Greetings everyone, and hopefully it's okay to post this here. . . I took a progress photo tonight, and I'm wondering if I can officially say I've hit APL. It sort of looks like it, but I could use your unbiased opinions. Here's the photo:

My hair is a little fuzzy and weird tonight due to moisture/humidity. So, what do you think? Am I at APL or will it be another month or two?

Thanks! Don't worry, I won't get upset if I'm told I'm only dreaming about reaching APL. :)

Your hair looks as if it is exactly where mine is. It seems like it has just hit where your armpit creases but I don't know if you can comfortably call it APL. I'd say 'just hit apl' or 'barely apl,' but I'm interested to see what others think since I'm biased :P

I'd say it's not quite APL, but almost. I'd say you could call it "barely APL" though. I love your colour and wave!

Your hair is very pretty. I'd say it will be at APL very VERY soon. Patience, grasshopper!

We have the same issue--long armpits ;) I am longer than you but I still don't feel solidly APL because my hair doesn't get caught underneath my armpits unless it's wet. The good news is we will get from APL to BSL very fast.

Oh my, I hope so. It seems like a long way between those two. I know I'm going to wind up setting myself back eventually because I'll want to get my layers evened up, but I'm holding out as long as I can possibly stand it.

this just me , but i would consider it APL when it naturally lays like a half inch or more past the "line"

Easy way to tell: Wrap measuring tape, yarn, or a skinny belt around your torso up under your armpits so you have a line to judge by. I think you're APL if you were to pull your hair straight, but just barely with it being naturally wavy. So close! :)

You are APL when pulled straight, and not quite there yet when hanging naturally. But be patient, you will be there soon. I love your hair wavies by the way :)

Thank you! I'm learning to love them myself.

My bottom layer is BSL when I stretch it, but in my mind it doesn't count. :)

I'll go against the grain and say: I would call that APL if it were me!

Oddly enough I just asked this question, and it looks like we are in a real similiar place, with similiar responses from posters. I decided this morning I was because when I turned my head the ends got in my deoderant. I decided that was a definitive yardstick, you might try to see if you have a similiar experience, or maybe not as it was not pleasant.

It looks borederline, but I'm sure if you pulled it down it'd probably be there, right?
