Last month I said my hair was 21 inches long, but that was WRONG! Embarrassed

You see, I used the wrong method to measure.

Now that

Angel Spun

has taught me how to measure my hair length correctly, I will be able to have a more accurate reporting on the length of my hair.
Thanks

Angel Spun

My hair is about 27 1/3" long.

That is an approximation only because I rolled my hair in socks last night and it is curly. I really looked cute all day.

My hubby loved it! Wink

What is your experiment?

Oh to have 41 inches!

Do you have any pictures of your hair on here?
If so can you give us the url?

Oh wow! I feel like I'm measuring progress on a pixie! Embarrassed

My hair's still so short that it bends up inside but it's at least 14 ½" now. 3/4" gain since my last measurement at the middle of April. I had my last trim at the end of March and won't allow my hair to be trimmed before the end of the Summer or beginning of Fall. Then I'll only allow my hairdresser to take of 1cm but I'll tell her ½cm because you know how hairdressers can be Roll Eyes

I wish my hair grew 3/4" in ~15 days. Shocked

That is wonderful!

Instead of telling your hairdresser only 1cm, why not talk to her/him about only taking off the damaged ends. Cutting off as little as possible, but making sure any damaged ends gone. It may mean more than 1cm. It might mean less. Your hair will actually grow faster and be healthier if the damaged ends are gone.

I know you're right, I've just become a bit paranoid because like a lot of women I've experienced overenthusiastic hairdressers who seem to think that a trim to take off damanged ends means several inches which usually isn't necessary. I'll try to get her to show me how much she thinks needs to be cut off and tell her if I agree or think less could be taken off so we don't have any misunderstandings
