It's crazy to think you might hit hip length that soon! For me it will take at least 3 years (with no cutting/trimming), before I reach hip. I do have a fair bit to trim away though, so probably 4 years or more.
18 or 12 months is soooo soon!

Yeah it's a bit weird! I think in two years is pretty accurate, though? But maybe it really will be! I'll know in December, I suppose. I'm doing the no trimming for the last half of 2017, so I'll see how far I get! Predictions right now are that I'll be almost to BSL or at BSL by then.Quote:

You can see how much it's grown using my tattoo as a marker! I need to make hubby take a pic, though, because that was so hard to do lmao.
ETA: Previous sig pic for growth reference since I just updated it.

Yeah, the growth is pretty obvious when you have that tattoo there :) Will be really interested to see where you're at in december!Quote:

YAY Corvana! My hair also grows fast. You are right, it makes my undercut a pain to maintain. I am going to keep it for the summer and then grow it out this fall. I was so surprised to see that I cut my hair to brushing shoulder mid-April and it's already an inch or more past collarbone?!?! How?!? LOL. I'm not complaining :cool:Quote:

I think I'm APL, maybe it's just cheating: as it's hot I keep my hair up more and the waves stretch a little. I'll see after shampoo if it's a done deal.

Some days, I am so impressed that I haven't cut this all off!!! :cool:
Ah but you get to have the BEAUTIFUL CURLS I CRY OVER EVERY DAY. So there's that.Quote:

And olivetime, yeah it's got some benefits for sure! Except when growth is the opposite of what you want. Oh what I would've done for less growth when I was maintaining short hair :laugh: Having to cut it monthly because it was out of hand so quickly was frankly a pain! That really factored into my desire to just let it all grow out. It's what my hair wanted! XD
It was destiny you should have long hair!
It truly was!
But now I gotta learn to braid it... I can braid OTHER people's hair! But I can't braid my own :laugh:

And on a totally different note: I'm still trying to convince my bestie to join! She just bleached her hair, and looks so gorgeous as a blonde! But she'll be dying it pink and purple! Anyway I was like "I HOPE YOU DIDN'T CUT IT" :laugh: She would never :laugh:. But then I told her to get a sleep cap because it'll reduce tangles and she was like :disbelief Tangles are her #1 enemy loool
I'm happy that I remembered that it's the 21st today, meaning one month has passed since I decided that may 21st was going to be my new starter date.

I find it hard to see how my hair is growing at this length, especially now that my ends are not as obedient as last time (last time I braided it).
But I am sloooowly getting there :cool:
