You're welcome. 1992....wow that seems so long ago. But your hair's come quite a long way!
Hey Babycheeks Yours is 30 too, huh? If you're at BSL right now, it shouldn't be too much longer till you get to waist length. But it looks like we've both got quite a wait. Maybe by ...2008, we'll be there.

Thanks for the tip on how to measure the hair growth. My goal...I'm not too sure. I think somewhere around 30 inches would put it to my waist... so that's about where I'd like to get my hair to. Yours is very impressive! That must've taken about ten years to grow to that length, yeah?

Some people favor a measuring method which gives consistent results. Hold the end of a cloth tape measure at the top of your forehead (at the hairline) and let it drape over the crown of your head and down to the ends. Sure the measure is longer than the longest strands by about 6 inches, but if you repeat the process every month for a few months, you start to get a good idea how much your hair grows every month.
Yeah, I've got to remember to do that (keep track of how much my hair grows per month). I think my hair grows especially slow...but I'm not sure. It might just seem that way. But Yeah I'll have to check it!

Yeap! that sounds right. Although, some people are the exception. Like myself. My hair grows about 1 inch per month instead of 1/2. So it grows much faster than most people. Keep track and see if your hair is growing more than 1/2 an inch. Maybe you'll reach your goal sooner.
I'm in the process of trying to grow my hair out again... So, I started to make a little "chart" to try to figure out about how long it will take to reach a specific length.
If I remember correctly... hair is suppose to grow about half an inch per month, right?
So that would mean... one full inch every two months.
Which then would mean that hair grows about six inches per year (not counting trims).
So (for me personally) it would take about 2 to 3 years to grow my hair an additional 12 to 18 inches.

It took about 10 years or so (maybe more, yah) to reach this length. I started growing in 1992... during the last millenium, how archaic.
