    Hi there:

    Here are my milestones.

    Chin: 9.5"
    Shoulder (SL): 12.5"
    Armpit (APL): 18"
    Bra Strap(BSL): 20"
    Waist (WL): 25"
    Hip (HL): 30"
    Butt Crack (BCL): 34.5"
    Tailbone (TBL): 36"
    Classic (CL): 40"
    Mid Thigh (MTL): 42"
    Knee (KL): 46"

    I'm at 38" right now, so past tailbone and heading into "classic" territory (which was my original goal) but given that my ends are really fairytale'd, I don't think I'm going to have a solid hem at classic length if I even get there. I'm suspecting that, for me, 38" may very well be terminal length.

    I recently posted my measures in cm on my blog so here they are:

    NL 44.5 (17.5")
    SL 48.5 (19")
    APL 60 (23.5")
    BSL 69.5 (27")
    WL 76 (30")
    HL 89 (35")
    BCL 95.5 (37.5")
    TBL 101.5 (40")
    CL 112 (44")
    FTL 122 (48")

    Hahaha at least it's not just me! I don't think my hair is moving down my forehead, so the only other thing I can think of is that my posture has improved, which I suppose is a good thing, outside of reaching hair milestones, anyway!

    hopefully it is a false terminal and the rest of your hair catches up to your ends then keeps going

    Oh, thank you! I didn't think about it like that. Here I was racking my brains trying to figure out how the measurements could be so different. I never thought about my posture

    Chin: 30cm / 11.8"
    Shoulder (SL): 43cm / 16.9"
    Armpit (APL): 52cm / 20.5"
    Bra Strap(BSL): 59cm / 23.2"
    Waist (WL): 74cm / 29.1"
    Hip (HL): 83cm / 32.7"
    Butt Crack (BCL):96cm / 37.8"
    Tailbone (TBL): 106cm / 41.7"
    Classic (CL): 114cm / 44.9"
    Mid Thigh (MTL): 122cm / 48"
    Knee (KL): 137cm / 53.9"

    I've put centimeters first because inches are confusing xD They're not accurate at all, and google translated everything so... it's something I'm 1,69cm / 5'54" (I think)
    My hair right now is 80cm / 31.5" so I'm mid way between WL and HL

    Same (long torso)! I'm 5'9 and waist for me is 33" which is my next milestone. I haven't measured past that because the mid-back abyss is REAL! I've been here forever and there seems to be no end in sight (sigh).

    I never bothered to measure in centimetres and I'm too lazy to!
