Thank you everyone!

Thank you! On occasion it does feel quite long. I've had a few comments from friends. I kept my hair at my shoulder for a long time, so it's pretty different at this length. I last cut it back to my shoulder in December of 2022, though I've had some trims since. I believe you'll be there quite soon!

My hair is 74 cm/ 29 inches and it’s 100% at waist now. It took me two years from shoulder length to get to waist! Very happy, but I’m kind of annoyed at the layers that still need to be grown out.

Taking advantage of that hair behaves today I'm joining the thread

It's not a solid midback but not much left and I'm really eager to come here and grow to waist.

Wow your hair must grow really fast

It really does! My boyfriend measured my hair and I can’t believe it’s that long already. I keep it up or in braids all the time, I don’t dye it or heat style it.

Congrats on the milestone Croww and welcome Paulownia!

My hair feels nearly at waist when completely wet, but I've resolved to not measure or check until I get to the estimated date that the excel sheet gives me for waist length... which is mid-August. So I guess I'll spend the next three months wondering whether I'm just really bad at measuring milestones, or if my hair really does extend that much when wet ha ha

The best way for long hair retention

I have a few strands at WL and I'm relieved/pleased. This means I'm moving in the right direction although it'll be a yr before I can claim this milestone.

It's so hard to resist the urge to check all the time!

Yay! That's exciting! I'm in the same boat, waiting for layers to catch up before I call it.
