I almost missed these - thank you both

You are most welcome, blackgothicdoll.

Congrats blackgothicdoll!! As one hyper-curly graduates, another one moves in to take her spot!



I measure my dry length rather than stretched length. I promise I'll take pictures of the back of my head from now on

Welcome, hinabelle! More beautiful curls to admire!

Thanks Agava! It's definitely true that every little bit of growth counts! Congrats as well on not using a blow dryer anymore
Personally I only use a blow dryer in the winter, especially on the scalp area as I can't stand wet and cold hair, but I use a low heat setting.

haha, thanks! It's nice that we can confess here, and celebrate these things without being estimated as obsessed (because we aren't )
I put dry towel on my neck and shoulders, and then let my hair on it, because I also cannot stand wet and cold hair on my neck. I did that even when I used blow dryer (the air seems colder if my hair is wet)

So it looks like I am going to be in this thread for a while longer than I had thought. I had a trim and my hairdresser put some long layers in which has made my hair unmanageable. I can’t do buns anymore and my braid looks a mess with all the sticky-outy bits.

The shortest layer is about 1.5-2 inches shorter than then hem. I am trying to decide if at my next trim (10 weeks away) I should just get it blunt so that all the unmanageable parts are gone or if I should even it up more slowly. Either way I will be here a minimum of 5 extra months beyond whatever it would have been.

Welcome hinabelle! I just commented your gorgeous curls in another thread but again, your hair is so lovely!

Thank you again!!

Thank you! I've never heard the term hyper-curly but I love that description! As always your curls are so adorable. I commend you on your patience, I often do wonder if my hair will ever reach a point where it grows down instead of out, but I fear that day is many years ahead. I'm sure I'll circle back around to this thread when/if it does though happy growing!

Thanks! Truly, my hair is still growing out instead of down... it's just that I've finally found some products that I can use to wrangle an extra centimeter or two of length from my shrinkage

Welcome hinabelle! Happy growing!

Thank you! I'm happy to be here

hinabelle, your curls are hyper-stunning

What a compliment! I very much appreciate it I'm very happy for you deciding to give up the hair dryer. Your hair will thank you for it!

Welcome, hinabelle! More beautiful curls to admire!

Thank you! I'll be here for a while... it took me 4 years to go from essentially a buzzcut to CBL. I estimate another year and change for APL

Your are most welcome, hinabelle. A buzz cut to collarbone length is quite the journey, congrats!

I will be here to keep you company.

So, I have been hoovering with APL quite a long time, I had reached it several times and trimmed back. Now I'm there again, with a good margin, so I'll call it and graduate to the next thread, because I have no plans to trim my hair in the near future, and when I'll do, I'm gonna keep it below APL.

There's a picture too, sorry for the bad quality, I would have done this already for some time ago if it was easier to take pics. And I had to mess with the light and colours to make my hair visible.

Congratulations, Suortuva!
