Tailbone | Classic

[isbmlamloi]

Hooray, this is my thread! I had to check the lengths descriptions versus my most recent length picture, which is still almost a year old. I've trimmed a lot since then, too, because that picture is from before I joined LHC and learned about S&D - and I still think I need a full-on even-it-out trim. I have a wonderful stylist who I see every year or so who understands how much I love my hair long. I think this time I go see her, I'll be able to say, "trim it to tailbone!"

I put my most recent length picture in my "growing concern" album. Jojo tells me I am one fly fart away from classic length, haha. When water is streaming through my hair in the shower, I'm already at classic length.

I always seem to get a surprising growth spurt in October, and that's what happened this year. It seemed like my hair got longer overnight and surprised me.

I measured tooday - 100 cm! YAY!!! Next mini-goal - 40''

To celebrate the occasion, I came up with a trimming plan (as I have quite some taper, my braid is so thin twards the end it's rediculus ) : a 1-2cm trim at the end of December or begining of January to even out the ends alittle, then no trims till Classic (according to my calculations, including the trim, I should reach classic in May 2011 ), and after that more regular trims of 1cm every 2-3 months... Now if I can stick to the plan and bare loosing a month's growth to regular trims is remained to be seen
Hopefully it will help reduce the taper and thicken up the ends...

Congratulations Night Kitten!

I almost forgot to post here. I've made it to classic finally! Being short waisted, losing a bit of weight and eating much healthier have all pitched in to make it happen sooner than I thought.

I don't really have a new length goal yet though...

Woo congratulations NightKitten and Gabriel!! 100 cm, and classic, wow!

I agree! Congratulations you two!

I'm personally just reaching "can I call this classic?"
The very tips of my hair when wet or pulled straight could be considered classic, but I'm hanging around until it's definitive.

I think I get to join this thread now! The definition of "tailbone" is a slightly fuzzy one, but as of tonight I'm at 38", which is somewhat longer than BCL and a bit short of the end of my actual tailbone. Yaaay! By my exceedingly accurate measurements, I should hit classic at 43.5". I can do 5.5", right? My taper isn't even too bad yet. C'mon, hair, grow faster!

Thanks everyone! I'll be hanging out here though until I get a few trims in next year and thicken my hemline up a little.
