*How often do you Measure your Hair

[shai_butta]

When I first got in this healthy hair kick I was checking it every month. And that was actually kind of satisfying because some of the things I've learned were really improving my hair's health in a way I could observe. But now i'm avoiding checking it so often, not only because I can't see .5 inch differences but because I still need an even trim and I don't even want to get attached to my hair length and be apl with raggedy ends like a fool. On the rare occasions I have straightened it my mama says its coming along so I atleast know it's not getting shorter.

Never. I may when I get to bsl to see how many inches that is.

I usually do once in a blue moon but I feel like I don't measure it right because I have so many layers

 

[CrissieD]

I voted everyday but after reading the comments i gues i should have voted never because i nver use a tape measure. I just look @ where it falls in the mirror when I cowash (which lately has been every day) It feels a little OCD but i cant help myself.

I chose other..cause I measure once a week, when I DC..lathered on conditioner..I'm a bit obsessed..

 

[sensi sweetie]

Never. For me measuring length is like checking the time. It makes it go by slower.

 

[FRESHstart101]

too often.

 

[michaela]

About every 4 months

 

[Carisa]

about 2-3 times a year with heat and i comb it when conditioner is in it (whenever i dc which is at least 1x a month), so in all about 12-16 times a year

 

[constance]

Every month or so I quickly pull/stretch a piece to check but I length check w. heat every 4-5 months.

 

[nappystorm]

About twice a day

I'm obsessed

 

[HoneyA]

Maybe 2 - 3x a year after a retouch.

 

[Prayin4FullWL2012]

I voted wrong, sorry ya'll I'm tried but so addicted to the forum I won't go to sleep. I measure once or twice a year.

 

[classychic1908]

If only I could stop checking ... smh

 

[divachyk]

Actual length check with pics, rarely...but I look at my length often and just eye ball it to determine progress.

 

[Missjae09]

Measuring with a ruler makes me feel like i'm not making progress so I generally judge by progress pictures I've taken.

 

[Taina]

Never did it before cause i was not interestes in long hair at all xD
Now i will be messuring it every month with pictures ^^

 

[Diva_Esq]

Every 2-3 months.

 

[mzteaze]

I try for quarterly...but this year I will try to do progress pictures once a month.

 

[Mari-Cris]

I have a measurement t-shirt and I usually put that on after each wash and I do a "little pull down" to see how far it has grown. However, I only take pictures about once a month.

 

[Toy]

I measure everytime i get a Touchup.

 

[lovenharmony]

I don't measure my hair anymore since I went natural.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

During T-UP time and randomly when I having a hair anorexia moment, LOL

[skegeesmb]

I voted twice a year. I can tell it's getting longer just by the fact I can put it in a ponytail without clips holding it. That's how I've been measuring progress.

 

[fabbodbobbi]

It used to be month. Lately Ive been measuring my hair way too often. Its becoming an obsession! Going to hold off measuring my hair every 3 months.

 

[A.Marie]

I measure after a relaxer and compare to the previous relaxer.

 

[PinkSunshine77]

I don't....

 

[Lilmama1011]

I stretch it but me and rulers are a no no. I feel like it's not always accurate

 

[MsKinkycurl]

Every two to three months.

 

[angelhairtype4]

Every time I do my hair...could be 2,3 times a week. Or once every week or two.

Eta: I don't use measuring tape. I just pull the back of my hair to see the length.
