    Default waist maybe?? am I? should I trim?

    am i waist yet?? my hands are at waist in the pic... as you can see my ends are curled but are really close... can i call it waist yet?? im standing perfectly straight in the pic but my head usually points slightly downward
    also look at my ends... they are thin because of layers... i want to eventually trim them off but i wanted to wait until it was really neccisary to keep it looking good... so am i waist and do you think the time is right to trim???...

    this was taken today... the ends curl alot... like really stretched out spirals
    can i call this classic length

    I am pretty sure that I would trim to thicken up those ends, but only 1/2 inch (plus/minus) every 3 months or so as long as they're in good shape. I can't tell from the picture, of course. What do you think?

    Looks like waist to me.
    Your hair is beautiful squiggyflop
    As for the trim that's up to you , if you trim now it won't be waist anymore will it , if you wait a bit longer till it's past waist then trim it would still be waist.

    Why not enjoy the fact that you got to waistlength and trim a half inch in a month or two? I don't think your ends look bad at all. Congrats on reaching waist!

    ahh so it is waist... its been waist while wet for a while now im glad to know that its waist dry now... hmmm you are right i have waited all this time for it to reach waist, it would be a shame to lose some of it... but look at those thin ends... grr it still has layers from the awful haircut i started growing from...

    I know how you feel...it's waist but....the ends are thin. I'd trim a teeny amount then wait a while and trim either again a teeny bit or trim a half inch or so.

    I'd first off decide what's more important to you, waistlength, or loosing the layers. Personally i think that your hair looks lovely and wouldn't trim yet. I'd let it grow another half an inch or so then trim so that you can keep your hair at or past waistlength. But if they are really bothering you and you desperately want to get rid of the layers then if you trim no more than half an inch then you'll be back to waist in a month or so anyway which isn't really very long to wait.

    Hmmnnn i'm not much help am i! Ok, personally i rekon wait a bit longer.....but ultimately it's you who has to be happy with your hair.

    Looks like waist to me, and I cannot believe the growth you've had since august of last year, Amazing. Do you grow an inch a month?

    Oh yes - I forgot to say; it definitely is waist length, which was a huge milestone to me, so I assume it is for you too. Congratulations! If your ends aren't dried out and splitting, I think you would do well to wait another month or so before you trim 1/2 inch. That way you won't lose waist length. The first time I got to waist length, I went in for a 1/2 inch trim but started yakking away about wanting to get the layers evened up, so she trimmed 2 inches to help me with my layers problem. I should have kept my mouth shut! It took me probably another 5 months to get back to waist length.
