June 2011 Measure In!

[NaiadOreiad]

Summer is finally here! lets drag out the measuring tapes again and see our progress!

May 2011- 21 in
June 2011- 22.5 in :D

1.5 inches to BSL!

Looks like my lapse in going to the gym slowed my growth during the second half of the month, more motivation to get to the gym i guess!

Where are you all at now? :)

[silvermoon_76]

27 inches. First ever measurement. Which honestly seems ridiculously short for me. I don't think my hair has been growing at all for the past few months, because the last time I cut was in September and I definitely did not cut it less than APL.

But now I'm excited and can't wait for July measure-in :P

[sweetestpoison]

24 inchessssss.. only 4 away from waist!!! :hollie::cheese::joy: and any other excited emoticon with arms i could find haha.. Hopefully i'll be there by halloween!! And perhaps at my goal of 32 inches in a year... So exciteddddd!!!

[oktobergoud]

I have no idea, I never measure, heck, I think my hair's too short to measure! I think I'm about 4 inches? :P And shortest 2 inches or so? :P

[ArienEllariel]

Still hovering around 25in. My hair feels so short to me. Grow hair, grow!

[Nipushiau]

Last I checked, about 29 inches, which it's been for about 3 months. I took the "no trims in 2011" challange and I'm wondering if that is what's slowing down my progress....

[Mesmerise]

I'm not measuring until July 1st, but I'm there with everyone in spirit! I can't wait to see what I measure next month!!

[tgagurl27]

27 now.. Just! I'm hardly there maybe just the one strand haha but that still counts to me haha

[Nicolioli]

May 1st - 24"
June 1st - 25 1/2"

I think there was a bit of shrinkage in my May measurement though; my hair was curlier then and today it's far more wavy. Still, I'm not complaining :p Only 5 inches left to waist!

[kyandii]

24.

Hairdresser cut an inch off. D:

[butterflycayton]

Finally made it to 28 inches!! yay! Been in a stall for three or four months, stuck at 27.

[Loreley]

I've just trimmed back from almost 48" to 47". I hate losing length when I'm so close to my goal but I had to do it because the ends felt dry and looked too thin. :(

[pixiestar]

17 3/4 inches, 3 1/4 till apl:)

[CoconutLover]

Just about 18 inches! 3" or so until I reach APL :)

[Jemoiselle]

May 19.5"
June 20"

All my growth was in the first two weeks of May, then nothing! Bah! Even with daily Rooibos tea, nada improvement :confused:
Better luck this month? Let's hope so!

[SheaLynne]

I finally made the length that seemed rrreaaallllyyyy long to me when I came to LHC....40 inches!!!

[Cowgirl16]

My DH measured me last night and my hair is 41.25" :joy: I'm 1.75" from my goal.

[mustpannkook]

I think 25 1/2 or 26. Measuring it myself is quite difficult as the measuring tape always falls off...

[Kristamommyx3]

That's so close! Awesome bun, by the way!




My DH measured me last night and my hair is 41.25" :joy: I'm 1.75" from my goal.

[Kristamommyx3]

Wo! You doubled your length! Very inspiring. :)




I finally made the length that seemed rrreaaallllyyyy long to me when I came to LHC....40 inches!!!

[Mrspuddinhead]

Well technially I shouldn't measure until the 9th of every month but I have no patience. So..... I measure in at 22 1/2 ". I didn't think I would be BSL until Aug but surprise, surprise.... I'm BSL!!

[EtherealOde]

I finally hit 29 inches!!! I am getting a trim in a week though, probably an inch and a half, The ends are very thin with a lot of taper to the individual hairs (damage!!!). Also I have been having to cut out a couple of fairy knots a day for the last few months, which leads me to think that trim is long overdue. I do check for splits and snip them out when I find them, thank goodness they are rare. I really love the length though, I can hardly wait for the next few months to pass so it will be back to this length and I can get started growing it even longer. :)

[GeoJ]

I gained 0.75" this month, but since I trimmed I am still at 52". I think my ends still need more trimming, so I will probably trim my growth monthly until I think my ends are nice again.

[Fairlight63]

35 1/2" for June. I am trimming or dusting every month to thicken up my ends without losing a lot of length.

[Coriander]

May: 44"
June: 36.25"

;) Yes, I had almost 8" taken off. My ends were beyond saving. Result? I love it! :)

[owlathena]

29in. I've been getting EXACTLY 0.5in. a month since I stated measuring in January.

