Your hair is gorgeous! And I do love your blonde next to your blue uniform! 😍

Knee is about 140 cm on me, FTL is 128. I think my hair grows about 10-15 cm a year, so the math says it is possible for me to reach (my hair might not agree

)

Yay!

Thank you Vacurlylady. My hair can look really bland but the blue is such a nice contrasting color. I also like black. It is such a blessing to be able to see/share journeys with all the folks here. I see so many beautiful elegant 'hairs' here and feel joy that I can be a part. No one in my usual life really understands my desire to grow my hair. So this site is wonderful and all is you here make it very special.

Well, not me... my goal used to be knee, but this year I decided I prefer shorter hair that I can wear down, straighten occasionally, and just damage a bit without having a heart attack.
I also realised it was growing too slowly, and with my texture it might not even look great... I like thicker ends, but unfortunately my hair is so fine that they end up a bit dry all the time. And I don't know... I just want to stop making hair the center of my life (my family life has more than helped in that regard :/). I will focus on other body features this year.
I still think knee is lovely and what is "wow their hair is extremely long", so I wish luck to those trying.
And zashin, your hair is just amazing. I've said it already, but it's worth repeating.

Well in real life I'm mom, daughter, and nurse. So this is my 'guilty' pleasure. I can put up my hair in a braid or bun and it 'disappears' and then I can enjoy it in private moments. (Nutthin' kinky here folks..... Just move on along about your business... Nutthin' to see...)

Thank so much. I just posted to the Patene love thread about how I'm dependent on their sleek product for my coarse horse hair to feel soft and have nice slip. With out that I'm dead in the water with dry looking fibers that do not look anything like fairy tale hair.

Yeah, I get that, but with a 5 month old I don't find much time for myself yet. Maybe when he's a little older. These days I just put it up with claw clips, and sometimes go without brushing it until I go out somewhere.
The free time I have I end up spending cleaning, cooking, or taking a shower... but I really hope the situation improves, specially when I'm done BF because that takes up waaay too much time.
I might consider growing longer later on, that's why I'm maintaining at a length from where it wouldn't take so long to get there.
I do enjoy the freedom or mind ease that maintaining gives me. I still stress about split ends or think twice before straightening it, but it's no longer such a big worry.

zashin66 what a beautiful head of hair you have. I'm 71 inches tall and it's quite a hair journey for us tallies, isn't it. By the way, I'm a nurse, too!

I've been hovering just above knee for quite some time. DD actually said it was at knee at one point, before my huge Fall shed. Now I'm not so sure. Wondering if I've hit terminal but I've had stalls before.

My plan for 2019 is to eat and sleep and exercise well and try to take care of my stress levels. So far so good, maybe this will jump start my growth.

Ya I get that. I remember vividly those times. My kiddos are 12 & 13 currently. Enjoy that baby because the time goes so fast and before you know it your planning for when they want their first car.....

Zashin So beautiful. I love your waves. It makes it more alive. Just gorgeous. You and Lapushka seem to have very similar hair but different colours. Lets have a next year full of super long haired folks.
