Maybe it was due to shrinkage

I'm thinking it's that most likely. I'm not shy about stretching my own hair out to measure it, but I had to reassure DH that it was okay to pull it straight. I think he was trying not to hurt me which is sweet, but I think I might just self-measure from here on out.

I might just split the difference for those months, no biggie

Maybe he thought it wouldn't curl back up if he pulled it down that's cute though haha

Side shave growth not trimming them unless they can be shaped into a bob

1/1/23: skin shave with razor
1/2/23: no 3 on a clipper guard

I got 28 and a half inches for my longest strand stretched. It was challenging to measure on my own: tape measure, 2 mirrors, keeping still, stretching out curls at the end! LOL!

I added the pony circumference data here as well. My hair texture changes as my hair gets longer and buns up most of the time.

Last 3 months:
31 Aug = Bangs - 16", LHC method - 26.5"
30 Sep = Bangs - 16.5" LHC method - 27"
31 Oct = Bangs - 17" LHC method - 28"

Oof. been a while since I updated
30 Nov = Bangs 17.5" LHC method - 28.5"
5 Jan = Bangs 18" LHC Method - 29"
2 Feb = Bangs 18.5" LHC Method - 29.25"

I trimmed my own hair for the first time in the begining of January! I was a little scarred to do it but so happy I did, I only took a quarter inch off and my ends look and feel so much nicer. I plan on staying in the first 6 months no trim challenge this year. With my projected growth rate I should reaching 35.25" which is almost tailbone length by June. We'll see how my hair grows this summer

I like the idea of adding the extra data, once I achieve my one length goal I might do this too if you don't mind.congrats on 100cm!
