I did this length check on my air-dried hair the day after relaxing it. You can read about the relaxer day HERE. What I did was to divide my hair into sections: Front, Crown, Back and then measure each area separately. I stretched the hair in these sections as much as possible to see its true length.

THE FRONT

THE CROWN (STRETCHED FORWARD)

THE CROWN (STRETCHED UPWARD)

THE BACK (I PUSHED UP THE FRONT TO ASSESS ONLY THE BACK).

My hair grows at different rates in these different sections so it is quite uneven and I haven’t done a true trim since I cut my hair in 2013. I will keep doing only micro-trims of my ends (to remove split ends and knots) and just leave it this uneven until I get to my short-term goal of full armpit length i.e all the sections reach armpit length.

UNEVEN LENGTH

When I get my next relaxer touch-up in November or December, I will do a roller-set and do a proper length check.

Have a lovely day!
