I wrap my hair at night with coconut oil or moisturiser and a satin bonnet.
LKayL, it would appear you only have a tiny bit more to go until APL, I'll bet you're at BSL by June 2010!
I'm just past shoulder and might be at APL in four months give or take. Glad to see others who are at the same stage of the journey. Way to go, everyone!
I'm at 18" with my longest layer so that's just past my shoulders. I had my hair cut and reshaped with layers earlier this month so there is about an 1.5 inch difference between that layer and the front one where it's just grazing my collar bones. I think I'll reach APL by May but there's no telling. I've got my finger's crossed though.
My last cut was Jan. 31, 2009. Since then I have been trying to grow. I started with the "A-line bob" or whatever you wanna call it.
Started in Feb. at 14" and measurement as of 10 minutes ago is baaaarely over 20". Here is a shot of my excel spreadsheet pics to show growth from March to November. I haven't added a Dec. pic yet.

I haven't decided on a specific goal other than "long" :D
I should be at APL in about 4.5 months, so next April - May. Seems so far away....but I'm sure it'll go by quickly.
This is me right now!:rolleyes: Shoulder length headed to the next goal of APL.
I was so excited when I finally started to reach Shoulder, but now I feel like it just stopped growing and is going to hang out at this length forever. I can't make a sock bun because my layers make the longest part of my hair too thin to cover any sock or bun donut. Maybe if I used one of those faux hair scrunchy type things it would hide the thinness and I could carry off the sock bun look.
Seems like a bunch of us are going to hit APL around the same time (this coming spring or summer). Woohoo!!! We'll have to have a virtual party of some sort when we do. I can't wait until I get there. Of course, then I'll be hankering for BSL, but each milestone is, well, a milestone. And I am SO eager for my hair to get long -- REALLY long -- again. Although I am (sort of) enjoying the journey, I want the destination, baby, and I want it NOW!!! :laugh:
