Hair Tracker April 2024 - 38.5"

 Heya, everyone! I'm back, just letting my hair grow out and haven't really been active online lately, but I thought I'd pop in with a length update! My hair is currently 38.5"! 

 

 

I've been finding it a bit difficult to get back in the swing of things, but I've gotten a chance to try out the new Feathelas salve from Nightblooming, and have so far liked it! I'll probably post a review soon of my various haircare products I've been enjoying lately. 

 

Thank you so much for reading and following my blog! :D

 

Until next time!

Hair updates, ramblings, and a new-ish home!

 Heya, friends! I know it's been a long time, but I'm here and growing my hair!

Not long after that last post, I was in a car accident and wound up cutting my hair back to shoulder length! It was about 18" after my big ol' chop. (And sadly, I don't have any good pictures!)

These days, my hair is brushing 34.5", and I'm on my way back to tailbone length! 

My hair is always something I enjoy doing, learning new styles, etc., but as of late, I've been in a bit of a funk trying to get myself to try new styles. 

So, I've been popping back in to one of my favorite sites, the LHC. And! I'm also going to be blogging primarily over there from here on out using the blog feature- though you do have to be a member over there to read it. (Of course, I'll still pop in here with updates, too, but I highly encourage you to get an account over there so you can read my random blogs and hang out with lots of nice longhairs!) 

I recently did a cute little low braided cinnabun with a two-stranded rope braid. The clip is a beautiful kanzashi from JuLVa on etsy!

I'll be stopping by at the end of the month to talk hair tracker updates, and post some length shots! See you all! :)

I'm baaaack. Hair Tracker Update (Reboot!) Part I : March 2021

 Hey everyone! Uh oh, I haven't updated in a really long time.

I mentioned it, but in 2018, after my hair hit my goal of knee length, I cut it back. My hair then reached classic again, and then I cut it back to less than 30" in late 2019. (It was around BSL) I had not had hair so short in years! It was a fun change, but eventually, I decided I'd wanted to grow it back out again, so here I am! :)

Here is my hair today- at 34.5"! I am pretty happy with it overall. Lately I've fallen back into using a deep conditioning treatment every wash, and a cassia treatment every other week. Protein makes its way into my routine about once a week, and I do a diluted henna treatment about once a month or so, just to bring in a bit more red than what I have in my hair naturally. :P

So...in short, not much has changed. My routine is still pretty similar- I have my old standby favorites, and a couple of new loves (I've been using Pantene's Sleek and Smooth conditioner as my last conditioner when I wash and it really leaves it soft and tangle-free)

Here's hoping this is a good year for growing (and other things, too, haha)! I hope maybe by December I'll be close to 38" or 39", we'll have to see! :)

Until next time.

Throwback to Knee-length

I was digging around and I found this picture of a braided style I was doing a lot last year. When my hair was at its longest, which was just around knee length, I found that wearing braids was not very practical. I always enjoyed styling my hair in this way, though. It's a braid...it's a bun! It's a half-updo!

I always liked it because I thought it was cute, and I could wear my braid sort-of down and enjoy it. When I try to do this style now, it looks...well, a bit less impressive. Oh well! I'll be back to knee in no time, then I'll get to really enjoy this style again!

Hopefully I'll find some time (and a good spot) to take an updated length picture.

See you all next time!

A trim back to TBL, and other such ramblings.

Hey all.

Sadly, not long after my last length post in September, I became extremely sick. I'm still not better yet, and it's been going on over two months now.

It was hard, but I made the decision to cut my hair back to TBL- I have had a hard time being able to care for my hair lately, and ultimately decided this would be a good place to hang out while I get my health issues sorted.

The great thing is, though, that my hair is so slippery and soft, and tangle-free after my trim! It has been nice to have manageable hair!

Of course, I'll be growing back out, but am currently enjoying my hair at this length. My plan is to grow back out to knee again! It'll take a while, but I hope you guys continue to follow my hair journey! :)

Hair Tracker Part 26: September 2018

It's September already?! Wow, this year is going by quick!

I've been doing a bit of maintenance on my hair to help the ends stay nice and even (it's a constant battle, haha), since it seems to want to grow into a V-shape hemline. I've been doing a few small trims here and there- up to 1/2 inch a couple of months ago, which is why it doesn't really surprise me that my hair is 50" right now.

 

At this point, I'm really close to knee- within a few inches, at most. Probably 2-3? It's a bit hard to judge exactly.  

Anyway, I'll keep growing- keep following me! Let's see where I go :)

6 Years of Growing- Hair Tracker Part 25: February 2018

Hello, everyone! It's been a while since my last update! Sorry about that.
But, as I've said, my hair is growing, and today, I HAVE PICTURES!

6 years have passed since I decided to start growing my hair long. I started off with a 16", chin-length bob, and now my hair is between classic and knee length.

My hair now is hovering around 48"- four feet! Wowzers!

48"! And today, a special guest appearance by my cat, who refused to move during my picture, so I figured I'd just leave him in. He's cute, anyway!

My hair seems to be getting a bit of a strange hemline- prooobably because I haven't been maintaining it very much! Sometime around May, I'll probably go in and straighten it out...as I've done every year.

Well, until next time, everyone!
