The towel test is rather erratic, unless it's placed in a straight line between armpit to armpit. Hers is lying in a slight U-shape which makes the goal look further away when it really isn't.
I guess I should show you pictures of myself doing the towel test in different ways (and showing how very different results one can get with this method, even if you have the towel around the armpits), but I don't have DBF to help me with taking pictures right now. :p
I personally think you can call your milestones wherever you see fit (within reason), as it's only yourself you're cheating.
Within reason = within an inch or so, otherwise you're potentially giving other people unrealistic expectations of where they might be in x amount of time.
I agree with you. It's quite hard to determine exactly when you reach a milestone anyway, and it's not like the police will give you a visit if you claim APL when it's really 0.5 cm left. ;)Quote:

I love the idea of LHC police, actually!
***Knock knock*** excuse me madam, we have reason to believe you are operating a HAIR DRYER on these premises.
***Knock knock*** ma'am, I believe those are extensions? Please remove them immediately.
***Knock knock*** APL you say? Ah, we have a comedian here...
:laugh: They would never have any rest, those poor souls!
I already feel like a LHC police at times, telling people what they ought to do with their hair troubles and giving them tons of tips. I guess that's what inevitably happens when you spend most of your spare time on this here site. :graduate:
By the way, your hair colour looks lovely in your latest measurement picture (rather like my avatar). =O I wish mine were that light!
Thanks guys, had a good time reading through your replies. I think I'm gonna give it another month to be sure haha. Honestly without this forum I probably would have not even gotten this far, so many tips and encouragement.
Most of my shortest layers have now reached shoulder. Hooooraayyyyy
Thanks wosie! It seems to vary a lot, same camera same lightbulb- I am trying to learn to correct the colour manually but it's tricky :)
So i took a picture of my hair tonight, just to see how it looks, because it looked like i had some sort of wave pattern going on. I looked at it and i was really surprised. I brushed my hair to make it straighter and took a picture again with different shirt. Aand. Yep. It looks like I am one month away from APL and two months away from solid APL. That really made my evening. Here is a proof. Black line shows where APL is on me :)
