I'm not a frequent poster, but I thought perhaps everyone could celebrate with me . . . I've hit waist length!

I would really like to have a more "official" waist length picture, but there is just too much static in the air this evening to get it to lie flat and I only have a built in macbook camera. The plan now is to maintain for the next nine months to a year in order to cut off the last of the dye damage.

I had thought I was done at waist, but it doesn't feel long enough, so I'll be going for hip next.

I am sorry, but no matter how far I light up my monitor, the part where your ends are remains one solid color, I cannot make it out.

I guess I should take a picture in a different color shirt, then. A lousy camera combined with bad lighting . . .

That's a bit better. Hmm. Maybe it isn't quite waist . . . One of the downsides of being so tall.

Although, it's much clearer in that picture why I need to maintain and get rid of the dye damage . . .

You know what? It looks like waist-length to me! It's hard to judge without actually seeing where your waist is :p but CONGRATULATIONS!

YOU know you've hit waist and that's what matters!

By the way, you have lovely hair :)

Honestly, even if I didn't crop the picture, you'd be hard pressed to find my waist. :p

Oh, and thank you!

What is your hairtype? I'm curious, 'cause I think our hair looks alike.:)

Are you a darkblonde by any chance?

Either way, it's a beautiful length you've reached, congratulations!

Congrats! I don't see any damage. But that is a flattering length and your hair looks full and thick, so nothing wrong with maintaining!

Thank you!

I haven't quite figured out the hairtyping system. I know I'm a ii/iii. I was a iii, but I had a major shed. It seems to be filling back out, though. I'm going to guess it's 1b and fine.

My hair is dark blonde. It's lighter than it looks in either picture, though.

The damage is pretty serious, but I'm glad it's not coming across too much in the picture. I have what I call "tree splits", in that I have branches coming off of individual strands (one single piece) of hair. It's only on the area where I dyed my hair pink, though, so I think that once I cut all of it off, I won't have any more of the split issues that I have now.

Congrats, Miss L, for reaching waist! ;) :cheer:
Your ends look so thick! :bounce: Whatever you decide to do (trim or not trim), your hair looks great now (at least from what I can see, I don't see the splits) and I'm sure it will look even better once you reach your goals. :crush:

Your pic looks waist to me. Congrats on reaching a hair goal! :bottomsup:

And it looks very nice and thick, and healthy to me. I can't even tell by the pic that there is damage. Keep up the awesome work, and I'll see you at hip in no time! ;)

Ohh I know the feeling!!!
Hair seems to take forever to reach between milestones, it's probably the only downside to being tall.. except for finding jeans long enough ofcourse!
Your hair is beautiful by the way :)

Doesn't it? LOL, I have a feeling that once I finally get to classic, I'll have such a long drudge to knee. I love my long legs...but I'm starting to hate them in regards to my hair length. :rolleyes:

And once you get into the blogging thing (writing your own, participating in others) it gets even more addictive. :eyebrows:
