Hi Everyone!
I about to cut off my bleached fried hair to my chin. My goal is waist. The pic in my profile is several years ago, my natural color. I'm trying to remind myself how long I took. How long did it take you to reach those milestones? Thanks!!!

I suspect it will be about 2 years. I've done collarbone to about an 1" shy of waist in 20 months with no trims. I average about 7" a year.

It depends on your height and body propotions, as well as you growing speed and possible trimming schedule.
I've never been at waist, but I guess it would take me at least 4 years (it takes about a year per milestone on me). I have avarage growth, I trim regularly, and I am tall.

It took me just under 3 years, but I also had some trims initially growing out.
On the other hand I also have a short torso with very close landmarks and a high waist.
If you are not planning any trims, you can measure the distance and with a 1/2 inch growth per month on average, you can guesstimate it.
Your profile pic is pretty; that's a good idea for inspiration!
Happy growing! :)

Your growth rate, your trim rate, and the distance between your chin and your waist are the determining factors here. Everyone will have a different time of it. There's not a consistent inch measurement for waist that applies to every body, and everyone grows at a different rate. It could be 2 years, as it was for me at 7-8 inches per year after trims, or it could take you 3 or 4 years or more if you trim more, have closer to average (6 inches per year) growth, or have a longer distance to grow.

Are you cutting off all the bleach damage? If you still have some left over, you'll need to trim more often, which can lengthen the process. Last time I grew out from chin, it took me about 3.5 years to grow to waist, and I was trimming regularly due to bleach damage.

Hi! I think the cut will take care of most of the bleach damage I have been growing out the last several months. So regret ever doing the bleach!!!

I'm 5'7"....Yes, I was thinking in my mind around 3 years. I'm amazed when some are able to get there in 2 years!

It doesn't matter your height, it's the distance from the level of your hair now to your waist going down your back. You have to take a tape measure, from your front hairline preferably, and have someone mark off where the thinnest part of your waist is for you from the back. For some people waist is just a couple of inches below the bottom of the chest, or at the bottom of the ribcage, or nearer to the bellybutton, every person's body is different.

Depends on your growth rate, when you figure that out in the next few months then you can do some simple calculations...lol

Chin is exactly where I started, and this December will be two full years of growth for me. I'm about an inch shy of BSL, so I imagine I will be at waist in another year or so. I'm 6 feet tall, BTW :D

It took me 3-4 years to get from chin to waist, but that was with some hair cuts to get rid of damage, so probably not even that long. It took five years for me to get to TBL from chin.
