Today, I hit APL.

[GlassEyes]

Imagine my surprise when my hair got caught in my damn armpit when I showered this morning.

I'm not pleased. Why? Because I haven't even hit shoulder curly. :wail:

On the plus side, this is officially the longest my hair has been. Maybe I'll post pictures later, though it isn't that different than my last update...sadly. Argh. DAMN SHRINKAGE.

Edit: Pictures. Not much. Also, it's raining here, so frizz, but my hair's not actually that bad.

Dry.

Dry with less flash. xD;

Front

Stretched- a little shorter than it actually is. It's the back that's APL, really--the front is close, but layered.

[Naluin]

I feel your pain on the shrinkage, but at least you're making progress! :)

Congrats!

[Coriander]

Congratulations!
I think you have lovely curls - they're very glossy and uniform!

[GlassEyes]

I feel your pain on the shrinkage, but at least you're making progress! :)

Congrats!
Yeah. I guess it's good because I can still do buns and stuff despite having visually-short hair. I can't do a proper braid still though--too many layers. ):

Congratulations!

Thank you. XD Though I don't think they're uniform enough.

[Stormsong]

Congratulations! now you know you're getting closer to shoulder length curls :)

[Nightshade]

Imagine my surprise when my hair got caught in my damn armpit when I showered this morning.

Argh. DAMN SHRINKAGE.

Well, try taking a warmer shower ;) :lol:

You're making great progress,GlassEyes, you can even make a bun now :)

[Fillette]

Congrats on your progress!! :flower: And for what it's worth, I completely sympathise with you. Shrinkage sucks. But look on the bright side, you hair looks amazing and you've reached an important milestone. :)

[Ryanne]

That's wonderful. Congratulations!

[AmyJorgensen]

Party time! Excellent!

Hey, at least YOU know it is APL. You'll be there with the curls soon enough.

[rags]

That's great! As someone else said, you can make buns and everything; it's only short visually! The magical shrinking hair!:D

[Wanderer09]

w00t!! Congrats on the milestone!

[zen_oven]

Congratulations!

I feel your pain about the curlies, though I think your hair is A LOT curlier than mine. If I stretch my bottom layer, I'm a couple inches from waist, but it's barely BSL curly. GAH.

Great progress though!

[RoseRedDead]

Congratulations on getting this far.

I can sypmathise with shrinkage, though mine is nowhere NEAR as bad as yours... but I still have it. Hmph.

[PurpleAshes]

Congratulations! :)

[rach]

well done :D
sadly the curlier it is the more patient you need to be with it.

[redneckprincess]

how fustrating......but congrats though Im about 6-9 months from the longest ive ever been

[GlassEyes]

Well, try taking a warmer shower ;) :lol:

You're making great progress,GlassEyes, you can even make a bun now :)
:cry: Those don't help. It just never gets as long as I want it to be. Maybe there's some sort of...'growth' pill I can take.

:lol:

Yeah, I can. A few, actually. I guess there's always a bright side.

Thank you everyone. I'm going to work on getting pictures since my hair is down today anyway.

[Stubborn]

Congrats!

I feel your pain with the shrinkage. Though mines not as bad as yours. I still hate shrinkage... with a firey passion haha

[JamieLeigh]

That's awesome you're at APL wet. :D Congrats!! I imagine the shrinkage issue is irritating, but I think it looks amazing.

[GlassEyes]

Quite. Argh.

[jessie58]

That long when pulled straight? :thud:

Your curls are perfect I love them.

[GlassEyes]

:bigeyes:

Um... :flamed: we need a "fanning oneself" smiley.

:lol: Or maybe an "eye examination" smilie.

They're far from perfect, but they're my pain-in-the-butt curls. xD So thank you.

[getoffmyskittle]

:lol: Or maybe an "eye examination" smilie.

No, no. Trust me. I'm an expert. :eyebrows:

[girlcat36]

GlassEyes---you have the BEST curls!

[Cricket1]

Who cares if your hair doesn't look APL.. it is gorgeous!! you have beautiful curls

[Redheaded Raven]

Congratulations!:D

[GlassEyes]

No, no. Trust me. I'm an expert. :eyebrows:

Even experts have their moments of being blind. xD;


GlassEyes---you have the BEST curls!

