How many inches have to GAINED so far this year??

[Kamilla16]

Just wanted to see how much length everyone was retaining so far. I think I gained about 3 inches? And thats pushing it! So how much ahve you gained????

 

[hunnybunny81]

I got about 3.5'' and it took me 9 months to get that, so I figure by January it'll have been 4.5''. Currently I only need 2.5'' more to reach my goal..Hopefully by February/March I'll be there!!

 

[YuNg]

none

4 inches everywhere except my troublesome back area.

 

[Nonie]

Yung, correction... You've gained some you just don't know how much coz you trim daily.

Oh, and my answer to the question is I don't know. I didn't measure my hair until I joined the forum and I haven't measured it again.

 

[YuNg]

yeah but its not like it gets really long nonie it gets to about 1 and 3/4ths inch max trimmed or not

 

[Serei]

Since April I have gained about 3- 3 1/2 inches.

 

[adrienne0914]

maybe 5"... minus the 1½" ms. thang cut in july. i think i'd be at waist length by now..

 

[pebbles]

I got between 4-5 inches this past year, but I lost some of that in a trim.

 

[skegeesmb]

I've gotten about 5 inches of growth since January, but counting hairline to ends, it seems like a lot more.

 

[miss_brown]

I'm not sure about this year exactly, but in the past year, I've kept (growth minus trims) about 3.5 inches.

Better than the year before, but my goal is to grow at least 7 inches in the next year and keep at least 6.

DITTO. I kept maybe 4. And keeping 6 out of 7 is my goal. Way better then the last year though.

 

[Lindy]

I think I've kept about 3 inches this year...

 

[Kamilla16]

Wow You all really retained a lot of length!!

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

About 5 inches

 

[Allandra]

I have no idea. I didn't count them.

 

[butterscotch]

Since joining this board in March, I have gained 5 inches. If I wouldn't have gotten the trims, I probably would have 6 inches.

 

[Chipmunk]

I haven't the slightest clue. It looks like it's not growing, but I think I'll have to stretch it to get a better idea. My shrinkage is no joke.

 

[Blackndiangirl]

I dont know. I havent figured out how to measure my hair yet.

 

[ellemoe22]

I measuered my hair the other day I have 8-9 in all around. When stretched my hair falls an 1-2 inch past my shoulders. 6 more in till bra-strap. yeah!!

 

[licutiexx]

about 2 1/2 inches

 

[Ayeshia]

In 2003 i gained about 7-8 inches. Then I chopped it off...because well i dunno why...lol

 

[Nyambura]

6 inches since January.

 

[bimbabe]

about 4 since february

i don't measure though

 

[ms_kenesha]

I don't really know, but I'd gues 4 or 5in.

 

[diamondlady]

I've retained 4 inches and lost maybe an inch to trims.

 

[silvergirl]

gained = 4 an 1/2
hopefully 2 more by the end of the yr.

 

[WaterMoccasin]

BUMP
I guess I could've waited until the end of June but what the heck- now that nearly half the year is gone, how many inches have you gained/retained so far in these past five months?
For me, 2-3 inches...which is good because that is usually me yearly retention

although it also means I am behind in the 12 in/12 mo challenge...but that's ok, I didn't expect to actually make 12...I'd be happy with 6!
How's everyone doing?

 

[dannie]

I have no idea. Not enough IMO. I know I trimmed it to much, last year trying to even it up. Then you guys told me it doesn't matter what I do because it will still grow in uneven. Now I say screw it!! Unless I get breakage from the ends (which rarely happens) I'm not trimming til December.

All in all I'd say 2-3 inches.

 

[Nessa]

I have gotten 1/4 inches this year!!!
