I had Tyren post some progress pics of me about a week ago to this day. It was today, however, after taking my weekly full-fledged shower (Shampoo + Conditioner put into effect) that I noticed something awesome: The longest strands of hair growing out in front and on the sides of my head were long enough (When weighed down by water) that I could place them in my mouth! While I'm sure this report must sound silly to all those who have achieved shoulder-length hair, this is quite a landmark for me. I've been growing for a little over 9 full months now, and I don't recall my hair coming close to getting into my mouth last week. Then again, I have been very ill for the last five days ... I don't know whether or not that may be attributed to sickness or if the growth was just something I never noticed before. The whole notion of hair growing faster when you're sick sounds more like a myth to me than anything... What scientific evidence is there behind that assertation?
Congrats man! hehe I remember when I first started growing my hair I told myself that when it reached my mouth I would then consider it long. But I have long since exceeded that length and now have new hair goals. Although it's a nice milestone nonetheless
My thought is that if, while ill, you spent more time in bed...
then maybe your hair flattened and/or straightened out a bit
allowing your hair to be its fullest length?

Not silly at all! Congratulations on an important milestone. I remember when I first felt my hair in my eyes...behind my ears...in the corners of my mouth. The sensation only gets better as it begins to brush the base of your neck, your shoulders, or when it begins to hit the small of your back when you step out of the shower (my most recent landmark).
As for the increased growth with illness, somebody on here gave a rather valid explanation a month or so ago. It had something to do with a fever, if I'm not mistaken.
DUDE.......CONGRATS!!!! MY PARENTS MADE ME CUT MY HAIR, :(....BUT I WILL SOON GAIN IT BACK....YES...BECAUSE I WILL BE GETTING MYSELF SICK....YOU MAY LAUGH.....AND YOU SHOULD, BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT YOUR HAIR IS MOSTLY COMPRISED OF DEAD CELLS....THEREFORE....IF YOU ARE SICK, YOU WILL HAVE LONGER HAIR.....THE LONGER YOU ARE SICK....THE MORE HAIR YOU WILL HAVE.....DO BE CAREFUL, DON'T CONTRACT ANYTHING TOO SERIOUS:) GOOD LUCK
