that is there ways to avoid taper and make sure that the ends stay blunt longer?
