10+ years into my longer hair journey( started in 2005)and deciding on the perfect length.It's been an amazing Journey! I plan to trim a little (or a lot) at a time to find where my hair still has length,a healthy thicker hemline and a more practical length.I will never have short hair, so please don't worry! Health over length from now on! All trim details, photos & videos will be posted here. Thanks for visiting. JJJ

NEW VIDEO 4u2c
See a self trim Youtube video of only trimming about 3/4 inch.
I am planning to cut a lot more in the spring or summer of 2026.
Try self trimming! Its great. My hair is now 62" mid/lower calf.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I plan to maintain my hair at this length and
possibly grow to 60" again but we will see. Finger tip length is also a favorite length but I am not ready to go that short. Keep checking back here and do leave a comment! You can also reach me at Repunzel4u2c@yahoo.com
I made a new video showing the length at 68" and show where I plan to trim it.This is my thumbnail from the video...
I can try posting the video here but it does not always show on the BLOG on mobile devices(I just discovered this and many people are having issues, but I can still post animated gifs!) so I am including the LINK to the video as well so EVERYONE can see it...
This video is doing well and has had 600 views in 4 days...but I am making it unlisted, which means you can only see it if you have the link or look in the hair down playlist onYouTube.(or come here)
I will cut it soon...I don't really like how the ends look in the video and I really JUST WANT TO TRIM IT ALL OFF ASAP!!! πThe lighting makes my hair ends look dry, but its really not dry at all.
I have had positive comments and 56 likes and really appreciate people being so kind...but the longer it stays up the more people may comment and negative comments will come. (trying to keep positive)
Thanks for reading!ππππ
Large animation- see video for more!
π₯ Happy New Year to all!! Stay safe!!
πHelp me build my channel in 2021 as it helps motivate me!!
My last post was when the pandemic was just starting in March 2020. I have been ok so far and I hope all of you have been too.
As far as my hair length, today it is about 67-68". I just trimmed 3" to get it off the floor.
Improving the hem is difficult and after trimming for a long time I see a small improvement but really need to trim it back to get the fuller ends I want. Shorter hair will automatically look fuller, healthier and will be easier to wear down!
Im not doing as many videos but hope to try and do more in 2021. I have been working on hair toy projects and have done lots of hair sticks.Watch the video and see the bun I did using one I made.
Doing a drastic cut in a pandemic is not the right time...for now I am trimming and maintaining until the world returns to normal.
WEARING DIFFERENT BUN STYLES AND USING DIFFERENT HAIR TOOLS.
Doing some length videos for you before I go a bit shorter in the future...No hurry to trim, just documenting the length at 70"

Info on this video (Posted on YouTube)
Playing with my long hair. Before trimming I am making several videos of
the length, which is 70". The longest my hair ever was? 87 inches, 15"
past floor!
I cut 10" then continued to trim monthly keeping it off floor, going to
lower calf at one point in the last 2 years. It grew back to ankles and
then to floor.
The brush shown is a Tangle Teezer with a handle! Its great and I love
it.
Since going vegan 3 years ago, I pretty much quit using boar bristle
brushes.
πTHIS VIDEO IS FOR ALL THE LONG HAIR LOVERS OUT THERE!π

I am finally back after a long absence!
SEEπNEW VIDEO below
I moved and it has been a MONUMENTAL job! π΅
I have not been active, but now that life has settled down a bit, I was able to make a VIDEO. I have trimmed my hair so much but it is still at floor/ankle.
NOW TO FINALLY DO SOME VIDEOS BEFORE THAT BIGGER TRIM!!
MY FIRST VIDEO IS BELOW...TAKE A LOOK
Showing you my length and 4 favorite combs
SUBSCRIBE to my channel so you don't miss anything!
(see 10" trim video here on my blog, its not Public YouTube) My plan was to maintain and trim which I have done! To get a thicker hemline and hair a bit easier to manage means trimming quite a bit. Its all part of the journey. I have put this off for years but feel its coming this summer. My first trim will be at least 15". π³I have never self trimmed that much before! (54-56 is knee on me) I hope you will still follow my Journey when I go to shorter lengths! I am having trouble combing it and sleeping with it being this long.
KNEE LENGTH IS STILL LONG!
I will self trim it of course. I have been self trimming my hair since 2006! I want to do some videos before the big trim and now that the weather is turning better I feel a bit more motivated. Time and planning and making videos have been an issue as I have had little time to update online. But my hair is the same as in the above video!
Thanks for reading and if you feel like leaving a comment please do so. I would love to hear from you!
There have been many delays due to personal family business I needed to focus on.
I have continued trimming after my first 10" trim in Sept 2017. Total of 20" has been trimmed...My hair is still to the floor.
I wanted to get back into having fun with hair so I started working on some hair accessories.
I made 3 videos about my favorite thing...CLAW CLIPS and custom painting them!
You can see them over on my YouTube Channel and to make it easier I can also link them here.
I show them in my hair and the buns are current ones with floorlength hair.
I also made a PAGE over on my hair site and its under construction but you can see some clip photos there.
See how I do it
Video Below is where I SHOW the ones I have painted.
CLAW CLIPS have helped me on my long hair journey more than anything!
Wearing hair up was crucial to gaining length.
So let me focus again on hair and check back for updates!

THANK YOU

Post # 13π
After thinking about my hair length, I have decided to maintain for a while longer and trim frequently. As of the last year Sept 2017 to Sept 2018 I have trimmed 19.5" the biggest section being 9" and all the rest were .5"/ 1" and a little more.(see trim video in post # 12) Lets face it...age and stress have thinned my hair at the longer lengths, plus some brutal winters where I had massive tangling that was hard to correct.The journey has been very difficult at times!
ππππππ
TODAY my hair is 74.5 and seems to be growing faster and as soon as I trim it is right back!
My plan is to film a self trim video and cut 2-3" and show how easy it is. My hair has thinned so much from classic to floor that if I cut 12" I really don't think it would look much thicker.
Shorter length like classic might be better, but right now that seems too drastic.
I will say that my hair is in great condition. I guess we cant have it all can we! I appreciate what I have and am working with it. People are asking for length photos and videos so let me see what I can come up with. I did show length in a couple recent videos on YouTube- wet to dry and making braid waves.
πHere is the braid wave one:
πand the wet to dry video:
πSo you can see my hair is still VERY long and may seem thick enough.. and I wanted to create these videos before I go shorter. I will maintain my hair around ankle after the trim video I have planned. I am STILL finding out what my best hair length should be. Right now it is VERY LONG and I believe once I trim shorter I will not grow to this length again. Let me take my time getting there!
Here is a photo I posted on facebook and people really liked it. Remember that my LONGEST length EVER was 86". See my facebook pageπ HERE ππ
I have made tons of hair tutorials this summer of 2018 so check out my channel and SUBSCRIBE
Although this was from September 2017, I finally got around to sharing it here. It's NOT public on YouTube and is for this blog ONLY. Many things prevented me from working on this video including my computer crashing, but here it is!
LEAVE ME A COMMENT! (see below)
TODAY my hair is still 73" and I want to maintain it for a while around 68-70"/floor/ankle range to thicken up the ends if possible...My hair really needed this trim and I was very happy with the outcome and say goodbye to my longest, oldest hair.
I have done several small 1"/ 2" and dustings trims since this video and will continue to trim monthly.
Trimming is all part of the growing journey, so for those few people who are upset, please don't be!
