Thank you, and that's fun! it's always nice to have people around that are at the same stage of growing. The ones with a lot longer hair can sure inspire, but I find it more encouraging to have other people that are "my length" around :oQuote:

I'm feeling really good about this one! I know my inconsistencies in photo taking, clothing and editing make it hard to tell but I feel like a can really see good growth this month?
Also, I'm not sure if I can call APL or not? I might wait another month, just to be sure??
Thank you :oQuote:

Also, I feel like I may actually be at CBL and not shoulder! I need to take a picture after I wash it later. I think it'll be more accurate clean than dirty. I haven't grown any, I just think I didn't really classify properly XD
I understand you. I would like to even my hair out as soon as possible too, but I've trimmed hair at shoulder and collarbone length before and it's not easy, it gets easier the longer it is. I would probably wait some more if I were you, that's what I am doing. I will probably start microtrimming once I reach apl, or maybe a few cm past that.Quote:

But I was cutting more than a little trim every time (last month I think it was at least 2") because it's easier than to cut a little bit all around. As it is just waiting for that takes most of my patience lolQuote:

It's not as bad as it was, at least. This picture was taken a couple weeks before my last cut, and the lengths that are the second shortest now were right about the same length as the curl shrinkage. I just barely curled the bottoms of them to make it all appear the same length. I did the same with the shortest bits that were at my mouth maybe?

But it takes me a couple of hours to put up, since I take breaks when my arms get tired. I don't always want to spend that much time XD
Your rag curls are so cute! I am also going to suggest waiting a bit longer before starting to trim the longer layers. I know it's hard!Quote:

I know how to now, but I want a perm way less XD Even though I'd probably love it, I wouldn't love the damage at all!Quote:

I just bought a hair fork off of wish (i really couldn't pass up on the $2 fork!) so I'll wait until it's here and I've used it a bit before I really commit to either cutting path. Even though I'm impatient XD
