Waist | Hip | BCL | Tailbone

At waist, inching toward tailbone (It's about 2 inches away when wet, and 3 inches away when dry).

Actually, my hair seems to be growing faster since it hit waist. That could be just related to my totally strange growing habits, but still...

I keep it up 99% of the time during the day and every night in a braid to one side. I probably just didn't notice it edging downwards since it's never really down anymore unless I'm washing it. It just brushes my hipbones when dry..probably a touch longer when wet.

Other than that bun I posted earlier in this thread, there aren't a lot of styles that work well for me right now. It seems that it's just too long to work anymore - but I'm certainly NOT complaining!!!!! I'm going to research the longer hair groups - classic and beyond - and see if I can convert some of those styles to waist-tailbone length.

The week between washes seemed to be great for my ends, but my scalp wasn't happy (headaches too!). The 2-3 days between washes makes my head better, but I'm noticing my ends are a little dry, in spite of the oil. I think I'll do what some of the others here have said and try scalp-washes. I'm also waiting (im)patiently for my orris root powder to try Nanny Pauline's recipes.

Good luck ladies (and gents?) - we'll make it to tailbone soon!!

I just saw this thread pop up for the first time in a while, and it reminded me that I've actually made it to tailbone! It rather took me by surprise.

I'm at about waist right now headed toward tailbone as well.

I'm HOPING to make it there in about a year, maybe a little more. Not sure how fast my hair grows yet, I need to keep track of that. I'm just going to let it grow to tailbone, and then leave it there a while to thicken the hemline. Might go for classic after that, not sure yet.

Anyone know if there's a thread for tailbone to classic?

It seemed like it was waist length forever...I just forgot about measuring and BAM...on day I thought I better measure and there it was..35" and to the tailbone...sorta crack level (sorry)...my goal is knee length around 56" so only 21" more to go...

I'm on this one too. I'm a couple of inches below waist at 34" but not quite at belt length yet. I'm new to LHC so I'm just starting to play with CO and oiling. My ends are thin and dry too though so I hope it helps. I don't want to trim but I might have to.

Not right off hand, you'll have to do a search for it and see if it comes up.

My hair is solidly waist now, even when it's very curly. By the end of 2009 I'm hoping to reach BCL (which is hip curly), and within the year realize my goal - somewhere between tailbone and classic. What I have now, 34.5", is hip length on me (stretched), I can't wait for January 2010! (Although it sounds scary, 2010

)

The mean thing is that I have such a long body that I'm only just at waist with 35 inches. I'm always really jealous when I read that other people have waist-length hair with 30 inches. I think tailbone for me (my goal) is about 40 inches whcih should take about another year.
