Shoulder | Armpit

The journey from SL to APL is ridiculously hard!! Hmph! :steam

Anyway, I measured my hair dry today and I am at 20.5". I have 3" to go in the back until I'm at APL and I have 2.5" to go in the front to APL. I won't really count it until it reaches dry at the back, but I will be so happy when I get there in the front! :disco: I'm going to take progress pics tomorrow and compare them with my pics from three months ago.

It's so nice checking in here and seeing everyone else dealing with the same thing. Last time I grew my hair out I didn't know about LHC or any of the length terms I just wanted my hair to be "long" and it was "not long." so at least I know that I'm making progress!

Eva888, if you don't have to trim, you could have your APL-in-front goal for Christmas!

Oh, wow! I´m going to throw virtual fireworks for you when you make it to APL! Really!!! :taz:

I started with hair that looked like this:

http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/...3&d=1391218434

And the problem was that it´d never grow past that! Ever! So I chopped it at chin length to give it volume and see if being more heavy and blunt would help with the growth process. Crossing my fingers I´ll make it to BSL this time. :graduate:

:blossom:

Yay, fireworks! :magic:

Well, blunt is what you've got right now, good stuff! I think you will make it no problems!

This was my length a couple of weeks ago before I stupidly picked up the scissors. This is my hair straightened, I lose a lot to waves.

Thanks!

Your hair looks amazingly thick and really blunt!

In my case, since I had bangs, I had to make a huuuuuge U cut to the front to have it in one lenght so I´ve been battling with that also and it doesn´t look as straight. But getting there..:shrug:

Happy Growing! :waving:

Here's my monthly pic. Not much progress in length, but it does look thicker. Sorry it's so small. It's a clickable thumbnail.

This is my length update photo! It's growing a little slower than I'd like it to, but at least I'm getting closer. It's finally inching down my back instead of sitting on my shoulders :)

Thanks for the support! and I got the top at target :)

I'm pretty sure I've finally hit shoulder length so here I am, ready to travel with you all to APL. (gonna repost the pic I put in the 2014 montly length thread so we can all celebrate my victory of finally growing out my pixie cut to shoulder length)

(also I'd like to point out that it had been up in a hair tie and was kind of curling up a bit at the ends. when it's not curling at the ends, it's pretty much at the highest part of my shoulders)

Congratulations on making it to shoulder, irodaryne, and welcome!

Stay strong Decemberrose!! And welcome, irodaryne :blossom:

Welcome! Your hair looks very healthy.

The last pictures I posted were of my hair wet, so here are my normal hair pics for a growth update. I'm really happy with how things are coming along. I'd say I'm almost halfway there :)

Congrats BeccaAngel and Stray_mind on reaching the hard milestone APL!!!!!!!!!!!! Now moving on to loooooong hair! :pegasus:

I guess I would fit in here :) my hair is at shoulder length right now, will slowly make my way towards apl. I think it will take about a year... a long wait :S Not sure how active this thread is, but Hello everyone who is here! :D

Welcome, Estrid!

I am so close to collarbone I can almost taste it! It's such a small milestone, but it's important to me! Grow hair, grow!
