I feel like such a dork. I've been measuring my hair from the side of my head and wondering why I had so few inches relative to everyone else. I thought maybe I am a lot shorter than the rest of you (I'm 5'4). Turns out I was supposed to be measuring, according to LHC instructions, from my FRONT HAIRLINE. So I've "grown" to 20" in a single day. Neat.

I love it! I think I'll start measuring from the tip of my nose so that I can have a growth spurt, too.

I'll save that for the next growth stall.

Yeah I should change my measurement since my hair is actually 6 inches from the nape rather than the front hairline (but it is 6 inches all over, ie. unintentionally layered). I'll go do that right now. :D

:lol: I did the exact same thing when I first joined the hair boards! It's pretty cool when your realize this, though, because like you said, all of a sudden you have 4 extra inches! :grin:

I was confused when I first joined! Somehow I came across a post on how to measure! I'm still not good at measuring- it's so awkward, but at least we're on the right track now!

Hee hee! Congratulations on your "spurt"!

Now that you know how to do it, you can enter the glorious world of getting a friend or SO to hold the tape measure for you. Monthly drama at my house:

Me: Do you have the longest end? Is it taut? Are you sure you're pulling it taut???

DH: :rolleyes:

dorothea-brooke, it happens with me too, but with my sister!

It's hard to measure it ourselves isn't it? :p

lol, very cute! I still have trouble measuring so I get my DH to do it for me! I know he thinks its silly, but he does it without laughing every month!

LOL. I measure myself...my family already thinks I'm insane enough as it is.

Oh, if I could do it myself, I would! I know my DH thinks I'm nuts.

He also thinks the pictures are kind of nutty, too, but he's sweet and indulgent about all of it. :flower:

My head is so huge, that I probably gain about 5" from the nape of my neck. Maybe we should get people to measure from the nape and the front hairline so we can see who has the big Munster heads!
