I realized today that I have reached APL. Well, my ends have anyway! Still lots of layers that need to grow out, but i'll take this mini milestone! https://s6.postimg.org/kz13ht7vx/201...5-11-29-28.jpg
I lose quite a bit of length due to my curls and whirls!

Heading towards BSL. I guess I should join that thread:)

Ugh what happened?! At just slightly past collarbone I have the intense desire to chop it all off. 6 years ago I chopped it all off at this point too and kept it super short til now :/ I dont like the feeling of it up or like the look of it down, it's so hot and tickles me. Help!
Try something different. Pull it back with a new barrette or something. Try out a hairstyle you've never worn. I have that urge, too, sometimes, and this is what helps me. Try to do something different with it, and then forget it.Quote:

I've personally found curling (usually rag curls, which are basically pin curls only a smidge looser) to help when I want a change but can't/won't cut or dye it for whatever reason.
ETA: I also noticed that when it's curled and I put it up, it looks nicer. My messy buns are more full, I can do this cute "panda ear" bun style that's more full with curls, and even just pinning back the front looks more fresh and nice to me.
I've given myself permission to cut it all off once I've reached APL and I feel calmer now ;) What a journey!!