[HairStickler]

I'm at 43.5 inches, which is 1/2" since last month.

[StarryNight]

31" even :D

[GuardGirl]

Just a lil past 23". Not sure what my measurement was for May, but I did trim a little a few weeks ago. From October 26, 2010 to today I've grown 5 inches with 3 trims. That's 5 inches in 7 months. Not bad! :)

[Angeletti]

Well the last time I updated my length I was at 42" a couple months ago, and I just trimmed off 2" an hour ago so it looks like I'm still at 42" : )

[mustpannkook]

Well technially I shouldn't measure until the 9th of every month but I have no patience. So..... I measure in at 22 1/2 ". I didn't think I would be BSL until Aug but surprise, surprise.... I'm BSL!!

http://i52.tinypic.com/2h4yf60.jpg

Jeez, mine looks just that long (well, maybe just a bit longer, but very slightly) and my bsl is about 3 inches more than yours. How tall are you?

I tried measuring again, I am at 25 inches and 5/8-s. I haven't had that long hair for hmm, 5 years. Maybe it's even longer than 5 years ago, by length, not visually...

[Emerald88]

I reached my goal of 48 inches! I am on to my new goal of 50 inches and then we'll see.

[Guenhwyvar]

31' :) My first measurement on the 1st of the month

[SpeakingEZ]

I reached my goal of 48 inches! I am on to my new goal of 50 inches and then we'll see.

Ooooh . . . that's my ultimate goal, too. . . . Want.

I'm measuring in at 29" this month!! I'm almost back to wasit!

[battles]

I'm one of those people that can't measure their hair. Maybe I'll try later, but I'm a little scared to see what I end up with.

[skyblue]

I measured yesterday I am at 38 inches, I'm due for a trim at the end of the month but if it still looks reasonably even I'll let it go another month I want to reach 40 inches before my winter stall ;)

[Messyhair]

I'm definitely at 25" this month. Hubby mis-measured me last month. Sigh. I'm on track to hit 26" by the end of July, which is my mini-goal. He says I have a small amount that is around 25 1/4" which makes me happy.

[dancingunicorn]

About 24 inches- a little past bsl! I hope to get to waist soon which is about 30 inches :D

[HairStickler]

I reached my goal of 48 inches! I am on to my new goal of 50 inches and then we'll see.
Congrats on reaching your goal! :cheer:

[gthlvrmx]

I will be back when summer officially starts :D

[McFearless]

Summer is finally here! lets drag out the measuring tapes again and see our progress!

May 2011- 21 in
June 2011- 22.5 in :D

1.5 inches to BSL!

Looks like my lapse in going to the gym slowed my growth during the second half of the month, more motivation to get to the gym i guess!

Where are you all at now? :)

That is lots of growth! Congrats to you:)

[NaiadOreiad]

Thanks!!! I am hoping it stays strong through june so I can be all proud one the 30th (My first LHC anniversary!)

Thanks again for your kind words!

[Fayjoi]

About 33.5 inch. A growth of about 1/2 inch. I'm past waist when wet, but dry it looks shorter

[YesitsReal]

Measuring 27 1/4". Which is weird, because I got 28" on 4/28. I only did one tiny trim. Maybe I measured wrong the last time. :confused:

Oh well...just two more inches (stretched) to waist!! :joy:

[Mrspuddinhead]

@ Mustpannkook. I tried to reply directly to your comment but I keep getting a message saying something about my reply being to short by 10 letters. Any way to answer your question I'm quite short, 5"3. It also depends upon which bra I wear. If it's my purple one then 1 1/2" before BSL. I just go with my white one because I have no patiece and I'm ready to meet a small goal. ;) I measure in at 22 1/2".

[xoxophelia]

I would measure my hair but I have basically given up measuring for about the rest of the year :D

I'm not really in a rush to get my hair longer.. it will grow on its own. I just want to make my hair healthier ^^

(aka I'm cutting off damage so attempts at fast growth are futile.. hmph)

[Night_Kitten]

I'm at 105.5cm (41.5''), +0.5cm of net growth from last month (I trimmed ~1/2 cm earlier today)

[jojo]

I am due to measure on the 10th but just wanted to say well done for gaining, even the smallest gains are a step closer!

[Avital88]

I cutted an inch off may 17th, so i think i'm still at 35inches.It is growing faster though, i try not to post length pics and no measuring until july.I go on holiday so hopefully that will give me a spurt..

