    I trimmed back to waist from nearly hip in March. I'm reaching back for hip now, I've got a few inches to get back there.

    Congratulations on graduating to the next thread, LauraLongLocks!

    I dipped my toe in the waist to tailbone thread, but really this is where it's at for me for a while yet. Originally I was going for waist length hair, then I thought hip would be my final goal, but now I think I wouldn't mind hair that was just a bit longer. Finns have a proverb along the lines of "you get hungrier as you eat", and I'm certainly proving that to be true when it comes to growing hair.

    It's been about a month since I did my very first self-trim and I haven't measured my growth, but I'm planning on maintaining somewhere between waist and hip, possibly letting my hair creep towards hip length and beyond but not stressing about it. I've found a few splits already and snipped them off with my fancy scissors, and I'll be trimming off a bit more in a month.

    I think most of my taper now is down to just rough handling, so hopefully putting some benign back in my neglect will help remedy it. I comb and brush my hair a lot less now than I did when I first came to LHC, which is probably good for my hair.

    I'm still sort of in the funk I complained about earlier, I have a feeling I should be doing something a bit more interesting with my hair but I tend to default back to a Dutch braid. I lust after Ketylos and hair forks but can't really justify the prices to myself. I did try a crown braid for May 1st, but my husband kindly informed me I look like Yulia Tymoshenko so I'm not sure whether to classify that as a success (her braid is massive) or a failure (apparently I look like someone imitating a Ukrainian milkmaid).

    Thank you. You know, an inexpensive plastic hair stick can work until you decide to invest in a more expensive hair stick or fork. There's nothing wrong with a dutch braid, though. Sounds like you have a good plan for maintaining and thickening your hair, and that you've figured out the cause of your taper. Good luck!

    Thank you for the tip, LauraLongLocks! I do have a pair of el cheapo plastic hairsticks, as well as a few repurposed chopsticks, so I can experiment with stick-held buns. The smooth straight sticks tend to slide out of my hair quite easily though, which is why I'd love a more curvy one. And on a purely vain note, the chopsticks are long enough to make my buns look tiny.

    I think part of the general blahness is due to what's being discussed in another thread - I've reached my intermediate goal and this is where patience comes into the picture. Not purposefully growing further means I won't see much tangible progress in the foreseeable future. But there's a thicker braid tassel waiting for me at the other end!

    I don't really belong on this thread (still an inch to go!) but just have to comment on this. I got the exact same remarks, independently, from three different members of my family in Finland when I last visited. I was wearing crown braids well before every was paying so much attention to Tymoshenko's hair! But definitely take it as a compliment - her hair is huge.

    Katlette, wow! Now I'm wondering if maybe Finland as a nation has an unhealthy obsession about Ms Tymoshenko's hair.

    I don't know if it's backlash from the crown braid but I'm trying to wear my hair down today, in an effort to shake things up a bit. It's really hot under here, how did I do this as a teenager? I'm slowly starting to understand all the longhairs who seldom leave their glorious manes down!

    I know the feeling... my cheap hair sticks are 7.5 inches long, and make my bun look so puny. Cheap hair sticks worked until I was able to get some new fun hair toys though.
