    I voted tailbone, because I am planning on thickening up my hemline once I reach tailbone. I might as well have voted hip though, because everytime I reach hip length I find myself getting a trim .

    My hair now is just a bit past waist and the ends are not perfect but look quite ok, no severe damage or tapper. So I plan to go without trims for the next year until I reach tailbone. I will maintain this length maybe for another year to thicken up the hemline and get rid of layers. Then I'll continue and grow it to classic.

    I will when I feel I need to. I'm not worried about it yet.

    I have had small trims about every 3 months from pixie length to now, although I had two separate 1-year trials of no trims as experiments. I like the way my hair looks and feels with regular trims.

    I always liked a blunt hemline so when I began growing my hair long again I made sure the ends were always kept blunt as my hair grew.

    However, as my hair growth seems to have slowed down a bit, I'm just S and Ding a little every day and letting my fairytale ends grow. At one point, though, I hope to blunt cut the ends again as I like a blunt hemline best.

    I pretty much trim on an "as needed" basis, when my ends look and feel raggedy to me. I think I've had 3-4 trims since I started letting my hair grow about 6 1/2 years ago. I really should trim more often as I do get some splits and my fairytale ends are just not pretty
    I picked classic because I am just about there, and I am planning to do microtrims until my hemline looks the way I want. I'm not sure yet if this is going to work - I may just end up taking about 2 inches off to make my hem nice. That would put me back at BCL

    I keep telling myself that I am going to do it now, but I don't see it happening. Maybe when it's long enough to sit on I will be ready for trims.

    None of the above. I stayed at chin length for a long time trying to get rid of layers. Then I went on to shoulder and trimmed some more to get rid of layers. Did the same thing at APL. We are getting there but a pixie is a miserable thing to grow out.

    I can't stand fairytail ends so i trim every 6 weeks or so, i could get away with going much longer without trims but i have previously heat damaged hair and do not want the splits and taper from the breakage to make the rest of my healthy hair look bad...i'm so in love with a blunt hemline...
