Foreverfay,

If you're measuring the same way I am, then we are almost the same length. I'm not sure you are though. Typically, everyone measures from the hairline over top of the head to the end of the hair. (I had alot of trouble with this, too. For the longest time I thought you were supposed to measure from the side or back of the head starting at the hairline) This is why for most people BSL is 25" and waist length is about 30". Hope that helped

.

Thanks!Yeah For me BSL is about 26 1-2 inches(I have a terribly long torso dangit plus I'm 5'8 almost 5'9 and still growing so....it may take me longer than most people)And I still have like 10 inches to make grow.So like 8 years and I'll be where I want to be.haha.ugh.It's such a painful process.I think I may experiement with leaving my hair up for an entire month.Like the entire month.Only take it down at nighttime when I sleep.Sounds like a fun project.

Good luck and thanks Jilayne(p.s that's a beautiful name)

well Im confused. I measured my hair on the 23 rd of sep. and I thought you were supposed to measure from your ear to the end of your hair tips. So I will have to do this again.
I am going to do this tomorrow so that will be on the 28th of sep. which will be my first measurement , then i will every month on that day measure and give my status.

Also How do you determine the length of hair growth ? Im 29 years old with hair aready past my lower back. thanks all

Thank you, Foreverfay for the compliment, that was very nice of you to say.

ollie: I'm not really sure what you mean by your question. Huh

If you want to the length of hair growth just measure once every couple of months and then subtract your original length. I'm not sure if this is the answer you wanted though. You'll have to clarify. Embarrassed

Ollie, just an fyi, it might be easier for you to measure by taking a dressmaker's tape measure and start at the top of your forehead at the hairline, take the tape measure over the top of your head and let it hang down over your back, and where the longest hair is; is the length or your hair. Hope this helps!
As for me, I got a much needed trim or cut today! Before the cut I was at 36 1/2 inches and after the cut I am at 32 1/2 inches. All is even now and I guess I'm still in shock at the measurement,but I'll measure again when it's wet and then I'll know for sure.
I think Thurs. is when I will do my henna and indigo.
