I have a dilemma. For the last week and a half, my hair seems a tad longer. Not very much longer, but longer enough that it's noticeable to me. It seems longer both wet and dry, but more so when it's wet. When I measure it, it's the same length, but so help me, it "feels" longer in my hands than it did just last month. Like it's reaching a little farther than it did before. My hair is texturized and I really need a touchup, which I will get in March. Do you think my hair has grown or not? ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |

I remember when I first started growing my hair that it seemed thicker/fuller before I actually saw noticeable length. Now that I'm natural, it's even more so now. So I'd say yes, your hair is growing.

Your hair is always growing. I'm not exactly sure how much yours has grown but I am sure it has. Plus, you can tell there is a difference in your hair, so once again, I would have to say yes it has grown. Also, you don't need a digital camera. Just take pictures on a regular camera. If you have a scanner you can scan and save them to your computer and upload them onto a photo site. Or you can use a regular/disposable camera and have the camera developers put it on a disk so you can just upload them from there. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

I WAS RIGHT! I washed my hair last night and when I measured it, it's now 22 AND A HALF inches. ------------- Hair type: who knows?

Couldn't have said it better. One more thing, when you hair is wet, it has more elasticity (which is a fancy hairstylit word for flexibility) but try to be careful about pulling/tugging/combing on it during this state, it's also easier to break when it's wet. Congrads on your growth...what length you shooting for? Dwayne (of http://www.askdwayne.com - www.askdwayne.com ) ------------- askdwayne.com here to help establish and maintain healthy hair |
