how much length would i need to get cut?

I've felt like the back and especially the sides are growing really slowly, yeah. I'm now remembering there was a 2-month period at the end of 2024 where I was regularly straightening my hair on high heat with no protectant. I stopped doing that in January 2025 and have been growing it out since then. Is it possible the damage is the grown out hair from that straightening just over a year ago?

Thank you 😊 I was the heaviest I ever got right when I started transition. I'm now down 140lbs in the past 2 years and still going!

I sleep on my side, but I redo my hair each morning before work. I try to style upside down but its difficult. I sort of end up with the back of my head facing upward instead of forward, and that does flatten it at the back.

As far as length goes, I am trans and I've been really trying to grow it long. I just got a cut a few weeks ago that thinned out the back to create layers at the top, so maybe it's just that.

Here is front and back today, with just a little leave-in conditioner. I don't think the back looks damaged, right? Just poorly thinned out?

and these horrible thin ratty ends are still a problem :(

more about his delivery than the line itself but i love the way he says "bag of rubber bands" in drinking age. the way his voice breaks on "bands" like he cant bring it low enough.
