Hiiiiii guys :) I still exist, yeah ^__^

So my hair is at TBL/BCL (which is the same thing for me) and you know the next goal is classic...so by experience or prediction, how much time will it take? Depending on if I do try to make them grow faster or if I just let it grow by themselves? :P

Took me 9 months. I was TBL December/January and reached CL in September 2015. But it's different for everyone. The best you can do is measure from TBL to classic, and see how many inches you have yet to go.

For me, about 18 months; stupid acres of butt to grow over!

Just measure the distance between TBL and Classic on your body and divide it by your average growth rate (or if you don't know your growth rate, assuming 1/2 inch per month should work). :) This will give you the time it takes to get to CL, if you don't trim and don't experience significant breakage, of course.

I don't remember how long it took me... less than a year, I think.

This stuff depends a lot on your height and specific proportions and your growth rate...

Well my height...I'm 4'11''. :P I'm well proportioned. And my hair grows normally if I don't do anything and it gets quicker if I do stuff but I'm often too lazy to do stuff but I need to stop being lazy >:U

A bit more than a year for me but it felt longer. Then I checked one day and I had made it! The key is not to measure too much and live your life as normal. It'll get there, trust! :)

The only way to know is to measure the distance between TBL & CL on yourself. :flower:

If you grow 1/2 inch a month, that's 16 months, or more than a year. Something to put your mind to! :thumbsup: Good luck & happy growing!!!

I'm a bit confused... it seems like I have about 2.5" between TBL and CL. 4-5 months growth. How do you guys get 1/1.5 years? Is my butt that flat?? :lol:

There's a whole lot of Canadians commenting here! :lol:

Are you sure you measured correctly? 8 inches seem quite long for someone your height. I have a 5 or 6 inches difference, and I'm 5'4.

Seems like it took me the better part of a year, once I gave up trimming back to TB for thickness. That's from about tailbone, which is decidedly lower than BCL on me. Like Spidermom, I've got acres of butt, and some of those markers aren't terribly clear.

I am at 100 cm (1 cm past tailbonelength). I have quite the butt too, and I think I need to get to at least to 112 cm, but it might be 115. (I don't have anyone to measure it for me, and I don' t know how accurate my own measurings are). So at least a year

Okay guys I'll measure again...

okay..maybe like 7 inches.

You may not be exactly sure about BCL and TBL being the same thing, because TBL is pretty much equal to Midbutt length, while BCL is basically the beginning of the tailbone. But BCL to Classic took me more than a 1 year, TBL to Classic took me about 7 months.

Not necessarily. My coccyx is only about an inch below BCL, if that at all. For some people it's lower, for some it's the same length.

Yeah it's the same length well it's hard to tell XD

I count tailbone from the very top of my tailbone because that's when I can push my finger through my ends and feel my tailbone. I think my tailbone is on the long side while others are quite short.

It's tough to tell where exactly my length falls at the moment, as my ends flip up as soon as they hit a curve in my body. I know I've made TBL earlier this summer based on pictures of slightly damp hair (which is when my hair is the straightest).

TBL to classic is around 6 inches for me, and my growth rate is a little bit less than 1/2 inch a month. So hopefully I'll hit classic sometime late next year.

It's very easy to tell when you've fractured your tailbone before, but I certainly don't wish it on you!

Haha well let's say my hair is at BCL and I need like 7 inches for it to be under my butt... is it a lot?? Like I'm very small but yeah... grr
