I know this isn't a big deal to some but I thought I had been stalling at 27.5".. I just measured by hair and got 28.5" and the second time about 1/4" more than that (will take the conservative measurment)


That means I am on schedule for my first mini goal :D

There is hope in the waste land that is BSL to waist. :cloud9:

Oh Thank God I'm not the only one who is stuck in the 27" range! After joining LHC, I quickly got to 27" and now I am stuck (for like 3 weeks at 27.25". Grrr. :mad:

Congrats!!! Did you do anything to get over the hump? Or just benign neglect?

The milestone of finally growing after BSL haha.

Waist-Lands.. cute :D

Kristin- The same thing happened to me. I haven't been styling/brushing my hair much or washing it too frequently. I have been trying to eat more protein and maybe eating a bit more in general. I also had N1H1 last winter which turned into a bad case of bronchitis and a stressful breakup. That may have resulted in a stall :shrug:

Congratulations! It feels great to get past that 27" mark and get on your way to waist length :)

congratulations! I'm trying not to measure until the April measure-in, but like you, I'm desperate to be out of this mad 27" range. :)

Oh great. So I've just started stalling in the 25" mark and now I find out that if it ever does start to grow again, I get to look forward to another stall around 27"? Oh man.

Dreams_In_Pink: You don't have to dream, if you keep it up it looks like you will have dangerously thick long hair. haha

Liss- I don't know if there has to be a 27" stall, I have just seen others stuck there and was starting to get antsy myself.

I just realized I had a dream last night where I had every hair split many times.. weird. O.O

And thanks everybody :D

Congrats! I am eager to get there too. I just hit BSL and I have stopped measuring lest I drive myself crazy. I have heard making it through the Waistlands is a long and arduous journey. I shall persevere. It's the only choice I've got!

I was at 'BSL' for a long time because there is a long range of what counts as that. So I think measuring for me helped because it doesn't really look like my hair has become any longer in recent months (to me anyways). It is still give or take around the bra strap.

We'll make it to waist :D.. And then, I can finally even out my hemline.

It's very strange...my hair seems to be growing longer, but no matter how I measure it, it never seems to measure more than 27". Does anyone else have this phenomenon??? I'm actually a bit past waist - but not according to the tape measure. Maybe I need a different tape measure! lol Anyhow, I wanted to say, congratulations! And also, trust the pictures of length progress more than the measurements. Cameras don't lie! :)

That's me! I measured 53 cm when my hair was just flipping on my shoulders. Now i'm way past shoulders (it almost hits APL when stretched) and my hair measures like, 54 cm? :rolleyes:

that's why i let go of the tape :D

Eep!! I'm at almost-25" now and I'm nervous about this 27" hump! Luckily I'll be tackling that (hopefully) during the summer months, so maybe it won't be so bad... I hope!

I really do try to be as accurate as possible, but even then I think you get error. So I measure a few times and take the smallest growth difference. And my pics do lie. Lol.. in some of them I look like I am at waist Oo.

Icarus-I think people stall at different points. As long as you stay healthy, you probably won't stall at 27" :)
