I'm in and will stay hanging out in both threads.
My patch that was bald in January now has about 5 inches of hair. The longest layers in the back = 10 inches. The majority of the canopy = 7 inches.
The top half of my hair is shorter than I'd like, however after my trim I am liking the shape a little better. I wanted to cut the back a little more but a friend convinced me to hang in there and let it be. I only cut off the thin looking ends of my coils.
My hairline has taken a hit of breakage, especially in the back. So I'm laying off the wigs a while. Overall my hair is thickening up and I look forward to seeing more length in the new year.
