Wow! Maybe your hair just grows slow.

If you wear it down that could be the culprit, brushing against the shoulders causes split ends.

Do you cut it often?

Um, I'm glad its not just me. I started just above shoulder length about a year ago this Nov (black friday), and I still ain't APL. Hopefully in the next 6 months. I'm going on a 6 month stretch.
 
Uh, this isn't really listed... :look: But uhhhh...

I went from above ear length to right below ear length in about 5 months. (With 2 small trims during that time.) Hoping to get to bottom of my neck by Feb 08. :yep:
 
I started at shoulder and in over a year, i am a couple inches below, but i am sure I am the model child for slow growth, then again, I was overprocessed,:sad: so it has taken me a year to rid myself from those scagly ends, so I guess I am defeating my progress :ohwell:

It took me just over 1 year from SL to APL.

I'm moving to BSL next, which will happen in only a few months.

I think once you move past SL you progress to other lengths pretty quickly.

Yaaah!! for kels! Your hair is the same length as mine,but it looks healthier than mine for sure.I'm still working on getting it in good condition.When do you expect to be @ shoulder length?
 
I went from bald to past SL in one year and I am almost AP I think I have about an inch or 2. but I want to be full AP so I am waiting for one year. I stopped checking each month-- drives me crazy I grow between 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch a month I can see results better if I look every three months so last I checked I was not to far away from AP not checking again till Christmas and then in March will be 2 years natural in april and I hope I am full AP. I hope to make BS in 6 months thereafter.

This is pretty much the same for my hair. I was relaxed and from the time of my last relaxer to 1 yr I was SL. I'm about 2" from APL now so I would say it will take me 4 month from SL to APL. When I was relaxed I went from almost APL to BSL in 3 months.

Hey!! :D I DEF had to work on the condition of my hair first, hence the trims. :yep: I honestly dunno for sure when I'll hit shoulder length (which to me is when my hair rests on my shoulders). I'm gonna say somewhere around October or December 2008 though. :)
 
From SL to APL 9months
From APL to BSL one year and 4 months (+two major trims)

This sounds like the path I'm headed in. I started with shorter than neck length (I guess 2-5 inches all around) relaxed hair and now I have SL all natural hair (2 yrs.) I'm hoping to go from SL natural to APL by March '08 (that will make 8 months natural).

It took 2 years to get to all natural APL from SL relaxed.

Took 6 months to get from APL to BSL.

I'll find out if I'm at MBL this weekend, but I've been at full BSL for almost a year.

I bet you'll make it before then:yep:.Your hair seems to be in really good condition!
 
2 years from ear length to APL. I'm not exactly in a hurry. It may take me a year to reach BSL which is ok with me.

This thread forced me to be more realistic about my goals. I am SL now and I would like to be APL by spring but realistically knowing my hair's growth rate it is likely impossible, so I changed my goals in my siggy. I went from about an inch of hair to shoulder length in 1 1/2 years. I think it will take me a year to reach APL and another year after that to reach BSL.
 
It took me about 6 months to get from APL to BSL. Since then I've been hovering around MBL for what seems like forever so it's taking over 2 years to reach waist length. :perplexed
 
I have just know made it to APL, I am going to say that it took me 8 months to reach it. I am ready for BSL. after I reach this goal I wll excited and then it will be all about maintenance from there. This is the first time I have stretched my hair this long. I normally relax every 4 to 5 weeks. (Before LCHF) I thought that was the norm. I am now attempting to stretch for 10 weeks. It has been difficult, but I am determined to make. Maybe when I do I will see some real results.
