Midback | Waist

I have about 3 inches to waist length. That was my goal when I joined LHC but now that I've almost made it I realize the goal has moved on further out. 🙃

Heh LHC-itis! I've got it really bad. I've gone from "I want waist!" to "Well, I've technically had waist, so I want hip!" to "Well, TBL is really pretty." to "Classic is just... classic!" to "Ok but FTL is just thud worthy!"

I have... no idea if I'll stop at FTL, either. I know I want to bare minimum hit it, and then I'll reassess. I figure by then I'll know more about what I want!

Oh, darn it. I forgot about my monthly length photo, as well as last months (I think). I knew something was up on the 21st, it sure felt like I had forgotten something

I will take a photo later today when my hair is dry (just washed it).

I'm at waist stretched and 1 cm from waist unstretched (a little more on a curly day). I should take a photo

My ends are very thin though... that is my eternal struggle.

My hair is almost waist length from the back but from the front it barely looks past bsl (big chest problems!) so I think I might have to reassess my goal a bit. I’d love my hair to hit my belly button when draped over the front but I think that’s more hip length. Got many more inches to go, I think!

How exciting that you're both almost there, Hailwidis and lemonlollies!

I haven't measured in a while, but it looks like I got about 10 cm left, I guess it could be 9 or 8 cm, or even 7 (?), but whatever it is, it will take me a minimum of 6 months (probably) to reach it. I still have quite a bit of trimming to do.

Here is a late monthly length photo:

I believe my waist is about halfway between my ends and the seam on that red dress, or where my arms are at, somewhere there.

Gorgeous, Estrid! And your ends are so thick.

I took a length photo because I was wearing a top that makes where my waist is more visible- I feel like I'm starting to close in on it! a couple months or so!!

Estrid, Your hair looks great and so thick! What is the trimming for, to get rid of layers? It looks great either way as is!

Thank you, Hailwidis and Caraid! I have quite a bit of damage on the last ~7 cm of my hair that I'm intending to trim away. I do have layers as well, they're rather invisible by now but they will go as I trim away those broken ends.

Beautiful hair, Caraid! To me it looks like you are already there with your longest bits

Well it looks awesome despite any damage- keep on micro trimming and it'll be gone in no time!

I can relate, I was trimming out major damage too when I first starting growing- once its gone it feels so nice to have hair that feels uniformly healthy!

You're right now that I look closer, I think that longer piece is at waist!!

I trimmed recently and it was all even so that chunk of hair must've sprinted ahead! (or I jusy missed a piece haha) I've definitely been noticing growth spurts, I've been having to dye my roots so much! I will either trim the longest bits (I like my hemline even) or call it when the long bits reach my elbow and the bulk of my hair is at waist
