Welcome to the butt thread, Ylva! Rather, the “grow longer than your butt” thread

I’m glad your hairdresser didn’t chop too much - I stopped going years ago because I always felt like when I asked for an inch they’d do three.

Thank you, Meggypoo! I've been in the other thread for a while, actually my hair was hip length for an eternity - many years before I even joined the LHC. Then I grew to TBL, but chopped halfway between hip and BCL to get rid of super thin, damaged ends. I hear about hairdressers cutting off way too much very often, so I was really surprised to have the opposite experience. When I went in for a microtrim, I requested that she take off 1 cm, but she took even less that time as well. That's why I'll reach BCL sooner than expected now.

I will, however, stall myself at TBL to get rid of more damage before continuing onwards to classic.

ETA: Oh, and congratulations for hitting HL! Just saw your post about that. Your hair is beautiful!

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

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.

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 ^___^

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

Oops! double-posted sorry.

Hello and welcome Milady_DeWinter! So happy you've joined us! Wow, your braid is gorgeous! I know the feeling of being at the same length for a long time now since may-june of last year. You'll make it BCL sometime this year I think. I'm also hoping to hit BCL at the end of this year also.

Happy Growing
