You can join before you're "officially" WSL, but from the growth pregress you've made lately I'd say within/before 6 months you'll be at WSL already.

Well I'm finally WSL, just the back of my hair so I'm claiming it, the front has some catching up to do, but my hair was always uneven due to some layers and it grows in a V-shape naturally. I've updated my fotki. WSL party ladies. :woot:

Wow, it is so pretty. I really like the way it has caught up in growth to become more even. When you try to tell folks this they just won't believe it.
 
Man this is inspiring me to keep going. I am almost at WL (maybe in 4 months) but once I get there I will shoot for hip. (That may take me another year.)
 
I really enjoy this thread, too! I agree with Flowerhair about the creeping along of your hair once you hit waist length. It is s-l-o-w. But Flowerhair, Cichelle, Sweet Cashew and LaLa are already there! I have another four inches to go. I may have reached my terminal length.

Congratulations on making waistlength, Lucia!

I don't think so. From what I have read, you have to go for at least 2 yrs up to 6 yrs (avg growth cycles) without any increase in length before you can consider that you may be at terminal. I know you have had increased length in the last 2 yrs. So, keep on growing, chica! :grin::yep:

Chicoro,

I've noticed when I don't trim my hair for a few months my hair doesn't seem to grow as fast. I know we've debating to no end on this forum about trimming and growth but this is what I've observed with my hair for years.

I was getting about 1.5 inch a month until I cut my hair nearly 5 weeks ago. I swear my hair grew almost 3 inches this last month. I cut it to just at waist. When I took a pic two weeks later, my hair had already grown out the blunt look. Now it's touching the top of my butt.

I didn't do anything different with it, just wash every 3 days, airdried and wore braid outs.
It just seems to me that when I cut it, it kinda tricks the hair. It's almost as if my hair wants to get back to the length it was so I get a growth spurt.

Don't hang me ladies for saying this, but there must be some relation to growth and trimming.

Love your siggy pic. Gorgeous.

On topic
I think it works the same way as when you're on a diet and you've hit a plateau. You eat normal for a few days then go back on the diet and suddenly you're losing weight again.
If your hair has stalled, just give it a nudge with a lil' trim.

I can't believe i have been on the hair boards so long ..lol
Congrats !
all you longer haired ladies have inspired me .. I want to join .. but I need to get a digi cam first .. I'm relaxer free and my hair is BSL now when blow out .. neck length when curly
I have got to get a fokti lol I'm so lazy and abusive , I take my hair for granted ... i would have had ankle legth by now LOL
I will be raiding you albums and stealing tips ! lol i fact i think i will get my sister on board as well so i have a partner .. i will be ckecking back in with pics soon!
all of you have beautiful hair !
 
Congrats Lucia!

Ahhhh to dream what seems like the impossible dream. But slowly inch by inch I am getting there. Some days it feels like nothing is growing, other days growth galore.

Even with this inconsistency it is still consistently growing so I will take it.

I hope to be WL in 09 and can claim hip in 2010/tailbone in 2010. I have a short midsection so maybe that will work to in my favor. Depending on the growth spurts. :yep:

Keeping hope alive!!! You all are an inspiration!!!

The one thing I do know is that you, dear lady, have the fastest growing hair of anyone I know, and that's whether you trim it or not. What a blessing! :)

thanks ladies, I couldn't have done without the ladies on this board. Hip/tailbone is my ultimate goal, before I was just dreaming about it now I'm talking about it and seeing it as a reality as my short-term goal, WOW that's mind-blowing. I've kicked it up a notch with ayurveda, so I may be posting more progress sooner than I think. :)
 
I am so jealous... I want my hair at hip without stretching. when curly and dry its only shoulder/armpit. stretched the longest (right now) mid/lower back ???:ohwell: IDK
