[JamieLeigh]

I'm sitting at 45" right now and STILL contemplating that trim. Forget the 2-week rule...it's turning into the 2-month rule. :p

Hey Angie, nice sockbun!! ^^

[Akiko]

You are so organized, redneckpricess. Love your Excel chart. I am so not good at measuring. I "THINK" it's 30 inches.:o

Hey Angie, nice sockbun!! ^^

That's funny. I think I've been contemplating trying to maintain for at least a year. I usually get a 1/2" trim in and then dismiss the idea.

I'm sitting right around 28", which is cool since my original goal was 27".

[Hiriel]

74cm, 29 inches. 1 cm/0.4 inch increase.

Thank you but I didnt design it..another member did (I cant think of who...it starts with an S....)
anyways I will find the link for you all and you just input your dates and measurements..

By the Way, Im really bad at measuring too, (expically now that its getting longer, YEY!!) so I make my DD help me on wet or flat ironed (usually wet) hair...even then we get 3 diffrent readings (I think my hair is cut longer on the right side by almost 2"...I cut it last so....thats possible, lmao!!

I'm bad about measuring every month, but I did yesterday on a whim and saw this thread today!

I am at 40" right now =D Last time I measured was back in.. August, I think, and it was around 36". 3 more inches to classic, then I plan on maintaining there for a long while to thicken up my ends.

Oh, I see. There are templates! So sweet that your DD helps measuring. :)

[SpinDance]

Somewhere close to 33 inches. It was 33 inches a few weeks ago when my son helped measure it wet, and it was about 33 in my awkward attempt to self-measure just today. I probably should trim soon, though.

-Edit- My Dear Son just helped me remeasure, and he says it's 33.5 inches now. Yea!

[SylphideNoir]

17" after cutting off the bottom layers. Feels much better and the cut will grow out nicely from this point. I think I've finally left the bob stage.

[Loreley]

It is growing! It's an inch longer than it was a month ago. 44" now. :disco:

[CindyLea1]

I hit 33.5 inches measured just now, on lightly oiled hair. I've grown 4.5 inches since April( 7.5 months) and have 10.5 inches to go to be back to classic. I should be back there plus some by next Christmas.

[freckles]

I'm at NEARLY 26.5"
It feels like it's taking forever! But 1.5" in 2.5 months is over .5" a month so I'll try to stay positive :)

[mellie89]

22.25"

I JUST realized that I measured wrong last month (used an online ruler that wasn't calibrated correctly, bah!) so I figure I've gotten 1.25 inches over 2 months, which isn't bad.

[cassie_g]

44". :cheese: I got a whole inch of growth from last month. :D Look out knee length, I'm on my way.

[Ina]

29,5". I have 0,5" growth from last month

[SheaLynne]

Woohoo...I've made a decision to do 1/4-inch trims monthly to gradually take off my layers and old ends but still make some length progress.

Last month I measured at 32.5. I trimmed yesterday and today I measure at 32.75, so it worked--ends look better and length still gained :cheese:

[squee]

33inches!
Think I got 2 inches, either that or I measured wrong after my trim.
:)

[krn2891]

38 inches. I'm thinking by this time next year I will be at my goal length. :cheese:

[Anywhere]

31 inches, according to that excel formula someone put up (i forgot who..) I should be at waist in 3 days. :cheese:
i grew 0.9 inches last month.

ETA: I finally put my own measurements into the formula. (I'm short-torso'd) and apparently I've already reached waist. supposedly 5 months until i hit tailbone, just in time for prom. :D

[JenniferNoel]

20.5, this time last month it fell at 19.0, so I'm happy! :cheese:
I try to avoid trimming at all costs. S&D, but that's about it.

[Locksmith]

35 inches, woo! So I'm probably averaging around half an inch per month, which is okay I guess. At least it's definitely getting longer at last, rather than growing back to starting point with healthier ends. :) (Hip, here I come...)

