Ok, Ladies. I need to express both extreme shock, pleasure, and seek your counsel.
Sometimes have actual dreams of having beautiful waist length hair. Of course, when I'd wash it at the end of the week and do a quick front length check, it'd be BSL. Now, I'm not complaining about that. I like to get goofy and tuck the front part of my hair under my boobs just because I can (I know, I'm weird). My hair is healthy and strong and for that I am glad. My intern asked me to take my hair out of my bun two weeks ago, and because it's hard to say no to her, I did. She said that she really thinks my hair ought to be near waist length, but I told her that it was a little past my bra strap. She didn't look convinced, but she let it go.
Fast forward to last night when I deep conditioned with heat for the first time in almost a year because I finally replaced my hood dryer. My hair was very happy after that, so I decided to do a length check, but this time I pulled from the lower half of my hair the back.
O. M. G. My hair was indeed almost to my waist in the back. I kept thinking that maybe I was pulling on loose hairs and expected to have them slide off into my hands. But when I tugged hard, I snapped head backwards (ow!) and no hairs came out. I gave up a long time ago on growing my hair and focused on health because I thought my medications prevented my hair from growing past BSL.
I promise I will post pics. But I washed my hair and checked the length at midnight and was too tired to get set up my camera and take pics. I just finished my normal routine (update in my profile) and went to bed. When I wash my hair again I promise I will take pics and update the thread! Pics or it didn't happen, right?
My question is this: Clearly I need to try and make a little effort to grow the front of my hair, but will it work? Has anyone else dealt with extreme layers like this? What did you do? Halp!

I can imagine my hair looking similar to yours in about 1.5 yr from now.
