Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Hi, I'm new here :) I recently chopped off my long hair due to heat damage around 4 months ago and it's grown around 2 inches since then. It's at shoulder length now and I have 2.5 inches of hair growth till I officially make it to APL.
I really do regret cutting my hair. Even though it was damaged, I loved my long hair. It made me feel pretty and now it's so short :'( I used to cry every time I washed my hair :/
So, I should reach APL by the end of January and planning to grow my hair till my waist! :D
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I decided to grow my hair about 4 months ago. Last week was my first end trim. Just snips. I go in for bang trim about monthly. I started keeping a hair journal last week with measurements. I just wish for the day when I can have a pony without bobby pins on these awful layers.
I think it will take about another year to reach bsl. Have to see how fast my hair really does grown.

Welcome to LHC ILoveYou... Lol :) and happy growing.
I'm also waist bound. Unfortunately, SL to APL is the looooooongest stretch for me. About 8" from shoulder o.O From there, it'll be a breeze... A few inches from BSL, and a couple more to waist. *SIGH OF REGRET* D:
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
:D that describes me! My hair is almost there if I stretch out the curlies, but otherwise its just getting past shoulder. I gave up striaghtening the back.... I still striaghten my fringe and sidelocks, lol. I would have a very tall afro if I didnt.
To spead things up I have been using monostat 7 every night, on the entire scalp for the first week of a every month. I also switch shampoos a LOT. I sometimes sleep with a head covered in coconut oil, or olive oil, and I take biotin and multivitams. I am vegan and contrary to popular belief that just seemed to make my hair grow faster. I eat a better diet then most though, so it might just be me.
Since I started measuring, Ive grown 5 inches in 5 months. I think thats pretty good for a vegan, LOL ;)

What's up everyone!
Just did a quick September measure-in. I'm at 20 inches again since my last trim (I had reached a little over 21 inches). APL is still about 3 inches away!
I was just looking at the body "markers" thread and realized after posting my picture that shoulder to APL is the longest distance for me, probably because my long neck and a long back! BSL to waist is the next longest but it's still 2 or 3 inches shorter than SHL-APL.
I've been on this thread since March and it's felt like FOREVER, especially since I've been between 17 and 21 inches the whole time.
Oh well, at least my hemline is more or less even and the worst of my highlights have been trimmed away.

Hiya to all the new people! Happy growing guys :)
And Alyanna I know exactly how you feel! I joined this thread in February I think and have been trimming horrible long POB layers to have a blunt hemline at APL. I'm finally back at 21 inches so really hoping it will be APL for Christmas! It is the longest distance between any body markers for me though.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Hi also to all the new people that have joined the thread:D
Hi to Alyanna and pink.sara I agree with you both, this is definitely the worst stage. My last measure put me at 20 inches, so 1 hopefully to go till apl:D I'm also in the no trims challenge, so trying not to trim till the end of the year. I also have a really uneven hemline (does not show well and pics) so can't wait to even up:D
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I can finally post to this thread with something useful. :] I just recently truly made it to SL, and I'm working to APL. I can finally put my hair up in a peacock twist, and that's all I ever do with my hair, now. Hah. http://www.sweetlycaustic.com/hair/hairmeasurein.jpg
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
It's been a year since I joined this thread! And I'm still no closer to APL lol

You could also try a sock bun, gibson tuck, french/dutch braids, variables in half-ups.
