Shoulder | Armpit

LadyFortuna - Yep, happens to me. A few pages back I posted some pics that someone described as "like your ends are trying to stay away from your shoulders" (I'm paraphrasing.)

I had a mini milestone this weekend. Wore my hair curly and still felt it brushing my shoulders all day.

Did this happen to anyone else?

Congratulations! Such a good feeling!

I basically forget I have hair most of the time. I put it up in a cinnabun as soon as I get up and it's held with either spin pins or small clips. Its so comfortable, I forget it's even there. I do the same thing out of the shower when I wash it too. I don't think it looks the greatest but I don't see many people these days, and when I do see them, I am usually wearing a hat because we have fierce sun still. I am looking forward to taking my October length pic soon.

You are all so sweet- thank you for the congratulations and compliments!! :inlove:
I'll still be lurking about here to watch you all progress! :D :cheer:

YEP! For me, it seems that with length some of my wave is returning. Makes my hair seem shorter than APL on a lot of days though.
It still is ~approximate APL territory~ though so I had to call it when I did, or I wouldn't have called it until 2 inches past LOL!

Doesn't seem to happen here. Mine however seems like its getting way more volume, like the shape of a raindrop or something.

Congrats, 0xalis! Your hair is always an inspiration!

This most definitely happens to me, though since it’s been long enough to wear up, I have worn it up almost every day, so hardly anyone gets to see the flip! On the few occasions where I’ve wanted to wear it down, if I have enough time, I’ll put it into two French braids when it’s damp, and then the braid waves counteract the flippiness.

You're so sweet, thank you :o
Yesss braid waves are the way to go!!!

Okay I guess I’m not alone in my weird second floppy’s rage then! Good to know at least, thanks. And nice to see everyone making such good progress!

I got a nice bit of encouragement yesterday. I thought that I had about 4" to go until reaching APL, but my husband noted that I'm actually about 2" away! :cheese:

He had been complimenting me on my growth a lot lately, and it was bugging me because I couldn't see it (not that he's normally disingenuous, but I just couldn't see it!). Maybe this means that we need a 2nd set of eyes before judging our hair too harshly and getting discouraged!

Thats great news and not to far to go at all.

Yes, absolutely! What we see is a combination of our past experiences, what we expect, and reality. (I've been reading up a bit on predictive coding models in cognitive psychology for work ;)). Its strange to think our perceptions aren't 100% accurate.

It's weird not being in here anymore I keep checking back and remember I'm back in buzz town not shoulder+ city
