6 Month Length Check Update!!! Part Two

 

Hello there love bugs!!!

Are you surprised that I was able to get back here and write the continuation of my length check info complete with pictures??? Well if you aren't , I certainly am!!! LOL

Well. I can tell you that there was definitely some growth going on... and I am stoked about this 100%.

I took hair measurements from 3 different pieces/ strands of hair from the same section. I measured super curly hair ( as you can seen in the pictures ) so it is not going to be 100% accurate, but I am pretty sure it is as good as I could possibly get it considering how I had to try to get it done ghetto/ creative style!!!

The measurements that I came up with are as follows ( pictures are posted below without captions because ... I can't seem to caption them ):

• Front Middle Section: 19/17/18 = 18
• Right Front Section: 15/12/17 = 14.6
• Left Front Section: 17/14/15 = 15.3
• Left Side Section: 15/17/18 = 16.6
• Right Side Section : 17/18/16 = 17
• Middle Section : 19/17/18 = 18
• Left Back Section : 10/12/12 = 11.3
• Right Back Section : 12/13/15 = 13.3
• Middle Back Section : 11/12/14 = 12.3

Below are literally some random pictures of me trying to photograph my length using measuring tape. You should be able to see the tape measure , and where my hair stops in most of the images. As you can see in the pictures my hair towards the end is not as thick as the hair at the top of my hair. It sort of tapers to the end. My hair is going to look like that for at least a couple of years because as I had mentioned in my previous blogs, I am not going to trim my ends anymore. The reason the hair looks that way at the end is because that is the hair that is still straight from heat damage that I caused by flat ironing my hair extra hard without a heat protectant. But since the objective of my challenge is to achieve waist length hair, I intend to only cut the ends of my hair after I achieve the length that I am striving towards. At that point I will probably chop off a few inches just to make my hair even. What I did find remarkable about this investigation is that my hair towards the back grows quite a bit slower than the hair in other sections of my head. So weird!!! LOL

Well... I have to say that this concludes the second portion of my Length check post!!! Oh... I forgot to mention, I have not flat ironed my hair or used direct heat on any of my hair for 1 year and 10 months!!! (^_^) I am more than certain that has a great deal to do with the fact that my hair has begun to attain length.

Anywho, I hope you enjoyed this post!!! I will have more for you soon!!! (^_^)


Until then,

Bonjour !!! (^_^)

 

6 month length check update!!! PART ONE!!!

Hello there ladies and gents!!!

I was looking through the various posts that I have made  and realized that it has been quite a while since I have done a length check.

The last length check I managed to complete was in August and it is now the end of February. So if I can, I will do a current length check, and post pictures of the measurements here for you all to see.

Since I had never really been intelligent about the process of measuring my hair, I did not pin down the idea behind taking specific section and measuring them. SO... There will be several sections that I will specifically measure:

1. Front Middle Section
2. Left Front Section
3. Right Front Section
4. Left Side Section
5. Right Side Section
6. Middle Section
7. Left Back Section
8. Middle Back Section
9. Right Back Section

All measurements will be performed on hair that has not been flat ironed. As a matter of fact , it has been like close to two years since I have last had my hair flat ironed, or used a heat device on my hair. Yay me!!! Since I have also refrained from trimming my hair, my assumption is that I should see a bit of growth. In addition to that idea, I have also realized that after I removed my hair from the kinky twists , I did not actually measure the length of my hair then either. So, at this point I should be able to legitimately determine if my hair was able to grow / benefit well from remaining in that particular protective hairstyle for 3 months.

According to the last hair check that the following discovery was made:

• Majority overall length fell between 15 - 16 inches long
• Longest strands ( mainly the middle of my head ) were between 17 -18 inches long
• Shortest strands (mainly the nape of my head. back of the neck) 14 - 15 inches long

So... with that new task, and the purchase of my trusty little tablet, I should be able to give you all a few pictures of what I discover!!! I am pretty excited!!! (^_^)

Well... that is all I have for you for the time being... I had better get to the good stuff. I shall return soon  for part 2 of this blog.


Until then... Adios (^_^)
