How long is everyone trying to grow there hair?

Thanks Bri for the advice.  I don't even remember when I typed that. LOL!  Oh, 2002, no wonder!  

I ended up dropping that stylist a few months later - she got to money hungry and my hair was getting shorter and shorter...matter of fact, I've stopped going to the salons altogether since going natural - except once - and I do my own trims.

I know that you need trims to keep your hair healthy and growing, but I think that I may slack down on them, because she is the only hairdresser that I`ve had who cuts so much for a simple trim. After she trims my whole head once, she goes back and does it again from different angles. That`s what makes me so mad. Anyways, I want hair to the middle of my back. Right now, it`s chin length in the front and about an inch or two past my shoulders in the back. Once it gets longer, I`ll add some layers. But I am trying to avoid those scissors!

Just ask her to dust you ends and cut as little as possible if she continues to cut alot ask a friend w/ great hair to recomend a stylist or learn to trim your own. I was lucky my Grandmother and Uncle are both Beauticians  (did I spell that right?). Anyway I'm sure you know someone who has a great stylist.

P.S. You said she cut you hair at angles maybe she is trying to layer your hair or maybe even it out some ppls hair tends to grow longer on certain sides I know mine does. Good Luck.

My hair is currently around bra-strap length when straight and a little past shoulder length when natural (my hair has never been chemically straightened). And for now my goal is waist length when its curly.

just curious:how long exactly is "classic length"? i've heard of it, but don't know how long that is.  is it knee-length?

goal: waiste length

i am 1 inch away in the back

2 inches away in the front
