Yay for measuring success! I've given up on numbers because they have said 22" for months now and I can see my hair is longer, so boo sucks to the tape.

I'm hoping for September, too, maybe we will get there at the same time!

That would be great! Then we'll have a familiar face on the next thread :) I've been on this thread for so long I can't imagine not being here! I shall stick around for cheerleading I think.

Thanks two-wheels. Unfortunately it doesn't look that long normally what with wurls and curls lol. I should be apl in August but I won't look it until October or November. Difficult to know when to call it when you don't have straight hair.

But when it does look apl I'll start cutting some of my new growth every month to let my shed re growth catch up. I measured the difference between my length and the growth at my nape which is looking quite decent now the other day, and the difference is four inches. So it will take me a year to thicken my hemline I would think.

I finally made it here! Although shoulder isn't very exciting, I've been hovering between pixie and shoulder for 8 years now. My last pixie cut was in May last year and my goal now is waist. Thank god for ponytails lol. Here's a shot of the initial pixie, then when I hit solid shoulder 2 months ago, and then an old shot of the last time I was past shoulder in 2006.

For spitting out pins, have you tried spin pins? They were a revelation to me. I could never get bobbies to stay in my hair but spins are amazing.

I didn't say it was a good Gibson tuck! It was a weird, sad, lumpy thing that did not resemble the elegant updo I was hoping for. I can also only manage twin braids, not single ones.
I've had my eye on trying spin pins for soo loong but I was never sure how much length I needed for them to work. Right now I'm ever so slighty brushing the top of my collarbone, but I won't feel like I'm solidly there until the end of August, maybe.

Welcome Ashflower89!! I have also been on the pixie to shoulder back to pixie yoyo for the last decade, so I am right there with you.

Back here again, cut off 9.5 inches in January.
Hair in avi :)

Get the mini ones I you think the regular will be too long. I've been using the minis since my hair was only just touching my shoulders. I'm actually thinking about trying the regular ones too now I have a little more length.

Welcome Ashflower and Pixiestar! 9.5 is a huge cut, wow! Your hair looks super healthy in your avi though :)

Hello, pixiestar.:waving: Welcome back! We are very close in length, judging from your avatar.

Hi lulu :blossom: We can grow together :)
I always seem to have a big cut when I get to bsl, let's see what happens this time.
