My hair goals are pretty modest - I'm the type to play it safe until I get a sense of how things progress. You know when you apply to college and you have a target school, safety, and reach? Well that's how I like to think of my hair goals.
As shown below (please excuse my poor posture...not sure what's going on there), my hair is currently shoulder length so that's my starting point (as of 6/2011)
My goals are: Updated as of 12/1/13
Target GoalReached: Full Armpit Length by8/1/20123/31/13 (2 year hair journey anniversary)- This goal is slightly above the first line on the length check t-shirt
- This goal is based on an average growth rate of 6 inches per year. Assuming I'm an average grower, this should be a reasonable goal. I measured the distance between my shoulder and armpit and it's about 5 inches
ReachGoal: Full Bra Strap Length by8/1/20123/31/14 (1 year after hitting full APL)- I think this is line 4 on the length check t-shirt (I'll confirm when I wear the t-shirt again); it's an additional 2.5 inches from armpit length
- This may be attainable if I'm slightly faster than average AND I'm able to do a good job of retaining length
- My ultimate goal is Mid-Back Length which will get a date assigned once I reach one of my other goals (I think this is around line
67): 9/30/14
I'll plan to post length checks every 3-6 months because as we all know, a watched pot never boils!
