Wahey! Oops I mean sorry to hear that hotrox and pixiestar! ;)
I'm about 2 1/2- 3 inches away so am crossing all available body parts to be there by Christmas! You two will get there ahead of me I think as my hair grows stupidly slowly recently. It's been forever from chin to APL, and shoulder to APL has taken nearly a year on it's own.
Hurry up hair!
Eeeeee! I am so excited! I had a little extra time on my hands this morning, so I decided to try a French braid. AND IT WORKED! I really wasn't sure I had enough length to finish it off, since my hair just brushes my shoulders now, but apparently I do. And the teeny-tiny tail at the end even agreed to tuck underneath without pulling the braid out. :-)
I haven't put my hair in a French braid since I went from waist-length to pixie cut over a decade ago. (Last time my hair was shoulder-length, I was dying every 7 weeks or so and doing some heat styling, so the texture wasn't really right for braiding.) I had forgotten the awesomeness that is the French braid. And only 3 bobby pins to hold the ends in place, in contrast to a couple dozen for my other hairdo! Woot!
Hey All!
I've been out of town for the past few days so haven't been posting. How are you guys all doing? I see lots of us are getting VERY close to reaching APL!
I had an excellent hair day yesterday, which I haven't had in a while. I've been using castor oil for the past few weeks since my derm told me to quit minoxidil. I haven't noticed any new hairs or anything, but my hair is fuller and my roots and scalp are super soft and feel healthy.
I'm about a month or so away from APL, but I'm also going to need a trim soon. If I wait until September, that would be 6 months without a trim. I don't know if I'll have the heart to cut right after reaching APL, but it will sure help with evening out the layers and getting rid of some hair dye.
Or maybe I'll stick with the "no trims in 2011 challenge" and wait until the end of the year. Depends on my hair's condition by the end of the summer, I guess.
I'll be here for a little while yet. I still have a good three inches to reach APL. I'm happy for everyone who is so close to the APL mini-goal. Here's hoping that last little bit of growth goes quickly.
I'm probably another with only an inch (maybe less) to go before APL. It's driving me batty! :justy: It feels so much nicer than it did last time I was at this length though! Maybe I need a little vitamin boost ...
There's so many of you close to APL due to summer! Congratulations!
Thanks Kathie, I'm still coconut oiling but I think i'll bite the bullet and get a trim, mu fringe needs one anyway as it's starting to become a comb-over.
Lol, you cant have that.Quote:

That will also give me at least an inch or two between my ends and APL so I won't lose a whole milestone when I get a trim. I'm still only getting velcro ends, no splits yet, so I'm hoping with a little babying my ends will make it.
Good luck to everyone else! We have one whole month of summer left. We can make it!
I keep hearing the term Velcro ends... I don't know what that means, can you please explain this to a newbie? Thanks!Quote:

*off to castor oil my scalp*
