So, that was my year. :) I got one 1/2 inch trim in June and otherwise left it alone. I have learned so much here and have made such lovely friends. Thank you all so much! :flowers:

Wow, thanks everyone! I think it's grown about 6 inches in the past year. It's hard to be precise with the curliness, but it was 25" when I started here and it's about 31" now. :)

Congratulations on your one year anniversary! Your hair has clearly grown quite a bit, and the ends have still stayed very healthy while you were growing out.

Thank you! :flowers: I always feel that I must clarify and say that I am very short - 5' tall - so my hair might seem longer than it is. But the upside to being short is that I probably will have a good chance of growing to floor. :)

Happy Anniversary!! Your hair has grown so fast and it's gorgeous!! (You know I envy your curls! :p )

Thank you! :flowers: Sometimes the curls get to envying straight hair and go away for a bit, but an acid rinse always seems to bring them back. :)

ETA: Haha, I had to change my height. I'm actually 5 feet tall, not 5 inches! :lol:
