In my very humble opinion, you have a good plan of action in place, trimming occasionally to remove damage will make you feel better about your hair. You enjoy adding some pizzazz to your hair with color, which is fun, and our hair journey should be just that, fun. As long as you trim/microtrim, you will gain length (albeit slower than a non-trimmer) and still enjoy your hair.

This thread is a good one......

Mines currently 17.5 so similar! Thanks for the link! Ive been eyeballing that topic for a few days now
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
This is my length shot from today. I still have months to go before I can graduate from this thread but there's definitely been progress! The other shot is from February and I had a little trim in April.

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Sneaking around this thread carefully, I can't wait to join officially.
I actually am going to check my hair length today later and if it's SL the way I expect it to be, I won't wait the end of the month to call it. :cool:
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Teklas April photo is where I want to be really before I call Shoulder I'm juuust not there yet maybe in 2 weeks I'll check
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Tekla's April photo is exactly my hair's length and shape and colour.

Yes, here I am :toast: Here's my beginning photo, and I hope I'll reach APL in May.
Btw, where is, for you, guys, CBL if looked at the length only from behind? Is that a middle between SL or closer to SL? https://forums.longhaircommunity.com...9&d=1600927829
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I think when it touches the top of your collarbone from the front you should be able to call it cbl from the back too
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
The front area is shorter. Or, do you mean when the longest layer, no matter which one, touches the collarbone?
I think I'm going to count it as a CBL when my longest layer reaches the bottom line of the photo I've poster. That is exactly the middle between SL and APL for me. So, let's say 4 months.
I've got to have some structure and a vision in next period :D
