Isn't it lovely feeling how ones hair can feel when clarifying first time in a long time? When you do it more often the magical change in hair texture doesn't happen so dramatically, although I still love my clarifying shampoo and use it when I notice the first signs of build-up.
What a great idea!!! I have at times made the twist diagonal, but never thought of completely sideways. It is like that right now and I love it. So glad to have brainy people on here. This the very reason I cut my hair years ago......I didn't have any ideas about how to wear it. I wore it mostly down and once in a while in a bun or sometimes pigtails. I didn't know how to French braid or twist or anything. And pigtails were starting to look babyish on me,lol.
Thanks so much Arctic!
:applause:cheer::joy:
Oh, yes the clarifying is the bomb...I can't believe the difference. And I don't think I ever clarified before....I know...it is very sad how little I knew about hair care. :cry:

Wonderful to hear it worked!!! Thanks for telling me! :cheer: I'm always happy to help!
I just got an idea from your own post, too: I've never tried diagonal french twist myself :D This is going to my to be tried list for sure, so thank You!
I hear you on pigtails, I haven't been comfortable wearing them either anymore.
Don't feel bad about not knowing much hair stuff previously. I think most of our members haven't learned about clarifying before LHC, and many many only have few hairstyles they can make. Besides in the grand scheme of things, hair stuff is after all quite superficial and non-important, and I think it's actually great if women use their brains on more important things than looks, you know :) So not knowing hair stuff can be seen a GOOD thing! :D
ETA: I'm not, ofcourse bashing us LHCers :D
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Damn, I thought I was super close to APL but the I just measured myself and it seems Im not. I felt like my hair was longer! :/ boooooo
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Arctic this is probably the lamest reply on the LHC......but....I workout.
:cloud9: kinda happy someone noticed.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I found a white dot!!! There may be more but due to the short length I cannot see much of the ends in the back.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Forgive my ignorance but what is a 'white dot'?

It is caused by damage. With mine if there is a dot a little way up from the end I can pull and the hair will break right off. I remember way back having them and split hairs.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
It's time for me to move on.. I thought I would make APL in the summer and I sure did.
I try not to check my length too often, so I'm solidly there.
Just to amuse and encourage you all, I added the first length shot I ever took, around the time I joined (yes, I had hearts on my mirror).
It's been near enough 10 months of growth, with a few microtrims in between.

The waves are from the bun I was wearing. But I like how the quality of my hair improved visably. It feels much better too!
See you all in the next thread and happy growing!
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
