Sometimes ya just have to lose some length! I'm glad that the length loss is working out better for you now. Five inches seems like a lot, but its so worth it to have less struggle. I've recently had to cut my DD's hair because of damage and it's a major relief, even though I miss her long hair. Cutting can be so bittersweet. The good part is that healthier ends causes less damage to the length when there's not as much a detangling struggle.
