I've been doing some thinking and measuring. My goal for 2008 is Tail Bone. As it says in my siggy, that is 38 inches. If I keep the growth rate I have now I should be there by August or September. Unless I get a spurt over the summer.

So, what are you hoping for by the end of '08?

I'm hoping to be able to do a french twist, or even a little bun. I don't know what that would be in inches, though.

I never really had a set in stone length goal.. but this year I really just want to take better care of my hair and thicken up the hem a bit.. I am thinking of doing microtrims and staying where I am now with length.. I haven't decided completely though, yet.

I want my hair to rest on my shoulders. Preferably WITHOUT stretching it, but I'll take it any way I can. :lol:

I'd like to get to hip-length, I should be able to make it also in september/october.

I want mine to reach waist or atleast brush it. I think I'll accomplish that by the end of the year. And learn a way to make it shine, though I seriously I doub that's possible.

I'm gonna try and get my hair cut sometime this year, really just because my ends need tidying up a bit. I've not got a goal length-wise. I like keeping my hair about this length.

Good luck with your goals everyone!

Just 1.5" more to BSL, and then another hmm.. maybe 3? to waist. Waist would be nice, if I could make that. But I want to get to BSL first of all! :D

March 12th, 2008, 03:54 PM
im hoping for just past BSL very nearly waist at 30" might be a bit too optimistic, but hey a girl can dream!

Ive only recently started paying attention to the length of my hair so I dont really know what my growth rate is, but looking at pictures from just a few months ago, Id say Im a pretty fast grower. I should be able to get to waist easily this year, which is great, but I would like even more to thicken up a little bit. Cutting back on tangles is my biggest step I think I need to work on. Hopefully my henna will help too :)

I'm hoping to reach tailbone at 38" (or even better, my old maximum length at 39") before the end of the year. I don't know my average growth rate yet, though. I grew 3/4" in January and if that's normal growth for me I should reach TBL this year. On the other hand, my hair has stalled for about 2-3 weeks and I'm not sure why. If I have accidentally snipped away some length during my excessive S&D-ing while LHC was down,:oops: then my hair should be growing again now. If my longest hairs are resting though, then who knows how long it will stall...

I'd love to hit waist this year. It would completely rock.

I'm still undecided about the fringe - I'd like to make a decision about there. I like the way I look but I don't like the maintenance (even though I do it myself). It's finally down past my mouth and heading for chin length and stays mostly tucked behind my ears now. I just don't know what to do......

I'd also love for the condition of my hair, particularly the canopy, to improve a bit more. I've got some chemical damage to get rid of, but I'm not ready to sacrifice length for it - it's not severe and there's no breakage.

Guenever
March 12th, 2008, 04:38 PM
Well.. hopefully I'll hit 40" this year.. and maybe a bit more if I'll get 0,6" like I did the last few months.. then 43" would bring me at "can I almost call this classic"-length.. since 45" on me is fully classic..
Oh, just the thought of it... yay! :hollie:

CurlyNinja
March 12th, 2008, 05:10 PM
I don't know my average growth really either, but I just looked at some old pictures and I actually think over the past year at least it's been growing close to an inch a month on average! I'll have to start tracking it, but I think this means it's not outside my reach to get to waist by the end of this year, and so I'm going to say that's my goal. :D

March 12th, 2008, 05:17 PM
My hair has been growing really slowly lately, but then it's hard to measure since when clean it poofs up. I'd like 27 inches, (which would be the bottom of my bra strap, with the strap fully covered) with a thick hem and some of this damage gone. That I think is a nice conservative goal. Now, if grows a lot over the summer, I'll happily take waist, but I'd quickly cut back anyway because of, again, damage.

Anje
March 12th, 2008, 05:35 PM
Not sure if I'll make it (big bum and all), but tailbone would be a great Christmas present.

Actually, I was thinking earlier today I might be able to get to fingertip by the time I get my PhD! Of course, maybe my goal should be a little more along the lines of graduating before knee length....

I hope to hit APL wet and shoulder length when dry and curly before the year's end. I'm at 18" now, so I've got about 5" to go until APL. Since I've gained about that much since August, I think it's safe to say that my hair can grow that much before the year's end. I just need to maintain that growth.

ReadingRenee
March 12th, 2008, 06:07 PM
I would like to make it to 30 inches. For me and my high waist that would be waist when wet.

