But I wanted to jump on the opportunity to start one of these measure up threads anyway. I do plan for a trim later on this afternoon when I've got some time... then that will take me a tad shorter than waist length. But no numbers for me! Anais

I have a time for hairdresser´s tomorrow and I´m gonna take 1-2cm off. The ends are so dry, no matter what I do . It´s the cold and dry scandinavian winter I suppose. But I´ll survive and keep growing!

Not that bad for 11.60 months of growth, it is also very thick and a little wavy so it could be longer. God I love my thick hair, would not cut it for a million bucks.

*grin*

6 inches. Grin

I'm wondering how long this inch a month thing will keep up. The longest layer is all the way down my neck. It's really exciting! Too bad I'm going to need to trim the long layer in a month or two, to start the work of getting these layers to one length.

Any advice on how much I should trim off the bottom at a time and how long it will take to get to one length without doing any SERIOUS chopping?

This is the first time I've done this... My mom helped me measure my hair with the "standard" method that ya'll use here in the long hair community Grin

(start at the forehead and go over and back to the longest piece), and she said 32 inches. So I guess that's about what it is. Starting a month ago I measured my actual hair length, by parting down the middle (which is how it always is anyways) and measuring a piece that started at the part (does that mean I measured from the crown?). A month ago it was 27 inches and now it's 28 inches! If I was consistent, that's a whole inch of growth! WOW!

I know I'm a few days late, but...

34 1/2 inches! Shocked

(leia, am I actually longer than you?!)
That's almost a whole inch of growth since last month! I haven't been paying very close attention to my hair lately so I wasn't expecting much growth, but I guess just letting it do it's own thing worked just as well, if not better. It's to my waist now, and I love how it feels at this length.

I figured out that I need to start measuring so I can get some proof that I really make some progress.
I don't know what the "standard" way to measure hair is, so I measured it two ways: from forehead hairline and over the head to hairtips at the back it's 53 cm. Length of an average-looking lock from scalp to end is 31 cm.

I guess that I'll start using the method that gave me longer result. It's more encouraging. Grin

For those who wonder...one inch is about 2.5 cm.
