For those that started at a TWA, how long until shoulder length?

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

How long did it take you to reach shoulder length starting from a true twa?

I started a similar thread last week with no poll. I'll post the link....

Most people seemed to answer 1 year - 1 1/2 years. Maybe more people will answer with a poll, though! Good idea

Thanks Solitude!! I'm going to check that thread right now. I didn't know one was recently made

It took me a little less than a year. About 6-9 months

When you say "true" twa what do you mean?? Are you talking shaved head or 2-4" inches of hair

 

[keysha1983]

What are these ladies using on their hair? Miracle GRO? Her hair is beautiful! Please tell me your tips please!

Starting at like an inch or two

are you gonna bc, je ne?

Ok, well I started at like 3-4 inches all around and it took me about 4-5 months after that to reach SL. So I guess you could say it was about 12-13 months for me.

i just left your other thread

I went from a baldie to touching shoulder in about 12-13 months. Not full SL though.

Just seeing and hearing about all of your progress has truly been an inspiration. You all should be proud of the HHJ's you each traveled. I commend each and everyone of you.

 

[kimmy89]

still waiting. my progress in my siggy.
I cant wait for that shoulder length bigness.

 

[danigurl18]

It took me about 9 months...

 

[Jewell]

I started with a TWA in June 2008 and was shoulder length or past in 6 mos, or by Christmas 2008.

 

[redecouvert]

2 years and a half

 

[Neith]

I think to get to a FULL BLUNT sl would take like 2 years.

That's 12 inches of growth at the average 6 inches per year.

 

[Rei]

8 months to sl but I have bangs so its not blunt. the rest of the months have been spent hovering in the same spot.

OP, are you talking about stretched or unstretched?
I bced last week after a 14month transition (4-5inches) and I should hit shoulder length in the back by the end of the year. It's full neck length now. I don't think my hair will ever be sl unstretched (4a/b)...

 

[glamazon386]

I'd say 1.5 to 2 years for full SL. The back may be at SL in year depending on how much hair you had when you BCed.

Yes, i was referring to when it's stretched

This question came at a time when I was thinking of doing a bc.

 

[bravenewgirl87]

I'm already at approaching nape and I started at about 2-2 1/2 inches of NG. Before I put these twists in, I was about 5-6 months post b.c. and chin-length. I've noticed that the kinkier textures are saying it took them longer, but I think their growth was maybe a bit less noticeable because the hair is unstretched. It should take about a year to get to full shoulder length.

 

[Stormy]

Great question! I've been wondering this myself especially since I had a little set back from a scissor happy Barber.

 

[ALWAYZL8]

I started with 1 inch and it took me about one year to reach SL. It could have been sooner, but I kept getting drastic trims. I got a trim to reduce the bulk and two to get rid of splits.

 

[Lovestyr]

i think it would take over a year to reach full SL.

 

[Mandy4610]

WOW to all the ladies that reached true SL in less than 2yrs from a true TWA!
I start at about an inche and I am at 1.5yrs and only grazing SLerplexed

What are you all doing?

SPILL!!!!!!!!!!!!
