My hair actually looked okay today in it's naturally wavy/curly state so I left it down for the first time in months! With my shrinkage it was just resting on my shoulders but I enjoyed wearing my hair down as it's something I can't often do.

One side of my hair grew noticeably longer (in the front), so I had to even it out. =( I just snipped that side a little bit, but I liked that it touched my chest when I sat down. (TMI?) :D
I know exactly what you mean! I hadn't been able to wear my hair naturally wavy for years without all the damage showing before I joined LHC. :) And now that it's summertime, I usually put my hair in a cinnabun right out of the shower, to help stay cool at work - and when I take it down, it's usually sticking out all over the place! Every once in a while, just as you said, it looks nice - but usually it's all wonky. But I can't stand to have mine down in this wretched heat anyway, so I'm hoping that by the time summer ends and I can wear it down more, I'll be all kinds of surprised at how long it's gotten! :cheese:Quote:

I am almost at apl again and hopefully i can remember 6 yrs down the line why i do not go to stylists :)
Lianna, I'm sure that is a mini milestone! Chest hitting length ;)
I know CrisDee! I can't wait until our hair is long enough to leave down and have it naturally look nice with the right weight behind the waves.
Haha. Thanks. *blushes* Since I had to cut it, needs half an inch for it again.Quote:

I stretched a few of the twists in the back and they're touching apl without even unravelling them so I might actually be full apl now.
I was expecting to be full APL by the middle of August but it looks like I'm ahead of schedule -woohoo! Makes me wonder if I can make bsl by the end of the year.
I'm not doing a real length check until August 19th so I don't want to get my hopes up but gosh this is exciting!
Just joined this thread because I cut my hair to shoulder. Currently maintaining till the last of the dye then on I go to APL :)