My hair grows better during the summer so Im hoping to be able to get at least one one inch trim this year and Still reach my goal of 30 inches. :)

March 12th, 2008, 06:16 PM
More even ends (trimming) and classic length..hopefully by summer

Alaia
March 12th, 2008, 06:23 PM
I'm hoping to have reached my 36" goal, trimmed back to 34", and have grown back to 36" again! :D

fae
March 12th, 2008, 06:55 PM
I'd like to think I could get to classic by late November/early December. It will need a trim though because of the taper. I would like to have a blunt hem line.

Happy Growing!

birthmarkie
March 12th, 2008, 07:11 PM
I would love to reach waist-length this year, but it would be a very high waist. I hope to get to BSL first though. I might maintain there for a while or just keep growing.

AmandaPanda
March 12th, 2008, 07:20 PM
I hope to have about 40" of hair by the end of the year

i would like for my hair to be past my shoulder a bit, i am unoffically shoulder length at the moment

JennQ

This is going to be a big year for my hair! It's 54" now, and I've finally grown it out enough that I can cut it to upper BSL (about 22") and get rid of the dyed ends. Since I found LHC I've been taking good care of my hair, and the upper part (that's gotten CO, lots of oil, TLC) has a completely different (better) texture than the bottom. So, hopefully it'll be 26" by the end of the year, healthy, and maybe lightened a little with honey.

March 12th, 2008, 08:59 PM
To make my mind up on a style, get there and stick with it! I am currently undecided about goal length, colour, layers, fringe arggh!!11

I could just keep changing it I suppose, but I'm lazy and like the idea of not having to worry about my hair too much.

Altocumulus
March 13th, 2008, 08:23 AM
I'm hoping for classic, but I've been stalled for a while, so I don't know whether I'll get there. I could use a trim, too.

chelles2kids
March 13th, 2008, 08:51 AM
Another tailbone goal here too. By my guesstimation, I should be there somewhere around November.
So you & I are really close in length, AJoifulNoise!:D

I'm not trimming any this year until I get a tiny bit past tailbone, then I'll do my yearly trim.

I'll be at classic very soon and was wondering about my hair goals for 2008. I think thicker ends would be nice so I'll probably just trim them every month or so.

However, the temptation to grow even longer is there too. LOL.

pookatrina
March 13th, 2008, 09:30 AM
To not have a big shed followed by a stall like I did this year? Yeah, that'll be my goal. No clue how I'd make this goal happen, but I can hope right?

az_sweetie01
March 13th, 2008, 09:33 AM
Since last year was the year of losing nearly half of my thickness (and I'm already pretty fine and thin)...I will be doing everything possible to thicken up again. Unfortunately, that means I will have to do my best not to worry about the length. So, once I get my dermatitis under control and my hair starts growing back, then I will worry about the length.

FrannyG
March 13th, 2008, 09:45 AM
My goal for this year is to reach just below waist, while microtrimming every other month to keep my ends tidy. I can do it!

Mahars
March 13th, 2008, 09:49 AM
My goal is to reach BSL this year. I'm just barely at APL right now, but I think I can get to BSL in about 6-8 because my hair grows about 3/4 inch per month. Of course, that's only going to happen if I don't give into my bi-monthly urge to chop chop chop.

I also want to figure out a routine that makes both my ends and my scalp happy. Still workin on it.

Garnet66
March 13th, 2008, 11:54 AM
My goal is to reach 17". Which isn't a grand goal but I know it's something I can attain with my slow growing hair.

Euphony
March 13th, 2008, 12:07 PM
I'm hoping for tail bone, but with my wave I just don't know how to gauge how long that would be. I'm thinking I might make tail bone wet/straight, but it'll probably be several more months before I reach tail bone wavy.

camara
March 13th, 2008, 01:09 PM
My goal is classic lenght. Its a realistic goal, I think, since I trimmed in December and the next trim won´t be due any earlier than in June.

I would love to get to waist this year, but I feel my hair has stopped growing over the last few months. :(

khyricat
March 14th, 2008, 05:20 PM
my current goal is BSL by July.. and Waist by next July.. to be honest, I will probably make it soonr- DH says I'm at 23" now and BSL is 24, waist is 30.. so I think they are realistic, I'd love to make waist by year end, but I tend to doubt that will happen.

I do plan 2 potential trims- I need to see what the ends look like, but I am thinking I may have the ends trimmed right before I go to my parents OR before my cousins wedding.. maybe both if its just a quarter inch each time.. its been almost a year (11 months) since I had a trim at all.

