    Cool APL this year!

    Making a new version of tomm's thread because I really enjoyed that one.

    A thread for you who will reach Arm Pit Length this year. Let's grow together!

    I will reach APL in about 3 or 4 months if I just guesstimate. I am growing from a pixieish cut that I got in summer 2006. Joined LHC in late October 2006 and spent the first year getting rid of my many layers. Cut to one length hair in August 2007 and now my focus is gaining length!

    What about you?

    Hurrah! My home away from home.

    I think I should hit my goal in 1-2 months. This makes me very excited, understandably! I've been wearing my hair up almost everyday lately so I can just forget about it and let it grow. Every time I let it down, it's a pleasant surprise.

    Thanks for starting this thread up again, Lize!

    I should reach APL length wet some time this year. As for dry - who knows *sigh*

    In the meantime - as a mini-milestone - it now is an ingrained habit for me to free my hair from underneath my collar when I put on a shirt or coat! This is, of course, a frequent requirement since it seems to delight in slipping back underneath at every opportunity.

    *leaps in* My longest layers are probably 3-4 months away from APL as well.

    I know what you mean about that first collar snag, tomm, it's a great feeling

    I'm very, very nearly there. My longest hairs are at APL now but most of it has another couple of months to go, I'm also planning on trimming a bit in a couple of weeks to get rid of some really horrible ends which means that when I do get there there shouldn't be too many layers.

    i don't wear my hair down generally but now I get the end of my braid getting caught in the collar of tops and even curly back up and sticking in my ear

    Yay, Gemma! 1-2 months, that's nothing! You will be there very very soon!

    And tomm, yay for milestones!

    My hair is longer in the front and some of the hair is already at APL when wet but it will take some time before all of my hair reaches it, especially when it's dry. I have no idea how long it will take but APL is my first semi-goal lengthwise.

    Oh! Thanks for starting this. I had never thought about APL as a goal... but it's perfect for me now, because I might be there in 12 months, if I squeeze my eyes real tight and do lots of scalp massages!
