Hello all again. Can I come back here? I chopped off my henna hair to shoulder. My scalp was hurting all the time no matter what I did to my hair. So all virgin hair again, Im growing out again. But this time I think I will try to keep some layers and a taper in it, to keep it from getting so heavy. My new hair is my avatar, I gained some big curl somewhere. So happy growing.
I'm going mine out, but I've been told that once the baby is born a lot will fall out :( We'll see. I know I won't be able to care much for myself or my hair for a while.
Well, when you're pregnant you shed much less than normal and then after the baby is born it sheds quite a bit, but my post-baby shedding was never too noticeable.
Hi to all of the newcomers to the thread. The more the merrier. :)
Dear Helpful Moderator: Would you mind deleting this post #2294? Somehow my post ended up displaying twice and I can't figure out how to make it go away! LOL Thank you kindly!
I'm officially bowing out of this thread and off to BSL dream land!
I know I wasn't on here much at all recently, but still want to wish everyone happy growing and to encourage you by saying it happens faster than you think! Everyone who is leaving says that, huh? I just clipped mine up every day with my claw clip/ficcare so I wouldn't obsess over it, and babied it. Did my twist cuts to manage split ends in the length and to stimulate growth which I absolutely believe it does from nearly 5 years of doing it and observing my growth when I stop, coconut oil, etc.
I was really frustrated May-August LOL. I seemed to literally stall all growth and it lasted a couple of months then suddenly it sprouted up like mad, 1.5 inches some months (a lot for me) and now I'm past APL below my shoulder blades well on my way to BSL. I hit "can I call this APL" in August, barely. I went on a month vacation, came back, ignored my hair for another couple of months and suddenly I notice I am way past! So, as fun as it is to dwell here and meet some fabulous friends in the process, it did me worlds of good to forget about it for a while. Now I feel encouraged and ready to tackle BSL with a better attitude.
I wish you all speedy and happy growing! See you on the next thread!
That's great! I like the idea of calling APL when you're a little bit past it. I plan to do the same....I don't want it to be dependent on the straightness of my hair that day or the angle of my chin or something like that.
So I think I've just made it past APL when my hair is dry. It has to be brushed out a bit, but since the weather is cooling down it really just needs to fall out of the tight curls (no brushing needed). I'll take pictures at the start of the month, but I'm still very excited!
So i'm not the only one who's crazy that thinks the position of my head makes it almost there..and then almost not there?
I think I'm almost there at APL. when my hair's wet. Then the wurls kick it and it's KO :( maybe i'll just wait till i'm past it.
I wouldn't count myself at APL (ar any length) until I'm solidly at it or a bit past. So it's not one strand of hair, or only if my head is at a certain angle, or I hunch my shoulders or anything like that.
I'd feel like I was cheating myself almost if that makes sense?
Yep, that's where I am too. I refuse to call it APL until it's blindingly obvious that I'm there, with curls, and my chin pointing down at least a little!Quote:
