APL is about 22" on me and I'm 5'4".

these are taken just a couple days apart, so the length is nearly exactly the same.
It looks to me like I'm most definitely at APL since I've started my summer growing though, yesss :D
ETA: I'll see you guys at the APL to BSL thread! I'm calling it good now since I'm clearly past APL.
I haven't quite figured out the measuring thing yet, I'd probably have to get my fiance to do it for me, I'm 5'5'' though, so probably around 23-25 inches, but that never made sense to me really because if you pluck a hair from my head, it most certainly is not that long! Oh well. :) I did a towel test today and I'm about an inch shy of my longest layer reaching APL! I'm so excited, I think I might actually get to have APL hair for my wedding!
I probably should have added that I'm about 5'2"
Bye, uptosomeone! *waves* Hopefully see you soon! :D
I'm not sure where APL is on me.. I know BSL is around 25-27", and waist is around 30-32".
I'm 5'6, and currently at 22.5", so.. I mean... I really *should* be APL by now, but in pictures it just doesn't seem it yet. Maybe my camera angles are wrong or something.
I do kind of want to wait until my front layer hits APL in the front too, which is at least another inch.
I guess I will find out where I am when I manage to do my late TTT. :)
Here's a tutorial on the lwb with a fork, stick and flexi.

I think APL is around 25" on me and I'm 5'7. I thought I was at APL the other day when I did a towel test but I had my sister trim my hair and she cut off WAY more than I told her to. Now I'm a good few inches off again.
I'm at 22.5 inches, 5' 7.5 inches tall. MY Dh measured the distance between the end of my hair and the towel and he said it's less than an inch away, about 3/4 of an inch. I'm hoping to be confidently at APL by the end of June :) I hope!!
I'm not sure where APL is on me, I do know that my hair is now approx. 21", and it still isn't there. So maybe 23"? It doesn't seem too far off.. I'm going to upload a length shot (belated TTT) today or tomorrow for you guys :).
BTW, i finally uploaded the pictures of my headband curls/interview look to photobucket, so here you are:

Have a great sunday everyone! :flower:
Oh wow, MegaMystery, those are extremely lovely curls! I was not aware it was possible to do that with a headband :) !!
All the rest of you growers, very nice pictures!!! I've only been following this thread for two months or so and I never really spent much time thinking about growth before (what brought me to LHC initially was more hair care rather than growth) but I'm really quite amazed how quickly hair grows! There is clear progress on everyone!
As for myself, I was on holiday and totally off-line last week. I haven't had a chance to take pictures yet and I think I'll just skip this month. I'm in the middle of a stretching washes experiment anyway and if I let my hair down it ain't pretty at the moment.
Another thing I was wondering about... most of you seem to take the measurements when the hair is wet. Is that the "official" way to measure? For myself that always seems kind of like cheating ;) :cool:. I don't think I would feel like I had APL hair unless it looked APL dried... I don't inted to offend here, I'm reallt just wondering... :o
Anyway, I just love looking at the pictures in this thread :D
