So, here we go, entering the month where fall begins (September 22nd is the autumnal equinox). Today my length is...23.5" I had a trim in August, so now I'm back to where I was.

Angel Spun Ex Member	Re: September 2008 Reply #1 - Sep 1^st, 2008 at 7:34pm Congrats on starting your first Measure Up, Sakina. And thanx for the little fall reminder. I'm totally psyched for it! Sadly, my hair isn't very psyched. It's just barely over the 26" mark, so I'm just gonna throw my hands up and call it 26¼".

I've lost my measuring tape that had inches on it and over here all measuring tapes have centimeters on it. So I did an online conversion and I hope the online converter is correct.

42cm=16,5". I think I was at 15,3/4" last month. So the growth pattern still holds. About 3/4" a month. I don't know if it's just a summer pattern though. I only began to measure my hair in Spring so I'm still learning about my hair's growth rate.

At first I was disappointed but when I retrieved my hair measurement log, I saw that my hair had grown half an inch.

Okay. 22.5 inches this morning. 1/4 inch since last measurement, 10 days ago. I'm still getting a big trim this month, though, and I'll measure again right after. Then I'll only measure once a month.

I've been thinking about this. I was at about 14 inches the last time my hair was cut, way back in may of 07. That's roughly 8.5 inches of growth in 15 months. That's about 1/2 inch a month, a little bit more, so if I cut my hair back to 20 in, say in the middle of this month, and trim 1/2 in every 3 months, I should hit my initial goal of 24 inches in about a year.

Hi!

Although Skyfire already clarified with me that you are not supposed to measure your hair from the side of your head, but from the middle of the forehead, I have heard of people measuring from their hairline? Huh

Right now my hair is 14 and a half inches from my hairline, but 15 and a half inches from the middle of my forehaed. What one is it? *crosses her fingers* pleeeeeeeease be from the middle of the forhead Undecided

lol

Sorry. I meant your hairline, but in the center of it, on the forehead side.

I was trying to be specific, because the hairline goes all the way around, and well...I have a great curve of hairline at my forehead. I guess just above my forehead, really, huh...

anyway, draw a line straight up from the bridge of yr nose until you hit yr hairline, and that's where you start measuring. Over the top of yr head and down to the longest part of your hair.

I like measuring this way, because if you think about it, it's really the longest measurement that's just hair. None of my specific hairs are actually so long. At least, I dont' think so.

Did your hair grow three inches in one month or is it three inches long? Cuz that would really be something if it grew 3 inches in a month.
