I read in Cosmo that some people will have hair that keeps growing VERY long and others' hair will stop at a point like what you described.. so that might be the case! I guess it varies by person. My hair seems to start growing slower at a certain point but I always have to trim it before it gets to mid-back, which is how I want it to be! I'm hoping it will grow and that I won't have to get extensions for that.
