I started to take care of my hair just about three months ago and I already see a dramatically huuuge difference!
I am currently VERY layered, because of severe breakage I assume. The longest tips of my hair is about an inch away from APL, but my shortest strands only reaches down to eye-length. I hate that. If it werent for all of the layering I guess I would be pretty happy with the length at this moment, but now my hairstyle makes me feel like atleast 30 years older then I am.
I will not cut my layers away though, I'm just longing for some length at the moment, maybe I'll cut away the layers in a couple of years.
Soo, I am not really UBL since a lot of my hair is far above my shoulders, but I guess this is the right thread for me anyway!
Welcome, Milk. I agree, the longest layers decide the length :agree: Happy growing!Quote:

So this is the thread for me, at least for now. :)Quote:

I think when I get maybe BSL I'll try growing the layers out and see what happens. Anyway, welcome!Quote:

Thank you all for greeting me welcome! :)
Yeah, I totally get your point, I have a semi-fro so my hair is very coarse as well. But when I think back at my hair on how it looked when i didn't had any layers in it, I prefered that look a thousand times over this, even though it could look a bit triangular.Quote:

I'm on the long APL side too. APL for me will be 23 inches.Quote:

Oh yeah, I also broke my vow not to measure or take pics of my length until the end of this month *sigh*
Do you think I should stop damp-bunning my hair? Damp-bunning was my attempt to "straighten" it in an attempt to look more "professional" ... but now I'm not so sure if that was working. It always looks wonky when I damp-bun it.
Here it is at the end of the day after I air-dried it loose:
