Waist Length in 2010

I can't stand it....I feel like a kid sitting outside her favorite candy store not being able to go in and pitching a royal hissy fit with Mom and all the bypassers.

Wishing you all the best. Truly :yep:

Mscocoface - standing outside looking into the window with her nose all mashed up against the window.....sighing.

Carry on.............
 
Just wanted to check in and say hi to everyone. I'm still hoping for waistlength...everyone is saying how looooong my hair is, but I don't see it. When I REALLY reach wsl I will be satisfied. I hope everyone is well. :grin:
 
I'm still in my sew-in. I'm planning to take it out next month. This has been the longest 16 weeks of my life! I'm still hoping for 2". I'll be MBL if I get it. Then, all I'll need is 2 more to WL. That should happen by summer.

I'm so excited!!!!

So i updated my siggy and put my Pikistrip in it...that way i won't have to keep linking to my Fotki.

I am soooooo close ladies!!! I'm gonna be babying my hair more until i get there.
 
Well, I went ahead and got a trim because my ends were starting to get thin. I don't think I've had a real trim since Oct. 09, which is probably the longest I've ever gone without one. I went to TGF Haircutters and supervised the lady while she trimmed 1 inch. I'm happy because my ends are full again, not stringy or tangled like they were before.

I'm still pressing for full WL in 2010, preferably by my 2-year LHCF anniversay in August. I am refusing to get discouraged!!!! This is the closest that I've ever been to having WL in my life. My thought is if my ends were able to enter the Waistlength zone before (as shown in the pre-trim photo), it can do it again with full ends. My strategy is to PS 24/7 and continue trimming as needed. I am so determined to get to full WL, and I want strong healthy ends like many of the success stories on this forum.

Pre-trim - You reallly can't see the ends because I had a lot of serum in them.

After the trim - Since I plan to PS for the next several months, I asked the haircutting lady not to try to even it up and make me lose length for the sake of neatness. I've think we've all fallen into the BC trap when a stylist tries to "even you up."

mzmomo go you!!!!
you're right there!

I'm hoping to make it to WL by years end. I'm bunning for a while and we'll see how retention goes. I feel like I'm almost MBL, but I'm not straightening for a comparison pic until april/may.

AWESOME PROGRESS GIRL!!! :woohoo:
 
I just flat ironed my hair for the first time in about 6 years and the relaxed ends are extremely super duper thin, but since I NEVER wear my hair straight, I'm keeping them for a while :grin:
If I cut, I'd be about APL.
Anywho, here are some update pics. I'm hoping for a growth spurt this year so I won't feel so bad whenever I decide to start cutting off the ends.

My right side is longer than my left side. I think I'm still mostly at MB/BS straightened. :perplexed
 
*Sigh* though all of the progress in this thread is getting me excited...
And though I just finished lacing my scalp with MN...
I'm still that annoying inch away from BSB...
Its almost April, and I'm not sure I'll make it this year- if I have to wait until June for BSB, then I won't make mid back till September (if that). Then WL will mot be here till abot March next year! Anyway I'll keep PSing (I fell off for a while and over manipulated causing the most breakage I've had in a while...) MNing (if I have money) and show the length check for BSB!
 
I had my hair straightened yesterday and decided to do a quick length check. I have no idea what I am as my hair stops below my bra but I know I am not full mbl. My sides do not grow as fast as the back and the middle. I have been losing weight and exercising like a fiend so maybe it is contributing to my growth, dunno.

So here is my length check as of March 2010. My friend took this pic of me in the diner and the other one was taken in my house while in my pjs wearing a ponytail. Be nice... :)

You ladies have made great progress!!! MzMoMo and SmilingElephant you two are definitely on track to reach waist length by the summer if not sooner :yep:.

Here are my March updates. I have made a lot of progress. My ends look thinner than they are in the pics because I am tugging them for dear life :grin:, but they are actually looking really healthy and are remarkably even considering my last real trim was about a year ago.

The first two pics show how much further away from my bra strap my hair is. In my December starting pic my hair came right to the bottom of the strap. The second two show the distance to waist; I am about an inch away :grin:.

ETA: the last pic is my original starting pic (just for comparison)

Thank you!

Girl I have no idea what to call it. I think it is safe to call it MBL but I get really unclear about what is what between BSL and WL. Your hair looks lovely by the way :yep:.

You definitely already have some ends touching WL. The ends may be thin but they don't look unhealthy. I would hold on to them as long as I could so the rest can catch up :grin:.
 
Small update. I think I'll reach sometime in the Summer. That was my original timetable. August will also mark 2 years on lhcf for me.

please excuse that my hair is always swished to one side, I take these pics by myself using the 2 sec delay on my camera and I have to turn around fast.