[In2JC724]

Lets see.. I signed up and started measuring back on Oct 17th, and was at 35" .. I measured just now and I'm at 36" So it's an inch in about 6 weeks.. I can live with that. lol

[Naamah]

32.5"...did a two inch trim, it was very much needed. My hair feels a lot better now. :)

[Sissy]

I'm bad about measuring every month, but I did yesterday on a whim and saw this thread today!

I am at 40" right now =D Last time I measured was back in.. August, I think, and it was around 36". 3 more inches to classic, then I plan on maintaining there for a long while to thicken up my ends.

Ditto... my plan exactly... I am going to get to classic and then maintain to thicken up ends :) Hair is wet right now from the shower... I'll have to measure some night soon to see where I'm at these days :)

[InTheCity]

Yahoo! I'm at 25". So thrilled!

I got a perfect 1/2" every month from January to Sept, then got a little tiny trim mid Sept and didn't grow much between then and Nov 1st so I feared I either trimmed more than I thought or was in a stall... but here I am, exactly back on track! :D So happy.

[Ravenwaves 88]

I'm at 29". I love that excell spreadsheet. It tells me I will be at waist in June! My floor length would be 82". Image that much hair? Oh my!!!

[AbruptlyWanderi]

This month my hair is still 25 inches, but I did get a trim of around 1/2 an inch.

[rogue_psyche]

Shoot I forgot to measure and now there's henna on my head! NOW I MUST KNOW. :doh:

I guess I can wait until it is rinsed out. :rolleyes:

[girlcat36]

26" A thin, straggly 26", but 26" nonetheless.
Yippee! I finally made it past 25", thought I would never get past it with all the shedding, trims, breakage, etc.

[Cholera]

21", up 1" from last month. I'm so excited, taking Biotin has really cleared up my skin and my hair is looking great :D

[apynip]

19!!!! :D -uber excited-

[Bene]

30 inches. 1 inch up from the beginning of last month. Yay!!!

[Gabriel]

I'm at 37 inches so half inch standard growth for me.

[Elphie]

27 and a quarter. Considering I had a tiny trim at the end of October, it's fine.

[julliams]

I find I can't measure with the tape measure as I get a different reading each time. I used photos from last month and this month on a striped shirt and it looks like I may have an inch of growth. I'm not surprised with the amount of pampering my hair has gotten this month - looks like it might have paid off. Also it's summer here and that is supposed to help with speedy hair growth. I'm measuring for a year to see if there is a trend. If I keep this up I'll be at waist in no time.

Juliette

[Keildra]

I don't measure but I hit waist wet now to get there dry

[Peregrine]

31" pulled straight. Strange how that number used to seem so long and now it's not nearly long enough. Also the longest my hair has ever been :)

[Qamar]

I'm starting December at 34.75 inches which amounts to 3/4 of an inch in November. Thats more than I usually grow, which delights me to no end. I'm not sure if the increase is due to biotin or the miconazole rinses, but I'm happy to see a measurable difference from my base rate.

[Coriander]

Wow. Still 39.25". I haven't even grown a millimeter!

[Melisande]

My husband measured my hair yesterday: 95cm. That's 37.4" and slow but sure progress for me. I'm touching tailbone and very very happy!!!

[Noctifer]

74,5cm or about 29.3 Inches, so my usual growth this month

[Cinnamon Hair]

Trimmed in the first week of Nov. Now I'm at 56"

[Athena's Owl]

Just measured it for my blog and my rescue operations. 39" a very sad, splitty and parched 39", but it's three inches past goal, and that's something to cheer.

[rogue_psyche]

No growth this month. :shrug: I guess I won't make 30" before I trim. Still at 29".

LATE ETA: Oh hey, 29" is half-inch growth. That's what I get for measuring a bunch and forgetting where I was in the previous month.

[Teufelchen]

:cheese:I measured 31.9". I am approaching the 32".
This means 0,6" in November.
I can't complain about the growth rate.

[lucys]

:cheese:I measured 31.9". I am approaching the 32".


