I am also passed a year now, started with mine almost to my waist, most went above my shoulders, Now I am starting to notice a little growth, but then again I started taking Biotin about a month ago to speed up the growth. When I first started, I was aware of shrinkage, but holey shit, not like this!! Somehow it took me by surprise.

Thank you! Yeah, they are probably between one third and one quarter of the original hair length now, and that includes the year of hair growth in between. Think it's stopped shrinking and started growing out now.
I was never that bothered about ageing and greying and stuff, but dreading has taught me even more that it doesn't matter. I don't have locks to try and look good, so why should the colour matter? (Though I do like dyed ones on other people, can be really cool). I'm really into the idea of the growth of dreads recording the history of a person, and getting older is all part of that.
