I do have the advantage of minimal height

I've been quite pleased with how consistent my hair has been, in spite of the inconsistency of my habits. Hopefully soon It'll be long enough to sit on, then maybe one day I'll venture down to such epic lengths as yours!

Yes! Absolutely this, the obsession at shorter lengths makes it so hard to commit to letting it grow out. It's always the temptation to make it look styled (because let's face it, some lengths are just, so difficult to make look good at those shorter inbetween lengths), vs growing out. But the delayed gratification of growing combined with the pressing urge to cut = a recipe for lots of back and forth!

aw thank you so very much, I loved seeing these kinds of progress pics when I was just starting to grow it out, gave me a lot of hope, so hoping it will do the same for others!

Thank you! I'm feeling really good about my hair since that last cut in October, it finally feels like "me"

Be careful what you wish for!
