I'm at goal length!! (For now)

[joyful373]

Yay!!:cheer: My hair is officially 33 1/4 inches. My goal length when I joined LHC was 33 inches. So I finally made it after 4 + years at LHC. I wanted to celebrate with everyone.... so thanks for all the help and guidance, and thanks for the words of wisdom. I'm going to have to post some comparison pictures, huh?

Thank you everyone for the kind words.... I was thinking that I'd go for "progress pics" :)



Here's when I started...and about 3 years later... I've embraced my body waves it seems :) (or bun/braid waves)

Many congratulations! I hope your goal-length hair is a great joy and source of pride to you.

[HappyKarin]

I saw now that you and I have the same goal... and today I reached my goal 33 inch.
I really understand how happy you are. Congratulations to us both!!

[Fencai]

that's awesome!!!!!! Congrats!!!!! I cant wait until I get to my goal!
i love the waves! Mine seem to come out more the longer my hair gets too!

[joyful373]

I saw now that you and I have the same goal... and today I reached my goal 33 inch.
I really understand how happy you are. Congratulations to us both!!

Yay Happy Karin!! I know how that feels too - Congratulations to you! :) Thanks so much everyone for all the compliments. I feel so loved :inlove: heheh

I really have a love/hate relationship with my hair. It seems like just when I get updos to work, or figure out what to do with it, that it no longer works. I do however love having hair this long- and think I'm going to keep going as long as it stays healthy.

my niece even says she wants "hair like mine" (much to my sister's chagrin!) -- the next generation of LHC :)


Pass all that love forward!:) This is awesome :)

hmmm... I just noted that this was my 600th post too!Gosh, all kinds of milestones after 4 years. No guru yet though ;)

[enitsirk]

Beautiful! Congratulations :D


I reached my initial goal but for some reason it didn't really feel like much of a milestone for me. I think right now I'm just sort of letting it grow while I think about cutting it =p

Somehow as it gets longer you always seem to say "I wonder what it would look like at THIS length"

[justpuggy]

yay!!! I am so happy your achieved your goal!
