Oh, I heard head banging can slow down growth.

My ends were feeling less than pleasant to deal with. They weren't split, but they just felt "grabby" and clarifying didn't help them, so I went ahead and trimmed. I meant to take off a quarter inch, but I seemed to have issues controlling the amount that I was cutting and by the time I got it even, I think I might have taken off just over a half inch. So, that will definitely set back my official date for declaring APL. Oh well....I DO love a perfect hemline! Might clarify again tonight and do a deep treatment. I seem to have oily root/dry end syndrome happening a lot lately. My scalp just feels a bit gunky since I've been using less sulfates.
For those who have curly/wavy hair...do you measure your length with your hair curly or when brushed/pulled straight? I have at least 2-3 more inches when my curls are pulled out
I am measuring dry curly hair. I have pulled it straight though just for the visual when I'm feeling discouraged by the slow growth!Quote:

Stretched I am about an inch away from APL. I hope by this time next year to be just past BSL and headed to waist. Of course, I know better than to count my chicks before they are hatched.
Happy growing everyone.

I don't even have curls and my hair shrinks. That is why I have decided to call it when it reaches APL stretched. I have a bit of waviness but I don't understand the shrinkage. Well, I think it can have to do with moisture.Quote:

I only measure wet right out of the shower. My hair is too hard to measure accurately with the waves otherwise. I don't feel like that is cheating or anything because it truly is how long my hair is. Measuring body markers when my hair is wet or dry and stretched is a little different. I like to reach them dry.Quote:
