I couldn't stop staring at it. It was gold with Chinese writing on it and it's left arm kept waving up and down. My hair is at midback, but I'm still waiting for it to actually look midback when styled...and dry. Currently, it looks just a bit longer than bsl.

Reply #4 - Sep 16^th, 2008 at 11:37am Oh, Drear, you've hit one of those lengths that are annoying until it grows past. I think these are the hardest times to resist cutting. We want it to look good while its growing, right? You'll get through it and then its like a sigh of relief and happiness about the new styles you can do with the new length!!! Be patient!! (((hugs)))

Hi W4LL, I am almost mid-thigh (fingertip) but I am not sure how much longer I am going to grow. I am having an attitude now. I have about 5 inches till I get to my knees which was an all-time goal for me. Lately I have been going back and forth about that. I have a lot of hair. I have been cutting off damage this summer, so I dont know if I will let gain any more length (let it continue to grow). I am actually liking it here. Grin

My goal is tailbone (then maybe classic) and it's only at midback. But if it were straight.... that's a different story.

I haven't had a trim for a while... aww. Growing out curls must be awful! But curls do look gorgeous most of the time. And I agree, tail bone curls would be stunning!

Hi! Long time since I posted last.

I did a 5" cut this summer. Got lovely, thick, healthy ends. Then found out it wouldn't bun so well as the thick ends were all in one clump and I couldn't secure them Huh

As my hair is slowly growing out some more, the updos are getting easier again

Anyway, I did make it to waist length, maybe a little more before I cut it. So now it is between mid-back and waist.

Welcome back Precious! Congrats on hitting waist length before your cut. I'm sure the updos will get easier as it grows - I've had the same issue when I've done big cuts too. One trick I've used - do a couple of french braid plaits before starting the rope for your bun. This will redistribute the length a bit and make the ends easier to work with.

I'll have to see if I can be that coordinated early in the morning . It's been about 3 months since I cut it, so it is beginning to get better already.
