Oh my god, I can't imagine how exciting it would be to increase your hair length by that much in a YEAR. I'm hoping I can make it to BSL by this time next year, lol. That is completely amazing, though. I'd feel SO accomplished. I've been "bunning" the last two days as well as taking my Biotin the last week (I swear by it! It's worked for me in the past!), and I am definitely feeling optimistic that I will achieve some length.
My hair has already grown noticeable since I ended up with a ton of breakage when I stopped seeing my stylist in December. The whole back half of my hair was completely gone while the front halves were near SL. I couldn't even get it into a bun, and now I am able to wear high buns at the top of my head (w/o any pins holding up the shorter back hairs too)! I'm actually sort of proud about that, because I've been personally handling my hair for the last few months (sans relaxer) for the first time in my 21 years, so it's alllllllllllllll me. /puts on cool shades
