I hope so, Bat. Thanks for your support, it is appreciated. :blossom:
I may still be here for year myself, my growth has slowed some, this is a fact. Due to shrinkage my hair can appear a couple of inches shorter.
I tried to get a proper length shot, but I need an extra pair of hands. In the meantime, this gives an idea of how far I still have to go. Patience.:meditate:

Thanks, and yes, I lost a lot of the brown. If I were to pixie it would be mostly silver, not going to happen, though.:lol:

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Proper length shot for the thread, onward and downward.

I really need to stop fussing over my hair, my newest annoyance is that I look like I have a receding hairline but I'm sure it's what they call a 'mature' hairline, whatever it is called I don't like it D: great starting photo there

Mature hairline, not receding. Your hair in your avatar shows some obvious growth, Bat. You are on your way. :agree:

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
luluj, your color is so pretty! And I really like your avatar too!
Bat, I agree that your avatar shows clear growth. Seems like you're sticking to it! Stay strong.
Friends, I think I'm finally ready to call it. It's still sort of hovering around APL depending on how I angle my head, and it's so hard to take an accurate picture by myself because I have to actively pull my curls down, but I feel ready to say I've hit it when I'm trying to stand as straight as possible. I feel wildly proud of myself for not cutting it and I feel like I'm finally past the awkward stage where I ALWAYS cut it. It's the longest it's been in years and years.
Thanks for getting me through the rough parts! Now on to MBL...

Excellent news! I don’t know what it is about APL, but it has a magnetic field that simultaneously makes hair take forever to reach it, and take forever to escape it.

haha yeah that's what I'm feeling right now. I think it's because it's hard to discern where the heck it is. Arms move a lot, the angle of the head moves a lot. There's like flesh and fat at the armpit level that makes it hard to tell where exactly we're talking about. It seems to change every time I try to look at it.

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
My hair is a dry gross mess I'm trying to ignore it 🤣

Thank-You so much, Abacus. :flowers: You are there, congratulations! When dealing with shrinkage it often seems to take longer to reach goals, I know this very well, lol. You have lovely hair and curls, enjoy the journey to your next goal. :blossom:

Perhaps you could treat your hair to deep conditioning, Bat.

April will be here before you know it, time flies, or at least it does for me. I feel like the kids just got out of school for the summer and now they are back at it. Good luck with your chin goal! :blossom:

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I am finally able to do a side pony tail with a twist pattern. The pieces like to escape, still, but it works. I am not so sure I am liking the all one length, blunt hemline, blended layers are my favorite. Patience.
A photo of the side pony, with my favorite scrunchie.

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Hello all - joining this thread after a long hiatus from my terminal goal. Grew out to TBL and had a post pregnancy chop in 2020 to a 1920s bob style. I wasn't able to handle the shed.
While growing from that I lurked around. Now that I can finally use my little ficcare again, I am inspired to dip my toes back in :)
