The November 2009 measure-in thread.

[kam984420]

Here is the November measure-in thread.:)

[georgia_peach]

STILL at 16". But a look at my photo album tells me that my layers must be growing as my hemline looks thicker. Let's hope so!

[Isa-belle]

I'm at 36" - only 8 cm before I reach 1 metre of hair :cheese: I've been having a really good growth over the past few months. Wishing everyone the very same! :toast:

[pradabacon]

32.5" Up 1/2". Yay!

[Naamah]

35" :cheese:

[Alexannee10]

28.15" for me! (71.5 cm) Yay!

[Gabriel]

36.5" for me. I don't keep track regularly so hopefully these threads will help me figure out my average growth. :)

[Chrissy]

It's still October! :P. I'll post mine soon.

OK now it's November....:P Mine is now 19.5. I'm still growing at the average rate of .5 inches per month. Next month hopefully I'll finally be out of the 1's and into the 2's as in 20!! I can't wait. :)

[little_acorn]

hahah I have major braid waves so I'm going to have to wait until next wash day for mine measure in!!

[Cholera]

I'm at a solid 20"!

[RavennaNight]

32!" 5 inches to goal!

[Coriander]

Measly 1/4" growth last month to 39.25". Ah well. At least it's closer to 44" :)

[Longlocks3]

42.5, which doesn't make sense since I did a self trim of atleast an inch.

I don't trust DBF measuring but oh well, I'm updating my length to say 42.5 inches.

[bridgetsgirl]

30"....only 1/4" in a month. :mad: I guess it didn't help that I was sick for the better part of this week?

[SheaLynne]

Hmmm...having trouble getting a consistent measurement, but it seems to be averaging at 32.5", which is a normal 1/2" this month :)

[LittleOrca]

40 for bulk, 41.5 for tips.... so I grew about 1/2 an inch this month, but had some breakage and I expected it. :(

[Ina]

29" and that is 0,5 more than last month:D

[Lemur_Catta]

In September it was 72 cm (28.35 inches), but then I had a 1 cm (0.4 inches) trim.
Now my hair is 73.5 cm (29 inches) so I have gained 1 inch in the 2 past months :D I'm quite happy!

[Charlotte]

I'm at 31" which is the longest my hair has ever been - thanks to everyone at the LHC for their encouragement and support. Averaged out since May, that's a 1/2" per month. I have done 2 x 1/2" trims since joining up to get rid of the splits and have been oiling the length and ends ever since. :D

[janeytilllie]

I'm at 22" :D

[Teufelchen]

I am at nearly 31". That means it it was growing 1" over the last 6 weeks.

[Noctifer]

From 72cm to 73,5cm So little less then my usual 2cm, but that can be a messuring error to. But finally a month where i havent trimmed ot the growth

[juliaxena]

I'd participate in this threads but I'm afraid my growth will always be half an inch even if in first two weeks of the month.

[Cat Lady]

16 inches. Up one inch since I joined! (Or DH is dodgy at measuring my hair.)

[Loreley]

Still 43 inches... I've cut at least 4 inches this year to make it thicker and healthier. :o

[lesbia]

an other cm this mounth :)
my babylenght...now i'm at 59 cm!

[Elphie]

I'm showing a 1/4 of an inch this month which makes sense since I had a small trim during October. So 27 and a 1/4. It's a bit wavy this morning so maybe a smidge more, hard to tell. I'll take it :-)

[Tovah]

Question: If your hair is layered (growing them out) do you measure the shortest layer or do you just take a tape measure from the front of your head to the bottom of the back? Measurement to follow.

[GeoJ]

46 inches long now, thanks to one inch of growth last month! That makes up for having no growth the month before.

[jasper]

I have some strands at 35 inches, but most of it isn't. Will probably trim in a few days because I want to work away at getting rid of my V hemline.

[yogachic]

Here it is the first of November already, I measure around the 25th of every month, but I can't find my measuring tape. Hope I can find it, like today!

[HairyCarrie]

DH says the longest bits are 22". That's my APL milestone but I don't want to claim it until a few more pieces catch up. Next month for sure! So I'm saying 21.5".

What a funny little contest I'm having with myself. :gabigrin:

http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL655/2418900/20021288/377099158.jpg

[Sairy]

30 inches. It grew 1 inch in a month! great! :D

[myrrhmaiden]

22" and 1/4 inches says hubby. APL! (doesn't feel like it though) Next goal BSL!!!

[Fireweed]

41 inches over all and in the middle at 42.

[InTheCity]

24.25", up just over 1/4 inch.
I'm used to a real 1/2" every single month but I'll take it :)

I want solid BSL for Christmas!

[NickalNack]

My hair measures in at about 6.5 inches now! A little more but I don't know specifically. I'm so happy.

