Apparently still growing


I was really looking forward to see my length shots. I honestly had no idea just how long my hair is getting and in what state my ends are in.
Once you reach a certain length it becomes impossible to get a real look at your ends yourself. You turn into an eager dog hunting for your tail when you do that.


So I was pretty surprised to see that my ends are still fairly thick, if they haven’t even thickened up!
I really had assumed I would be approaching terminal length by now.

Once you approach terminal length, your ends will thin out a lot.
Before hair sheds to repeat the growth cycle, they enter a resting phase where they don’t grow. This means a true terminal length has extreme taper since not all hairs grow to the same maximum length anyways.

People who are at real, true terminal length usually have just a few hairs that are super long, so if your ends resemble a blunt cut just remotely, you are not near terminal.

Pretty surprising, but I guess I still have a bit of growth left in my scalp. Question is how much longer I will like it.

Windy video

11 years hairniversary


Hubby thought it was a good idea to take the pictures outside so we had to rush a bit to catch the little bit of daylight we got.  
As you can see, it was pretty windy!




Then we got too cold and went indoors. But by then, the light had gotten pretty bad, so this is the best we could do.


Happy anniversary to me! 

Today’s hair


Bit of improvisation here… The glittery “scrunchies” are way too small to go over the bun, but I hooked them through each other and looped them over the ends of the Flexi 8. They even covered the Flexi 8 perfectly. I likey.
