Thank you 30isthenewblack! I just measured again as well. I think I started at 2 1/4 inches in July and am measuring at 3 1/2 now. I actually had 1/4 inch growth in last week alone!! It will be interesting to see how much growth happens by the end of this month.
Hope to see ya there PAPER.

I can't believe how much it's grown. It looks great I personally like keeping a journal, taking progress pics and measuring my hair each month. With every goal, it's good to track your progress. I also take hair vitamins (Qsillica and Figaro Hair Food which is sold in Australia) as well which I think has also helped.

OK, so it's Pic time again. It's Oct. 10th and I had my first trim on Oct. 3rd. He just dusted the ends to even up where it's been razored in the past. It's still not completely even of course because we are trying to preserve length.
I'm also researching Henna and just ordered samples to try on some hair I saved from my cut. The amount is sooooo small that I'm not sure I'll get a very good result but I'm going to try!

Thank you for your encouragement ADDY.. and for the compliments. Yea, I'll definitely be sure to convey that I only want a trim... not to go crazy!!! My intentions are to have the length in the back shortened over the next few months to avoid that whole 'mullet' look....EEKS! That way I can grow into a bob and then work on length once I get everything kinda evened out. I have A LOT of layers, so it will take a long time to grow them out. I don't forsee myself not having layers of some sort though... just not my style.
I've been reading some of the blogs here by PAPER, LONGHAIRDREAMS and a few others. Very interesting and informative. Thanks for the tip FATMOOGAS!!
Happy Hair Growing to you all!

I remember the growing out stage. Not fun at all but by this time next year, you will be amazed at how much it's grown!
Me personally, I'd let it go a little longer before a trim and when you do get it trimmed, make darn sure they know you are growing out so you don't get scalped!
Good Growing Wishes for You! Please let us know what you do!!

Thanks! I'm not sure I'm up for blogging these days. I'm sure I talk enough about my hair and its issues to family and coworkers as it is...LOL!!! However, I might read what some others have blogged/journaled.
This pic is Sept. 6th, 2008. I'm scheduled to get a trim on Oct. 3rd. I need to even up some areas that have been razored in the past. I'm not used to seeing my hair looking less 'hip' than it used to.

I agree with fatmoogas, keeping a journal or blog is a great idea. Also, taking progress pics helps too. Even if you feel your hair isn't growing you can really see the difference. I look forward to taking my progress pics the first of every month. I'd like to wait 3 months so I can see a bigger difference. But, I don't think I can wait that long lol.

Jenn, you might consider keeping a hair journal here. If you check them out you will see that there are some very good ones and the people involved seem to take new strength from keeping a regular record of their hair growth achievement. I think Longhairdreams has a really good one.
