My hair is not the same either, but I think when it reaches BSL or waist will make a cute round hemline! :D Plus half-ups work great. :cheese:

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!

I still have some layers. Last time my hair stylist cut my hair to be less layery. At this short length, I realised only afterwards, my hair does need layers.
I decided to only do S&D until my hair is at some point, where it does not need the layers any more. Meanwhile I hope my hair while get more layers naturally by itself. Obviously not every hair on my head grows with the same speed.

I don't know at what point (my) curly hair won't need layers any more. Maybe at BSL?

Getting close to APL but I still have lots of people tell me they love my new "shoulder length cut" even though it was at my shoulders months ago. :(

Yes I do consider it SL because I can't come up with a name for it until it's APL. :D

Woww. I wish I could find those in english.

You won't find it in English somewhere. One of the members made it up. I made a crappy translation while watching tv, but I think, you'll get the idea from it.

7.) lower edge of nose
8.) earlap length
9.) Chin length
10.) Nape length (in the middle of the nape)
11.) Schoulder length (when they first touch the shoulder)
12.) Upper back length (between schoulder and APL)
13.) APL (with arms down: beginning of armpit crease )
14.) middle of upper arm = about BSL
15.) mid back
16.) ellbow = about waist
17.) deep waist
18.) hip bone length
19.) top edge of but crease (haha)
20.) tailbone
21.) but length (middle of but)

Wow! Very cool forum! I do not speak, read or write German but languages have always fascinated me and thank goodness for cognates! :)

After browsing the forum, I was VERY pleased to see http://www.langhaarnetzwerk.de/phpBB...pic.php?t=4366
which is a thread that posts different pictures of the different hair types! After seeing the examples, I am now convinced I am a 2a!

Thank you for sharing that link.

I have been wanting to learn German for some time now, maybe that site will be my incentive! ;)
