I'm not one of those people, Black is visually more appealing on myself than brown though I'm currently bored of black too atm I want some fun with deposit colors

Cross posting from the monthly length photo thread.

If I can keep this growth rate I think I can make APL within 6 months. I'm planning not to trim for at least another 7.

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!

Looking at my hair I think the longest layers only need 1.5 - 2cm more for graduation. I don't think I'll reach that until next year because I have a trim around the holidays but it's really cool to notice.

Wow! Is that your natural texture? Those waves are to die for!

I think I’m on a similar timeline - my hope at the end of last year that I might reach APL by the end of 2021 has proved wildly optimistic! I’ve been a lot happier since I stopped obsessively measuring, so I don’t know exactly what sort of growth rate I’m getting, but I’m at peace with letting my hair do its thing.

Hey, congratulations! That sounds like good progress.

Thank you both! Yes they are my natural waves- finger combed while air drying. I will do a proper hair typing next year some time.

Holy smokes, gorgeous! I saw you answered air dry/finger waves but how do you get the top to behave? I was wondering if you air dry in a clip or low ponytail. I'm 2c but my waves go directly opposite my scalp so my hair fluffs outward instead of down unless I force it down during the air drying process.

I really struggle to get any texture on top. Actually, this is one of the reasons I cut off a lot of length. I thought it might be the weight of my hair. Ends up it dries flat/straight where ever it is resting against my head.

I guess I could say my texture is fragile. The waves are gone now, just some weird kinks remain because I wore it up yesterday.
