Everyone with shoulder length or longer

[jellynote]

I was looking through the monthly pictures and my husband came up behind me and was shock when he seen all the women with long hair and he wanted me to ask.

So as you can see he really can't wait for my hair to be long. So ladies hit me.

Well you've come to the right place

How long do you have to go until you reach your desired length?

 

[Stormy]

So...what is it you're asking? Who has shoulder length hair or longer?

 

[Karonica]

Tee hee! That's why I just waved.

 

[jellynote]

I have a long way to go before I reach my goal, but my husband wanted me to ask everyone with shoulder length or longer how long did it take to achieve. He wants a general idea of how long he has to wait to see me with this length.

 

[Karonica]

Ohhhh, gotcha!

Let's see.

One time, I had my hair cut to a little under earlength. It grew back to past my shoulders in 6 months.

I really need to go back to whatever I was going back then. But then, I wouldn't be practicing healthy haircare.

 

[Stormy]

Oh ok!

Let me think too...

since I started my regimen last March...and my hair was just above my ears...and I reached shoulder length (in the back, my hair is in lots of layers)this July. So...that's a year and 4 months to be exact.

 

[ms_kenesha]

It took me about a year and a month to go from 1 in. past ear length flip style to shoulder length now.

 

[myco]

I've grown my hair out from ear length twice. I would say it took me around 9 months to a year both times.

 

[leejure]

It shouldn't take you that long to grow your hair with care and patience. I cut my right to my shoulders in 2001 and NOW my hair is passed my bra-strap!

You can do it...jump on the bandwagon today!

Leejure, I saw someone on the train the other night with your exact hair and everything, I kid you now! I started to tap her and go, "Ummm....Are you Leejure from LHCF?"

 

[jellynote]

Thank you ladies for all your reponses. I told my husband that it'll be at least a year or more before I see shoulder length and he said I guess I can wait that long

He's soooo crazy I told him unless he wanted me to get another weave he just has to wait, he said ok.

No, just kidding! Wasn't me!

[Karonica]

LOL! This lady was your hair twin and everything. I kid you not.

It's amazing the people you see on the subway. That's where I get most of my hair ideas from.

 

[LABETT]

I would say it took me a year to reach shoulder length.

 

[Country gal]

My hair is shoudler length in the back. I am just hoping the front can catch up. I envy girls with shoulder length hair all over.

 

[Nacai23]

I would say 1.5 years. I don't consider my hair shoulder length right now because only the back is touching my shoulders. I like for crown and bangs to touch my shoulders. That's true shoulder length to me.

 

[JenJen2721]

What is the average length (in inches) for shoulder length hair? Would you guys say about 12 inches from the top of the head or 6 inches from the nape area?

I'd say 12" from the top of the head. I say that because the back is going to touch the shoulders first since it's so close to the shoulders anyway. That doesn't make the hair shoulder length.

 

[MissJ]

Umm, I think my hair has been past shoulder length since I was about 3 or 4. It's never been shorter than that, so I have no idea how long it takes to grow hair as an adult though like the ladies here who set goals and achieve them.

You know what? I do remember a time when my mom cut my hair to shoulder length. It just took a few months to start inching down my back.

 

[gvsugirl]

My hair went from mid neck length to a few inches below shoulders in 7 months...if only i had that same growth rate now

Right now I'm at bra strap which is midback. I'm probably due for a big trim though...

Jellynote -
Depending on your regime and with the vitamins I see you're taking, it may take less time for you to have long hair. I think the fun is in the process and knowing your hair looks good and is healthy.

Same here, I let a Halle Berry like cut grow out and it took maybe 9 months to reach a little past shoulder length. It was also at that time I discovered that Wanakee hand book back in 1997 and was able to grow my hair to bra strap length. Then I fell off with the hair care thing and my brastrap length got all scraggly and see through. It remained that way for a few years until I discovered this board and started to care again about my hair. I really love this board

Hi. I've had shoulder length hair all my life. I'm just trying to grow it down to the middle of my back.

Jellynote,

I think you can anticipate gaining 6 inches a year minus trimming.

 

[skegeesmb]

It took 12.5 months for me to get to shoulderlength from a Halle Berry cut.
