My goal is waist length by Dec 05. I think I will make it the end of Dec 05, just in case. My hair is growing well (I have a little more than an inch at 8 weeks), but I was wondering what you ladies who are past bra strap to waist length did to preserve your hair? I did a trim last month so my ends are fresh. I am also transitioning. Any little tips would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
