Same as last month for me,34 1/2 inches,but I measured today when it was dry. I've been measuring when it's wet,but today was not a wash day so probably Wed. or Sat. for the wedding,then I'll re-measure to see if there is any real difference. If there isn't........I'm beginning to be a little disappointed in the Merocco Method,but I may be not giving that a fair chance. Maybe I should give it a full year because I only trim when necessary and usually every three months. We'll see with the S&D missions and the dustings..............

After I did my relaxer and my hair was still wet it looked bra strap length easy, which on me is about 25 inches long. I know exactly what you mean about curly hair looking shorter Sakina, it's definitely frustrating at times.

joeydog 1992 Ex Member	Re: July 2007 Reply #8 - Jul 4^th, 2007 at 11:25am Interesting...I see some people measure with wet hair and some with dry. Is there a correct standard? I mean, I always measure dry but that would make a big difference since wet since my hair has quite a lot of wave and curl to it. Can anyone direct me before I measure this month? JD

Curly hair is easier to measure when wet as the curl is not as dominate. Your hair will measure a bit longer if wet (hair is very elastic when wet).

I measure yesterday. My first measurement was 38", 2nd was 381/2". Sooo-I went to moms and asked her to measure, and that came to 39inches.

Since I am trimming by the moon, the first 2 measurements kinda made me think the morrocco method isnt working for me. My hair grows an inch a month anyway, but WHEN mom measured and I have GROWN 2 inches this month, maybe there is something to the trimming by the moon. I will keep checking it each month, and I think I will continue to let mom do the measuring. She is more accurate than what I am. I am sooo excited Grin

. 2 inch GAIN in 1 month. WOOO - HOOOO!!!!! I knew it was growing I just didnt know how fast.

Okay, got my mom to measure my hair today. GRR. Mad at hairdresser. I am still 21 inches...but I know my hair grew...otherwise I would not need my roots redoing. She told me I had not split ends and I asked her to just even up the hair since mom told me that some peices were 21.5 last month. Maybe in future I should just get my mom to even the length and let the hairdresser do the color and the bangs. Oh well, what is done is done. And at least I know my hair is healthy since 2 people told me today that my hair is 'magnificent'. Hopefully next month will be better. Besides, I know my hair grows faster in the winter.

BTW, people keep talking about this moon cutting. I have figured it is based on a book....what is the book? I would like to look into getting it.
