26 3/4... which is only a quarter of an inch more than I measured in at last month! It sure seems a lot longer to me though.

I had my husband help me measure this time... maybe I haven't been doing a very good job of it by myself up to now! I guess I'll have to enlist his assistance from now on.

I really need some help with my splits-Have been brushing occasionally because finger combing left me with some volunteer dreadlocks(fragile curly hair) here and there-so I am going into town to try to get a dusting. I was 27" last month, started measuring last march I think at 24". Have had at least two good trims in the last year am really trying to keep the health up. My goal is 30" and I feel so close, but what good will it do if the ends are so messed up? So in I go for a trim-crossing my fingers. Send out good psychic energy into the universe for me, please! Will measure after the trim.

Terri, have you talked with Dulci yet? If not, then I hope you do! She has looooonnngggggg gorgeous botticili (sp) curls that are classic length! She has experimented with a lot of different things and found some that really help her curls.

Hang in there girl! :)

29 1/2 " that's a half inch this month. Better than the quarter I got last month. Getting closer to waist tho. I think that will be 33" but needing a trim soon. Trying to put it off.

20 1/2 inches...

1/2 an inch -- only a lousy 1/2 an inch! -- and I've been taking all my vitamins too!! I wonder if it's because of the birthcontrol pills I started taking...hmmm...might have to stop those... :?

terri
March 1st, 2003, 05:37 PM
25.5 -well it could have been worse-so I feel lucky-It is still longer and much healthier than when I started. The stylist(a curly head) was impressed with the overall health and feel of my hair and it blew her mind when I told her I only use shampoo 1 or 2 times a month if at all.

Still at 40.75", but I did have a trim so I must've had a least a bit of growth. Can't complain at this length I suppose :)

26.5 inches, the normal .5 growth.

trimming every other month at this point.

I am at 24 1/4 :D :D
I am happy hanging out at BS while I gradually trim to one length.
I still feel my hair is long :D

I have reached my short term goal of 25 twice. I am now just going to concentrate on reaching 30 instead.

I'm at 29", but I trimmed 2" off the ends to even it up. So I have no idea really what my growth was.

27 inches, just like last month. I ran out of my multi vitamin, so my hair slowed down. Also, I trimmed the ends a little too.

I'm at 31 inches now... Only half an inch of growth, even with all my biotin and other vitamins! I think my hair is just downright stubborn... :rolleyes:

March 2nd, 2003, 07:59 AM
When I stretch out the curl at the bottom, I get nineteen inches, and that's after doing one of Feye's trims. I think I'm getting one side a little bit shorter than the other side though.

My hair has a new pattern. It's fairly straight part way down but curls up a good inch or two at the end.

No growth this month. Still holding at 39.25, but the strange thing is that it feels longer. Go figure... :?

K, maybe this is dumb, but when you measure your hair... are you measuring from your hairline to the ends, or doing a ponytail and measuring from the start of the pony tail to the ends?

Just wondering! I wanna know so I can measure my hair, too.

Rachel: generally we measure from the widow's peak, or hairline in the center of the forehead, to the ends. And welcome to the boards, it's a great place to be!

From 28.25" to 28 & 15/16s" -- almost 3/4 an inch. Go me! :) This is only my second-ever measurement, though, so I have no idea if this is high or normal for me.

I'll call it 29" for my signature, so that it'll fit. That's not *too much* of wishful thinking, is it?

Cheers,
Jonobie

Still at 25. :( I guess my hair is in a resting stage.

It does grow rather slow at times. One month I got 2 inches. This month I didn't get any new growth! :x I'd better do a dusting to make sure that I didn't get any breakage.

I got very little measurable growth :( , got fed up and had a trim yesterday...

I was at 24,5" in the beginning of February, and at about 24 5/8" or 24 3/4" now before my trim.

I got about an inch trimmed off, and I'm very happy. My hair had gotten really uneven, and now my ends are all-in-one length again and feel so much thicker.

Sooo, I'm back at 23 5/8" (exactly 60cm) now and much happier!!! :D

I had hubby measure for me last nite and he said I'm at 31. Kewl, I never really knew how long my hair was. It will be interesting next month to see if it grew any at all.
