How long did it take you to grow your hair out?

[~RoadToTrista~]

Like, in my avatar. My hair right now is like, way longer than most short haired guys, but still way too short to be considered long, and my head was shaved 11 months ago.

[Mahsa Tezani]

Okay to go from a shaved bald head to mid back took 3 years with many many trims and hairstyles.

[MarinaM]

Got 6 or 7 inches in 11 months from shaved as well.

I started growing mine in February 2011 and it's down to my neck now. It's about 7 inches long, and I'm hoping to at least double that by next year.

I think it took at least 3 years for me to grow my hair that long, my head wasn't shaved, but I didn't have very long hair before I started to grow it out.

Have you actually been getting trims in between? That makes a huge difference.

[~RoadToTrista~]

Actually nvm I forgot, it's been a bit more than 5 months.

[Mahsa Tezani]

Are you aiming for a hairstyle or just "metal head" hair? Long one length hair is boring and rarely flatters masculine features.

Actually try to grow it into a style. You'll thank me later.

[Michelle.]

I need to get busy in the style department. My hair is several inches past my shoulders. I think it's taken a little less than a 1.5 years.

At this point I'm still telling people that "I'm growing it out for "locks of love"".

I considered doing that... But men love long hair. I'd love to get a pixie though...just because I can.

Yeah, every 2 months. I have no idea what style I want it in though, I'm just letting it grow out first before I fix it up.

[Chloe]

Got 6 or 7 . . .

Years? Ya Know Yer Hair Is Getting *Way Too Long* When . . .

[pebbles]

I actually can't remeber very well It was a long time ago as when I was a teenager while too scared to go the whole way I did stop living as a very masculine male.

This was alittle while after I'd started growing my hair out. age 15.

In this image I was 17 soon to turn 18 I WISH my hair was that long now. It's a good 6-7 inches shorter now I can't seem to get it much longer than this now.
I might cut my hair shorter because of that fact :/ As my body dosen't want me to enjoy long hair anymore

My mothers stupid genes taking dominance ¬.¬

[Whitney]

Shaved my head last I can remember around new years last year, give or take a month. It's just getting to my neck now. **C'mon haairrrrr, gwooow fasssserr**

About a year including trims and hairstyles.

[Alainaluvsu]

Hair usually grows about half an inch a month. It will enter a stage where it will stop growing and fall out, and another strand will take its place after 2-3 years (however every follicle is different). It's taken me about 14 months to grow my hair out 7-8 inches without cuts or trims. If you're going to grow your hair out, you really want to avoid trimming it. Contrary to popular belief, cutting the ends will not cause your hair to grow faster (but it will make your hair look healthier). I was told yesterday by classmates and my teacher in my cosmetology class that I have a girls haircut. It's shoulder length and in layers.

WHY all the "shaving of head" i don't get that part? i can remember being little and always near hysterical every time "ex-military" parents both took me to "Mr Conty", the local neighborhood "one style butcher" barber i still have nightmares about!

lol Is it because ya's used to think you were rednecks, gung ho uncle sammys too ??

[Lynn]

I've had long hair for a while now (way before I came out) and I believe it's been growing for ~2-2.5 years now. It reaches to the middle of my back right now.
It's still a very plain "heavy metal" hairstyle though, but I'll get it styled and whatnot after New Year when I go raid clothing stores and stuff (because of sales in January ).

So yeah, it can take a while to grow out your hair long, but short hairstyles in the meantime can work well too. Just need to make sure the style fits your face shape etc.

WHY all the "shaving of head"

I was into the fetish community.

[Zaria]

I was into the fetish community.

and you wonder why people think you are a dominatrix   

I'm still growing my hair out.  It has been about 6 months.  I also used to shave my hair to around 1/4 inch long, but that is when I was trying to hide what I am to myself.
