Yes I've heard of the Flexi's! You'll get there in no time! I can't wait to see you share your styles and toys later on. :D I hope you can join us tomorrow for the towel test! Yay:D
Thanks! I think I will. Mine will be more along the lines of "Can I call this shoulder?":) That way I will have a good baseline.

I agree with all your points with braiding. Don't let layers get to you, remember the good old trick of using bobby pins to hide them!:D
It's not my natural color :p
And thanks, I really needed to hear that after this weekend's dying fun :D:cheese:

A bit early, but seeing as I will be leaving next month before the first Thursday to study abroad, I'll just post a pic of my hair right now. I cut it to a bob in December.
Thirstylocks - your growth has been amazing! From chin to here - wow!

I guess because she is encouraging me to keep wearing my hair up, and so she designed a piece that should carry me all the way to waist and beyond. Omg I feel so intimidated right now. I'll definitely need some help with advice when this piece arrives, please... I'll probably end up experimenting with different kinds of french twists, and peacock styles to make this piece work for my current length! I don't think i'll be able to do a bun with this piece, but styled more like ravenheather. Here is the preview she sent, along with action shots for my first ever Grahtoestudio hair fork:
Rowie, that fork is stunning. I love the detail, and the idea of a hair toy that will work with you all the way on your hair journey!

It would be perfect for us to see each other's style and then copy it, cause I know for me, at this stage of my hair growth, I'm already having difficulties making up styles because I can't do a good perfect solid bun. But at least most of us in here can do a basic french braid. :happydance:
Yes! I would do nothing but a peacock twist if it wasn't for this site. But so many of the styles are for longer hair, so we can all inspire each other :D

I've been looking at Baerreis forks.. I really love their "Egyptian" design.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I am so bad. :doh: I skipped my treatment last week, and I'm doing one late this week.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I just want to whine....
I can't quite understand why my hair - at the healthiest it had ever been - looked so thin and scraggly when long. I can't understand why my a-hole ex-dresser cut me to ear/chin layers instead of APL almost a year ago when I asked for APL. I can't understand why layers make me look like I have zero hair (see-though ends). I can't understand why at shoulder/flip my hair still looks so thin I want to shave my head.
I especially can't understand why when my hair was this length in college, in all my bleach/color/heat glory, it looked so much better and thicker than it does today completely virgin and healthy.
whhhhhyyy?
End whine.

:grouphug: Sorry you're having a bad hair moment. I think this is just such an awkward length expecially for wavy thinnies. I feel your pain.
I want to add a treatment to my routine, but can't decide what. I was thinking about cocoveda oil and sukesh ayurveda herbs from henna sooq. The sukesh is cassia plus other goodies. I'm always interested in thickening. Then I just read about catnip being good for fine haired wavies so that caught my attention. Then there's monistat. How nice would it be to get to apl twice as fast. I've also considered adding msm to decrease shedding but I think I'd rather have something with a little quicker results.
So anyone care to weigh in on which I should try?
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Hey gang!
It has been a while. I am well past APL straight now at 23" stretched, but I have a long way to go curly. Looking forward to towel test thursday results.
@Rowie- LOVE the GTS fork, very intricate. Please post action shots when you get it!
@Battles- Yay for being nearly APL!! :blossom:
@Bunnysaur- would love to see pics of your PM sticks. I love PM they are my favourite everyday hairsticks by far!!
@InTheCity- hang in there! I think your hair is fabulous.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I checked tonight, i'm finally @ APL, just barely but my longest hairs have the towel finally @ 24"
Will post pic on towel Thurs :)
