I had a trimm two days ago, so Im right here
before cut 1.May 2008----- 30.1
after cut 9.May 2008 ------ 29.4
I have been measuring one dry lock of hair at my forehead (I have layers and each hair on my head is approximately the same length right now). I don't have a tape measure but when it is dry and I pull it straight, it is the length of my comb plus the width of one finger, with a few sparse hairs sticking out further than that. And my hair sits in the nook of my collarbone if I pull it around to the front. ah, measuring without a tape measure! I will report back in a month and see if I have any progress.

I trimmed two weekends ago, still trying to get rid of my extreme taper and even my hemline up. Probably took 1cm off the longest bits. I will try not to trim again until August or September, at the earliest.
Like Spidermom, I'm not obsessing about measuring, because then I get upset and feel like my hair isn't growing. The last 4 inches or more of my hair are still bleach and heat damage, and I probably won't have an even hemline or less taper until these, and my &^@%# layers, are gone.
My goal is waist length but THICK - if that means these tapering ends down to my tailbone, so be it - I want the very thickest part of my hair to be at waist. Right now, it's thickest between APL and shoulder, so a long way to go.
Feb 2013, solid BSL again but shedding. Wondering if this is really terminal length. Hairtype 1b/2b, F/M, ii
I microtrim every month or when I feel the hemline isn´t straight. I like my 30 inches for now.

Think I shall keep track here, a little belatedly.
April 1 - 34 inches
May 1 - 34.75 inches
Next trim - July
*Very* unusual for me to get that kind of growth, but I had significant changes to my routine during April, guess they worked!
I'm at a measly 3 inches (that's being generous). Right now I'm just texturing and trimming up the back to avoid a mullet as I grow out a pixie.
My husband just trimmed 4, yes 4 inches off. It is now just to the top
of my bra strap or so. It feels so thick and appears wavier! That was
what I wanted! I feel I can wear it down or 1/2 up without it looking
thin or straggly.
In a few months I will be back to close to what I had. Its a nice change for now!

yeah. so much better after a trim. and definitely will have it back to your length. I always cut in my bang area and those just grow so much because of no dry ends. I need to get brave and take off 2" off my ends and I would probably get better growth. but for now I am trimming about 1/2" every month to take care of ends and keep some thickness at the ends. I can't stand my hair to be thin and straggly. my curls suffer.
