After my one-inch-a-month streak, I think it's at between .5 to .75 inch growth from last month.

It's hard to see the back of my head. I'll ask DH for sure and then edit if necessary.

How did everyone else do?

ETA: ok, DH remeasured, and it turns out that the shortest layers are at 21, so that's half an inch growth for me

Virgin Hair: 8.5-9 inches in some areas (0.5 to 1 inch growth since last month)

Total Length [natural]: 41.5 inches

Bulk of Hair [natural]: Between 36 - 38 inches.

Total Length [waves pulled straight]: 43-44 inches at very tippy-tip

Thanks to my V-shaped hair, it's hard to just give one measurement. ;)

I had 2 cms growth in May, my hair was 45.5" long. But I cut an inch 2 days ago so I'm at 44.5" again. I hate losing length but I want to thicken my ends.

It's my first proper measure so I've got nothing to compare. It's 28.4 inches, about 72 centimeters:) Sounds cool.

I'm at 94.5cm (37.2''), only 0.2'' growth this month...

Woohoo! In six months, I have had 5 inches growth, meaning about .8" a month! That is what I call progress! :)

41.5 almost back to 42" whoo hoo.

39" with some stragglers going as far as 41". 10" to go to my goal length.

36 and a half inches. I was hoping for 37" now the warmer weather has kicked in, but at least I know I've had half an inches growth this month. :)

I measured in at 25.25 inches, showing 1/2 inch of growth this month. My hair has grown 6.25 inches since June 1 of last year, after 4 trims. :disco:

30.75", which puts me ever so much closer to my goal. I self trimmed off about 1/2" a few days ago, so I would have had about 1/2" of growth in a month.

Theobroma
June 1st, 2010, 05:54 AM
74cm. That amounts to three centimetres of growth in the last month!

(Now I need to hide the tape measure somewhere I won't find it for a month. The number of times I've caught myself measuring in the last couple of weeks is quite ridiculous, and it certainly isn't going to make my hair grow any faster! :D )

Fayjoi
June 1st, 2010, 06:43 AM
82 cm, so that's 1 cm (1/2 inch) of growth, which is normal. 82 cm is official waist for me, but my last trim was 7 month ago, so I might do a little trim this month.

ChrissieM
June 1st, 2010, 09:30 AM
I've had a slow month. I'm at 29 inches, which is about 1/3 inch this month. I have 1/4 inch of roots from henna that I did three weeks ago. Oh well, maybe I'll get some nicer growth next month.

June 1st, 2010, 09:34 AM
I'm at 27" this month I was 25" back in March so I been growing an inch a month. :pray: just two more inches to I am waist.

Still 0 in the most part however, there is some very fine white baby hair coming through in places not seen before. The hair in patches is curling well and is about 2 inches long (later this will have to be cut to match the rest, but I keep it just to remind the rest what to do).

I hardly ever post in these threads but I'm somewhat thrilled today to find out I am at 30"!!! This seems so long to me. I have never had my hair this long before. Woo hoo. 30". Hee hee. Planning to trim little bits to maintain at waist and tidy up the ends before attempting to reach hip.

spidermom
June 1st, 2010, 11:55 AM
First measurement in a long time: 39.5 inches.

The 4 inches that I had trimmed in mid-January are back already! My ends are still in good shape so no need to trim. Color me happy; all growth is mine to keep.

June 1st, 2010, 11:56 AM
31.25" this month, so not quite back to my length a year ago, but I'm in much better condition. I should go do a 1 year anniversary post.:)

jane53
June 1st, 2010, 12:04 PM
I just measured it again and it's 38.5. I give up! I don't know how long it is.

DH measured 30. So I'm pretty sure 32 will be solid waist/hip.

