As I have previoulsy stated, I did not want to measure my hair until the 1st. I was right I lost 3" total. 1" less than I figured.

I am now at 21" and my hair feels fabulous. I am hoping to reload on my deep conditoner and hot oil treatments, for I have been out, along with my vitamins.

27" another half inch. Just fine, as long as it doesn't decide to stop growing for three months again.  >:( My hair is currently my longest ever.  8-)

I'm measuring at 24.25".  Not as much growth as I was hoping for, and I have a trim next week.

Still only have my metric measuring tape.  42cm/aprox. 16'5".  Same as September's measurement which was pre-trim so that's okay.

I'm going to admit now that I'm guilty of not posting for October.Oops.But I juts checked and I am at 16 1/2 inches!Although it only looks about 16 inches(because of the weird curl pattern)it's growing!Last time I chceked/posted(sept.25th) I was at 14 3/4 inches.


So about 1 1/2 for 2 months!That's pretty good in my books.
Plus people have started commenting on how nice it looks and long it's getting.This is awesome.I never knew my hair could be so complemented on. :-[
:D

23 inches.  Interresting.  My hair seems to be growing a lot faster than it was; it's like I'm not trimming at all.  I may make my goal sooner than I expected.   :)

I normally measure mid-month, but as I'm trying to get back to the beginning of the month, this isn't quite a full 30-day difference, so I'm not worried about slight growth.

Curly: 26 1/2"
Straight: (i.e. strand pulled to full length, how long my hair would be if it was straight) 31 3/4"

Some growth! :)

So I've decided to start recording my measurements without pulling my hair straight so that it actually looks like what its measured as.  And my measurement is...14"!.

I tend to measure both curly and straight because the spring factor of my hair changes depending on humidity, weather, how much I've been oiling/conditioning, etc.  So if I measure it pulled straight as well, it can act as a standard measurement.

Can I ask where your hai falls on your back now?We seem to be in very similar stages as far as how long both of us have our hair at the moment.
Mine reaches right inbetween my shoulder blades and in front right past my collar bone(like an inches or two past)

I found out I've been completely measuring my hair wrong and that I am at 21 inches not 16 1/2.I know that sounds funny but what happened was I was measuring from the side and not from hair line back.Now I'm only about 6 months from my long term goal that was supposed to take me like a year or more!


yay for revalations!

My hair in front still has a lot of graduation and layering so I can't really judge what length that would've been otherwise.  I've got some that falls right to my shoulders at the sides in front and some that falls to a place below shoulders in the back to just below the third major spinal cord.  That's 44cm from hairline on me.  According to http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/length that's 17.3".  Erh...I'm no mathematical genuis. :-[ ::) ;D

Your hair does look longer than mine so I'm not surprised that you've realized that it's really 21". :)  I'm very happy for you.  I can't wait until mine's just 20".  

Hmmm....I just measured 20" from my hairline and down the back and that's BSL on me.

Hairline-nape = 11.4"  I have a high forehead/hairline

Nape - Base of neck = Roughly3 or 4"

Hairline - waist = Roughly 26.3"  I'm very short waisted.

Oh, and I'm 4'10"ft.  

Just for the fun of it, the length from my hairline in front and to my ankles is aprox. 150cm/59.1" according to that measurement conversion site.  

This is becoming an unhealthy obsession. ;)
