37.5 inches at best. So I haven't had even 2 inches of growth this YEAR. I've trimmed a couple times, but minimal amounts, and certainly not enough to make me feel better about this lack of growth. Cry

I went out and bought silica today. I've had great results with that in the past, and will also pick up biotin and MSM. I'm also going to work VERY hard at eating better and getting more protein in my diet.

Anyway, 26.5 inches. I think I had .75" of growth for the month of July. Somehow that seems too good to be true...

I think I've found a salon-lady who is not scissor-happy! yeahhhh So now my measurement (hair styled and quite wavy) is: 81cm/31.88inches Even after two haircuts/trims there is still a bit of growth. Hovering above waist length..

I got just the regular 0.5 in/1 cm of growth which takes me to length of 23.23 in / 59 cm. One inch until I've grown back the hair I cut at beginning of June. About 3 in until BSL (about 26.5 in).

Got a trim last week so lengths are shorter. I'm switching to inches because it's easier for me to think that way Wink

From part to end of longest top layer:
18.5" (difference from last Mo.: - 2.5")

From part to end of shortest top layer (by sides of my face):
16" (difference from last Mo.: -.25")

From part to end of longest bottom layer hair, just to see what it'd be if it were one length.
24" (same as last month)

Thickness (around a ponytail):
4.2" (same as last month)

wishing4longhair Emerald Offline it just keeps growing Posts: 427 Gender:	Re: August 2005 Reply #9 - Aug 2^nd, 2005 at 9:19pm I'm still not too sure where to measure from, but I tried it from the front hair line down. Could be accurate or not. Oh well. I gave in. I wasn't going to measure my hair yet, but I did. It's 22.5 in. That's not bad especially because I just got a little trim. I hope to double that eventually. Meg

But I also have this compulsive need to cut my hair shorter than 'last time'. I just need to find someone to dust my ends for me and stop going to a salon, otherwise I'll end up bald!

Galadriel Stardust Offline Posts: 1671	Re: August 2005 Reply #11 - Aug 9^th, 2005 at 5:59am You could also trim your hair by yourself. Feye's self trimming method is explained here. Don't worry your lack of length too much- it will grow (that's what I keep telling myself). Put your hair up in a nice updo with some hairtoys you like- it makes you feel more longhair.

Don't feel too bad, R_W! But I know how you feel. Even though my hair is past brastrap length, sometimes I still think that it's really short. You should know that a lot of people measure from their hairline, over the top of the head, down the length of the hair, and that adds inches to the measurement. So although I wrote 26.75", if I measured an individual strand of hair, it's not going to be 26.75 inches long.

And to stop yourself from cutting your hair shorter each time, perhaps you could tape a picture of someone with long hair to your mirror and keep that goal in mind when you have the urge to cut shorter. That might not help at all, but it's one idea.

Galadriel Stardust Offline Posts: 1671	Re: August 2005 Reply #14 - Aug 18^th, 2005 at 12:19pm Woohoo! When I was combing my hair I noticed that it looked much longer than I remembered. I grabbed a measuring tape, and after three times I had to believe it- I've gained 2 cm/ almost an inch since I measured last in beginning of the month. So, my hair is now 61 cm/24 in long, which puts me almost where it was before June's cut.