[freckles]

I'm sitting at around 32 and 1/4 at the moment :)

[spitfire511]

At 18". I did my first real S&D yesterday - and woo - hoo! I can't believe what a difference it made in how my hair feels! Woo-hoo! :D

[slz]

WooHoo ! Milestone ! In centimeters, that is : 150 cm as of yesterday. Which makes 59.1 inches, not so impressive .... 60 inches will be the next significant step :D .

[Misty'sMess]

WooHoo ! Milestone ! In centimeters, that is : 150 cm as of yesterday. Which makes 59.1 inches, not so impressive .... 60 inches will be the next significant step :D .

59.1 inches isn't impressive?! You have got to be kidding. It is so cool!

[Earth Angel]

Last measured on March 30th 2011 - 22"
June 3rd 2011 - 23"
I estimate it will be 23.5 by end of June ;)

[Mirsha]

A little less than 25inch, about 24.8 or so~

I strongly suspect I'll be reaching the top of my bra band(26") (barely) at the end of July, so that's APL to BSL in a little less than 7 months :)

[jesis]

25 inches! My hair grew an inch last month! One more inch to BSL! I'm so excited! :D

[WaterMusic]

Beginning of April I was 24", in May I was 25", and on June 1st I was 25.5". I think the one inch grow in April was due to putting peppermint oil in my ACV rinses, I'm going to start doing that again.

[dmarie63]

I'm measuring 20 inches. Only a couple more inches until APL :)

[Garnet66]

My first measurement since growing again is 16 5/8. Which dh says is 1/8 more than 16 1/2. I'm horrible with measurements so I needed that explanation.

[allnight avenue]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what are the guidelines for measuring? do you measure from root to tip of your longest bits of hair? or what?

[prettykitty]

I did (with hubby's help) my first real measure this weekend, and came in at 26.5". I'm sort of mostly BSL, but still have a few layers, etc hanging around. I'm hoping for 30" by year's end, although that seems a pretty lofty goal just now :)

[Mrspuddinhead]

My mother and sister in law came over today to cut the kids hair. I must admit I was extremely tempted to have mine cut as well because I'm getting quite annoyed with my bangs. Any way I reminded my self NO CUTS!! So, I'm still hanging in there.

[ifthemoonsmiled]

This is my first time ever measuring! I am at 14.5", assuming I did it right. Can't wait to see my results in July!

[sarahramen]

27 inches which is .5 inch less than in may:( I had my dad trim it oh well nice blunt hemline now.

[NaiadOreiad]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what are the guidelines for measuring? do you measure from root to tip of your longest bits of hair? or what?

From the center front of your hairline, over your crown and down your back to the ends of the longest bits.

Even though it isn't accurately measuring the hair itself, it is easy, and its a good guide to determine how much overall you are growing. :D

[Ligeia_13]

15 inches :(

poop. I'll measure again in September, hopefully it will have grown a bit more :p

[RubyEmpress]

First time ever actually measuring and I am coming in at 26" :)

[craftybunn]

I haven't checked in to LHC in a while but I have been keeping track of my growth. It seems I really stalled out those last few months of winter but had a big growth this past month. I'm at 29"! That's a whole inch since the last time I measured which I'm pretty sure was early May. YAY! Warm weather growth!Bring it on!!

[bondeandeebowl]

I will measure next Tuesday.....I'm really hoping to be out of the teens, at least when wet!

[rosek]

I cut back to 46.5'' Much happier with the hemline!

[JamieLeigh]

December 2010 - when I stopped trimming - 43.5" (about an inch and a half past classic length)
March 2011 - 47" (around fingertip)
June 2011 - now - 49.5" (lower-mid-thigh length, it really took off growing right at first, but it's slowing down some as it nears knee-length, I can tell)

[Carolyn]

36 1/4" or what I call hip length.

[battles]

Measured 15 inches yesterday. Hope I did it right. :surprise:

[kyandii]

June 24.5
Same as last month. No trims until end of July now.

[Mrspuddinhead]

Ok, hopefully this is correct. I've measured at least 5 times in a row and have gotten the same number all 5 times. I keep trying to measure the same day each month but having no patience. I've not been doing to well..... opps!! I measure in at 23".

[bondeandeebowl]

Okay, so today is my measuring day! I measured wet, as I did last time.

May 14th - 19 inches wet
June 14th - 20 inches wet

One inch! Dry I'm hovering around 19.5 inches, whereas I was hovering at 18.5 last month. Any time now, summer growth spurt!

[Dare_to_Dream]

You have all inspired me to start measuring my hair. Great progress everyone.
