January 2014 length update

The exam period is finished for me, so back to blogging about hair!

I wanted to do a length update post, so yesterday I took a couple of length shots in a break from revising for my last exam. Post-wash hair is usually the best pic-friendly hair for me, no clumpy ends, so it's when I usually take all the length shots to follow my growing progress (and comfy, baggy house-clothes star in most of them, but the real focus is the hair, so no matter...:) ).

My goal is knee-length...and I'm getting close! *squeee* I hadn't taken any length shot since October, or measured the length, and wow, it's already past mid-thigh!

January 27 length shot. Speaking of other things, I love how red the ends came out in the pic!

   Comparisons:

   -Last year and now: A bit past fingertip vs mid-thigh+

   -Last year, last October and now: A bit past fingertip, mid-thigh, mid-thigh+

I've been maintaining first at fingertip, then at mid-thigh, for a year or so, in order to thicken up my hemline a bit and get rid of the split ends that keep on appearing (the cons of fine delicate hair...:( ), but now I'm torn between maintaining here or growing to knee and then maintaining - because it's so close already! (there's a lot of cons about fine hair, but at least mine does grow fast, even at these lengths). 

 So I'll probably do a micro-trim on February, then keep on growing to knee. And then, I'll probably maintain there for a while, and, depending on the state of my ends, I'll maybe trim back to mid-thigh or even fingertip to get rid of most of the damage  (I'm still getting rid of the damage from the some years of neglect with 3-4 months apart trims). And then maybe I'll grow to knee-length again...or I'll stay at mid-thigh. Well, who knows :).
