/images/graemlins/[email protected] and me both.

Congrats Sengs /images/graemlins/dance7.gif!!

I was 3.75 inches away from my goal (bra-strap) the last time I measured. I am not measuring again until January 1, 2005. *fingers crossed*

 

[felicia]

my next goal is waist length or just seven more inches of hair. i'm not exactly sure whats consider waiste length so i'm just going to go with 7 inches. i don't think i need more than 7 inches though.

 

[LEOLADYSW]

I am about 3 inches from brastrap. Another 6 months or so, if I have no real setbacks will do it!

<font color="red">Edited to add:</font> To stay on topic, my hair *was* brushing brastrap but [sigh] due to hairdresser error and dishonesty, I am back to hovering at 3 inches or so. /images/graemlins/cry3.gif I received a trim (read: cut) at the beginning of September and while my hair looks thick and healthy when down, it's also shorter. Who knows when I'll fully reach brastrap? [sigh] I do know that I'm not letting any more "professionals" trim my hair. After looking at DSD's instructions in her on-line album, I think I can do it.

Congratulations Sengschick!

Growitlong,
Your hair *has* grown, otherwise you would not have the same length after each trim; instead, it would get noticeably shorter (e.g., nape-length to jaw-length to ear-length and above). I know it seems counter-intuitive, but factoring in the trims, you won't see your total gain because it's been cut.

But! I understand your frustration. I've been/am there. However, once I tried the baggie trick, I was truly surprised at how quickly I was able to retain length...previously, I'd thought I'd done a good job with my ends by moisturizing them 2 times a day, sleeping in silk/satin scarves, etc. It didn't hold a candle to the baggie method.

I agree with everything Sengschick said. I don't know if you've tried taking supplements. I take a B-complex w/vit. C from Solgar, Viviscal, and, in the winter, vit. E (staves off dry scalp). MSM and 1000 mg of Pantothenic Acid (1 500- mg morning/night) have stopped shedding and thickened my hair, respectively.

My daily "diet" of mostly fruits and vegetables (even when my dh and I eat out, I'll eat the vegetables first and fill up on that before meat and starches), lotsa water, and scalp stimulation has been very helpful too.

Good luck, my sister in hair care and growing! /images/graemlins/wave.gif

I am already a little past bra-strap. I would eventually like to have classic, princess hair. I figure that will be another 2, possibly 3 years before I'm satisfied.

This thread is interesting because some of the people that replied have exceeded their goal.

My next goal is touching my shoulder blades. I HOPE to be there the next time I relax. I'm not measuring til July sometime.

 

[brownhaired_bonanza]

I'm not so good at measurements...last summer my hair was about bra strap length... waist length always sounded too unrealistic. But i suppose that's the new goal.

 

[Faith]

I'm about 2" from waist...

 

[Healthb4Length]

I think I'm about 4-5 inches from bra strap, I can't be too sure since I have not worn my hair straight for a year and a half. Check out my pics and maybe you can judge for yourself; http://public.fotki.com/nubian7/lenght_pic/ my password is moving if you have troubles getting in.

 

[iwantlongerhair]

I'm 6inches from bra strap

 

[Valerie]

I am 7 inches or nearly 18 cms from bra length.

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

Shoulder blades for me. I have about 4-5 inches I guess.

This is my original post.

I think I reached a goal without even realizing it!!

Here are compare pics(y'all know I love to compare ):

From May 7(which is about the same time I posted here)to Dec 23 ( I think the dates are accurate)

On to brastrap......I have about 6 inches to go. I think I will trim some thought to get rid of the see through ends but I can wait until after the baggie challenge is up!!

Looking great DSD! How many inches until you are there(BS)?

 

[GoingBack]

I am about 7 inches away from brastrap length in the back and "breast" lenght in the front.

 

[candibaby]

i'm 2 inches from my goal for june, 7 inches from brastrap.

now i'm only 4" away!

 

[hairlover]

i have about 4.5" left before i reach brastrap. hopefully that will be by may 2005

 

[Porsche19]

My ultimate goal is a loooooong time away Not even sure if I can do it.

My short term goal is to grow it to the point where it just grazes my shoulders and cut an inch off all around. That'll take about 6 months.... maybe.

My long term goal is waist length.

 

[Porsche19]

I'm so jealous of all of your with your long hair!

Alot of us have a long way to go Porsche. What makes it fun is watching people reach their goals.

In the meantime, focus on keeping your hair as healthy as possible.

I have about 3.5 inches to reach my next goal of 4 inches past bra strap (i will most likely reach my goal sometime in October) so i'm curious to know how much further everyone else has to go until they reach their next goal.

I guess i better update my goals since i've chopped. My new goal will be to add 5 inches by December 31st 2005 . -- jainygirl

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

Thanks!! I have about 6 more inches.

 

[mrslee]

I would like to have at least 4 inches by August! That would be a nice B-day present for me! Then another inch by December. That includes one trim in there somewhere. Crossing fingers!!

 

[Tai]

My next goal is armpit length. My best guess is that I'm about 3 inches away. I hope to be there by August 2005.

 

[SouthernGirl]

I'd like to have 4 more healthy inches then I'm DONE- going into maintenance mode after that (although I said I was done after I reached bra strap)

I figure if I can gain at least 6 inches in 2005, I can afford to chop at least 2 of those inches and still reach my goal and have healthy, thick ends.

 

[MonaLisa]

My next hair goal....is to get to armpit length...I plan to have pics up in my fotki before January is out...hopefully Southern Girl and mrslee can give me a good visual assessment of how much more I have to go.

In my mind...I see 6 inches.

[Carlie]

I'm hoping to be at my 2nd goal by the end of February and I'm hoping to reach my next "milestone" length by August of this year. This should be exciting!!!

 

[AudraChanell]

I am shooting for brastrap and praying I'll be there by June '05*lol*
