42" even this month. I measured about the second week last month, so it's not surprising that I am only showing 1/4" growth since then. Only 3 inches to go to my goal length!

My measurement for this month is 41 1/2 inches. Last month was 42 1/2" and I had a 1 1/2 inch trim after that, so I had a 1/2 inch growth, which is pretty normal. I still need to trim more I think, but I am waiting it out for a while.

This month's measurement is 42 1/2 inches, same as last month, so no growth. I have been shedding excessively and had a lot of breakage over the last 6 weeks, so I wonder if my hair is just going through a phase of some sort. I have never recorded no growth in the last two years since I have been measuring.

I measured 43 1/2" this month, so only 1/4 inch growth. I was getting a 1/2 inch per month before I trimmed 2 inches off last month, so now I am going to wait to trim any more until I reach my goal of 45".

I measured 44 1/2 inches this month, so I got a full inch of growth. My ends have been horrible, so I cut off 1 1/4 inches to make my hair 43 1/4 inches now.

Yeah!!! I have officially reached my goal of 45 inches length. This is the longest my hair has been and I am of a mind to grow until I find out what my terminal length is. My next goal is 48" which should happen about the first of the new year if I don't have to trim.

I measure 45 1/4 inches, so only 1/4 inch growth this month. I was hoping for more. I know I will need to trim soon and I don't want to go back more than 45 right now.

Well, I trimmed off an inch on Saturday and my measurement is back to 45 inches, so I had a pretty good month growth wise. My ends were tangling really bad and even though the ends looked good, very few splits, I went ahead & trimmed an inch. I was going to do 3 inches, but I wanted to see how it reacted to just one inch first. The splits that I do have are all along the length, not on the very ends, so unless I trim off 8 inches, it isn't going to help much. I don't have the time or patience to twist & trim all the splits along the length right now, so I will have to see how it goes this month & decide if I want to trim any more off. I really just have not been happy with my hair at all lately. The shedding has not improved and I am just frustrated with it for some reason. I may have to start varying my routine to see if it helps any. I have actually considered doing a major trim of several inches, but I know I would regret it, so I am trying to deal with this phase my hair seems to be going through.

I measured 45 1/2 inches this morning. I haven't trimmed yet and I am debating on whether or not to keep trimming at a blunt hemline. I really liked the U shape better.
1/3/08 - trimmed off 1/2 inch, so I am at 45 inches.

I got my usual 1/2 inch growth, so I am at 45 1/2. I have been trimming off 1/2 inch for the past 4 months, but I did not trim this time. Honestly, I can't tell that it is helping at this point, so I am going to let it go for a while.
My personal life has, shall we say, left much to be desired lately and I haven't been happy with much of anything, including my hair. I (almost) cut off my hair completely about 5 days ago. I was having an awful time and just had the urge to chop it totally off. Luckily, I resisted it and did not do something I know I would regret. Hopefully, things will start looking up from here.

I measured 45 1/2 inches this month. The bangs I cut are 15 inches. It will be interesting to see what growth I get on the bangs compared to my length.

I measured in at 45 1/2, which is only 1/4 inch growth this past month. I remembered to measure my "bangs" and they were 17 inches, so I have had 2 inches growth on them in two months.

Okay, this is weird, I have never gone 2 months without growth. I still measured 45 1/2 on the length, but 18 on the bangs, which would be a 1/2 inch growth on them. I hope GM's theory isn't correct on my hair!
I'm still at the same measurements - 45 1/2 length 18 on the bangs. I did cut between 1/2 to 1 inch a few weeks ago, so I obviously got some growth, but it has definately slowed down.
I only got 1/4 inch growth, but I am at 45 3/4 inches, which is the longest my hair has ever been. I was at this length exactly 1 year ago, but my hair was cut in a V shape then, so that was only the point. Now it is cut almost straight across at that length. Still looking to make 48 inches.
This may be the last time I get to say this: This is my longest hair ever - 47 inches length with 20 inches on my bangs. I am going to cut for sure, I just have to decide how much I am cutting. The ends are tangling really bad and starting to thin out and just look unhealthy to me. I have considered cutting all the way back to waist, but I am not sure yet. I am definatley cutting at least 4 inches. I will update here after I cut.
I measured 45 inches length. This 1st week of January, I cut around 3 inches off, so that is why I am going backwards. We had a major ice storm and have been without power for the past week, so I haven't had time to even think about my hair, so I still haven't decided how much more I want to cut.

I am at 44 inches length, which is exactly where I was 2 years ago. It seems so strange to me that what feels like a huge cut to me no one else notices. I basically cut off 2 years of growth which is a lot to me. There is no doubt my hair is still very long, but now I am re-thinking cutting more. I only layered the bottom 2 inches, so I may end up cutting that back to one length, but not for now. I really don't like my side layers. It looks good when my hair is down, but I hardly ever wear it down and it is a pain for updos and it seems to make my hair more prone to split ends. I am thinking of cutting the fringe in the front from chin length to cheekbone so I have a little bit of bangs to break up the "severe" look of buns and let the rest grow back out. We'll see.

Itrimmed another inch or so and I am still at 44 inches. My hair has been so awful lately that I have neglected it. I really need a new water softener as our old one is not working and our well water is very hard. I am going to start looking and try to get one before the end of the year. Last night, I did a clarifying treatment with baking soda, a vinegar rinse, and I used a protein conditioner. It worked pretty well. I need to trim the splits up the legth of my hair and do a deep conditioning treatment this weekend & I hope I will have time to do it. It has been over a year since I have done any deep conditioning. The garden is taking up all my time extra time right now.

Current length is 44 1/4 inches. I cut full bangs (right below my eyebrows)last week from the fringe that was just below chin length. I am not used to them yet. I figured I might as well try it out now andif I don't like it I can always grow them back out since it was already at chin length. I will try to post a picture soon.

I measured 45 inches, so not much growth. I am still not happy with my ends even though I have been trimming almost all growth for the past 8 months, so I am considering a trim of several inches.
