I answered 2-3 years. I went 2 or 2.5 years with no trims when growing from a short bob to BSL/MBL. This was from 2012 to 2014. There might have been a couple S&D attempts during that time, but even those lasted 5 minutes or less, with very little scissor action taking place. I found the neglect to be quite beneficial. I had been growing out bleach, so I enjoyed observing the drastic difference as the virgin color grew out. And although my ends were damaged, I kept them relatively healthy with lots of babying so that the damage did not travel upward. When I finally had it trimmed in a salon, even the hair stylist didn't try to talk me into chopping it all off, as too often happens in salons.
