When measuring APL, do we do it from the back or from the front? On my body, from the back APL comes sooner than from the front.

lilli, it's all measured from the back :)

Most people around here measure from the back. I'll be at APL sooner in the back too...although I don't measure or take length pictures, so I might not realize I'm there until it's APL in the front.

I think most people here measure from the back but you could do either if it suited you. Many people consider the back measurement as the major milestone and the front measurement as a mini-milestone.

Well, I will be at back APL sooner, maybe in 2 months or so, but front will take about 4 months, I think. Must be the big boobs that make front take longer! :D

Omg I checked my hair again and it's officially APL when dry!! \o/ oh my, I'm happy now!

I'm off to "apl to bsl" thread, see you there!! :)

Hello, this is exactly my thread! I've been at SL for about 6 months now, because I've been trimming off bleach and heat-damaged ends. Most of that has gone now, so its no more trims until APL for me and hopefully some more length! I'm also frustratingly growing out layers and my fringe/bangs. My longest layer is at chin-length, but I really want one-length, blunt-cut hair when it's longer. :)

I am in the same boat and so are several others on this thread. My shortest layer is my used-to-be fringe that now juuust touches my upper lip. My hair in the front gradually goes to shoulder. In the back I've got a couple of long layers, but it's pretty close to being even.

It sucks having these layers because they take away from the thickness of your hemline and it's hard to do any fancy updos or braids.

On the plus side, and yes, I believe there is a plus side, you'll have some pretty face-framing action as you grow out the awkward stage that we're now at. I think I'd look weird with a perfectly blunt, shoulder length cut. I'd have that pyramid shape that many wurlies/curlies get :rolleyes:

I second that! Although I've come to embrace my layers lately. They look nice when I wear my hair down. Lets see, what the hairdresser says next week.

I'm dealing with bleach and heat damage too. I trimmed away at least 3inches last year. I dont want to be in the SL-APL zone for another year, so this year I’m just letting it grow.
