September Length Check, Protective Style and Exercise Challenge Update

I wore my hair in this style for the majority of August. And it held up to daily (and on most days, twice daily) exercise.

When I heard back from my consultant, she asked how long was my hair. I really had no idea, but I said that it was probably between 5-7 inches.
 
Here is a run-down of my hair length as of September 6th 9pm (inches):
Front: 6 3/4
Crown: 6 1/2
Left: 6 1/2
Right: 6 3/4
Nape: 5 1/4

Huge shout out to Superman for holding yarn to my strands in various places and then helping me lay the yarn against a ruler for these measurements. In instances where the measurement was in between, I rounded DOWN. These were taken on dirty, stretched hair post crochet weave take-down. I haven't had my ends trimmed since I stopped getting haircuts. Afterwards, I modestly clipped my ends- they felt a bit rough.
 
Lastly, here is my protective style for September- another set of crochet kinky twists! I will keep these in for 4-6 weeks which will put me well into October. Guess what?! This will be my last weave-based protective style for a long while!

I am doing a 365 Burpee Challenge with my friends, M, B and B. M is a female, both the Bs are male. On January 1st we all did 1 burpee, each day we added one (i.e. January 31st = 31 burpees; September 1st = 244 burpees; December 31st = 365 burpees).

I really hope that all my glorious sweat doesn't cause me too much slippage! This was also another reason for me to hold off on my establishment until the end of the year, but as Superman pointed out, I am always doing something that will get me sweaty (running, lifting, HIIT workouts, etc) so it became a moot point.
Post-shampoo- I broke out my Turbie Twist!