Lemur_Catta
June 1st, 2010, 02:15 PM
77 cm, 30.4 inches :) I didn't gain anything since I trimmed. But I am very happy with my hair now, because I AM A REDHEAD AGAIN :D
...well, I also have an orange forehead, and orange nails...but it was worth it :D

I've come down to 5/8" this month. Back to my normal level of growth. Maybe there is some truth to the "it grows faster after you have it cut" saying.

voluspa
June 1st, 2010, 11:58 PM
28". I was at 28.5" mid May, but had to trim off some damage... hope to get some growth back this month.

26.5 inches this month. Poo, only half an inch last month. :(

IcarusBride
June 2nd, 2010, 01:58 AM
I grew about 1" this month, which is pretty normal for me, but I also trimmed ~1/2". I think I'm going to plan on trimming 1/4"-1/2" once every 3 months (4 times/year) from now on, to keep my hemline strait and my ends (somewhat) thick.
My total length after the trim is 27 inches! I'm almost at waist; I think at 28-29" I'll definitely be there, but I'm going to call it at 30", where the bulk of my hair will be firmly at waist. I hoping to make it by the end of the summer, start of school in the fall!

Good luck to everyone!

JamieLeigh

Actually managed to gain half an inch, looks like, even though I was trying to maintain at 48" to gain thickness......so 48.5" for me. :)

Still at 32 inches when I lay the tape over my head and look in the mirror, but I'm now at 34" stretched along the tape

InTheCity

26" - Woo Hoo!

It's my longest :D and just 2 months before my wedding, I'm happy with the length.

Though not as happy as I was in the dream I just realized I had last night, where I was at waist and my hair was thicker. Sigh...

luckyduck
June 2nd, 2010, 06:51 AM
I went from 27in to 27.5 in 2 weeks last month. I hope that means 1in a month!!!! If it does I will be at waist by mid August!

Just remeasured with damp hair after washing, (same as first measurement) and I am at 28.25, That would make an 1.25 inch in 3 weeks! Unbelievable!

36 and a half inches! My hair is going through a mad growth spurt, an inch in the last month instead of my usual half inch. I credit this community :)

Coriander

39.5" ... up 1/2 an inch. :) Almost back to my 40"!

cybernetica
June 2nd, 2010, 02:38 PM
68 cm that gave me a inch growth :) This was my first monthly measure ever and it's really nice to see the progress in numbers rather then thinking your hair hasn't changed at all :P I love this site!!!

Ballerina_Boo

Sitting at 23.4 inches right now but I'm getting a trim this afternoon. So i will probably be back to 22.5 inches.

Gabriel

37.75 inches this month. Little growth spurt I think due to really warm weather. Up 0.75 inches this month because of it.

gink001
June 2nd, 2010, 07:39 PM
24 inches:cheese: (stretched at the longest layer)!!! I think that's at least 1 inch this month. The "main" part of my hair is probably around 23", which I'm still so happy with. Unhappily, looks more like APL when not stretched LOL.

My longest is at 24 inches. Seems like it is growing very slow last couple of months. could be the birth control I took last month, made me feel crazy. so take my hair vitamins everyday.

farewell_nancy
June 2nd, 2010, 11:57 PM
I only got .25 inches May so I'm at 24.5. It's not a bad length, but I was hoping to get a bit more back after my April cut.

SpeakingEZ
June 3rd, 2010, 02:08 AM
Still around 30.5", maybe 30.75" but I didn't trim this month. . . . I can only attribute my lack of growth to S+D'ing. I gained MAYBE a quarter inch.

I really need to start taking breakage seriously and get more consistent about my hair before bed. I woke up last week to DBF responding to my screams with, "you need to get a sleep cap!" and begrudgingly rolling himself off my hair. . . .

camirra555
June 3rd, 2010, 04:41 AM
I didn't measure last month so imagine how happy I was when DBF told me it was 29 inches!!!