March 14th, 2008, 05:25 PM
I will be at BSL by the end of 2008, and on my way to waist.

jessie58
March 14th, 2008, 05:55 PM
Well I hope to get to waist by December 2008, but I am not sure how this year's growth will grow. I grew about 14 inches in 2 years, so if I get 6 inches of growth between March and December, then I'll reach my goal.

chrissy-b
March 14th, 2008, 05:58 PM
I should reach APL, and possibly BSL by the end of the year. My main goal this year isn't length, however, it's no trimming and wearing it up.

Xan
March 14th, 2008, 06:46 PM
I'm hoping to get close to 40" that would be a little past waist yea.

cassie_g
March 14th, 2008, 06:50 PM
Longer. I don't really have specific length goal. I just want it to get longer.

MadPirateBippy
March 15th, 2008, 12:05 AM
Well, I just hit 38 inches, so with a .5/mo average (some months are better, stress and poor nutrition make me grow slower, and sometimes I loose length to damage) I'm hoping my christmas that I'll have 43 inches or more, which is solidly almost classic on me.

I have a huge and slightly droopy butt, so what would be hip length on any normal mortal with a NORMAL booty is still butt length on me. :))

On the other hand, I'm about to post how far I've come since April 2007 to today. I was just past BSL, and I passed the mid-back wastelands and entered waist length plus in a year. With a little luck, I might grow eight or ten inches this year, or even a dozen if I'm really good and lucky.

38+12 = 50 inches, which would be AWESOME. :) Really spectacular.

My goals are more in how I treat my hair and in learning more updos= things I have some control over. :)

To decrease shedding, stop using chemical dyes, and thicken up my hemline. I'm pretty happy with the length at present - I don't think anything much longer than where I'm at (hip) would look good on me.

Gothic Lolita
March 15th, 2008, 01:27 AM
My current length is the lower half of my waist (do you know what I mean?). My hair didn't grow that fast in winter, but if my growing rate stays like this, I think I'll reach hip in August or September. Hopefully, I'll even reach my final goal, tailbone this year.

Another goal is to take even better care of my hair (although some people even now think that I'm crazy about it) and to wear it up more often.

Finoriel
March 15th, 2008, 04:01 AM
No length goals so far, just enjoying the journey and happy with the current state :)
Cutting some of the growth to go for quality over quantity and waiting for the surprise how long my hair grows this year. Not expecting or aiming for something special.

Rosa.Damascena
March 15th, 2008, 04:08 AM
I'm hoping for waistlength at least, perhaps a bit more in direction of hip...? We will see, how fast the hair will grow this year. :)

tiny_teesha
March 15th, 2008, 04:22 AM
waist was my goal, but i'll be there the end of next month. I'm pretty much there already when my hair is wet.
I do intend to do a 1cm trim, just to change the shape of my hemline (V to U) gradually.
I guess i want to keep up the careing for my hair and get the ends to grow faster so i have more virgin hair. 100% virgin hair is up to my ears. I also want a thicker pony tail and to reduce my shedding rate! ( with micanazole and MSM )

Faepirate
March 15th, 2008, 04:54 AM
My goals are more to do with quality than length, although ideally I would like to be waist-length by the end of the summer. I really just want NICE hair though. Sigh. My hair is frustrating me no end at the moment. I've half a mind to hack it all off.

Jeep Girl
March 15th, 2008, 06:02 AM
Hi to All! My goal this year is to get my length back to where it was before my January "Big Chop" - a necessary evil deed caused by velcro ends. The tippy tippy tip of the fairy tale ends where at mid thigh, now I have a blunt cut that's at mid-butt length. I also will try to be much gentler to my hair - especially when detangling. I have a tendency to lose patience with the birds nest tangles that I get right at the nape of my neck and start ripping at them. I will try to oil/deep condition my hair more regularly on the weekends - last year I let this go and my hair has suffered greatly for it. I will try to hold to my resolve that 'cones are a temporary fix (detangling) that causes me more grief and irritation in the end (on my ends ha ha!). I will also try to be a more active member of the forum instead of lurking daily!

GlassEyes
March 15th, 2008, 07:04 AM
My goal for this year is shoulder length.

Doesn't seem like much, but I'm guesstimating that by then my hair will be at around BSL when wet.

Carolyn
March 15th, 2008, 07:40 AM
I recently trimmed off 5" taking me back to 35" or 2" below waist. I'm very happy with the new hemline and length. I haven't decided if I am going to trim ends as it grows or work on gaining some of the length back. I'd like to go to 40" again but I'd also like a thicker straighter hemline. Decisions, decisions! :D

catapia
March 15th, 2008, 08:05 AM
Getting all of the layers of bleach to APL and then cutting it off. Right now the longest layer is almost there, but the canopy is almost to the nape of my neck. It may be unrealistic as my hair grows quite slow, and I am thinking of stopping the Monistat treatment, but we shall see.

I have been flip flopping between doing that, and just doing microtrims to gain length. If I choose to go the microtrim route, I am hoping for an inch or 2 past bra strap.

Oh, and eating large amounts of cheese :cheese:

Elfling
March 15th, 2008, 09:38 AM
General goal is hair rehab, and see where it gets me. I'm three or four inches from true waist length, so that might be doable by the end of the year. We'll see if I have to really trim or not, I've usually been "good" about my hair even before now- no heat styling, always air dry, etc. So we'll see :)

Soraya
March 15th, 2008, 09:58 AM
I really hope my longest hairs (read: the back part of my mullet [arrgh!]) will reach where they did before I cut myself a pixie six months ago. Or at least to the point I last saw them at (which was in June, I didn't look at my hair down for two months after that).

I also wish that the longest bits of my front hair around the ears will reach my collar bones. I haven't let myself do spesific predictions of my growth, but I think these goals might be attainable.

Requiax
March 15th, 2008, 10:01 AM
I want to be able to do a decent dry bun. I need at least another 3-4" before that will happen. Wet buns will stay, but dry everything slips out.

That sentence looks very wrong, doesn't it?

Toof
March 15th, 2008, 10:14 AM
I want to maintain at TB and hopefully have a straight or slightly u-shaped hemline by the end of the year, instead of the strange u/v-shape thing I have now with the shortest hairs at ~APL.

2BThinAgain
March 15th, 2008, 10:28 AM
Considering I am at 15 1/2" now and it is the middle of March...I would be extremely happy to see between APL and BSL by the end of the year.
I do have bleached, boxed coloured and henna/cassia, boxed coloured hair btw.

I eat a high protein diet as well and try to keep hydrated.
I am trying some of the recipes here to improve my hair or at least baby it the best that I can.

Summer would be a definite plus as my hair love the heat and humidity !!:cheese:

Alva
March 15th, 2008, 04:33 PM
I hope to come close to classic length. Might not work because my hair hardly grows the last months, but I keep hoping for a spurt. Further trying to keep my ends as thick as I can.

SchnauzerMom
March 15th, 2008, 04:49 PM
I'm hoping to make it to shoulder and not get disgusted and cut it short again.

EbonyCurls
March 15th, 2008, 06:43 PM
Definitely BSL. Anything more of course will be welcome, but I plan on getting my first trim in a year during this summer so BSL w/a trimmed hem is my goal.

thunderlilies
March 16th, 2008, 04:26 PM
My goal is also tailbone. I want healthy, thick ends too! So, since I'm almost at tailbone, I can start trimming away in a few months and keep it looking good a tailbone this year :P

snowbird
March 16th, 2008, 06:40 PM
Hmmm...good question
I guess I want to just keep it as is, but longer; still trimming the top layers to maintain my bangs and the long layers...well....longer.
I think that it should get almost to BSL dry this year! :happy:

I reached BSL in January 2008 and I am really hoping if my growth pattern (1.5cm 0.59' per month) holds up through winter that I will reach Waist by December 2008.

XtinaXposed
March 17th, 2008, 09:49 AM
i hope to reach waist length this year and i really have to fight against the urge to dye my hair because finally i want to grow out my natural colour. also i have to disciplinate myself not to trim off too much otherwise i will never have my hair longer.

Harpo
March 17th, 2008, 06:20 PM
I'm hoping to get to 46 inches by the end of this year. (I'm just past 41 inches at the moment.) I am also hoping to keep the ends in good condition so I don't have to trim.

MadHatter
March 17th, 2008, 06:34 PM
Waist was my goal when I first joined. Now that I've passed that, I'm aimless. I'm just going to keep on keeping on.

March 18th, 2008, 08:42 AM
I hoping for a solid 32 inches. That will be waist length.

Snowblood

I´m longing for classic length this year, that might be a bit megalomaniac or veeery optimistic.. :D

Sophrosyne
March 18th, 2008, 10:47 AM
My main goal for 2008 is hip length. I only have around 4 or 5 inches to go, so I'm pretty sure I'll get there by the end of the year.