I think you can round up based on the likely error bars for a tape measure... :-)

I measure in at 16.5ins. It all counts, I keep telling myself.

[Lize]

I got 18.9 this month. I haven't measured in a while so i have no idea how much it's grown this month.

[redneckprincess]

21", up 1" from last month. I'm so excited, taking Biotin has really cleared up my skin and my hair is looking great :D

I love your siggy line ♥


I don't measure but I hit waist wet now to get there dry

yours too!! ☺ and I know the feeling I hit (more then) APL when wet...dry though Im still an inch or 2 away...dang shrinkage!!

[30isthenewblack]

I haven't measured for a while but it's 32.5". I'm very pleased with that as I think I hit a bit of a stall at waist! Mind you, I did stop taking my vitamins for a few months. Why do I stop doing something when it's obviously working ... :justy:

[janeytilllie]

Last month I was at 22" I'm now 22.6" :)

[Brianna]

32 ¾ inches, half an inch of progress since last month. :)

[Shastrix]

Thank you but I didnt design it..another member did (I cant think of who...it starts with an S....)
anyways I will find the link for you all and you just input your dates and measurements...

*raises hand*

It's me! :cheese: :grnbiggri :bow:

I've just measured at 60 cm (23.62 inches) 2 cm longer than on the 3rd last month.


http://www.shastrix.com/ash/TLHC/december.gif


I've now reached APL and it does look like I may be able to reach my goal before graduating with my PhD (if it all goes well :bigeyes:). But another, more amusing milestone, is that I now have longer hair than my sister, who says she is growing her hair for her wedding next year. :D

[Latin Tea]

I just changed my siggy from 26 to 26.5. I 'think' my hair grew about 1/2" in a month, normal for me. Now, just to increase that rate.....:)

[Copasetic]

28 inches!!! :)

Edit: I just realized that in the year that I have been a part of the LHC, my hair has grown 7 inches!!

[bridgetsgirl]

1st time using the official LHC measurement method...19.5"

[terryn]

15" for me, that's another inch! W00t!

[Little_Bird]

I grew 2 cm this month! I'm kinda thrilled!!!! :happydance: Finally, after growing just one for 3 months in a row, I get a growth spurt... Actually my sister measured 2,5 cm gain, but I'm assuming only 2 :p In inches, I got 0.79.

So this brings me up to 105 cm, or 41.34 inches.... finally counting up from 40!!!


YAAAY :cheese:

[dragonfrog]

36.6"... that's about 1/3" since last month.

[linda g]

22", that is an inch from my join date in September. This includes a trim using Feye's self-trim method.

[Chrissy]

:( I'm sad.........yes I'm pouting!!! No growth! Pfftt! Still 19.5. Phooey!!!! I did have an average growth for a long time. Grow hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[basketcase413]

Solid 28".....I've mis-measured somewhere along the line, but I know I've grown because I can now do some updos that weren't quite possible before!

[noelgirl]

31" - I forgot to measure last month, and two months ago I was at 30.5" and I've had a 1" trim since then, so even though I've only really gained .5" in two months, that's actually 1.5"-1", so it's definitely growing!

[butterflycayton]

Got barely 1/2 an inch---21 1/2.

[jessie58]

December measure for me is 28.5 for most of it and 29 for the leader hairs right in the middle of the hemline.

[Tressie]

I'm too lazy to measure inches! sigh! I go by body markers, LOL!! (o:

[Carolyn]

I'm at just a tad under 31 1/2". Trimmed to 31 about 5-6 weeks ago. I'm growing again.

[Esperanza]

35.75": a whole inch in the last month! That would be good for summer growth. Now if I can just figure out what I am doing right............................

[camirra555]

27.5. Up half an inch. I'll probably end up getting a trim this month

[Eniratak]

46.5.
However, I'm measuring by myself, so I could be wrong. XD.

[Leena7]

I'm up another half an inch, of course, I generally only measure the longest part of my hair, so only one clump is at 19.5". I mainly do it to see my growth rate, not the actual length anyway.

