2010: WLers, How Tall are You?

[Lovelylife]

I agree. We're about the same height.

I had no idea how to measure my hair until today. As mentioned, you just measure from the front of the hairline back. Here are some websites with visuals: here and here.

I don't understand why someone would measure their hair that way when that strand from the forehead to the back is not all that one length? unless you been cutting your hair to make it all one length and not layers.. it would seem to me that you would measure the strand of your hair to get the correct inches of your hair just like you would fabric. I take strands of my hair and different parts of my head and this is how I know that all of my hair is the same number in inches which is 8". and if I take a strand from the back of my head and measure down 30" it is to my hip.

I don't get that either. I just measure sections of my hair from the scalp.

^^I was just wondering about this the other day. WL on me measures at 20", but that's measuring from the hair at my nape. I thought that's how we were supposed to measure our growth? I keep seeing some of the other ladies say WL is at 27" or 28" on them....made me think my body wasn't as proportionate as I thought LOL.

BTW- I'm 5'8". I'm nowhere near WL at the moment, but that's my ultimate goal
