Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I'm going out of my mind!!! I'm just past shoulder length, and I can push my hair behind my shoulders and it will stay there. My problem is the back. It looks like c@@p. I've got long layers and the bottom 3 inches of my hair look see through. This is the length I usually whip off a couple of inches. (When I'm not growing it). When I had it this lenght or longer in the past I used a heated wand to wave it and it looked nice. I don't want to do that though now obviously.
I have also stopped drying it upside down with a hot setting, so it also looks a lot flatter than normal.
What do I do with it? I've worn it up for a few days, but I like to wear it down. Will it get better in a few inches or do I need to trim the bottom a little to grow out the layers. And if I have to do that, do I try and get to apl before I start trimming so I at least feel I am getting somewhere.
I hate this length.

I posted these on the random hair thoughts thread before noticing this thread. I know the quality of these pictures is awful but here goes.

Heey, it looks like you're allmost there! Awesome!
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I did the towel test and I'm like RIGHT on the line of APL in front when stretched, the back still has like an inch and a half [at least, according to my measuring tape.]
Hopefully the inversion method will seem to work again and I'll get another extra half inch this month!
@sarah: your hair looks so fluffy! -w-

I feel like my hair grows so slowly, but by my birthday (end of May) I want to be solid APL!
emilylightning - thanks :D
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
emilylightning - Congrats on the growth! Have you really seen a difference by using the inversion method? I keep thinking that I'll give it a shot...and then forget about it.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Im right at shoulders and obviously i need to get to APL to move on to MBL (my ultimate goal) but yeah. i notice shoulder-APL takes forreeeeevvver
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Yep, I belong here now, too! I'm past CBL wet, at CBL dry about half the time because my 1c/2a hair is rather temperamental about how much it sproings up. I've had 2b and 2cish days lately, especially when I scrunch with flaxseed gel.
So... I'm using "being able gather all my hair into a loose side ponytail" and "being able to gather all of my hair into a ponytail atop my head" as my mini-milestones. I'll probably hit both around March. APL probably won't be until August.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I'm in. Just cut out the last of the henna which took 1.5 years to grow out. Am now at collarbone.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Collarbone here too. I think I have about 4 inches to go till APL. I'm going to get dh to help me measure it tonight. Do we measure wet or dry? Stretched or unstretched?
