Tailbone | Classic

[mimi1153]

Ummmm, I'd say... I'm in good company. But, I'm probably a whole lot shorter than you... so your.... seat.... may not be the same as mine - - I'm sure it's not!!

Well, I just checked out your album, and I can assure you -- you are MUCH smaller than me!~! So, I'm wider and shorter -- problem solved... friends?

LOL! I'd say I must be as beautiful as you, and you must be as beautiful as me, if we have the same measurements - and we are some beautiful ladies

I'm in! I'm at 36.6 now (93 cm - hopefully more on the 1st of the month!) and that's very nearly tailbone for me. I want to hang in for classic.



That's me, nearly two months ago. My hair is a bit longer now. That IS tailbone, isn't it? It's longer than hip.

I do tiny trims every six months, but really not much, less than the growth of a month. I have to take new pictures...

Benign neglect is the way to go for me, with oiling, updos and CWC with diluted shampoo. When I have the time, catnip rinses and deep treatments. Lately, I have less time than before to pamper my hair but it grows nevertheless. Nice hair, good hair.

BTW: this is the longest my hair has ever been. I have always been a longhair but only until hip. Now, at the ripe age of 45, I crossed the hip length for the first time. Very good feeling!

I'm also at the longest my hair has ever been. (Well, maybe not right this second... a did a small trim a few weeks ago ) How cool!

I just tried a CV bar wash - cafe moreno, and then the honey butter soap bar which I've heard works well as a conditioner for some. My hair absolutely HATED me. It was tacky and tangly and gross.

I have two CV bars now that need a home...my hair does NOT like them either. Oddly, the length was left soft and clean, but my roots were a greasy mess. I've tried several times, but they just don't work for me.

I'm trying to decide what I'd like to try next - so far I'm interested in cassia or coconut oil...

I'm a huge fan of both cassia and coconut oil. My hair loves them both.

What washing methods do you all like, and have they changed as you've gotten longer?

I wash twice a week. For shampoo I like Aveda, Biolage, and Whole Foods brand. I condition with Biolage Balm, and always do a cold water ACV rinse. It took me a while to find a routine that my hair likes, but I finally did and this works very well for me now.

My hair loves the cafe moreno bar as an occasional washing method. I don't need conditioner when I use it. But if I use it all the time my scalp gets greasier than normal, so I usually just wash with it a few times a month.

I also like the babassu marshmallow bar... for an occasional VERY moisturizing wash.

I have the nettle bar and the summer sunshine bar. If either of those interest you, I'll happily send them to you for free as I have no use for them myself.

This is where I belong. I have NO idea what length my hair measures other than the fact that it is longer than tailbone and shorter than classic.

If my hair doesn't slow drastically I am hoping to be there by New Year's. That would be a fun way to start the year!

Either way, it's good to see all the others that are going through this journey too.

It is an odder stage than I have ever gone through with all of the sitting on it, getting it caught in my pants all the time.... strange things. This is an odd length.

It took a lot of getting used to for me, as well! Once my hair got past my waist, it started doing all kinds of crazy things. I had to be more careful if I saw a stray hair on my long sleeves - because sometimes it was still attached to my head! In the car, I would have to flip it over the back of my seat or let it sit on the center console/armrest while I drove so it didn't get pulled or ratty from sitting on it. I think the funniest by far was something that happened in the shower - when I wash/rinse my hair I keep it as straight as possible to avoid tangles, so I do a "ponytailing" motion to squeeze water through, and one night the combination of movements and water resulted in a whip on my backside! Didn't hurt, but the loud "POP" startled me...

Yesterday I tried EVOO and I think my hair really likes it. I'm going to try it on a weekly basis and see how it does in the long run.

Well, I trimmed a bit off of mine - maybe 1.5" or 2." The last couple of inches were starting to get annoying to me, both because of how long they were and all of my layers. I'm hoping to reach classic with way less layers. This'll also give me a chance to spend a little longer near tailbone and continue to get used to the length here. If I still don't like it the second time around, then tailbone might be my forever home!