My other goal - like a few others before me - is to have a thicker, straighter hemline (it's sort of "V" shaped right now). A couple of microtrims this year will hopefully sort that out. And I'm looking forward to starting self-trimming for the first time. :)

freznow
March 18th, 2008, 11:49 AM
By the end of the 07-08 school year, I hope to be at classic. By the end of the year, I'll hopefully be at Golden Ratio/almost mid thigh length. This is the year of really becoming a longhair! (barring chance of stall...)

marajade
March 18th, 2008, 12:16 PM
Waist! I'm really close because I'm at basically at 26 right now and haven't had my summer growth spurt! Ideally I'd like to grow out all my fringe/layers to match my waist, but that might be next year!

Vela
March 18th, 2008, 05:28 PM
I hope to reach classic, I hope that I get a summer growth-spurt, but my hair has been growing slow lately... :(
Ever reach a point where you don't think its growing, but measure and its a halfinch longer than before? I think thats where I'm at. :P

Lets see, my hair now is 25 inches long, I only want to grow 5 more inches or possibly more! hopefully by the end of this year I will reach my 5 inch goal first.

Nicole Marie
March 18th, 2008, 09:08 PM
Ah i'm hoping to just make it to BSL....never made it there before successfully, but with my new hair-friendly regime & bi-monthly microtrims, who know's what will be possible :)!!!!
and then maybe by the end of 2009, who knows, waist length....?
ahhh but i can dream lol

Hypatia
March 19th, 2008, 12:48 AM
I'm hoping to make it to waist by my birthday, which is the sixth of June. I think it's about four more inches to really be waist length, but if the ends would just get within a whisper...I'd be satisfied.

I hope to be almost at waist, around 29 inches. Now I'm at around 25.5...

I'd like to get to waist this year. I'm past BSL now and I should be able to *almost* brush it by the end of the year.

WavyGirl
March 19th, 2008, 06:24 AM
I'm hoping to get past hip wet which should be a dry waist length on me. I would love to get past that but I still have about 10" of pre-LHC hair to trim out so I may do some maintenance. I'm just so indecisive. That said I have decided not to trim until July, I just don't know how much I will take off at that point. I did post TB on the old thread but I've since trimmed and done some measuring and that's at least 2 years away now.

morningstar
March 19th, 2008, 08:02 AM
Lets see, my hair now is 25 inches long, I only want to grow 5 more inches or possibly more! hopefully by the end of this year I will reach my 5 inch goal first.

Hi Pinky, our hair stats are very similar. I too hope to grow 5 or 6 inches this year. I am heading for waist hopefully by October. By December I hope that the shorter hairs will also be waist as I am in a U shape.

Sakura07
March 19th, 2008, 12:22 PM
My main goal is to get the front layers of my hair close to shoulder length, or actually reach it.
But over all i just want to grow longer healthier hair.

ladystar
March 19th, 2008, 01:27 PM
My hair is about 26 inches, below my bra strap. My goal is to have it at least by my elbow :cheese: I really hope it gets much longer though. =) I would love to reach my goal which is the middle of my butt. But that would be some miracle I believe in miracles :p

This time next year I hope to be at BSL. Or at the very least, armpit length. I need a trim of about a half inch to an inch, so that'll put me back a tad. But I think I'll like the way my hair looks better after. I'm hating my ends a lot lately.

A good healthy classic. Given my hair is going through a period of crazy insane growth..... I should be able to make it. :)

And once I do.... I'll continue growing it. Classic isn't long enough any more!!!

March 20th, 2008, 06:27 PM
I know I won't get to classic this year, so maybe I will shoot for 40" with a tidier hemline (so trimming is involved...).

March 21st, 2008, 07:29 PM
Well, I just hit 38 inches, so with a .5/mo average (some months are better, stress and poor nutrition make me grow slower, and sometimes I loose length to damage) I'm hoping my christmas that I'll have 43 inches or more, which is solidly almost classic on me.

I have a huge and slightly droopy butt, so what would be hip length on any normal mortal with a NORMAL booty is still butt length on me. :))

On the other hand, I'm about to post how far I've come since April 2007 to today. I was just past BSL, and I passed the mid-back wastelands and entered waist length plus in a year. With a little luck, I might grow eight or ten inches this year, or even a dozen if I'm really good and lucky.

38+12 = 50 inches, which would be AWESOME. :) Really spectacular.

My goals are more in how I treat my hair and in learning more updos= things I have some control over. :)

jeese im jelouse at your growth.....tell me your secret or the parrot gets it!!!

AlleyKitten
March 22nd, 2008, 12:59 AM
I'm pretty sure I'll surpass my previous length before my trim, so hopefully I'll make it to tailbone. My next real goal is classic, but my hair grows super slow, so I'm not sure if I'll make it there this year.

