I know there have been a lot of progress Pictures posted, but I was wonder where you are at now if two years ago you chopped it all off and started from scratch.:grin:

Really fuzzy pic, but this was two years after I started. I dyed my hair right at the start of my hair journey, and by this time, I had cut all of the dye out - so this is a straight two years of growth.

There was a similar thread posted a few months ago. Most people stated that they were SL 2 years later. :yep: You can check my Fotki, I have been 2 in. or less several times. :yep:
 
I had less than 2" of hair in the back and it wasn't even neck length and now I'm almost BSL; hoping to be BSB (below shoulder blade) by December 09. Pics in my siggy.
 
Hm, I don't have a recent photo, but I am now at 8 inches from 1 inch. The thing is I did not know how to care for my natural when I BC'ed in 2007. I also cut my hair a few times.
 
I cut my hair down to a very low shaved in the back style back in Oct 2007. Longest length was about 2 inches on the top. Here it is two years later and I am almost APL.

I BC'd in 2007 to 2 - 2.5" of hair. Please see siggy for where my hair is now. The pic is from earlier this year (I was APL) but I cut my hair shortly after that pic was taken. It's pretty much surpassed that length now as I'm between APL and BSL. I should hit BSL by Jan.
 
I started with my head shaved in the back and a little bit of hair on top. My avatar pic is my starting point.
 
You are my new HAIR INSPIRATION! I just started with that same cut one month ago! Thank you for posting! It seems sometime like I'm doing this for nothing.

This was actually only 1 yr and 2 months after my BC...

i started with about 1-3 inches?
Didn't measure, but you can see the progress.

I think I just subscribed to your youtube lol

anyway how did you deal with the hair in the inbetween stage? this is my first time cutting it this short and I am wondering if it'll be hard to style when it grows longer on the sides lol

Thanks!

In between stages are extremely hard for me. I always want to even up my hair. But I made up my mind I won't do that. As soon as it was long enough for a weave I put one in. I would leave the weave in for a month at a time and give it about 1-2 weeks rest. I did that from April 2008 until now. Actually I haven't had a weave in almost 2 months. It's the longest I have stayed out of one in a while.

My sides were actually shorter than the back by a mile and they just "caught up". That's why it is important not to cut. Our hair knows what to do!! LOL
 
i started with the bc in jan 08

I felt that way in the beginning until I saw other ladies who started off being a shortie like me. Just continue healthy hair practices and you will eventually see length. If/when you feel the urge to cut it, just weave it up until the urge passes. :grin:
 
Great progress. Your hair is gorgeous- do you still BKT?

Thanks Ladies
I was trying to figure out if I was a really really slow grower, or just a slow grower.

I am a slow grower, but not really really slow. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.
Please keep the pics coming, I am a picture whore a tee hee hee
 
I guess I'm on target with my growth because 2 years ago I was bald and the siggy pic is where I am now. Click my blog to see.
