About how long?...

The main thing with those is keep an eye out to see if you start getting shorter hairs.

This could either be new hairs growing out or it could be broken hairs froma sharp edge.

Otherwise just be careful.

A few broken hairs is sometimes ok to sacrifice if it's something that keeps you happy otherwise. It's better to put your hair back in a style you like and use a clip you like than to not know what else to use or do and end up in the long run getting a cut or something cuz you're bored.

I saw a link on here earlier today.
Susan W's site with instructions for making metal barettes hair safe:

That might help.

I hope you get it.

Do you use any blow dryers or irons or anything like that? What about your combs and brushes, do they have seams? or any of your hair clips and things?

I agree.

Maybe a bit longer if you're taller or if you don't get 6 inches per year.

It will also depend on your style. If you have close to one length then it will all grow about the same. If you have layers then only some will get there that soon.

You said you'd like to grow long in a short period of time in your other thread. Is something coming up where you'll want it mid back? Like a wedding or something?

I want to grow my hair long. It is about shoulder length right now and I want to know how long it will take for it to grow to about mid-back. Here is some stuff I can tell you about my hair:

~My hair tends to grow reletivley quickly
~Medium or regular thickness and strait
~I am eating at least 2 meals a day based on the "Magic food for lucious locks" on this site
~I use a natural shampoo/conditionar and wash my hair about every other day (and try to avoid combing it too much!)

Thanx, A.
