2021 - Annual Goal Length Poll Part 1: Has Your Goal Length Changed?

**0xalis** · January 1st, 2021, 05:12 PM

I voted for "My goal length is now longer", "I am still growing toward my goal length", as well as "I have no goal"

My original goal was classic, but now I'm thinking there's no way I'm going to stop there... not with the LHC-itis I've developed lol!
Overall, classic is where I'm just hoping and praying I can get to with a decent hemline, but if I reach that I will probably keep going.
I voted "I have no goal" because I have no idea where I'll call it quits!

Over the previous year because the plan is to do this once every year. I'll add some language to that effect to the OP.

I'm so happy you started these polls, I think it'll be so interesting to see how goals change through the years. I'm one of those rare fellows with a shorter goal length but I'm definitely still growing towards it.
I'm APL and last year I started worrying that my terminal length would be much shorter than my dreamed goal length so I decided to shorten my goal length. Right now my goal length is Curly WL but as I measure my milestones stretched I believe it'd be around HL stretched.

Goal length reached and it hasn't changed in quite a while.

Goals? What goals?

At this point I am benign neglecting so hard I don't even know how long it is...Somewhere in the knee range.

Well, when I returned to LHC, I didn't really have a length goal. Now, I can say I've been influenced to go at least classic. Ultimate is terminal.

Ah! That would change my understanding of the question as I was already past hip at the start of this year. I don’t think I shall change my basic answer though. I still dodge between all the longer lengths and doubt how long it can grow/take care of it properly! My main goal is still MTL...

Ahh, very nice, polls! I joined LHC last January (yay, almost a year ago) and quite quickly decided my goal is Classic. Basically that hasn't changed - BUT there is a chance I won't grow to Classic, if my ends get bad. And there also is a chance I will grow past Classic, if my ends stay nice. But - for this year, my answers "my goal has not changed" and "I'm still growing" are valid.

EDIT: Hmmm... should I have answered "New to LHC and haven't had a goal before" instead of "my goal has not changed" since I joined and set the goal around January 15th 2020? neko_kawaii, can you work your magic?

Well, if we're talking about the previous year, then I'm just still working towards it.

In the time I've been at LHC? My goal length shifted from waist to hip, and has usually stayed there even though I've cut it up to shoulder length four or five times (I NEVER LEARN). In the last year or so I've been toying with BCL or TB (the longest it's ever been was just touching BCL), but my firm goal is to get all of it to hip, including my undershave. The undershave is currently around collarbone so it falls out of braids and tangles and drives me up the wall.

When I decided to grow my virgin hair, summer 2019, I understood my goal was classic. A solid classic, and it's my goal now too.
This year I grew from solid WL to almost BCL, definitely still growing.
