but still- yay! my goal is kneelength so i think i'm a bit more than a foot away.

Angel Spun gave a really good description on the correct way to measure your hair last month in April's Measure up.

Quote:

[color=#000000]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!

Just reading your description tells me you may not be doing it correctly.

You say you are 5'9 = 69" =A

Current length of hair = 37" =B

Hair reaches knees
If Hair is measured from hairline

Inches from hairline to crown is not factored into height = C

Therefore

A

-

B

-

C

=

inches from knee to foot.

69"

-

37"

=

inches from knee to foot.

+

Inches from hairline to crown

32" =

inches from knee to foot.

+

Inches from hairline to crown

The distance from hairline to my crown is ~ 5" (everyone's is different)
And I am sure I would love to have your long legs.
So, let us pretend they are mine. Wink

This would mean, from my knee to my foot would measure 27"

Quite impressive, but I am not sure I would be able to walk on those legs.
And just think, if you did not measure from your hair line, your hair is longer than you think!

I would love to see pictures of your hair.
Have you posted any pictures of it in the Show Off Your Locks section in this message board?

ha ha ha

. you're very right of course! i am SO not a math kid. my second attempt ( i keep getting different numbers) but i think i'm more about 32" Cry

bummer. in order to post pics i would have to befriend my hubby's digital camera...i'm sure i'll do it.... eventually Wink

.thanks for posting that info on measuring ( and thanks to Angel Spun for saying it in the first place Cheesy

! ), it was very helpful. i can''t imagine why i thought my ruler method would be at all accurate. if anyone asks, it was caffeine deprivation.

I

think you will find that your hair is longer than 37",
unless the measurement from your knees to your feet is truly ~27". Wink

Why not have your hubby take the pic? Cool

It is your hair we want to see.

If you notice, everyone's pictures are taken from the back.

Notes to self:

1-The most important point about word problems is READING and UNDERSTANDING all of the points.
Yes, you did say, Knee length was your GOAL!
Not where you were. Embarrassed

2- After 1am is probably not the best time for me to be responding to message boards.
As you may have noticed, I have a tendency to ... well... just look at my 5/6/08 posts. Embarrassed

I suppose I'll just have to say.....my avi was taken about 25 mins ago, so that's how long my hair is! I will continue to search for a fabric ruler.... Ah-hah. Well, according to this, mine's about 20". Not sure if I measured that right, though.

That is the measurement method most people use around here. I love the color of your hair!
