Well it looks as though I am growing, 18.5" this month.
I was very sick a few weeks ago. I am still a bit sore from the pneumonia. I am glad my mother got me those massage gift certificates for my birthday back in August. I have not used them and now I know why; I need them now lol.
Anyway, I know my growth is less because I was sick and my body is still trying to heal. However, I do know what my genetic potential is. Back in September, I cut my mother’s hair. She has not had a trim since and her hair is about 3 inches longer. Which means her hair grows approximately ¾ of an inch a month. Therefore, I know I can get that when I am at my strongest and healthiest.
I am still grateful for the growth I received. I look at it as natures New Year’s gift to me.
Oh, I put up a new signature picture.
Happy New Year Everyone!

I'm measuring in at 26". I have a trim on Tuesday, however I don't expect her to take off any length.

, I'm glad you're on the mend. I suggest taking some ibuprofen before your first massage, 'cause it will probably be pretty rough.
Your curls are coming along nicely. Does your son have curly hair?

Healthy hair is beautiful no matter what length it is.

Thank you. I am pretty happy about my progress.
Yes, my son does have curly hair. I just started using oil in his hair at bath time as we as putting a little in with his water. He smells so good after and his hair looks great.

24" today, at my longest layer!! After no growth for 5 mo., it's very good to see it's back to my usual 1/2" per month. Apparently my hair was in a resting phase, which started out with a massive shed in June, which totally freaked me out
. But all is well now and perhaps waist length is still possible. My hairdresser is doubtful, given the very fine texture of my hair, but we will see.

34.5"
Might be a bit more than that, but I'm rounding to the nearest half-inch for simplicity's sake.

Well I'm starting out 2010 with 21 3/4". I've never measured my hair correctly before. So we'll see how fast I'm actually growing. Hm...
I just trimmed it, and that took off about an inch and a half. I hadn't gotten a trim for months because I didn't have the money to drop and... dangit I didn't want to give up the length.
But the ends were getting to the point where they'd tangle within 30 minutes of a brushing.
Not fun. So I found Feye's self trimming guide and gave myself a U-shape. Talk about nerve wracking! I've never trimmed my own hair before. But it worked. And I'm never going to a salon and dropping $30 for a hairstylist to take more than what I told them to cut again. Lol.
I also just bought a boar bristle brush which I absolutely love and am already seeing results from, as well as Infusium 23 Leave-In Treatment (moisturologie). Loving that too, so far.
