Well, before I dreaded mine, I had a little past shoulder length hair. It was layered and choppy, and in the morning I would kind of just fluff it up a bit and it was fine for the day. It was great because it wasn't too short, but it was long enough where I could do stuff with it, like ponytails. I never brushed my hair and it didn't get knotty that bad, partially due to the length.

Growing is fast, I got it trimmed every two months or so.