Thank you. Your's are lovely too, though. I hope you get to tailbone!


Who cares if your hair doesn't look APL.. it is gorgeous!! you have beautiful curls

Thank you. It'd just be nice if the curls were AT APL already. xD


Congratulations!:D
Thanks.

[getoffmyskittle]

What, blind, me? *from behind glasses* :eye:

[Cereus]

How do you get those curls!

[GlassEyes]

What, blind, me? *from behind glasses* :eye:I guess I didn't thank you. Thank you. XD;


How do you get those curls!

I perm my hair. Highly recommend it. :)

Nah, they just sprout from my head that way. :D

[snowbear]

Your hair never ceases to be amazing. :thud:

[ladylibra]

GlassEyes, don't make me cyber-smack you! :slap: My APL layers don't even come past my chin. And the bottom layer that was midback still barely was touching my shoulders. :rolleyes:

Freaking. Gorgeous. Curls. Stop. Complaining! :laugh:

[Teazel]

Awesome! Congrats on APL, and even though your curls boinnnngg right back up again, they're worth the loss of length. :D

[jeno]

I LOVE your curls! They are amazing...

[Flynn]

Gosh! With those curls, I wouldn't care about the shrinkage!

[may1em]

Your curls are super-amazing! So shiny and healthy!

[Nightshade]

:cry: Those don't help. It just never gets as long as I want it to be. Maybe there's some sort of...'growth' pill I can take.

:lol:

:spitting: :twisted: :eyebrows:

[Debra83]

I agree!!!


You beat me too!!!! :henny:

[Chrissy]

Hi Glasseyes. Looking good as usual. Do your curls naturally do the ringlet thing on there own? They look very healthy. It would be frustrating sometimes to be a curly but your hair always looks great. Thanks for adding pics.

[Moonstruck]

Oh wow, those curls are STELLAR. Congrats on the APL, even if it's not exactly um, the way you want, haha? It looks lovely.

[rose_in_bloom]

Wow, those curls are awesome!!! And congrats on the growth! This calls for cheese. :cheese:

[Gutterfayrie]

congratulations on hitting APL!

[GlassEyes]

QUOTE PAGE O'DOOM. Some smilies may have been cut out. xD

XD I know, I know. Other people have worse shrinkage than me. Thank you.

Maybe. XD; Sometimes they're just a pain. Thank you.


I LOVE your curls! They are amazing...
Thank you! Believe me, they're a LOT less 'amazing' in person. xD;

Gosh! With those curls, I wouldn't care about the shrinkage!
Eh. I look funny with my hair this length. All the layers and stuff are wonky now, so it looks kind of weird down. XD; I just want it longer already. But thank you.

Your curls are super-amazing! So shiny and healthy!
Thank you.

:spitting: :twisted: :eyebrows:

Psh, you'll catch up. xD;

Yeah, they do just sprout from my head like this. Well, they sort of do; I do use a lot of products, but the curl itself is natural, no perms or rollers or what not. I do tend to twist strands though (which can make it look rather funny in places).

And thank you. They've come a long way since I've first come here, that's for sure. NO MORE BLEACH DAMAGE. IRONIC BECAUSE I'M BLEACHING IT SOON. xD;

XD Yay, my hair is worthy of cheese! Thank you.

[LutraLutra]

That's great progress, even with the shrinkage. Plus your hair looks in wonderful condition and your curls give me serious curl envy :D

[Silver & Gold]

It must be extremely frustrating to have curls that eat so much of your length. But I just have to tell you that those curls are beautiful and you seem to manage them perfectly.

[Garnet66]

Congrats on making APL. I think it's one of the hardest lengths to reach.

[Loviatar]

OMG Your curls are AMAZING. XD If I could rock curls, I'd want 'em like yours. Proper boinging spirals.

:thud:

Congratulations on the APL, even if there is shrinkage with the curl.

[GlassEyes]

congratulations on hitting APL!
Thank you!

XD thank you. Believe me, you wouldn't always be envious of them.

It is, especially since I don't consider myself properly there yet.

[Kiraela]

Is it sad that most of this thread made me giggle?


Seriously, though, congrats on reaching stretched-APL. Your curls are always so much fun to watch the progress of!

[Speckla]

Your hair is so gorgeous. The new length really does show! Yeah!
