    Talking Very happy! Making progress: growth update and goal date

    Hello! I am so happy this morning, I wanted to try and make a post.

    I've been keeping track of my hair growth since January of this year, and have gone from 16 inches (chin length) to 22 inches (past shoulders). I know that's not a lot, but I'm glad to finally have long-ish hair again.

    My goal is tailbone length. On me that's 36 inches (I'm 5'4). The longest my hair has ever been is about 30 inches.

    SO. Figuring on an average growth of 3/4 inch per month, it looks like I should reach my goal by April 2011. Yikes, that sounds like a long way off! I like to think of it as "right before me and DH's 5th anniversary" which is May 2011.

    Does anyone else have a goal date to share?

    I can't speculate. My hair will grow between 0 to 1-1/4 inch in a month, so I'll just have to wait and see. I believe that I will be at my goal of classic length within a year if I can resist the urge to cut it.

    I am also 5'4 and the last time I measured (in June) I was just at 36 inches. I hope to reach my goal by the end of next year which is as close to 44 inches as what I can get. I haven't figured out exactly how fast my hair grows yet. I am going to measure again the end of September. Looking ahead to 2011 would feel like a long time, but just try to keep enjoying your hair at each length. You will be there before you know it.

    I haven't been measuring my growth so I don't know my average, but right now I'm at around 27" (though I need a fairly big trim soon) and my goal is also tailbone, 36", and I would like to do that by the time I graduate, 2 years from now -- that might be stretching it slightly, but that's my aim
    don't know whether your hair is brown or red? us neither!
    hit my length goal of tailbone ... now learning to maintain and aiming to reduce split ends!
