    From this I would estimate that from shoulder length until now has taken about 2-2.5 years.

    One year... it is a bit longer now as the "recent" pic is from last month, and it'd be even longer but over the past year I trimmed off a total of about 6 inches. Yeah, my hair is like a weed... I love it.

    I went from a just at my ears bob in March of 2006 to longer than APL (nearly BSL) in about two years. Two trims that were bigger than necessary, and one micro trim.

    Of course the ears length was the longest length--I now have layers everywhere: the front the back, the side etc. Growing out bob layers is no fun.

    ETA: on the other hand, it is encouraging because I can tell I've grown about 12 inches, so that means my growth is just at normal!

    Its taken me 2 years and 3 months to reach my present length of 25.5 inches from my original cut that was 17 inches.

    I cut off almost a year of growth (about 6 inches) in that time though because my hair was FRIED from Bleach.

    I have been growing with huge Pauses and lots of trimming in between, so hard to say..

    Current length is lower half of my butt.

    I started at shoulderlength in 2003.

    By looking at my (lighter) virgin hair it takes me 1 1/2 yr. to grow just shoulderlength hair...thats how far the chemical dye has grown out.

    Two years.

    Just over actually, I haven't cut since the last hair cut which was in hmmm January 06. That cut took me up to halfway between APL and BSL. I am now Hip/TB.

    Took me 3.5 years to grow from a bob to tailbone (37"). No trims at all. I think my growth speed is average.
