July 2008 Measure In

[Dulci]

I've never started a monthly measure in thread before, but here goes!

I measured the other day, it's now at 51". That's down from 55", I've been snipping off an inch or so after every wash for a while.

[Garnet66]

I'm at 16 1/2 inches up from 15 in April.

[Cinnamon Hair]

:scared: It's July already?! My month to trim. Pre-trim measurement is 56.5" so up 1/2" this month.

ETA: Trimmed back to just below knee crease today. 07/01/08 @ 54"

[Robbi Dehlinger]

Hi!

Got another inch of growth this month

Now at 18 inches!

I LOVE my hair!:)

[SweetPea88]

Just checking in really quick!

Pre-trim: 30.75" (up 1/2 inch)
Post-trim: 30.5 (which doesn't seem right...hmm)

[longinthehair]

Believe another 1/4" (at least the longest hairs)..(as a non-trimmer)..wrong measurement before - now 36.50".

[Florida Mom]

Up to 26 3/4 - that's a typical 1/2 inch of growth this month. About another inch to waist!!!!

[Mrs_Zombie]

Up to 20" from 19" in June. My hair had stalled for about a month so i'm glad to see its catching up to where it should be. Hopefully i'll get another inch of growth this month.

W00T!!

[Guenever]

Still maintaining at 37,5-38" - cut off 0,78" of growth this month!

[Radulfr]

When it's wet it grows to about 35"
When it's dry, it springs back to about 29". :(
That should tell you something about the somewhat wavy/poofy nature of my hair.

[Igor]

115 cm or 45,3 inches
It’s getting too long to measure on my own :lol:

[jojo]

24.5" for me so a typical 1/2", just 1" to the top of bra strap!

Hoping for better growth next month with the monistat

[harpgal]

50 inches....finally!

[Mely]

How do you do the measuring? Is curly/wavey hair pulled straight? Hair wet or dry?

However you like, the measurements are for your use.

Personally I usually measure mine dripping wet and combed straight.

[Dulci]

Mely I searched through the articles section and found this one (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/vbjournal.php?do=article&articleid=9), hope that helps! :flower:

[ladystar]

About 1/2 inch, had a small trim. 27"

[FrannyG]

From 22 7/8 to 23 1/2 inches, so 1.5 inches in the past 2 months! I'm pleased.

[thetokenlady]

29.5, up an inch from last month after my trim.

[mommy2one05]

I'm at 32 1/2 this month, so I only gained 1/4....slow growth this month.

[xrosiex]

Geez I'm trying not to measure for awhile. And this tread is making really making it hard.:confused:

[RavennaNight]

Yay! It grew! 26"! Time to update my stats!:cool:

[LadyMoon11]

Still about 32.5". I did a lot of S&D this month, so no real measurable growth, but nice soft ends. :D

[Kiraela]

Lessee, after my panic of a few days ago, I was pleased to discover that it has in fact grown, not shrunk! I gained all of 1/8 of an inch this month... woo. 0.125" of growth! I think I need a trim. Bah.

[enitsirk]

I haven't measured in months because I don't really care to, and because it's gotten to be really difficult. I just did a really quick measuring which probably isn't all that accurate because
A: my hair was just removed from a bun
and
B: the aforementioned difficulty with measuring on my own.

But I got ~48"

[hippiechick1976]

I am about 28.75 after a 1 inch trim this month. It had been 17 months since last trim. I have done a couple dusting on myself where I cut the few scragglers that stuck out from the rest:) Hopefully it will start growing again. Summer seems to kick it off and last year i averaged a inch a month for 4 months then stalled..hopefully it picks up again soon:)

[GlennaGirl]

23", but I haven't measured in a few months so I don't know how much growth that is. I usually grow about .5-.75" a month.

[jessie58]

26 inches.

[socks]

It should be about 63.5 inches, but I'll check tomorrow when I wash my hair. To measure my hair, I basically have to get it wet, mark where it reaches on my calf with sharpie, ducttape two measuring tapes together, then get someone to kneel behind me and read the measuring tapes. It's sort of a pain to do. :rolleyes:

[tiny_teesha]

29" again, I am going to trim in a week and a half and i will trim 1cm (from 72cm -71cm) Which will leave me at 28.75"? I'm not too good at converting! But in the next month i'll be 29" again, i am maintaining :)

[cassie_g]

I'm at 38" now. That's a whole inch of growth in a month.

