The End of a Journey: A New Beginning?

[Hypnotica]

I realized today that I have, in fact, reach my goal length as I planned from the very beginning of my membership here. Now my hair is touching the upper part of my behind which is 37 inches according to the tape measure.

My original plan was to maintain at his length to get rid of dry and damaged ends and generally letting them thick up. But there is no damage to the ends, the are not dry and there are not thin. My hair has just beginning to taper a little and no sight of fairytale end either.

I guess I just keep on growing then.

A big heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you that have been with me for these years.

Wow Hypnotica! That is so impressive. I remember pics of your hair when I first got on LHC and now it seems like it really grew all of a sudden. I would love to see progress shots. Those are always so encouraging to me. I seem to be stuck somewhere in waist-land again. My new goal is what your length is now. At least until I get there. Then of course it may continue. Congratulations!! :applause

I can not believe that I have gone this far in a little over 2 years!

[little_acorn]

WOW Hypnotica I didn't realise you had grown so much :D - your hair was the same length as mine when you joined. I only hope that when I get to 2 years I have so much growth!!

Congratulations! I hadn't realized your hair was so long, for some reason I thought it was between mid- and lower back. Good for you!

[NurseMama]

Congratulations Hypnotica! You are an inspiration!

[Hypnotica]

I had an enormous crappy day today, so it is a blessing to read this thread again. I just wanted to say that I have made up my mind to go all the way to the knee. That would be around 3 years of growing, but then it will be an awesome 30 year present!

[Isa-belle]

Congrats Hypnotica! :applause

Congrats! Your hair is stunning, I bet it would only look more amazing as it gets longer. That's a real accomplishment, to reach your goal with no damage to cut out. :D :flower:

Hey, Hypnotica! We were New Members together (joined in the same month) and it's lovely to see you have reached your goal, and with such a lovely color and wonderful thickness! I'm going for knee, as well... shall we keep on growin' together?

It looks like you are going to beat me to knee :)

[rach]

:agape: just beautiful. Red totally rocks :redgrin:

[Angela_Rose]

It looks like you are going to beat me to knee :)

Perhaps, but when I get to Knee, I'm taking 6" off to thicken up the ends and remove latent damage. You'll catch up!

[Firefly]

Congratulations, Hypnotica! Your hair is gorgeous; you've been a long time hair inspiration for me! :)
