Ok, I am so happy. As you can see from my sig., it looked like I had a setback in April. I wanted to cut, but thanks to you guys' assurances about lead hairs, I did not. Now I am happy to say that my hair has filed out, and I am comfortably hip length. These pics are crappy, but I assure you, in real life, my ends look fine. I do not know what is up with my camera.
Thank you guys for your support and awesomeness. My hips are at the lowest crease on my shirt and at the bottom of my hand.
ETA:Sorry for the late update, but it was too hot in Sept. for a length check.