[harley mama]

I am now at 35 1/4".

Another 1/4" since I last measured. I'll take it!

[velvetcat]

36.5, down from 39...I got a trim, but I wasn't expecting to be back where I was in Jan!

I'm rather disappointed, and it didn't seem to make any difference in how it looks or feels.

[Liluri]

77.5 cm, or about 30.5 inches as measured by DH :)

[Fireweed]

33 inches and the ends look good.

[Kelpie]

I'm now at 32 inches. It seems to have grown 2 inches in the last 3 months, which is quick for me. It feels longer too. I hope I can keep this up.

[burns_erin]

19 inches, I think that is about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch a month on average.

[Lillian]

My hair grew an entire inch this month - very odd. It measured in at 45", but I've just this minute trimmed an inch, so I'm back at 44" (which means I don't have to change my profile, very handy!). :D

63 3/4! :joy: That biotin supplement must be helping!

[The Flame]

34 this month . . . I'm pleased.

[julya]

I haven't measured since April, and I'm up to 43"! It's still growing, an inch in about 2.5 months!

[Ndnlady]

Still at 32" ...I think the stress I have been going through has been stunting my hair growth :rolleyes:

[Michiru]

about 32 inches.

[Riot Crrl]

Well, June was not up from May at all no matter how much I measured. 26.5, 26.5. Now it is 27.5. I guess it's true about "average" growth, haha.

[Little_Bird]

So here's my measurements:

I am up from 34.84 inches to 35.43 inches, having gained half an inch of growth (1,5 cm)...

I'm happy with it :)

I can't wait untill I get to 37 inches... than it's only another 10 inches to go untill I hit classic lenght!

[betsala]

i am at 32, so i'm up 1 inch this month! this seems like a lot for me though, so i bet i measured incorrectly last time (though i wouldn't mind an inch a month in growth :) ).

[Meli]

33.75", up 0.25". Not as much as I had hoped, but I have had trouble with random breakage lately, so I should perhaps be happy I gained any length at all. I think I have found the cause now - dryness. It seems like my hair needs different treatment depending on season.

[suicides_eve]

i am only at 17" this month i could swear it seems longer but i measured it like 5 times i am only up a little bit from last month grrrr.. half inch to be exact . Must be comming up on a stall

[nastasska]

No growth to speak of :(It's been a very stressful month

[pinkprincess]

Yayy!!! 30" at last! Only a couple of inches to waist!

[KarenLynn]

95,5 cm/37.6 inches, which is up 1,3 cm/0.5 inches since June 1st.

[rhosyn_du]

20", up from 19.5" in May. I think all the work and moving stress is seriously impacting my growth. :P

[goldenwaves]

28.6 inches...ish...it's hard to tell exactly!!

[Wanderer09]

24 inches when wet. Yay!

[Samara Morgan]

Mines is now at 41" when the last time I measured was 40.5", which includes a small trim as well so I'm quite happy :)

[podo]

*sigh*

Still at 30".

[girlcat36]

[yogachic]

Still at 30".

Jan 2008 - 30"

Oh No! Do you think you've reached terminal?

[podo]

Oh No! Do you think you've reached terminal?

No... Last Thanksgiving I cut 6" off and went to 28". I had amazing growth in the last part of November and December, and then NOTHING!

I know I can go to at least 34" - I've done it. But that's the longest it's ever been. I really really really hope that this is not terminal length for me. I'm currently blaming it on medications (hormones) and monistat treatments, so I've stopped every commercially-made product from going onto my hair. We'll see how that goes.

:pray: :knit:

[Saranne772]

I lost my measure!! I need to find it too as Im visiting a little friend (she is 10) who is also growing her hair.
I should be about 39" ish

[Saranne772]

39" inches is what I am at! Right on target!! :D Found my tapemeasure finally!! :)

[jenna]

yuck. i just measured and it turns out i'm one inch shorter than i thought i was. oh well. 29". and i got my dad to measure down to where 45" is, just to see how long it would be. wowza. right about classic, i think.

[Robbi Dehlinger]

You must have a longer torso than I? 41" will be classic for me?
