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 had a bit of a setback and had to cut my hair to BSL in August 2010. It is now a few micro-inches from waist length.
 
I don't know, but it seems like bsl to wl took the longest. I am just now grazing wl and I was probably at bsl 2 years ago. Apl to bsl took the shortest. It's just like 3" or so on me, vs. bsl to wl which is more like 5".
 
SL to Full APL took about 6 months

APL to BSL is about 8 months in the making (splits got the best so me so there were many trims)

I am grazing BSL now I hope to be full by the end of summer.
 
it took me about 4 months to go from NL to SL. i am few inches away from APL and really hoping to reach by end of the year.



 
Anymore updates ladies??? I know we've had some more ladies reach new milestones and we want to hear about it!!!
 
Update: When I first started my LHJ last July I was between SL and APL, now I'm full APL with some layers at BSB. I'm about 2.5 inches from BSL, I hope it doesn't take me another year to get there.:ohwell:

Same here- last April 2010 I was neck length, April 2011 I was full apl, hopefully by April 2012 I'll be around WL. It took me about 8 months to go from sl- full apl

I just found this thread last night and really did not think about it until now. Due to some damage, I had the back of my hair cut to the base of my neck. The front was left long with exception to some newly cut bangs. So it was sort like a bob. That was September 2010. By the first week of March 2011, it was shoulder length. Fast forward to the end of September 2011, it was about three fourths of an inch from arm pit length. If it had not been for this thread, I would not have realized there were only six months between each stage. After a couple of setbacks that ended in cuts, I look forward to March/April 2012 and September 2012. So if it keeps up, I very well may see mid- back next year this time. It will be nice to accomplish that. I needed this boost of encouragement as I can be quite visual at times. It gives me something to visualize. Thanks OP and others on this thread!
 
I know when I first started lurking on LHCF this was the first post I came upon and I'd check it weekly to see what people had to say... It makes me sad that the responses are so scarce now but I'll contribute my little two cents:

NL to SL: 6 months
SL to APL: I anticipate this to take another 6 months to graze and possibly two to three more to be full APL. I'll be sure to update you guys though...

I'm with you! It seems like it is taking forever to get from SL to APL! I'm in the challenge for a 2nd year :ohwell:
 
I'm 5'2 1/2"

CBL to APL = 6 months (Aug 2011-Feb 2012) 3 inches
APL to BSB = ??? 3 inches
BSB to MBL = ??? 2 inches
 
It took me a whole year to go from SL to APL. That's also only including 2 trims. BSL is alot closer so hopefully it should only take 6-7 months.
 
So glad I found this thread...gives me perspective on my goals :yep: I'm about an inch from APL as of Feb's length check so hopefully by May I'll be able to claim it with confidence. So if all goes well it will have taken me 10 months from SL to APL.
 
Whohoo! I just learned this by looking at some progress pix...

SL-APL = 4 mths
APL-BSB (bottom of shoulder blade)= 4 mths

My next goal is below shoulder blade and then the bottom rib bone on my back (which I will consider MBL).

It's so much easier and more accurate for me to use body parts to measure.

HHG, ladies! :)
 
I am at CBL I hit SL in February 2011. I hit full SL in like may 2011. Now I am at CBL. My bangs are below my chin.

I am braiding next week until the Democratic National Convention.
