I love trim day. It seems to always fall on the day when my hair feels the dryest and is really in need of a trim. Plus, I'm really starting to get the hang of trimming evenly. My ends look really blunt (and thick!
) right now. Plus, when I did my dry measurements, I had no length missing, though I felt as though I trimmed off about .2"! Oh well... we'll see on measure-in day!
Last time I used the MM calendar, it really worked. In October-December I was getting really bad growth, and I trimmed on December 19th for length. On my measure-in day on January 1, I saw that I grew 0.5" since my December measure-in. The next month I got 1.1"! And then I trimmed again in February, and got 0.6" (which I think is quite good!). Both of those lengthening trims helped me reach my first length goal as quickly as possible... now I want hair that is beautiful as well as long. It has been thinning lately, so hopefully trimming today for thickness will work. I can only dream that my hair was as thick and gorgeous as Starfilly's hair...
Oh yeah, next month I want to measure my ponytail to see if it really has gotten thicker. I don't know when it was, but about a week ago I measured it and got 3.9". I'd like to see how it fluctuates throughout the year!
I also calculated today that if my hair grows 1/2" every month (including this month), I should be at 33" in September. That is tailbone for me (well, theoretically, because 33" of wet hair equals about 32" of dry hair for me!). That is my next length goal! And maybe in a year from today I will be at my final length goal... hmm, I wonder what I will want to do with my hair then?
Love,