[metalgypsy85]

I think my measuring is off. According to my measure, it grew maybe a few millimeters, but I can see that it's longer than that and feel it, so I have no clue at the moment. Still around 5 inches, I guess:(

[Ravenwaves 88]

2 months in a row I've measured 28.5 again. So discouraging.:(

[pradabacon]

Question: If your hair is layered (growing them out) do you measure the shortest layer or do you just take a tape measure from the front of your head to the bottom of the back? Measurement to follow.

Front hairline to the bottom of the back, yes. :)

[apynip]

still 18 :( though my hair does curl under intead of out now and looks to have grown... I dont know.

[mellie89]

22.5". I measured carefully and kept getting this, so maybe I measured wrong last month? I can't believe that I grew 1.5" in a month, even with it being my second month on biotin and the pill.

[camirra555]

Up another half inch to 27 inches :)

[Alexannee10]

Today is november 1st, and I'm at 71.5 cm, which is past 28". :)

[Mayanquice]

25" Half way towards my goal!

[AbruptlyWanderi]

I grew .75 of an inch, which leaves me at 25 inches! I am inching closer to my goals!

[mira-chan]

48" up one inch from last measurement.

[melikai]

Around 29". I've grown about 1" per month for the last few months, but now my shedding has increased, which has me a bit worried.

It also seems like I will never reach waist - I swear, I have such a freakishly long torso it isn't even funny.

[ChrissieM]

My longest bit is at 30.25 inches...so .5 inches of growth last month. I'm thinking about starting to trim to even up the hemline. If I cut a blunt hemline now, I could be at solid BSL. Decisions, decisions.

[AnnaMarie]

32 inches woop woop!:)

[Cinnamon Hair]

57" or 57.25" at most. No growth this month. That's ok, I need to trim anyway.

[Laylah]

30.5" ...come on, hair, GROW!!! Hopefully the fall shedding will end soon.

[Samitra]

My hair is now 56 cm / 22.04 inches. (It's really a few millimetres more, but I try to go by whole centimetres.) But more importantly, I've reached APL! :cheese:

[Johanna]

I've had a gain of about half an inch.
Last month I was at 34.7'' and now I'm at 35''. Add on to that a 2cm trim as well.
My short bits at the front are now at 18'', which is longer than my starting point! So happy :D My shortest bits started at about 2'' in 2007. I've had a ton of trims between then. Still, it's alot of growth :D

[JamieLeigh]

Mine is 44 1/4" long right now, and I'm still debating that trim. :confused:

[Leena7]

19 inches at its longest point.

[Carolyn]

31" after a 3" trim last week. It's officially above waist for the first time in 5 years. Time to grow again.

[Little_Bird]

I grew one cm again... sigh... It's the third month in a row where I only have 0.39 inches, not even half an inch!

Still... it's growing! Hopefully it's gonna speed up again ... soon please!

So overally, I'm on 40.55 inches :)

[Ravenwaves 88]

25" Half way towards my goal!

Are you growing to 50" ?

I didn't grow this month but my DD got a half inch bringing her to 16". I'm wondering how her hair and height will compare to my hair growth. WIll we end up the same length?

[cassie_g]

43" - up .25" from last month. It's not much but it's better than nothing. 7 more inches till knee.

[windinherhair]

I am at about 38 1/4 inches. I just started to do small monthly trims of 0.4 inches, so I can keep growing too (that is almost half my monthly growth). I have been growing fast, at 0.8 inch (almost 1 inch!) a month. So I hope this continues. :cheese:

[missjessiecakes]

16 1/8 but it looks and feels longer. :D

[Les]

I measured a solid 35.5". Only 0.5 to go to a yard!

[masterofmidgets]

36" and solidly tailbone now. :D

[mimi1153]

39 1/4" here.

[GoddesJourney]

22 inches from 25 last month.

[Bene]

29 inches!!! Unless I somehow measure wrong last month, I've grown a full inch in October.

[basketcase413]

28.5 here...up 1/2 inch in October. I seem to be very cosistent. I've been taking Biotin for a couple of weeks now, we'll see if there's any difference next month....and I'll be at my one year anniversary then, :disco::cheer::hollie:

[little_acorn]

26 inches - my usual 1/2 inch this month and I'm now solidly past BSL and into the midback :cheese:, waist here I come :D

[friskybiznus]

30" ~~ .5" longer! Yay!

[butterflycayton]

I'm at 21 in. on the longest layers, but mostly 20 on the rest. I think I have reach APL....woohoo!!

