Hi my hair goal is around 4 years, Making me 26years old, how long will it take you to reach yours?

Rainbow, How long do you want your hair to grow?
Do you have an initial short term goal?

My short term goal should be reached in a little over 9 months, I'm not sure how much longer I'll want my hair after that.

My first goal was to get from having cut almost all my hair off, and having it super short and layers everywhere, to all one length at shoulder-length. It's 2 years later and I just reached that.

Now my next goal is BSL, in the logical progression of goals...that will probably take 1.5 to 2 years, depending on how often (and how much) I trim.

My final goal is indeterminate. I saw a girl the other day with knee-length hair and I would really LOVE to have hair that long....but....my hair just may be too thin to wear that long. She had very thick, wavy brown hair. So that helped the effect. I figure I'll just keep growing mine until I decide that's enough.

I think my primary goal is to keep it as healthy as possible.  What's the point of having hair that's super long if it's not healthy??  I may reach tailbone at the time I thought I would on my ticker.  I might be off by a month or 2,not sure yet.  It's almost to my hips  when wet so I'm hoping that as long as it's healthy I should be there soon.

My first goal is shoulder length, all one length across. Since mine is in short layers just past my chin, this will probably take me about another year. Then after that first goal, I'd like to get it to BSL, which would be what, maybe two more years? So in three years, when I'm 28, it might be BSL. Yeah!

Hi Rainbow,  my hair goal is as long as it will grow    I cut off approxiamately (sp) 2 1/2 in on Oct 1, and another 1/2 in on Jan 01.  My hair was having a bad attitude when I first cut it, then I did again cuz it felt good.  Now I plan to leave it alone other than dusting for split ends.  I am curious if it will get much longer.  It is currently still at the tops of my thighs.  I guess I just cut off some of the new growth  . 

Have a most excellent day!

My final goal is knee length and if my calculations are correct *puts on nerd glasses* I should be there by my 25th birthday.  I'm 22 now so that gives me 3 years of growing, then a life-time of trimming and maintaining  My ends are going to be sooooo thick and lucious by the time I'm 30!! hahaha what a weird thing to think........   I could reach it before 25, but I want to stop for a few months at midthigh length so I can trim each month to thicken things up.

Firstly, I do realize this thread is old.   But "nothing really matters to meeeeee... tooo meee" (Bohemian Rhapsody anyone?   )
So, anyway, I think I will reach my hairgoal- hiplenght with good quality- in about three years, hopefully sooner. That will make me... 19 years old.   I don't want to grow up. *mutters* Now where is Peter Pan when you need him?  

And oh, fata morgana: So do I!   Sneaking about in the bushes, poking whatever moves with one's trusty walking-stick with an incredible mane of grey hair cascading down one's back!! Woo!    

I am so thankful that my hair has grown well over the past six months.  My projected goal time  is in my signature, but I am about 1-1/2 inches from tailbone length, so I think I'll reach it early.   From there I want to go to hip, then thigh, then knee, then calf, then ankle.  

That should take a few years!

Well, I guess I have a different take.  I want my hair long and in a beautiful updo.  Thing is, with all the extra weight I have gained in the past few months being sick and with the meds...I have sort of a half extra chin!!!  I really want my hair to grow...but I want to loose the weight so I can put my hair up with a nice neckline to augment it.  I guess I am not wishing the days away for my hair to grow...unless of course I lose the weight faster than my hair grows .

Umm, you were blessed not to have a problem until you were 40 Lynn.  Appreciate it!!!  I was never so blessed, and then add that I am only one year behind 40 and told that my meds will" cause enough weight gain to result in heart disease".  Oh ya, just what a gal wants to hear when she is fighting getting fat without meds....and I bombed...I gained 40 lbs.  All I can say is THANK GOD I DON'T LIVE NEAR A BAKERY!!!!!   

JD

you gals are funny! it's true the hip is higher than the tailbone, but either way it's beautiful length to have! as for me, i'm making  baby steps to my shoulders, which i should reach by oct. then from there, baby steps to bsl some time next year. as for having it waist length, i don't know-maybe two or three years?
as most of you know i'm waiting for the day i have enough length to make a braid! woot! i will definitely let you all know when that happens.

My goal is hair to my knees!  My hair is waistlength now, but doesn't seem to grow any longeer than to the top of my butt.  I can always wish for kneelength though!

Jim

im hoping to get to waist (or longer depending on how i can manage it) but my first short term goal is BSL which is 27" on me (bottom of strap) which if i continue to grow at 0.8" a month shall get me there for mid june and waist is just 3" more, so fingers crossed christmas this year, i will be 39 yikes! then.

How do you figure out how long it will take? I am figuring abou 5-6 years for me to reach mid-back from the length I am now, which is pretty short!!!

my hair tends to grow 6 inches a year when properly taken care of. So it should take about seven years, if not eight.

I cut my hair short (read: Sienna Miller short) on January 8th 2009, and from previous experience, it will take until December for it to reach shoulder length - and that is with taking all the right vitamins and doing all the right things (I did give in to colouring it once or twice and the occasional trim). So I'm hoping that this year it will grow a bit faster, but my goal is to not cut it unless it's absolutely necessary for the next two years. By then, it should be down to bra length *fingers crossed*.

Wow!  That's fantastic!  I know how fast my mind changes...it's dangerously fast at times but at least I've learnt that anything above shoulders isn't for me.  I keep changing between being happy if my hair gets to BSL to wanting at least WL.  I worry that I won't have a cooperative hairdresser for trims past that length.  We're looking 3-4 years into the future for WL, I think.
