Classic | Fingertip | Mid-thigh | Knee

[harpgal]

I am just short of 53 inches and at lower thigh. Knee is 55 inches. I definitely have a taper going on but I still trim every 3 months. My plan (that's a new one for me ) is to maintain at knee.

Hair this length is a challenge. It is beyond the reach of my hands and combing has become a several stage event. The ends tangle. As a matter of fact, the whole thing tangles. I'm not sure I like this length but it is fun to see if I can get to knee length once in my life. Classic is still my favorite.

I've been at classic seemingly forever. It's grown a few inches, but still not enough to call it thigh. Good thing I'm patient.

I'm a little bit past knee, and maintaining there for a while to let the shorter hairs catch up.
And hopefully get a fuller hemline.
My final goal is ankle, but for now I'm sticking with knee

Even if your final goal isn't necessarily knee - *cough*Amoretti*cough* - you're still welcome to post your thoughts, trials, routines, successes, failures and milestones. And everything else in between!

Well, I'm already back at thighs after 2 recent trims back to classic from mid thigh. As usual, I have no idea where I'm heading but I'm enjoying having thick, blunt ends again after so long.

My new fave conditioner is Herbal Essences Hello Hydration. The evil Dove is jealous but will just have to deal.

IF I thought my hair would be OK at knee, I might try it. But it is already wimping out on the ends at classic. And like Harpgal's, it tangles pretty bad unless I comb very carefully. I'm afraid it would be a big, enormous mess.

I'll be hanging out over here -------> finish line
waiting for you all. Let me know when you get here. I have cold water bottles and sweat towels to pass around.

See ya in a couple of years!! lol

Cool thread!
I am nowhere near classic(may never get there!), but I will be haunting this thread to see all the beautiful classic and beyond hair!

I just hit knee-proper (I think) which is about 55" on me.

I've given thought to maintaining a while, but I doubt I'll muster the gumption to actually trim. Especially when I consider how old my ends are, it'll thicken when the better treated hair grows out. (My ends about probably about 7-8 years old! In 2001 I was still treating my hair badly.... until about October, 2005 )

I´m about 4" away from kneelength and it seems I need to re-learn how to comb it . Just now I´m at the stage of ´entertaining acrobatics´ when combing, but I´m sure there must be a better way to detangle it, even though my hair is longer than my arms can reach. I obviously need to grow longer arms.
Otherwise I´m in benign neglect mode since hmmm forever. I mostly ignore my hair and it grows pretty much perfect imo.

I generally comb my hair while sitting, with the hair on one leg, until I get up to the length that won't touch my leg, obviously.
