Hair growth question | General Hair Talk | COMMUNITY

I totally agree with @Jodi-Ann P. When I first went natural, I watched everyones else's hair growth timeline on different websites and expected mine to be the same. I was repeatedly disappointed when I didn't get the growth that I expected.

@augustjade87 ….congratualtions on your newly natural hair. I would say that nothing is impossible. But when you start to talk about length in a predetermined amount of time, it can get a bit sticky. I do think that you can get excellent growth in 2 years. But in terms of whether it'll be BSL or MBL, I'll say this. Each person is different. Our bodies are different, or faces are different. So based on the differences in our bodies, we can both measure one section of our hair at 8 inches and for me, 8 inches would be shoulder length on my body, but it would be collar bone length on you because the way our bodies are structured is different. I've seen videos of folks that have been natural for 3-4 years when they reach BSL, but to show you how subjective that measuring system is, I'm only 2 years natural and I'm almost BSL on my body because I have a short torso.

So with that said, and to give you a bit of perspective as to how much growth you can expect, hair grows on average

0.25in-0.5in per month. Some have more growth, some have less, hence being an average. But since you  have a good regimen set, I would say that you are well on your way to your goal. I would stick to products I know works for me, try to lessen the amount of time spent manipulating the hair, and use as little heat as possible. Hope this was helpful.

The bolded is exactly how I feel about it now, and I know it's paying off. 

I say just take it day by day. It will grow as fast as it wants. Keep your ends in shiler its child and give it TLC. It will grow but don't think your hair is going too grow like the next girl. Everyone is different.
