Shoulder | Armpit

@ Louise 148:

It's adorable!

Well done, Nique & Louise! Love how active this thread has been -- lots of progress!

I am almost almost almost to shoulder, so I'm coming over here. Hopefully I'll have a solid curly shoulder at the end of the summer, so is APL by the end of the year to quick to expect? It doesn't seem like all that much length to me.

It seems to be taking forever to get to APL for me but depending on your growth rate and the length between shoulder to APL it not be a long journy for you. My hair keeps stalling out so at the beginning of the year I was hopeful about APL by June, now I am thinking more like October. Granted I had some serious growth spurts in summer so I guess only time will tell.

Louise 148; that braid is so cute! I seem to be a bit on the slow side when it comes to french braids, I have only done one successful one ever!

So nice to se everyone growing an chatting here! :-)

A childhood friend taught me to do a frech braid at the back of my own head when we were kids. Although this is the only style I can manage. I have tried to start them at the front, as I would love to have one either side front to back, but my coordination goes awry and they end up a tangled mess. :confused:

I'm about halfway between shoulder and APL, from what I can guess by peering over my shoulder I think I'm about three inches away from APL :)

Hi PossibleMermaid :waving: Congrats on nearly shoulder! I suppose whether or not you will make it to APL by 2014 will depend on how fast your hair grows, how tall you are (how far apart the length markers are on you) and how curly your hair is. I think I am a 3a and I have noticed that the more length I get, the more my hair curls and it almost seems to be shrinking. There is an APL by Christmas thread, which I joined but am not sure that I'll make it:

I think shoulder to APL is usually about a year on most people, of course it depends on your body proportions and growth rate :)

I checked myself out today, and I'm calling it. I am officially at APL.
