And this is where I'm at! About 4, 5 or 6" to BSL, though :/

Has anyone else made one of these? And I am going to make a length checker t-shirt at SOME point, when my lazy arse gets around to it :D

ETA: And, yes, I do use my tattoo as a length checker :D I'm at Mars/APL, so next goal is just under Jupiter AKA BSL ;)

I was looking at your tattoo. It's nice. I don't think I"ve ever made one of those length things.

Thank you :)

And oh, I see. I saw a lady on the forum who made one and thought it was a great idea.

A 'length checker tshirt' is a brilliant idea :D I'm guessing you mean to draw the lines on/measurements on - I might just have to make one of those because i hate measuring with a tapemeasure

Good job!
I would make a length checker thingy.. but I'm still at pixie so it will probably just depress me to see how far I have to go LOL.
And I've said it before but OMG I love your tattoos! I actually had a dream last night that I got the same tat lol.. but it wouldn't look good on my back as I have a fairy on my lower back lol

I need to make one of these! I also love your tattoo and was thinking of getting something similar :)

Your curls look amazing in your signature pic! What's your routine?

I have been meaning to make one of those pics as well, and also t-shirt with length markers would be cool to do to...need to get on that.

Yeah! It's pretty simple, and there's lots of online tuts :)

Yeah, you can buy them. Unfortunately, the only UK supplier I can find charges over £15 for one! So I'll just D.I.Y it :)

Thank you! What did you have in mind?

My routine is pretty simple at the moment;

- Co wash daily (if I'm having a lazy day in, however, I usually don't bother). Rinse out the conditioner with cool water, squeeze some of the excess water out and 'scrunch' briefly with my micro-fibre towel.

- DC once a week.

- Satin pillowcase, of course.

- I only shampoo when I feel I have build up. I try to avoid shampoo as much as possible because it's so damn drying!

- I've recently started doing two flat twists on either side of my head before I sleep. I detangle with fingers, then a wide tooth comb, then my Denman brush when I do this. Makes detangling when I co-wash easier.

- I baggy every night (basically sleep with a plastic cap shower cap on my head)

In my siggie pic, I'd done an ACV rinse, then a chamomile tea rinse, then co-washed with Tresseme naturals, then DC'd with some of the chamomile tea mixed in. Left a conditioning cap on for about 20 minutes, then rinsed out and left to air dry. I was actually really shocked with the results, as when my hair was wet, it felt AWFUL. Dry and tangled. But then it dried really soft, shiny and defined :confused:

And you should! It's a nice way of reminding you of your goals. As for the t-shirt, I may post a thread when I do it :)

Ehh. Why draw lines when you have the perfect markers already! Saturn, then eventually Pluto...and who knows, maybe the Kuiper Belt!

Like a dope, I forgot that my hair doesn't start from the collar of my neck :rollin: so I just added in the true measurements at the side;

I have a Tshirt I just used a Sharpie on to note major markers (APL, BSL, WL, Hip, TB). I wear it when I do my quarterly measurements. It also helps me guage how thin my ends are. This is my most recent picture, about an inch away from TB.

I did it some time ago but I changed my goal since then (from knee to classic) so I had to delete it from my album.
I like yours! The tattoos are better than any lines, though! Doesn't "at Jupiter" sound cooler than "at BSL?" ;)

The Kuiper belt sounds great, especially as I am always changing my length goals ;)

Haha, I'll probably end up doing the same! My original goal was WL, then I changed it to HL and now I'm considering BCL, TBL or Classic!

And thank you! Jupiter certainly sounds cooler than BSL ;):cheese:

You really should! It's useful for self measuring.
