Average growth rate is about 1/2" a month...
Totally uncut it would take less than a year, but then it wil be uneven. In a one-length blunt cut that has been trimmed & shaped along the way, it should be to your shoulders in about a year and a half or so. Fully at your shoulders, that is, not just brushing. Just brushing should be around a year.
------------- My hair is almost to my knees (~50") and continues to grow longer. Rather slowly these days, but that's ok - it's still *growing*.

Hi Chris,
When I grew out a short haircut, it took my hair about 1 to 1.5 years to grow to around shoulder length. My hair grows at the average rate - 1/2" per month. As time passed I had microtrims of the longest layers to shape it up a bit, but I was also growing the length longer than shoulder length... anyway, at 7 months, you have a good start on your goal.
