i chose finger stretched...i just grab pieces of my wet or dry hair and see where it lands. since i don't use any heat at all that's about all i can do. but i've only been at this a couple months so not much change yet...
i picked other.
i do stretched or flat-ironed to see actual length, but my main goal is to get to SL unstretched. yes it takes longer to notice growth changes in unstretched hair, but that's how i DEFINITELY know i've gained length and since i wear my hair like that 99% of the time it's almost more important than what my hair looks like stretched/straightened.
I chart both I have 2 goals. WSL straight and APL unstretched.