[Amara]

I am at 38" - I've gotten rid of a couple inches of henna! :)

[redneckprincess]

my longest layers have finally reached 20" YEY!!!! APL SOON (when straightened, which i dont do very often anymore, lol)

[KarpatiiSiv]

I'm at 36" which is 1/2 inch more than last month.:)

[Brianna]

About 32¼ at its longest, which is 1/2 inch of progress since last time. :)

[KarenLynn]

94,6 cm/37.2 inches, which is only 1,7 cm/0.65 inches in two months. What's up with that?

[UncommonTart]

I tend to measure bi-monthly, but this is a measure month, and I'm at 44". That was my stated goal, but it doesn't feel quite long enough to me. I'm not sure if I want to revise my goal or maintain for a while as my "new healthy thicker hair" s-l-o-w-l-y catches up to my "old thinned from my medical condition hair."

[mizk5110]

A hair under 21" :p

I did my first measure a week ago Sunday, so it's really no change since last week. A little more curl today (braid waves); I might break out the straightener tomorrow just to see what kind of length I get when it's straight.

[dragonfrog]

36.25"... I trimmed last month.

[Katrina]

36,6" for me. Finally solidly at tailbone :)

[halo_tightens]

I'm at 21.5", WHOOO HOOO!!!! I felt like I was going to be stuck at 20" forever and ever! (So I just didn't measure for a while lol)

Now, DH claims it's actually 22", but I think he's wrong-- and if I do go with that and he is wrong, then I'll feel like I'm not growing again for a long time, lol. I'm gonna play it safe and go with the 21.5 that I got when I measured myself.

ETA: Do I have an enormous head, or a freakishly long neck, or something? I feel like I ought to be at APL with these numbers, but I'm not! I still have somewhere beterrn a half-inch and an inch and a half to go before APL. Hmmmph.

[firenze]

I hit 16" this month. I grew about an inch! :D Grow hair, grow!

[Shastrix]

I'm at 58 cm (22.8") at the start of November. My hair's grown just under 2 cm (0.79") since this time last month.

If it keeps it up, I'll be at APL by the start of December. :)

[Coriander]

I love reading everyone's joy when they write about their growth. :)

(As I sit here with Mega-Tek on my head to encourage more than this month's measly 1/4") :lol:

[lhangel9]

23" for me.:cheese: I've been at 22" for about 5 months!.....finally some progress:cheese::cheese::cheese:

[Wanderer09]

32 inches...I can't remember when I measured last, but it's one inch of progress. :)

[Finoriel]

My measuring tape claims it´s 51" now, seems like it´s still growing. :D

[squee]

33inches, at least 6inches is the taper.... :)

[jazzie]

Measure-in for november 1.1 inch (3 cm)...I guess my hair likes the new hair routine ^^ I'll try some hair vitamins soon, so I hope to see some more growth (or thickness) in december! :)

[jazzie]

Ooops, forgot to mention: so my hair is 5.5 inch long right now:D

[lapushka]

It's 22.8 inches right now and it was 22 inches 2 months ago. I had a slight trim last month, for the first time in 14 months.

[Wolfmaid]

I measured 24" for November, more than a half inch this month! :)

[Medievalmaniac]

I'm not 100% certain but I'm pretty sure I'm at about 28" now!!

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x45/simonebeauvoir2/025-2-1.jpg

[paperwhite]

27.5 inches, which isn't bad considering I've done two self trims equaling to about 1 1/2 inches! Yay! I think threads like this will encourage me to measure and log the length more often (as in more than once every few months...or whenever I remember to do it). :)

[Tovah]

Front hairline to the bottom of the back, yes. :)

Oh, I guess I need to change the numbers in my profile. Today it's 18" by that measurement.
Wow, my hair has grown 12 inches in less than 5 months!:p
My original measurement was the shortest layer. I'm still a bit confused because I see people who have 22" and it looks way longer than mine.

Now I just have to manage to be able to take a photo and post it.

Thanks for resolving the mystery.

[insaney2001]

I'm at 35.5 right now

:D Awesome growth! :laugh:

Maybe they're really short or have a short torso? Mine is hip at about 30", whereas on many people that is barely waist. The same length can look very different on different body types.

[OhioLisa]

VERY late, but oh well. I am at 39". Another 1/2" growth, as usual. :)

[Qamar]

I am starting November measuring in at 34.5 inches. :) I'm hoping for over 35 inches by the end of the month.

[yellowchariot]

I got a 1" trim a few days ago. I haven't had time to officially measure, but I'd say I'm still around 19'ish"

[Johanna]

Do you wonder if there's beard forums where guys measure their beards every month? I wonder if they also do deep treatments and get dismayed that they only get 1/4 inch growth.

End Hijack.

This months measurement for me doesn't count anymore. Did a bit of a self trim. I discovered my hemline was a wee bit uneven. Scissors to the rescue! (for once).
