How about a 'No Length Check Challenge'?

**NicoleJean** · August 5th, 2019, 02:23 AM

Oh I think I can only make it to September 1. My last measurement and photo was July 1.

Ah, I like the idea, but I'm pretty sure I can't wait 3 months before I need to trim again, and if and when I trim, I need to measure. (I trim always when my ends start to feel so bad I can't live with them anymore. Usually this is around every 3 months). Maybe after my next trim... If I'll trim in the end of September, I could do the rest of the year. I need to think about this.

I don't measure regularly, but I'm probably doing it once a month anyway...

I don't think I've used a measuring tape or a photo to measure length in quite a long time. I quickly gave up on measuring tapes because I was getting all sorts of different numbers, and I don't have a good and easy way of getting length photos in any case.
I just generally check manually once in a while before/during a shower.

I'm in

I made it to APL recently and now there's the long-ish road to BSL. It would be better to not check my length for the time being. I already dropped out from the monthly progress picture thread and haven't touched the measuring tape in months. Going to take my last picture today and then be done with it for three months. I'll re-evaluate the situation on 5th of November.

I'm in. I last checked my length in June, so I would have to hold off until year end. Sounds doable to me

I'm in. I've not measured in *years*. When I started, oh yes, but now, nope, not worth taking the time.

I have no expectation of reaching knee any time soon, so I clearly belong here.

Like embee, I haven't use a tape in some time, and I've been habitually late noticing the most recent body markers. Not sure that makes me a "veteran" or just laaaazy.

I'm in as well. I have been obsessively checking my length a lot lately due to a trim and find myself comparing to where I would have been etc. No more of that.
I am in for the easy mode to begin with. So no checking on the length for me until October. That seriously does sound like it would be quite enjoyable to check my length in 3 months to see actual visible growth.

Oh believe me, it is! Back when I used to straighten my hair, I got to the point of waiting 3 month intervals between straightening. Then my hair looked sooo much longer. If I check monthly however, it seems pretty grim. So I'm trying to put some blinders on and force myself to stop obsessing! It's fun not knowing how long my hair is

can't frustrate me if I don't know

I'm in for the rest of the year; I was planning on checking more but I think I need to just leave it be since checking is upsetting me.

So from now till about the first week of January!
