At least I have made my first mini goal of BSL. Now I'm onto waist. My hair seems to be going through an awkward stage right now. It has been blah lately.

It's BSL when wet but it shrinks quite a bit. I hope to have it reach BSL when dry, so I am hoping it'll be there in another 3 inches.

I am a newbie here. Just joined last month.
This is my first month posting my hair length.

Last month I got my hair cut on the 18th and I told the hair dresser to be ruthless and cut all of the damaged ends off.
When she was done it was 20 inches.
(See my profile picture, which was taken right after my cut.)

This month, less than a month after my trim, after following the advice on this site I have already grown a full inch!!!!! Shocked

It is now 21 inches!!!! Grin

I cannot wait to try out the rest of the advise on this site!

Back to top

28.5" long, extremely fine, poker straight, & fly away,hair that is so soft & slippery clips, pins & sticks fall out of it. It is dark blond w/a few strands of gray "highlights".

I can't wait to see what it's grown to in May

Citrine,

Now that you are not heating your hair and you will be measuring it the same way next month, you will be able to get a true reading of how much it grew.
I cannot wait to hear how much that will be.

Maybe you will be able to find someone to take a picture?
Wink

Have you read the advice in here about hair washing?
I am loosing a lot less hair now!

Did you read this?
http://www.longlocks.com/how-to-grow-long-hair.htm

All I know is I a month and a half ago I had a hair brush full of hair every time I brushed it.
Every time I showered the water backed up because there was so much hair clogging things up.

Now, I am just following everything on that page and I get a lot less hair in my hairbrush, the water in tub does not back up and my hair is growing very quickly.

I cannot wait till next month to measure it again.

Going to grow a LOT of chamomile this summer so I can have enough to get me though the winter. Wink

Debr Diamond Offline LongLocks Rocks! Posts: 549 Gender:	Re: April 2008! Reply #20 - Apr 14^th, 2008 at 2:32pm I measured in at 41 inches. 1/2 inch gain for the month, but I took off the tips. I couldnt measure the amount. So, my gain could have been 3/4 of an inch. O well, gain is gain. I wont be measuring again until the 1st of October. A wee experiment I am conducting. Debr

Since I have some different lengths I'm not sure where to measure my hair from. I have bangs, some graduation on the sides but the whole back is one length. I want to begin to measure it from next month and I want to get it right from the beginning. I've tried measuring from the point on my scalp where I think most of the longest lengths in the back grow out from and from the front of my hair line (by pushing bangs aside) because that seems easier. What would be most correct?

If I'm doing this right it's a FULL 13 3/4" Grin

It was 13½" last week. A quater of an inch matters when your hair's really short! Wink

I had my last trim three weeks ago and it was mid neck then which is two finger widths shorter than it is now, about an inch in difference

I'm pretty happy with that. I can't wait until it reaches my shoulders! I hope it does by Fall at least.

I have been measuring from my crown.

You are measuring from where your hair starts at your forehead?

hmmm. Huh

Is there a place on here that explains the standards on how this is so be done?
If so I missed it. Undecided

I am going to have to remeasure all over again. Embarrassed

Plucking a precious hair!!!!! Shocked

I work so hard not to loose any of mine that plucking one seems so wasteful.

Using a ruler method, I would measure one from my hair brush or maybe one left behind after I bathe.

Looking forward to your post next month to see your progress.

That is fantastic!

Is your profile picture a current picture?

It is beautiful at that length but, if it is not current, will you post a current picture on here somewhere so we can see how beautiful your current length is?

Angel Spun Ex Member	Re: April 2008! Reply #30 - Apr 20^th, 2008 at 2:48pm The proper way to measure is to use a fabric tape measure. Take the beginning end of it and place it right at the center of your hairline. Then bring the tape measure over your head and down the length. Where your hair ends is your measurement. Be sure to keep the tape measure centered. Cheers!
