What does APL mean?

[FroggyMonkeyMom]

What does APL mean? I figured out TBL and BSL. Is there a list of terms I could go to? Also what exactly is "classic" length?
:)

APL stands for armpit length. It's just the length where your ends are level with your armpits.

Classic length is right where your butt meets your thighs.

I'm sure there's an article about this somewhere...

Ahhh thank you! Is TBL slightly above classic or about the same?

TBL is tailbone length, which varies from top of buttock cleft ("vertical smile") to mid-buttock (so that if you push a finger, you can feel your hair at the level of your tailbone).

That's where I'm at, TBL. Thanks :)

That includes abbreviations and hair lengths. They aren't all there, though, I think new ones catch on all the time.
