Getting close! I'd try to ignore it for a month because you look a teeny bit not quite there yet. Lovely hemline though!Quote:

and yes RubyTuesday... I'm 5'9" and my hair took forever and ever to get from chin length to shoulder. A lot of it was growing out damage and doing trims, but there's stil a good 4-5 inches between what I'd count as chin and what I'd count as shoulder. My torso is really long too so I will be forever getting to hip :P
So fed up, I hoovered my bedroom before, I've not it for two weeks, couldn't be bothered ;). Anyway I have one if those wool carpets that entwines your hair so I use the brush bit to go over my dressing area. I then check the brush and pull the hairs off and repeat until I've got them all up. Well since I stopped my hair loss in January I've not got a lot off the floor. But today on my first swipe over I had a wig on the brush. I knew I'd had another good sized shed but I didn't realise how much.
I spent ten minutes before all the hair was off the carpet, and all in all it looked to be at least ten percent of my hair. I'd already lost 40 percent last year. Luckily my shed has slowed down.
It feels like I'll never get a decent hemline unless I cut right back to shoulder, which I am trying my best not do. It's a drag having to wear it up everyday.
Vent over. Sorry it's long. Thanks for listening!!
:grouphug: that must be so frustrating, diddiedaisy. I wish you some speedy new growth.
Thank you. :o I've been thinking the same. I want to be a solid APL before really calling it. I think i need another two or three weeks for it to reach solid APL, so i'll take next picture on 6th of August at the same time with my monthly lenght picture.Quote:

I think I've got it under control, I've started taking msm and biotin again which stopped my last one. I just need not to have another shed for a couple of years.

This is some of my new growth.

My hair is slowly inching down my back. The other day I wore a low summer tank top and as I moved my head, my hair brushed my back and I thought it was a bug! I reached back to shoo it away and realized it was just my hair! I got a giggle out it! :)
Well, don't worry about it to much. Try avoiding stress as much as possible, do something relaxing once in awhile... I never had problems with my hemline, so all i can say is to be patient or just do good ol' benign neglect. Think more of taking care of your whole body more than of your hair and when the body is healthy-the hair will be too :) i am sure you'll have the hemline you want in time.Quote:
