I measured my hair about a gazillion times last night after my shower and couldn't really come up with a consistent measurement. I got everything from 23" (which doesn't seem possible considering it was 24.5" when I last measured and all I've done scissorwise is search & destroy) to 25.5"
The measurement I got more than any other was 24.75", and since that seems the most logical considering my recent growth rate I've decided to name that as my "official" end of May/beginning of June hair length.
Other than that, hair seems a little damaged this week. Am going to invest in better (sharper) trimming scissors as mine have become dull in only a little over a month. Hopefully I can pick those up tomorrow. Also, I've purchased some Organic Root Stimulator Mayonnaise and am going to start using it once a week.
Additionally, I've finally found a way to remove the grease from the first 4 inches of hair at the back: used just a tad of Head & Shoulders in that spot and then some of my old clarifying shampoo (Neutrogena Anti-Residue), then rinsed it like there was no tomorrow. 2 days later and the grease/hair sticking together hasn't returned. One less hair issue to worry about.
Next hair measurement: July 1st

I just measured my hair last night and figured it's about time I start keeping a closer eye on my hair length. I know it's a weird time of the month to be measuring, but I finally got a proper tape measure and I just couldn't wait until the end of the month to use it. I figure I'll measure again on June 1st (not that the results will be much different) and then continue to measure on the 1st of every month after that.
Here are my official hair statistics as of May 21, 2005:
Hair Type: 1b-1cNiii (straight with slight body wave/some visible waves, not fine or coarse, thick)
Base of ponytail: 5.5"
Length of virgin roots: 3.5"
Length of bangs: 9.5"
Length from hairline to longest strands: 24.5"
Length when I started growing it out: 14"
Short term length goal: 27.5" (waist length)
Long term length goals: 31" (tailbone), 35" (hips), 40" (classic)
Avg. Growth Rate: .75" per month
****In light of how fast it's been growing lately, I've calculated that I will probably reach waist length by the end of September- provided I don't get any trims, my hair stays in good condition and it keeps growing this fast (with summer coming up I'm hoping it will). Therefore, I've decided to change my sig ticker to say "4 months until waist length" instead of 8 months and 3 weeks. I hope I'm not jumping the gun by doing this, but I feel I underestimated my hair when I set the thing and my calculator seems to think so too.****