As for personal goals, I want to keep learning new styles. Maybe even learn to French braid!

Let's see - since there's essentially 9 months left in the year..and now at around 35.25"..realistically, cd. hope to be at 39" at least by end of December. On my profile, have upped my original long-term goal of 36" to 42" - however, must check out really what measurement "classic" would be on me - that'd be awesome to achieve!

Wow, harley mama. I hope you get well soon and that the treatment succeeds with as little sickness as possible!


My longest hairs may just reach APL by January next year, if I am lucky.

However, the thing I am the most keen about is being able to use more hairtoys. The day I get to use a hairstick for the first time (properly), you will all know about it! I am also really excited at the thought of being able to tie it up without bobby pins. :o

March 25th, 2008, 08:13 AM
I'm at terminal length, so no chance of any extra length. My goal for 2008 is to gain a little thickness and to keep the greys away for another year. However, I am growing my sideboards out, and hope for an increase on the 5.5 inches which the longest strands are at the moment.

Angellen

I'd like tailbone, but I still need 8 inches and since I average at .75" a month, that's kind of a lot to ask.

Hopefully I'll be at hip by June, and we'll see how the rest goes. <3

I would like to go to BSL by the end of the summer. That's maybe a lot to ask, as I'm still 3 inches away. But my hair is growing superfast at the moment, so I'm keeping my hope up.

blackfrostqueen
March 30th, 2008, 03:45 PM
My goal this year is my end goal of 40 inches...hip length. I see this goal as easily reachable this year, however, I want to add some layers into my hair and thus some of the length will be taken off. I have some really bad split/dead ends so about an inch or two will be taken from the current length of 34 inches. Some I am hoping by the end of this year my hair will reach hip length. But it really depends on how fast it grows and what stupid things I might do to it.

Also a mini goal is to get as much grown out of my chem. dyed hair as I can, as well as darken a bit of it naturally to meet the color of the new virgin hair. ...but that's just a mini goal for this year, hopefully achieve able by summer - yet with summer I might be able to lighten the virgin hair to the dyed...oh the possibilities are making my hair spin.

willowcandra
March 31st, 2008, 03:24 AM
My goal for the year is to keep protecting and looking after my hair and to gradually trim six inches off the ends.

I am waiting for my old coloured ends to grow out and for it to thicken up again after a nasty post partum shedd.

By the end of the year I hope to see thicker healthier ends but still have the same length asI do now. How dull ha ha.

After seven years growing it seems really odd to be maintaining.

I want to reach hip length, which is (I think) about 36.5-37.5" for me. I've got 6-7 inches to go, so I should be there by the end of the year. :D It just seems amazing to me. I never thought I'd have the patience to let my hair get this long, let alone longer.

I would like to be at waist length while dry. I am at about 25 inches now (give or take). I'm guessing I'll need about 4-5 inches to get to waist length. My hair seems to grow about 1/2 an inch every month, so pending my math is correct - I'll be there by about Christmas?

tuuli
April 5th, 2008, 07:35 PM
My goal for 2008 are thicker ends and better condition. I think I'm not able to reach Tailbone Length with regular trims this year. But it would be great. Let's see. :)
Quality before length.

EbonyCurls
April 5th, 2008, 08:14 PM
My original goal was brastrap-length, but since my hair seems to be growing faster than expected I am changing it to "longer than my hair's ever been" (which is just past BS).
So 2008 will be an exciting year for me!

My goal for this year is just to improve condition. I still have major damage and breakage, and lots of peroxide-d and -coned hair to cut off.. so I am not thinking about achieving length. It's more important to me right now that the hair I do have looks healthy and thicker.

I've settled on an inch every 4 months trim schedule for now, so this year I should gain 6" plus of virgin hair and lose 3" of crappy ends.. not a bad trade, I think.

Martina
April 10th, 2008, 09:12 PM
27"-28" by the end of December. If I continue to gain 0.5" per month, I should meet this goal.

April 11th, 2008, 12:51 AM
I'd love to get to waist length this year. I think it's about 4" away, but I could be mistaken. Otherwise, it would be sweet to get my bangs more or less integrated into the rest of my hair so that it's all layers and not mostly layers with obviously growing out bangs.

Emme76

I remember last year at this time I was on vacation with my boyfriend in Finland and I was looking up hair care and stuff, and I decided that I would stop all chemical treaments (dyes, pharmacy shampoos, etc) and grow my hair out naturally, which I have done, and I have never been happier!