Ravenne

I measured three times and every time it came out to 23.25"!! =D It really has grown! It doesn't look like it, but the numbers show otherwise. My last measurement was at the end of March at 22.5". 3/4" in two months with a trim that took off about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch in there somewhere. I'll take it. BSL, here I come!!

lovextaylor
June 3rd, 2010, 04:00 PM
I'm a newbie...joined in a couple months ago, so this is my first measure in! 25" which is +1" for about 2 months! and I've just started taking biotin so hopefully less shedding :)

mimi1153
June 3rd, 2010, 06:51 PM
36" -- if I remember correctly I was 35" last month at measure in!!!! That's 1" this past month. I am now taking thyroid medication and I believe it has made a difference in my hair.... a wonderful side-effect wouldn't you say? :cheese:

Still growing at a solid 0.5'', which puts me at 39.5''. Haven't noticed a winter slowdown (yet!).

SheaLynne
June 4th, 2010, 06:55 AM
Before my monthly trim, I measured 35.25 inches, but I ended up taking almost 1/2 inch off this time (instead of the usual 1/4 inch), so I'm calling it 34.75 inches for this month.

I haven't measured consistently, so I'll use this measurement as a jumping off point. Right now I am at 17 3/4 inches.

June 5th, 2010, 01:37 PM
I don't think I'm super accurate when I measure myself, but I'm around 23 inches now. So I think I am averaging at the typical 1/2 inch per month.

Grow, grow, grow!!

ButterCream
June 5th, 2010, 01:54 PM
Last month (may 5`th) I was at 26.8 inches.
Yesterday I measured 27,4

So a growth of 0,6 inches in one month, is that ok I wonder? I don`t know what everybody else usually grows but..:o.

Anyway, I am fairly happy with that I guess...

Kelli Kat
June 6th, 2010, 01:44 PM
26.5 which is a 1/2 inch growth for me, plus I trimmed a bit of the ends so the growth is actually a little more.

Jessica Trapp
June 6th, 2010, 05:31 PM
42 inches! :cheese: I'm right at "can I call this classic" and getting close to my hair goal. I really, really appreciate all the help I've gotten from LHC.

I'm back to 33.5 inches!:joy: I think it's closer to 34 because it is reaching new milestones (lowrise jeans belt). Slowly creeping along. Slow and steady wins the race... I'll just keep tellig myself that:lol:

girlcat36
June 6th, 2010, 08:12 PM
Plodding along at 1/2 in per month. 26" and finally starting to feel 'longish'.

SpinDance
June 6th, 2010, 08:26 PM
Slow but steady progress. I'm now at 34", and my hemline is better than it has ever been at this length.

GeoJ
June 6th, 2010, 08:29 PM
I only got about 0.25" of length increase, but it looks like I have a lot of new baby hairs also (I had a lot of shedding this winter).

June 7th, 2010, 11:24 AM
30.5" I can't remember what my last measurement was, but I think I got some growth.:)

30.5!! I was stoked when I measured today. I hadn't in a while and definitely wasn't expecting it! So I have gained 1.5 inches since April.

GermanCurl
June 14th, 2010, 10:44 AM
I am so exited! Although I had a micro trim in May I am finally out of the teens measuring 20 1/4 inch :cheese:

Two and half inch more and I will be a solid APL (dry and curly)!

My hair is finally starting to look long and I love it, love it , love it. Soon I can say "goodbye, adios, arrivederci and Auf Wiedersehn awkward lenght".

Never again will I have my hair shorter than APL. From chin to shoulder to APL just takes too long.

I feel the same!! I'm still at 19.5 inches. I can't stand it. It's taking forever to grow....:(

I can't wait to get to APL.

Finally I'm growing again! 26.75"

In the past 6 months I've grown a total of 2.75" so I guess I'm just a little below average overall.

Sammybunny711
June 15th, 2010, 06:39 AM
I'm at 15". I measured about 9 days ago and had it at 14.75", so I've grown a fourth of an inch in about 9-10 days. That's pretty exciting. My goal is only at 19", though, so I don't have super long to wait for my goal. :dance:
