Have you ever noticed how bangs, which you don't really want to grow, always seem to get long waaaay faster than your regular hair? It's the same hair, but I'd swear when I have bangs they grow at least twice as fast!Quote:

Is anyone planning to celebrate when they hit APL? Like buying a new hairtoy, trying a new treatment, evening uneven ends?
I'm SOOO tempted to straighten my ends NOW! The extra long piece make some buns possible to do now, though. I still can't decide whether or not to do it now or wait. Suggestions? The longest pieces are about 1 1/2 inches longer than the shorter ones. I don't often wear my hair down, though, so it's not really noticable to other people.
I agree about the watched pot thing.
In the past, I've grown my hair out from APL or BSL to beyond TBL with no effort. It always seemed to grow out quickly because I wasn't paying attention. I just couldn't be bothered with getting it cut.
Also, when I'm at shoulder length the hair sits differently. After BSL or so it basically just feels long (to me, anyway).
I decided to grow my hair out because I'd been so busy for months that I just didn't have time to go in and get it cut--people started saying, "Wow, your hair has gotten longer!" so I figured hey, now's the time to do it...and now of course it seems like it's not growing at all. Ugh.
Glad I am not the only one. I know that it is growing becuase I look at my older pictures and I can see the progress. I know we will all glance at our hair one day and it will be longer than we were expecting.
Happy Growing!
I'm at 20" stretched! Finally out of teens and I'm seeing some progress. 3 more inches to go until APL... I cannot wait.