I'd like to reach classic length by this time 2012. I'm at tailbone now, approximately 38 inches, and classic is 43 for me, so hopefully by Christmas I'll be there :)
Good luck to everyone else growing their hair!!

By the beginning of 2013 / end of 2012 this time next year I would love to have reached APL... that's my yearly goal. And to continue not using heat and never dying it again. New goal to replace that since I've already done that is be much more economical about hair product purchases and using up my stashes.

My hair goal for 2012 would be getting my hair to tailbone length while dry! I'd really like to have my hair all one length but that would require me to have to cut off nearly 4 inches! So I think I'll just wait and reach tailbone before I go and get my hair cut! =)

February 20th, 2012, 12:37 AM
TBL, that means also 1 meter of hair for me. Than more trimming to help the new hair catch up with the rest.

My goal for 2012 is waist. Right now I'm a teensy bit above bsl so by this christmas it should be at waist or maybe even hip. My hair has been practically shooting out of my head lately, so here's hoping it keeps it up till then!

I'm hoping for hip-tailbone range. I'm past waist, but also loving my blunt ends unfortunately .. Can't seem to embrace the fairytales on myself! They look beautiful on others, but I just can't seem to get into the feeling.

On another topic - It is really neat to see the first posts in this thread. A lot of the users have goals posted that they've surpassed since it's been posted, which is pretty cool :) What a few years can do!

February 20th, 2012, 06:48 PM
I would like to get to BSL this year (I'll even take stretched!) I am at 17.5 inches now and that would be about 7in of growth. I seem to grow between .5 and .75 in per month so I think that goal is attainable.

My other goal is to continue to pamper my hair and see what else happens. I have gone from thinking I have straight hair to having waves! Where else might LHC take me and my hair!

darklyndsea
February 22nd, 2012, 12:27 AM

waist. length.
that is all i want! haha, i really hate the length of my hair when its between BSL and waist, which it is now, and has been for years because i wasn't looking after it. It just sits.. odd at that length. Ironically i much prefer my APL hair better than the length i have now, because of the way it sits, but i like waist better than APL, so i just have to endure it =]
Actually hoping to be waist by mid year!

owlathena
February 22nd, 2012, 12:59 AM
My goal for 2012 is to get to 36in with a thick hemline! So if I get average growth then I'll be able to trim about 2in (I'm trying to hold off on trimming until june or so, but I might break down and do it sooner, my ends are a bit uneven from bleach damage and its been bugging me). Then, assuming I dont get too annoyed and chop it all off, I'll reach classic by the end of 2013. I'm pretty confident that I'll make my goal. I gained 4 inches in 2011, and I can do it again.

Ocelan
February 22nd, 2012, 01:06 AM
Well the first longest hairs now are about an inch or two from waist so it should be a rather realistic goal to get near the hip bone length by the end of the year without trims. Yay, my first goal :o
But I'll have a mini goal of proper waist length or past waist during the next few months.

Hopefully a thicker hemline.. and a better looking waist length. It's pretty much as waist at the moment but it's not good enough yet for my liking so I'm continuing to trim until it looks better

My goal is to replace my commercial hair products with natural ones. More importantly, finding natural products that work on my hair as well or better than my Brocato shampoo!

My goal this year is to get to about 19"-20" and have grown out/colorfix'd out most of my black. I think that's an attainable goal for me. Also, to not touch heat. Not even for either of the weddings that I will be in. I really hope that will work out...But for the first wedding, my hair won't be long enough to do anything with, and the second wedding, they might try to make me do something with it. :(

My 1st goal of reaching BSL has finally happened. Now I am kind of at a loss... my next goal is waist but I know I won't hit it within the next year.

Ok I thought about it and my goal for this year is to just keep up with the no-coloring. I frequently change my mind about my hair color and it is hard not to give into temptation when I have a big box of henna in my dresser drawer. I will get rid of the henna and not go too long without visiting the LHC because being here helps me remember that there are others going through the same thing!

At the moment my hair is 24in i'm really hoping i can get to 30in maybe more:confused:
Although that may be a little optimistic!

I think it really just depends on what kind of monthly growth rate you usually have. For someone whose hair grows more than 1/2 an inch a month, going from 24 in to 30 in in 10 months might not be a stretch.

