How do I post a pic 🤷🏻*♀️
The length of time will probably depend on how fast your hair grows (the average is about 1/2" a month), and how tall you are. As for posting pictures, you have to upload them to an image hosting site like imgur, and then put the url between [ IMG ] tags.Quote:

Thank you! Looks like my hair grew about 3 inches from October until now. I'll have to get on a site to post pics ��

I still need to get him a satin pillowcase, but he's definitely embraced the 'no brushing wet' rule, thank goodness!Quote:

He dyed it all black a few years ago, and it's virtually grown out now, and he maintains around TBL (definitely not his terminal, just seems to be the longest he can stand it!). They're not all that lucky though - another of our friends thinks he's reached terminal just below APL, but I have a feeling it could have something to do with the way he treats it!
I hope you'll get to APL soon. From what I've seen, your hair's looking healthy and happy, and it's definitely growing :)
Hi and welcome! If you've already hosted the pic online somewhere, you can use the Insert image option at the top of the post comment box.Quote:

Ah, I can see how that'd be a problem! It is lovely though. Is that a shop on Etsy? If so I'll check them out after Lent.Quote:

Had a headband on all day because my ears were cold.

(Also, I finally ordered in a whittling knife, so I can have a go at making my own hairsticks and forks. I've got some seasoned wood donated by a kind friend's dad. It should arrive Saturday, so excited!)
Oh no, it's not an Etsy shop. It's an app, and it's a lot like alibaba or something like that? You basically buy stuff at or close to wholesale directly from China. My husband got it, a dark hair stick (that I gave to my roommate), and a dark wood 2-prong fork off of there for me back when I first joined here and was talking about hair forks and stuff! As a bit of a test case, and also to show me that he was listening to me and supporting my hair growing journey! (although I admit to seeing identical ones on etsy and looking at them like :hmm: resellers? I know they used to be a huuuuge problem back in like 2010 when I paid attention to etsy lol. But I stopped paying attention maybe a year or two later and have no idea if they're still a big thing)Quote:

I'd love to learn to whittle, but I'm also incredibly clumsy and I think I'd lose a finger :laugh:
_fred_, your buns look so voluminous, really pretty!
(bun envy here...)
Ah, thank you for the info! I might have a hunt around eBay after Easter and see what there is. Now it's Lent I'm not allowed to buy anything non-essential, so I probably shouldn't look just yet!Quote:

LOL, I'm also concerned about chopping chunks out of my hands, so the whittling knife I've ordered has an integrated thumb guard!
Thank you! :flower: It's not super tight though, so there's a fair bit of air in there! Every so often I don't wind it tight enough and suddenly, exploding bun! (often accompanied by the ping of one of my U pins bouncing off down the road...)Quote:
