Past My Ears, Please!!!

I don't know if it is mental or not, but e'ry time I get a damn trim it seems as if I got a major hair cut. I know daggone well I didn't cut that much off my ends. My hair is not like it was last week, and I am sad!!!! I want my hair to sprout out of my scalp like bean sprouts!!!!!! This is extremely frustrating, and I have never been disappointed in my hair at all. I have just embraced it, but the nappy truth is, I need a solution. I watch youtube videos of women after their first year, and it is comparison to a person who has been growing their hair for years. I am not looking for hair to flow down my back just past my ears.... GROW PLEASE & Thank you!!!!
