How long? Will it take to go from shoulder to BSL? I am getting so impatient and I wish it would grow faster. I know in the summer it will just take off. |

Could be anything between 6 months and a year. Your hair is lovely by the way .

Measure on yourself and see. It partially depends how tall you
are. It took me 2 years to get it from just touching where neck
turns to shoulder (higher point than shoulder) which it was in Dec.
2003 to bsl, which it just got to now. If your hair grows a half an inch a month, multiply the number of inches from where it is now to where you want it by 2, that's how many months it will take to get there if you don't trim much. |

Hi always_alone, I've found biotin to be especially helpful in increasing the growth rate of hair. Well, that along with an otherwise balanced diet (including basic and "extended" supplementation, like silica, zinc, etc.). ------------- |

Maybe if you pull on it, it will grow faster? (sorry...just kidding!) Your hair is going to look awesome when it's long, so just hang in there and enjoy the progress! -------------

I am enjoying the hair growing process...though I have been rethinking
my hair growing goals. I might try for longer! It depends on what my
hair does. I'm also really happy it finally hit my shoulders. Soon it will be longer...I think my hair grows somewhat decent rate...it did grow 3 inches from October to right now. The only supplements I am taking right now is vitamin E and a tablespoon of flaxseed oil. I heard it makes your skin and hair healthy...I am taking it for my skin. ------------- Elizabeth 2b/M/ii pixie/20"/waist |

ARG! It's so hard...cause it's not something that happens overnight...But you gotta hang in there...I bet your hair grows faster than you think. My hair grows really fast...I cut off almost three inches Jan. 9th...and it's almost back to the length I had it...What sucks is that I want my hair to be almost at my waist when it's CURLY...and my hair has these crazy, spiraly latina curls...so it really takes length away from my hair. When my hair is straight...the shortest layer is almost at my breast...but when it's curly...it goes down to my shoulders. |

Yeah it grows pretty decently...especially in the summer. It takes off in the summer and my hair grows like a weed! Anyway...this was taken in October before my bro's wedding. It was right after the cut and my hair was straightened...as you can see.  Now for what was taken a few hours ago...natural nexture and it is at shoulder length.  I keep looking back at certain pictures to see the difference in lengths. But it is so hard to see a difference from day to day.  ------------- Elizabeth 2b/M/ii pixie/20"/waist |

Pretty hair, Always_Alone! Really nice color and shine, and it looks very healthy. I know what you mean about not seeing a difference from day to day, but your hair seems to grow really fast! Looks like two to three inches of growth at least! Way to go! -------------

Your hair is looking great! I completely understand how you feel.It feels like my hair will never get long.But since I have been taking pictures I am amazed by how much my hair has grown.I always thought my hair grew slow.But thats not the case at all.I got a very short cut in sept.Now my hair is to my shoulders.Pictures really help. -------------

Your hair looks brilliant, AA; have you trimmed it many times since October? That looks like a lot of growth (I am envious!) ------------- Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life. |

I've just recently started measuring my hair. I don't know how fast it grows. But I have been buzzed 3 times in the past 9 years, and each time my hair grew back to past my shoulders. At that time, I get frustrated (my hair is THICK) and just cut it off again. I have a son now, and taking care of him has taught me patience, so now I have the patience to just let it grow out. And I'm not working anymore, so no more hour long curling sessions at 5:30 am (that's the entire reason I cut it)....so it's not as big a deal to have long hair anymore. ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |
