When I tip my head back, my longest strands reach tailbone.

I'm assuming when your hair covers your chest

Yes, you are correct.

My family has been marveling at my hair this past year as it's the longest it's been in my life - I'm 23 - but I still consider it to be relatively short.

Today, I let my hair down from its bun for the first time during a break at work and my coworker brushed past me and said "Your hair is so long! It's pretty."

I was so taken aback that I stuttered out a thank you and had the biggest smile on my face while walking back from my break. First non-family member to comment on my hair and helped me realize I'm at a noticeable length!

My hair is now too long for my sleep bun, which I've been fighting for the past few weeks and doing it anyway

my sleep bun was pretty much a pony on the top of my head with the last of my hair pulled halfway through to make a loop, the loop is too big and floppy

DH suggested doing a "real bun" or a braid, so I dutch braided it last night. I think I might need to break out a ficcare for sleep bun 2.0... maybe my larges would work again?

That's a mini-milestone for sure, growing out of a style! By the way, your hair is very, very pretty, the kind of hair I'd like to have if I didn't have my own :-)

I just saw I am moving past BCL. So, from here on I think my journey will be more fun, since I am now moving past what's "normal" lenght. Next mini milestone will be sitting on my hair, I guess...?

I dunno, that sounds like a pretty big milestone to me!

And definitely the entrance to the ultra long hair category in my book at that point!

My braid tassel is below the bottom of my bra band.

Oh shucks, thank you

that means a lot, because I'm still on shaky ground about my hair!

Ah yes, the good old sitting on your hair phase... there was many a time where I'd do that and pull my head back because I wasn't expecting it

be careful!
