I have a question for the naturals here. How do you measure your hair growth or know the rate of your hair growth? My hair is very wavy at the scalp and very tightly curled. My shrinkage is so bad that i can not tell if it is growing. Even when i straighten the waves are still there and my hair is stil not completely straight. I have never been able to measure my hair growth or know my monthly growth rate e.g. 1/2 inch, and i wanted to see how other naturals do.