Even if you just grow 1/2 an inch a month, you'd still get really close by the end of this year :flower:

My mini-goal is to reach APL by July of this year, and to be to almost BSL by New Years. I also plan on learning to either perfect my henna root touch ups or to find a hairdresser willing to let me bring my henna in and pay them to get the roots for me and I'll go home and wash it out there. I'm aiming for no trims in 2012 and wearing it up most of the time, but told myself I'd get one last microtrim in December that I never got around to before jumping on the "No trims in 2012". We'll see what happens. S&D still goes though. :D

I would like to reach BSL, which I'm sure is doable, so I will add on that I would like to have a full BSL even with a trim.

This year I hope to trim my hair once only, hopefully in September because need to cut the damage off to keep it manageable but I still want length. That should leave me at about APL. I'll still have about 14 inches of damage in my hair though :(

My goal is to be past waist by next year, i'll probably hit waist in two or three months, so i think i'm realistic.

More than gaining lenght I want a fuller hemline. Already trimmed an inch today!

I want to be BSL and find a bun I can do at that length. Other than a sock bun that is :)

Physical goals? Solid APL, or maybe BSL if I'm a lucky, lucky girl.

Mental goal? To be able to lurk on here without it fuelling a fear that I might be doing something wrong, missing out on a secret/magical way to grow 8' overnight, or obsessively running out to buy whatever you lovelies are talking about in the forums, no matter how much I may think I *need* it!

New goal is to grow long enough to make a hairstick bun, and then begin maintaining and trimming out henna. :(

Can I borrow this one?!

as for length, if I'm very lucky my longest layers could be APL by xmas.

I'm at waist length right now after a 1" trim to get rid of split ends and clean it up a bit.

I would like to get to tailbone/upper butt length (sorry, I'm not familiar w/ the terminology yet on the site)... so about another 9" or so I think. From my hair growth over the last couple years, I average about 8" per year. I think getting it to my goal in about a year is totally doable, and I'm excited to have my hair that long!

I'm also making it a goal to try a cassia treatment at least once to bring a little gold and health back to my hair. I also want to continue to live a healthy lifestyle, since it definitely affects my hair health and growth.

reaching bsl finally and beyond, this is the most difficult stage for me, theres a very long distance for that particular goal i still have 2 or 3 inches left :(

Solid BSL when dry and curly, then hopefully waist by the end of the year. :D

My goal for this year is to reach APL. I only need 4 inches to reach it when I pull my hair straight. I am hoping that when my hair gets a little longer it will have enough weight to straighten out the 1b in my 1a/1b hair. If I get some growth spurts throughout the year, getting an inch in a month like I did a couple times last year, I could hope to achieve MBL. BSl might be pushing it though. That may be another year worth of a goal in itself with the length of my torso haha.

My goal is hair completely covering my breast. That would be almost waist.

February 27th, 2012, 06:55 AM
My goal is to get close to BSL, with minimal trimming & no using chemical dyes.
I may even get past BSL if my current growth rate of about 1" a month keeps up *fingers crossed*

I measured my hair on January 2nd and my hair was 31 inches, then I measured my hair February 5th and my hair was 32 inches. At this growth rate I could easily be at classic length by the end of the year, but just in case the growth slows down I'll settle for a goal of reaching TBL, which is 4 inches away. :)

vintage88

To reach waist length, and continue to get rid of splits/damage. Cannot wait to finally be at waist, I think then I will truly feel that my hair is long! It has taken forever but I only have a few inches to go, grow hair grow!!:)

to get as much length as possible and then cut back to hip if needed. (for thicker hemlines or split reduction.)

I think I would be happy with Tailbone as an End goal :3

I am really hoping this year to completely cover my behind and to have it cut straight across. I am also goign to try out a couple of more lady like styles and try to keep them for more then two months.
My biggest goal is to help all of my femail friends feel encouraged about growing there hair out and keep them from the temptation of cutting it short.

at 40" and trying to get to calf length before cutting back to bottom of behind.

My goal is thickening up my hair at waist. I want to have thick hair all the way down to waist and i think this is the year to reach that goal. :D

I would LOVE to have waist length hair by my sweet 16, in late September. If I continue my growth rate of an inch per month I should be able to make it! (I have a short torso, so that helps!) :D I have about 7 inches to go!

One more trim this year to clean up the layers in October. Beyond that, I want to get as close to waist as I can before the end of the year. I'm estimating 7-8 inches left. I gained 5 inches with a trim every two months or so between when I joined in Nov-Dec or 2010, so I could make some progress if I just can get away from cutting my hair all the time.

I'm just past SL now (recent pic in my album) Hoping for armpit length by June/July and on the way to upper BSL by my birthday at the end if the year.

APL+, it depends a)how much of a summer growth spurt I have and b) how much the last of the perm damage affects it :(.
