Knee length by Christmas 2020!

[TatsuOni]

I should be able to reach knee by Christmas 2020. Anyone else? :)

[AmaryllisRed]

I'm surprised this thread doesn't already exist!
Yep, this is my goal, assuming I don't go stir-crazy and trim. By Christmas 2020 that will be four years without so much as a dusting.... so we'll see. But I really want to grow to knee before cutting back.

Welcome! :) I'm hoping to reach it, if I keep my trimming to a minimum :)

[Cg]

I won't make it unless I have my legs surgically shortened, but good luck to all who could manage it.

Thank you and you better keep your legs :p

[TatsuOni]

Here's what I'm starting with and I really hope that I'll be able to reach knee by the end of the year.

I haven't measured yet how far I'm from knee, but I hope to make it :p

[Zesty]

I'll be cheering you on, Tatsu! I'm planning to take a rather leisurely stroll to knee, if I even ever get there, but I hope you make it! If I do reach it, it'll probably be more like the end of 2021. :) I think you can do it though!

[Cg]

It does look like knee is attainable for you this year, Tatsu. Count me in your cheering section. :cheer:

[AmaryllisRed]

Looks totally doable, Tatsu! As usual, I have hemline envy! :)
I should take a length pic at some point and post here. I'm still on track to get there some time this summer if I don't trim and could even trim and still get there by December. (Assuming my growth rate doesn't slow but it seems to be pretty consistent over the years.)

I haven't decided if I'll trim one more time this year or not... I'll decide that in six months :p

[zashin66]

I would love to join. I'm think it will be a hard goal but I'd like to try. I've got grabby ends and might need some dusting. Plus my hem line is looking a little strange. But i think i need a hair goal this year that makes me work hard on the hair. I sort of coasted through 2019. So if you will have me, i will join you.

I think I will join you all here. I'm about three inches from knee, so I think I'll realistically be there by Christmas if not earlier. I've been struggling with increased splits and breakage ever since I hit FTL though, so a small trim is probably in my future. Once I hit knee I will probably maintain there for a while to work on growing out the damage. I used to use heat a lot, and I think my ends are old enough that the damage is starting to show. https://forums.longhaircommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39823&d=1578720008

I have been having trouble at the ends too. I wonder if it is because it gets caught under me all the time. I have been thinking that must be it. The ends seem thinner to me. But it is so hard to really tell since I can't watch myself and actually see my habits for myself. I don't live with anyone i could really discuss something like this with. They would think me nuts or hair obsessed. (Ok truth, but still i do try to fit in with normal somewhat lol)

Can i come stand in your corner? My hemline is messed up on the sides. I was so disgusted a few weeks ago that i grabbed the straggler ends in the middle and cut them off. Then people were commenting that it looked nice and straight. I think my hair grows unevenly. Sigh.......

I feel like I look so much farther from knee than you guys.
Wet, it feels so much closer. So much shrinkage. Oh, well.
I'll probably get there wet by the end of summer and maybe dry and unstretched by the end of the year.

[Reyn127]

Hmmm.... I think I may join this thread, as it looks like I may be pretty close to knee around Christmas, as well. My milestones beyond classic length were never measured with the greatest care, so I don't know exactly how much length I need to gain, but I think it will be close if I don't get too trim-happy this year. We'll see how that goes though, because my ends have been bothering me a bit lately....

Anyway, picture time! Knee length is just beyond the bottom of the picture here.

We're halfway through 2020 now. How are you doing?

I measured my hair yesterday. Or rather my SO did and I've managed to measure where knee is.

https://cdn3.cdnme.se/1263465/9-3/mobiluppladdning_5efed0082a6b222832eaa459.jpg
I'm at 124 cm and knee is around 130 cm. So it looks as if I can make it "in time" :)

[AmaryllisRed]

You're looking right on track, Tatsu!

I should take an updated length shot. I will probably gain 4" or so between now and the end of the year. That's probably enough to get to knee in the shower but dry and unstretched probably won't happen until next year.

Sadly, I most likely will not. I'm already there dripping wet, but I call milestones dry and stretched. By that method I'm probably a couple of inches away still. Oh, well. I'll make it by the end of spring. :)

If the ends would behave, at least a few more hairs would be there. So yeah, I'm going to call knee now even if it's just the reacers! :D

[Bat]

Congrats! What will be your next goal?

[AmaryllisRed]

Congrats, Tatsu! That's absolutely there, 100%! Onto calf?

Side note: doesn't a person's calf basically begin right below the knee? So a person could call calf pretty soon after calling knee. Not mid-calf, obviously, but top-of-the-calf.

Thank you so much everyone! :flower:

It sure is a big milestone for me!

My original goal was mid thigh :p I would love to grow to ankle, but we will see how long I can grow. For now I will continue growing a bit more slow with microtrims. I want to grow longer, but I also want a thicker hemline again :)

I'd say that calf is calf, as soon as the hair reaches the calf. So I'm at upper calf, but will call it knee for now. As I said I will microtrim, so it will be a slow journey down to mid calf (my next "big" milestone I thinkt). But I'd like to get to the upper part with more hair, before calling it calf and I'm very happy to call it knee lenght for a while longer. To really enjoy the milestone! :)

[cat11]

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress with microtrims. I think watching the progress of people microtrim and thicken their hemlines is one of my favorite things to watch on LHC.

I agree! I love a nice, even hemline. It's so satisfying. But I can't bear to sacrifice length, so I live vicariously through the trimmers. :)

What an awesome thread, can't believe I missed it. My length goal for 2020 has been knee, which I never thought could be possible for so many year.

This is a photo that I took about a year ago:
https://scontent-lhr8-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/133793798_10158311249719011_687515387471213725_o.j pg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=2&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=USfOa4XBpGQAX8y8XaY&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr8-2.xx&oh=bf0ecd3fe6788fc66c2ac35e4e1aad62&oe=600FE5FE

And this is a month or so I ago, I have had a little trim since then, but I am still at knee I think. Close enough to make me happy with the results.
