Gorgeous hair; your braid's tassel is so well behaved!

I finally feel I can join this thread, I have cut my hair back to waist for ages and now I think it is thick enough for the next goal. However s&d keeps my hair from growing fast

@WaitingSoLong: Your hair is gorgeous.

Thanks for the compliments.

I am officially BCL now, I checked, checked and rechecked yesterday. I was in disbelief so I measured my hair several times as well and I am just shy of 37", again in disbelief because I was at 36" on August 29th. So that is almost an inch in 6 weeks. Yay! That microtrim really halted some breakage! I have had phenominal growth since then. That or it was just time for a growth spurt. But I was only getting 1/4" per month there for awhile. Also, I am TBL when wet but just barely. I do not gain much length when wet because my hair is rather straight. BCL to TBL is like an inch on me.

Maybe I will reach TBL before my goal date in December, but I am picky enough about "true TBL" that I will probably not be secure about TBL until then anyway. Finally progress!

I was looking at pics from a year ago and I am not much longer than I was then. I had a 4" trim in there, plus another inch and a microtrim. But it is discouraging to go back a year and not really be able to see a difference. I am hoping 2011 will see some new lengths for me. On to classic soon!

Welcome, ilovelonghair!

Congrats on reaching BCL, WaitingSoLong. I hope you reach your goal by December. If things continue at the rate of the last few weeks, I'm sure you shall!

Why? Do you need to cut that much off during S&D missions?

Hello lovely ladies and gents, I'm finally at waist so I can join this thread.
Is tailbone defined as the top or bottom of the tailbone? I'm not even sure how to tell exactly where my tailbone is!?

Welcome newcomers!
Harriet, TBL is a bit different for each person. TBL is usually the bottom of your tailbone. You just have to feel it, the knobby thing below BCL.
