Hello 
I am so glad I came across this forum!

I will start by giving you a bit of my hair history:

I grew my hair from a short bob to mid-back length natural light brown hair in about 4 years. When I was about 15 (I am 18 now) I decided to get some blonde streaks. This soon turned into a full head of blonde hair and within 6 months it started to deteriorate. I remember someone commenting on my ‘new layers’ which were ,in fact, just breakage from the peroxide!
At 17 I decided to bight the bullet and cut off a considerable amount and dye my hair brown so I could try get back to some sort of natural colour!
I am now 18 and my hair is pretty close to my natural colour, it is just below shoulder length, and I AM CRAVING my long natural hair back   I also have a fringe I am growing out. I am doing the following things to assist in growth:

1.Trimming regularly (trying to get it all to the same length and as healthy as possible)
2.Using organic care shampoo and conditioner (aussie brand) – sometimes herbal essences because it smells so nice!
3.Doing warm olive oil treatments weekly
4.NO heat styling
5.No products like hairspray, mousee etc. in my hair
6.Wide tooth comb used only and no metal bits hair ties
7.Using a silk pillowcase
8.No hair dye!

Is there anything I am missing or doing wrong? Also , how long do you think it will take for me to achieve mid-back length hair again?
(sorry for the life story!!) I have a few more questions but I will post them in the appropriate board topics.
Thanks

I just measured my hair from my hairline over the crown and down my back (i think this i the right way to measure it?)and it is 23 inches at the moment and my goal is 30!

So in a year it should grow 6 inches, but I will probably trim it in this time.  Maybe 3-4 inches including trims? So with my calculations, in 2 years I should reach my goal! wish it was sooner!
