Non-Trimmers Measure-In

[Guenever]

- The thread for LHCers without/that hate/that can't find scissors^^ you pick..
I felt like something was missing from the Polls and Projects-forum.. so I'm restarting the trimmers/non-trimmers threads, originally posted by Spidermom..

Yay! I really missed these threads! May I suggest that those who can edit their posts go back to their original post to add new measurements. I think that was done in the old threads to make it easier to follow each person's growth progress.

I'm a non-trimmer, going for terminal. My last trim was on December 23, 2007. I only do S&D.

My measurements:
January 1st: 31" waistlength
February 1st: 31.75" (+0.75")
March 1st: 32.25" (+0.5")
April 1st: 32.75" (+0.5")
May 1st: 33.25" (+0.5")
June 1st: 33.5" (+0.25")
July 1st: 33.75" (+0.25")
July 31st: 33.75" (no gained length)

As my lately slow growth and stalling seems to be caused by breakage, I will have to start trimming until my old damage is gone. As my final goal still is terminal length, I will one day go back to non-trimming, though.

Hurray! I was wondering if this thread would come back. I'm a non-trimmer for life and so I am going for terminal. I don't cut my hair for reasons of faith.

My measurements so far:

October 2007 28"
November 2007 29"
December 2007 30"
January 2008 31"
February 2008 32"
March 2008 33"
April 2008 33.75"
May 2008 34.25"

Trimmed quite a bit in June 2008. No longer a non-trimmer. *bows out of the thread quietly*

Wow! It looks like your hair grew one inch a month? Where you taking any supplements to make your hair grow quickly during this time? I am impressed.

Hubby measured yesterday and my hair is 24 inches. It was 22 inches in January 2009 so it has grown 2 inches in 4 months Last year it averaged slightly less than that, this year I am taking Biotin 5,000 mcg daily.

Hello, This is awesome, (and I am replying to an original page post!)

My measurements
May 23rd 2019 33" at waist-upper hip-length
My goal is to go terminal length but mini-goal is below my but, (I'm long waisted and 5'11")
This last 18 months I trimmed about 4 inches in May 2017 and then about 5 more in January 2018 too then about 2 more in May of 2018 trying to trim off old wreckage from a 2013 hair fiasco.

It could use another trim but, I'd like to get some length going first.

I hope its ok, if I post here.
I would like to start measuring regularly to keep me motivated.



April: 55 cm (21.5")
May: 58 cm (22.8")
June: 59 cm (23.2")
July: 59 cm (23.2") I got a little scissor happy when I cut in my bangs and trimmed maybe 2 cm off my length. It seems like I trimmed off all my new growth. It was stupid and I won't do it again.
August: 61 cm (24'')

I will switch over to the trimmers tread.

I am a non-trimmer, but i measure yearly. Last year (2007) i got 7.5 inches.

I never measure monthly i just find it obsessive

I usually just assume ill get 6 inches that way i wont be dissapointed but suprised.

The only purpose i see in measuring hair is a yearly goal tactic other than that it seems pointless and obsessive.

I'm a non-trimmer simply because I KNOW I'd mess it up!!!! My last salon trim was a year ago. As for length...I haven't measured lately....I guess I should!

I think you just totally described ME--pointless & obsessive! *giggle* I am the same way with weighing myself--I am controlled by those stupid numbers *sigh* Do they have measurers anonymous?
