Strawberryfine, to me it doesn't sound like you had hit terminal length. It is winter now, and I've heard (probably here) that hair often rests during winter, grows slower or maybe not at all.

As my hair isn't so much longer than yours, I also suspect that your measurement might not be quite accurate. I have awkward time when I try to measure myself, and I wouldn't be surprised if there would be error margin of half an inch or so (in other words: just one month's worth of growth).

Just hang on in there...there will be growth when there will be growth.

SF, I'm sure you haven't hit teminal length, especially if you had waist length hair before in your adult life. Right now I don't know how to measure my hair. Is it from the top of the hairline of the forehead over the back?

Start at the hairline in front, go over the top of your head, to the ends of your longest hair. Then report here your results (that's the most important part!)

I think I'll skip January...
Since December was the first time I'd ever measured my length..... I don't want to get too eager to check it's progress, then feel disappointed if I don't see much change... Undecided

So - - - - I'm waiting till February Grin

See, hair ... I'm not looking, I'm not measuring, So you can grow and no one will know - ha ha ha ha ha

Nerves of steel.. Nerves of steel.. Grin

at least that's my goal. I hid my tape measurer and have been hiding it since, hm.. come to think of it, it was probably around September. I'm going to try putting off measuring until Valentines Day or longer, longer if I still don't have the urge to measure once the day comes around. My hair just seems longer when I don't measure. To give an idea, though, it's barely waist length right now. It's really slowed down in the cold months.

Congrats on everyone's growth!!! Cheesy

Wow. You really do have nerves of steel, Anais.

I am thinking of postponing any further measuring for an indeterminate while; I don't want to measure until I've regained the inch I just lost and I would preferably like to be past that before I measure. That would be at least 3 months. I think I'll try for 3 months and not measure until April. Although, MMMV. LOL

ah, mission acomplished. i managed to trim off no more than 4 mm so i am back at 86 cm or 33.86".

i first didn't believe such a tiny trim on hair that looked and felt perfectly ok and undamaged could actually be beneficial but damn ... it does feel "fresher" in the ends without losing more than maybe two weeks of growth. 8)

i am going to do this every two months from now on Cheesy

i remeasured and remeasured because at some point i was only reading 85 cm and freaked out. my bf says there's a strand right in the middle that is shorter lol.
and tailbone for me is only at 97 - 97.5 cm (38.2" - 38.4") ... still so far away!

I measured in last night at 35.5 inches - same as Leia Wink

That's an inch of growth since November (I never measured for December...). Not quite as much as from October to November, but hey, it's still good progress.

I've decided not to trim my hair until graduation, except for the occassional dusting and maybe to even out some scraggly ends. I want to get as much growth as possible!

BTW, Leia, I went back and checked the June measurements (the first month I measured), and you've gained about 4 inches in the last 7 months, while I've gained about 3 (I was about an inch longer than you in June). But I also trimmed off almost an inch somewhere in there, so it looks like we're growing at practically the same rate.

Cool! I trim every month, but a veeeery tiny amount. I probably have only trimmed .25-.5" in the past 7 months. I can't wait for my hair to be classic length! Grin

@ leia lol ... you're already pushing your goals! i guess growing hair is a serious addiction (maybe cuze other wise the urge to cut might hit in order to change something).

maybe i shouldn't have such big goals, that way it's less frustrating. i think i'd calm down when i finally hit tailbone cuze that seems like so much longer than boring waist length i seem to have had forever (if i count in all the years i was at that length)
