I can't believe we've already reached the end of October...and the end of my Rapunzel the Future of Hair Growth Challenge.
This challenge taught me so many things about the right way to do a hair growth challenge and maximize hair growth and length retention WITHOUT compromising the health of my hair. That last part was so important to me because the last time I attempted a growth challenge, I became a woman obsessed. Literally, to the point that I was holding on to the raggedy-est [grammatically incorrect on purpose for emphasis on how raggedy they were lol] ends for the sake of being able to claim growth. I obsessively pulled and tugged at my hair on almost a weekly basis to gauge whether my hair was growing or not.
This time around, Ive learned a few critical lessons that spurned my Rapunzel Growth Challenge to success - but you'll have to get on my e-mail list to learn what they are. I'll be sharing those major keys with my email fam in our usual weekend chat, so if you're on desktop drop your info in the box to the right of this post. If you're mobile or on an iPad or tablet, scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Now let's get down to business. The official final measurements and results:
Starting Measurements August 1st, 2016: Over Left Ear: 8 and 3/4 inches Back Left: 11 inches Front and Center: 9 inches

I'm literally having one of those "started from the bottom, now I'm here" moments. Over the course of 3 months, I gained a solid 3 inches of growth all the way around. The results speak for themselves - and the photos paint a full picture. **If you're wondering why my hair was shorter at the end of August as opposed to longer, click here to read about how I had to cut some of my hair before month 1 was over.
