Me first this month! I've been ignoring this for a couple of months, but now is the time.

25"/63.5cm AND BSL Shocked

WAHOO!!!

(well, it depends on which "B" I'm wearing Roll Eyes

but I'm counting it)

I was thinking of a small trim this month, but I may wait and enjoy having reached my first goal, FINALLY! Patience pays off Grin

Also, I measured my circumference and it is 3 1/2" -- last year it was 2 1/2"--

double WAHOO!!

**happy dance** don't laugh, dancin' around a bum ankle in combat boots ain't funny....well, okay, it is extremely funny but I'm doin' it anyways Grin

ok,no late April's Fools joke,,,my hair shrunk!!! I measured it and it went from 31 1/2 or 32 inches last month to 30 1/2 this month....... I think it's because it's alittle frizzed and last month when I measured it it was straighter. I won't panic Shocked

not much. I'll have to measure it when I wash it again and then when it's wet and calm;I'll hopefully get a better reading....

Not having curly hair I don't have to deal with that issue when measuring. Try to decide how you want to measure and then do the same thing each month -- make a note in your post to remind yourself how you did it.

ok,finally here it is..this month I'm at 32 inches. I washed,white vinegar rinsed and conditioned my hair this morning. After wide-tooth combing it I measured it and that's what I got. So last month it was straight when I measured it probably because of the weather that most of my curls relaxed. Now it's between curlie and wavy. Ah,the mind of what curly hair wants to do!

Curlgirl64: I'm never alright. Tongue

Measuring my hair would be a lot easier if I had another experienced longhair here to help me out. Undecided

Rapunzel_wannabe: I took those Hair, Skin & Nail vitamins (mostly Biotin and C) for 4-5 months with zero results...think they're a scam. *shifty eyes*
It's way easier to just maintain a healthy diet and/or take a multivitamin. Sunny, warm weather (as found in my native SoCal) also seems to encourage hair growth...which I find somewhat ironic, given my preferences for a darker, colder climate. Wink

Measured again yesterday & hair is definitely longer than 21." It may be 21 1/8" or 21 1/4"....couldn't really tell. Undecided

So, my monthly measurement is 26 inches. Yeah, one more inch! Meg

yay meg

one more inch!!! The first time I measured it was a few days after using my Maxiglide Shocked

Since I read everyone's feedback on different "utensils" I haven't used it. Oh well,there goes $90 bucks! Sad

Anyway,when I measured again it was wet and I tried to get it as straight as possible without stressing my hair. Like Angel,I sure could use another Longhaired here to help!! Grin

Since then I've had a couple of trims to get rid of some damaged ends, but April's measurement sees me at 28 inches! Quite happy with that!
