i had BSL-length hair wrapped in braided extensions a few years ago for about 2 months, and my hair grew during that time. it also started to dread at the roots, which is when i knew they were ready to come out!
as long as the extensions aren't too heavy you should be ok--too much stress on the scalp/roots can cause the hair to pull out, so keep that in mind.
i shed A LOT when i took them out (all that shed hair that was trapped in braids) but i found the overall condition was great afterwards since the length had been protected and unwashed.
