Oops need to change my signature :-p
Just had a proper look at my hair, and the layers I have been hating so much have really seem to have grown more than I thought :D The shortest layers are at jaw/chin length, much better from being about 3 inches long when I started seriously growing. I think by the end of the year they'll finally look much less obvious and will blend much better, and I can finally think about letting the length grow out instead of maintaining at collar bone. woop!
Hey all! More of a lurker here. It feels like forever I've been stuck between SL and APL! Soaking wet it's only a couple inches away from APL. I remember 10 months ago I was just below collar bone soaking wet. I will be here for a while though, I hope to maintain APL as my horrible uneven layers catch up!
I'm jumping in. The back is at my shoulders, but the front isn't yet--grown out pixie with no trims.
It's been many years since my hair was long enough to put up, and it was heavily processed/damaged back then. My hair is new, and I'm trying to figure it out as I go.
How do you deal with slippery hair? How do you keep it from sliding out of your updos without making them tight? Maybe my hair is just too short and will behave better when there's more to work with? (My go-to style is an ear-to-ear lace braid. I have to braid damp and put a bobbypin in every couple of inches or it falls out. Same with a French/dutch braid back from my forehead. I've used a parandi once or twice, but it's still a little short for it.) help, please?
Bobby pins, headbands, piggytails, half ups, aloe to help with hold, light oil while damp to help with braids. Those were my go to's for keeping my hair out of my way! Good luck and keep up the good work! A year from now this will all be a bad memory.
Thanks, SerinaDaith! I'll try those things. Thanks for the encouragement. It already looks much better than it did in September. I need to update my siggy.
welcome, browneyedsusan ! When my hair was your length i used bobby pins, loads and loads of bobby pins.. And like SerinaDaith said, a year from now this will only be a bad memory! Good luck with the growing and welcome to this thread!
I think I have reached collarbone-length! Is that even a length? :P

What do you think? (My head is tilted backwards in the 2nd photo.. my tattoo is just right above the collarbone, so when I stretch my hair, it definitely ends underneath the collarbone.. does that count?)
Yep you're definitely collarbone! Congrats! It's definitely a nice mini-milestone. Your colour looks even more amazing than usual on these photos, I like how rich the red looks!
I have something like 2-3 inches to go to get to APL. But my hair has been experiencing its usual winter slow growth which is no fun. I also feel too cold to be doing redbush sprays and too lazy to do oil massages. I've also been wearing my hair mostly down as nothing works on it at this stupid length.
I made it! :)

I'll take a picture of my hair not soaking wet, too, but I'd say I am now firmly at APL! Woohoo! This picture is also quite nice for seeing how far my next step is ^^
