How much growth should I except in a year.

[auntybe]

I finally came up with a regimine that I can live with (see my prior post re: Regimine for fall). My hair usually grows about 1/2 inch per month. My hair is currently at the base of my neck. I figure if I do my best to follow my regimine that my hair should be in the middle of my shoulder blades. Is that about right or am I just wishing really hard.

Thanks.

If you can retain your growth well, you should be able to reach shoulder blades in a year. Are you taking any vitamins? That might speed up your growth and help you reach your goal. Good luck!

1/2 an inch a month is how quickly most human hair grows. I would love to meet these people claiming they are getting double that.

I know my friend grows about 1 to 1 1/2 inches per month. She doesn't wash it often and keeps it braided. She gets it cut twice a year. She gets about 4 inches or more cut off each time. It amazes me she doesn't even care about her hair. It is really difficult to help he comb out her hair to get it rebraided. I wish mine would grow like that.

I would say your goal is definately reachable, I grew and retained very close to 6 inches of hair in a year, my hair growth is average (1/2 inch a month)

I gained about 5 inches between last june and now. I never expected much more than that. That's why I didnt even think about joining the 12 inches in 12 months challenge. I wish I could get even say 8 inches in one year. Id be happy with that. Im going for 6 in this new challenge, and I know I have to work hard for it...moisture, proteins, exercise, lots of water, etc.

I wish!

I only get 1/4 an inch per month on average and a little less than 1/2 an inch during the summer.

Thanks AudraChanell

. The second challenge is just something I created for myself. This past year, the 1st bun challenge was so good to me that Ive decided to go another year. I figured if I did this for 2 years straight, at the successful rate Im going, Im bound to be practically waist length by the ending of next summer... if all goes well. You can certainly join me if you like though.

honeylemondrop, u have made great progress! do u have a place where your regimen is posted or do u mind sharing? besides protective styles do u give vitamins or anything credit for helping your wonderful progress?

My hair grows different lengths from month to month. I found that it grows more in the summer than the winter. Sometimes I get 3/4-inch and most of the time I get 1/2-inch and sometimes less.

You ladies are lucky. Like Crysdon I only get about 1/4 to 1/3 per month. And that's the summer time. But from November to May (during the winter) I get about 1/3 to 1/2". Weird how my hair grows faster after the summer....hmmmmmmm. I always found that strange...lol.

6" a year is awesome auntybe....you should be close to shoulder blades by then.
