My hair is currently relaxed with about 1 1/2 inches of newgrowth. It is longer up top and shorter around the back and hairline. I had a short relaxed cut prior to my decision to transition. The longer parts are mainly my relaxed ends that my hubby won't let me cut off! If combed back after washed and wet it will be approximately 2 inches from the nape area. It's usually packed down from my wig when dry. I hope to get BSL but can be very appreciative of APL ...so I voted that I am a long ways off. I really shouldn't be in this thread because I'm trying to focus more on my hair health more than growth, which has not been too hard to do since I know it's growing (slowly) and I've been trying to keep cute wigs over it.

I just checked my last length check. I may have 1-2 inches left to go for my goal if some are correct with a more accurate measurement of BSL be the lower shoulder blade.

It's funny because everyone wears bras differently. And more importantly everyone's length of their torso is different also.

I've recently seen women who have really long hair and claim to be a certain length. And then there is lil ole me who is short and stumpy and claim to be the same length.

I just want healthy hair and to look nice.

I have been doing a super protective wrap and phony pony for about six months and I got an inch and a half or more in some places, so I am back at BSL after a horrible perm....no more for me...only tex lax!

Right now I am just leaving my hair alone. I did put a little color in the front tonight for the summer, but other than that it is cowashing, no heat, protein, mositerize and protective. I love coconut oil because it helps the shine and those flakes.

My goal is to be mbl stretched. Right now I have a few strands of hair touching the top of my bra strap but most of my hair is between apl and bsl. So voted that I need about 3 or more inches. I hope to be there by this time next year or at least by June of next year.

ETA: I'll be doing the same things that I did to get to my present length. Bascially co-washing every other day, shampoo once a week, deep condition with every shampoo wash, and wearing protective styles.
