Hair Length Check - Growth or not? (pics)

[Need2gro]

I need help ladies, I cant decide if I have growth, if so how much do u think I've gained? The 1st pic was taken June 6th and the 2nd one this evening.My ends are horrible Any suggestions about them? I dont wear the ends out often and I moisturize them daily...Seems as if I just look @ them they split!

Your input pls.

I definitely think you've had growth! I'm not good with eye-balling growth, but I'd say at least 2 inches. Your hair is beautiful! I love the thickness! What's your regi?

 

[LivinMyLifeLikeItsGolden]

There is definite growth. I suck at knowing how many inches, but I would say 2-3inches? Great progress!!

 

[JJamiah]

Growth about roughly 2 inches it looks like

 

[hannan]

YES! Congratulations!

I'd say that's about 2 inches. That's great retention for 2 and a half months!

 

[omachine]

yes. good job!

 

[Nonie]

Yes, you've gotten some growth. I say about an inch especially in the central portion.

How did I get an inch? I guessed the cam in the second pic is about as big as mine which is 2 inches high. Your growth is about half that height in the longest part. It was about an inch past the APL line and it is now two inches past the APL line = an inch of growth.

I wouldn't quite say two inches, but I do see progress.

Wet bunning is the ONLY thing I have ever done that keeps my ends in tip-top shape. Well, that's a lie....when I put my hair up in twists or braids with extensions, that helps too.

 

[Nonie]

Do you dust your ends? That's the only thing I know that keeps split ends at bay.

Rollerset at wash day, let it mostly airdry, then dry with hood, wrap hair everynight. MnT cowash, motions leave in conditioner. Moisturize ends with Elasta QP or Coconut oil, protein treatment once a wk.

Wet bunning seems to make my ends more dry. I'm not sure if I'm not tucking my ends away nicely or not. Me thinks I need to try this again.. try a diff product to seal with.

This is where people throw rocks at me coz I think S&D is such a waste of time. You have 100,000 hairs. Splits are already far-gone if you can see them so if you're waiting to actually see them before snipping, then you're waiting too long. Also your hair goes through the same trauma from styling, friction from clothes. So you start with hair #1, you examine it, you see a split you trim. Examine hair #2 you see a trim (or don't coz it's microscopic)...and so on. By the time you get to hair #99, it's day 5 or 10 coz I'm sure you haven't sat down and looked at 99 strands in one sitting, and that hair has suffered more trauma that has made the hair more damaged. By the time you get to hair #211, the split part has fallen off so you mistakenly think it's an OK hair when it's actually thinner than all the others. And I doubt you will really get to examine all 100,000 hairs. I keep meaning to take a photo of a split so you can see how tiny they can be. Sometimes you can't even see them without a bit of manipulation of a strand.

Coz really if S&D was that effective, then hair would have a nice thickness to the ends like that of people who just trim all the strands at once.

I tried to explain this with diagrams (correction: magnified photos) in this post.

I totally agree with you on this point. I rather trim my hair instead of do S & D. Saves on time.

 

[aymone]

I think there is growth. But what I noticed first was volume. Your hair looks thicker.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Definitely growth!! Your ends look longer and fuller. I agree trim rather than S&D.

 

[Janet']

I definitely see growth. Congrats!

 

[jamaicalovely]

Definitely see growth! I would say 1.5-2 inches.
