As embaressed as i am to have to ask (i couldn't find the answers anywhere else), could someone take mercy on this newbie and throw out some definitions of the many common abbreviations for length used on this site? To start APL, BSL, UBL, etc. I think i know some, but just want to be sure.
Also, i am joyful about my longer hair. I used to wear it in an inverted bob, but have been letting it grow. I feel sexier each inch i gain. :o it's comfortably past my shoulders now. Yay!
These are in order from longest to shortest:Quote:

UBL = upper back length (longer than shoulder length but not long enough to be called armpit length yet)
I think there's also a sticky for abbreviations on the "Mane" forum.
Hey all here is my latest pic
can I call this APL yet

I'm of the opinion that if you have to ask, the answer is "no, not yet" ...
Looking at the picture I think you have about 1 - 1.5" to go until APL.
Im at alittle past apl, and thinking about cutting it! I hate when it is down and the wind blows it into my armpit. But I love it long. Maybe that way I forget to make the appointment, lol.
Can I jump in on this thread? I am just a little past shoulder but it feels like a very long ways til I reach apl. I trimmed my hair about 1/4 in a few days ago. It hadnt been trimmed since March. I cant wait to get to know all of you ladies and gents! Happy growing!
Hey newbies. I feel like im never getting anywhere either. lol Im a slow grower lol
We are all in this together.
Some days I feel like it's -so- far away. Other days it feels like I'll be there in no time. Today is a day for the latter. I HATE my graduated bob thing I have going on today. The front of my hair is just barely skimming my shoulders. I will see how I feel about it by next weekend.
If i still hate it, I'm calling my hairdresser :mad:
Mine is doing the long hard road of growing out of a graduated bob.... Ive got lots of layers still growing out. I dont ever want to do another BOB
Since the weather has gotten colder I'm guessing not. My hair grows about an inch a month in warm weather, but it slows way down in the winter.Quote:
