SmilingElephant's Hip-Tailbone Challenge 2026

[Angel of the North]

I think I'd have to be Classic Length for that!

Me too..... My shrinkage is so crazy that I didn't realise I'd hit WL until I'd trimmed back to MBL and did a length check

We will get there, probably a lot sooner than we think and all

It's about to be July. My last pic was in May...I feel like I might be at WL by now...hmmm

I hadn't been paying much attention to my growth in June.

Waiting on the reveal with bated breath….

I look forward to having so much hair I don't pay attention :

I support this, I second this, may this happen for us

 

[SmilingElephant]

Y'all don't do me, nie!

Not bated breath!

I really hadn't paid attention to it...I was sick and went to the hospital and the doctor's office. It took me WEEKS to bounce back.

I'm like 80% better. I still keep having anxiety attacks and I'm still battling a depressive episode.

Maybe this weekend I'll do a length check. I'm probably not even waist length but when I was washing my hair in the shower a few days ago it felt very close.

On another note, I’m happy you’re feeling better

 

[SmilingElephant]

alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright ALRIGHT!

So I did a length check today (weren't we supposed to be doing June length checks? I dunno I was completely out of it last month)

Still not fully WL but closer than I was back in May.

Please excuse all of those boxes... they're going out today

I suck at taking length pics

 

[Angel of the North]

@SmilingElephant You are very close! I think you will get there comfortably by the end of the year, including any trims. You could potentially surpass WL by a little.

I'm trying to think of a good hair gift to give myself for being back in WL territory

I already got every THANG

I was thinking about getting the hair perfume from LUS Brands (Love Urself/ Love You Curls). I actually like their products.

 

[SmilingElephant]

So this is my hair today! Not a lot of definition, but I got carefree curls!

I love my penguin pj's Sitting in my favorite spot

ETA: I forgot to mention I used LUS Brands products. The shampoo, conditioner, curly all-in-one, and their sea moss gel

You look really cute I'm looking at your shrinkage, that's roughly the length of my WAG sits at when the humidity starts acting out, it sits at my shoulders otherwise. I'm desperate to find some anti humidity products and heat protectants. I really want to do a rollerset but, there's not much point while it's so hot *sigh* I may try and get some Sabino, that came up repeatedly in the old threads......

The humidity here is so stupid I don't even fight it anymore