[ChrissieM]

I measured 30.75 inches this month....I measured 30.25 inches last month. I dusted my ends a bit in between, so I probably got about 3/4 inch this month. Nice. I'm so close to waist I can hardly bear it.

[rach]

I'm at 29". I love that excell spreadsheet. It tells me I will be at waist in June! My floor length would be 82". Image that much hair? Oh my!!!
i'm following mine closely too and it's nice seeing how long to wait to get to goals. Mine tells me this time next year i'll be hip...... the hair styles i could make with that :eyebrows: , bring it on!!

[burns_erin]

29 inches, slowly but surely.

[ICor.11:15]

:) When I first logged on to this website I was @ 40.5'', now @ 42.5''. I've had long hair all my life (growning since I was born!) - past waist length, but found this website while looking up hairdo's I think, and joined! Can't say I've logged in much, but interested in new pretty updo hairdo's / hairstyles. I know there's a lot out there, ... I usually where my hair either down - partially pinned back with a hairclip, or in an updo with curls - hot rollers my-long-time-friends!! (Chop sticks too - they're the ones that hold up my hair and keep it in place!! I used to do the care free all the way down look, but would always find myself eventually putting it back with a clip or my handy dandy chop-sticks!!

[Hay22]

Up to 25" from November's 24.25"! I'm excited. Also, according to that spreadsheet, I only have 3 months left until I hit 27" again, which is where I was before I got my horrible chop.

[aaperez]

This month was the first time I measured my hair like ever it was 28" when pulled strait ^_^ I'm eager for next month so I can start to get an idea of how fast my hair grows ^_^

[KarenLynn]

Good grief. It hasn't even grown one centimeter. Well, maybe it will have by the 9th. I measured late last month. So much for fast pregnancy growth, anyway. Pffft. Up from 80,6 cm/31.7" to 81,5 cm/32.1".

[tangocurl]

I measured 30.75 inches this month....I measured 30.25 inches last month. I dusted my ends a bit in between, so I probably got about 3/4 inch this month. Nice. I'm so close to waist I can hardly bear it.

Me too!! I made it to 30 inches!!!! :cheese: Now I feel like I have actual "long" hair! I guess I could call it waist if I pulled my pants up like a dork.

It is kinda fun when you don't measure every month...:eyebrows:

[lapushka]

It's 23.2 inches (59 cm); I started growing again at 15.4 inches (39 cm). I am almost at BSL right now save a couple of centimeters / about an inch!

It's grown 20 cm or about 8 inches in about a year and a half. Yay!

[Arkady]

I last measured mine about halfway through September, when I was at 27"; I measured it just now, and I'm down to 28.5", which given I gave it a light trim to neaten up the ends last month is pretty much what I'd expect the be up to now. :)

[Deimos]

Hanging around at 78 cm/30.7 inches (stretched)
I started in January at 61 cm (24 inches) So my hair is actually growing :D and faster then the average 12 cm/yr I expected :D

[Laylah]

31.5 inches. I can't believe I missed this thread for so long!

[natorade]

well, I don't normally measure till around the 27th of the month, but yesterday when I was doing my hair I was noticing alot of new root growth from my last highlight job 5 weeks ago. I measured the roots and I have 1 inch of root regrowth since the highlight job. I would love for my hair to keep growing at that rate.

[chrissy-b]

25.5" Up 1/2 inch since November 23rd.

Your hair has grown a foot since the last time we talked, LOL

Thanks, it does look a bit longer. I must have been doing measurements inaccurately before because according to my measurements I haven't really gained much length at all. Yet, I do notice a good difference in my hair since joining the site :)

[Isa-belle]

My hair is now 37", woohoo I can't believe it :cheese: Only 2 1/2 " to go until I reach my main goal of a meter of hair! :D

[Kerynna]

I trimmed about 1/2 " in October and measured right after, 27". Today, it is *still* exactly 27" ! What happened? I've been getting steady growth of 1/2" a month up until now. Drat.
