I'm just lurking around, and I'll soon be joining this thread. I'm about 3 inches of growth from HL.

Ooh can’t wait to have you dark40 I’ll probably still be here when you reach hip! I found waist to hip went very fast - felt faster than BSL to waist tho I was still fixing my routine!

So, any big noticeable milestones at hip length for anyone? Personally, I felt as though at hip length I could finally start doing the Big Impressive Long Hair Buns we see so often here, instead of my usual cinnibun. I also can no longer do messy buns, which honestly is good because I think the elastics were the biggest cause of damage to my hair. I think vowing to never use elastics (at least near my scalp) is the single biggest reason I have finally been able to happily grow past BSL. So if anybody is here lurking like I used to... hint hint

ooh milestones

I've been able to make better and prettier bun too, although I havent really tried out a lot of different ones - I'll have to experiment with that! I mostly just twist and wrap my hair and plop a stick in it ^^' But! I can finally make twin buns that have some sort of both shape and size

I needed hair donuts for that before, but yesterday I made braided ones and they came out perfect

Ofc I didn't take a picture, but I think it's a hairstyle I'll be wearing a lot... cute!
I don't use elastics either, sometimes I use those tiny rubber bands for the veryyyy ends of my hair (in a braid), because I know I'll be trimming it at some point, or I use a scrunchie, but I haven't worn them near my scalp either since joining lhc when I found out it's a bad thing, haha.

But yeah back to buns, I've been wanting to try the nautilus bun, and also the magnificent braided buns I've seen in the bun thread... maybe with a paranda? :3
Also, thanks everyone for your kind words about my hair ^___^

Ooohweee! I also can't wait to join you too, Meggypoo Oh yeah, I'm expecting to reach hip by hopefully this summer or fall. Yeah, I know whatcha mean about feeling waist to hip going very fast - feels a lot faster than BSL to waist! That is so very true for me too. It seemed like my hair kept on stalling between MBL to WL.

I ended up getting to TBL twice....each time cutting back to HIP....but I am headed back to TBL again (just brushing BCL).

Most likely I will keep it between these 2 landmarks; I dust monthly and do hemline maintenance quarterly, so my length will be fluctuating.

You all look great ~ happy growing

Hey and welcome back Groovy Granny! Congratulations on making it to Hip Length and perheps onto TBL! And then also brushing BCL! You are so blessed to be at those lengths now! I can't wait to be at those lengths myself.

I'm looking forward to getting there sometime at the end of this year.

Thank you

I have a short and shrinking torso and it is mere inches between landmarks....so while I hit them fast, I am lacking the overall length others have = limited styles

There is only a few inches from Hip to BCL....and an inch or so from BCL to TBL.....so my hemline fluctuates with my trims.

You'll be here soon

Meggypoo I have only a few more bun options at TBL because I have less length than average, but my buns are not "Big Impressive '

They tend to compact because my hair is so fine and wispy, but at least they hold

You're welcome

Yeah, I also have a short torso too. I also bet that you are hitting them fast. Yes, with that length you are limited styles.

Yes, it only a few inches from Hip to BCL....and an inch or so from BCL to TBL....I bet your hemline does fluctuate with your trims. Mine does too but since I don't have to trim that often. It just stays the same.

Yes, I believe that I'll be here soon too

It depends on my mood....I usually dust the racers every month, and then quarterly I do hemline maintenance.

If I am shaping it or feel like having it a bit shorter I do it then....but it grows back over the next few months.

It's amazing how just an inch or so makes such a big difference in look and feel, so I don't snip much

I'm so in! I also missed a thread like this. I've been at hip since may-june last year, and still need some months to hit BCL (I calculated May...)

So happy you joined us

I am loving all your pics; for being at Hip you do so many gorgeous styles that eludes my shrinking torso/length... as we were just discussing.

Happy growing
