Mine started out growing pretty straight - and then at about your length the texture really started to appear. Yours also seems to have quite a lot of texture developing.
Thanks! I'm hoping so. It is actually calmer than it used to be, it tends to grow straight out to the sides, up or in any other direction than the one I would want. 

What is your (and anyone else who would like to weigh in) experience with soul patches? Do they tend to grow more as you age or pretty much stay the same? I would be a teeny bit sad if I couldn't have that full look but I'm more curious than anything.
