I am only getting a dusting right before the new year (still have some indigo on my ends) and then I am commiting ot a whole year of no trimming!

Lilliylonghair, I'm so with you. No trimming/cutting in 2010! That's the only way I will reach APL by this time next year (especially because I have wavy/curly hair)

Isn't that frustrating?! I have the same problem... do you mesure your hair pulled? It doesn't feel acurate, but mesuring it curled is absolutelly impossible!
I love my curls (in good days), but wen it starts to dry and shrink I just wish it was straight:s

I just cut off a few inches today, so I could have a blunt and thicker hemline. I had a lot of damage so I'm not really regretting it, but it is still frustrating to have cut off several months worth of growth...

I bought three Flexis...does that count? They could be used with shorter hair, too, I suppose. I really want to get some hair sticks.

That has got to be frustrating but you know... *kicking dirt around* Long, natural curly hair is so gorgeous IMO! I know the curls eat up the length but long beautiful curls are like HEAVEN to look at! :D

I *will* never have that though.

I figure for me there is no realy point to trimming. I don't blow dry anymore.The only time I do is if it's really cold out and I have to go out before my hair dries. I don't have any problems with splits,so I might as well see what happens!

Oooh I have really been wanting to try flexis! But I am currently commissioning some custom sticks.So flexis are out for now.

Bumping this thread...

How's everyone doing?

I'm growing out one of those angled bobs, the one where the front layers are longer than the back layers. I haven't cut them off to even things up yet. I think I'll save that for when my hair is MUCH longer!

So measuring the shortest area (in the back) I measure in at 18". It's not bothering me too much, because at least it is long enough and fine enough to twist it into braids and half up buns. I recently got some new hair forks, and I LOVE them! Sticks seem to be a little trickier to keep in... maybe it's my length? Has anyone else dealt with this?

I'm about 1 1/2 to 2 inches away from APL. I've been wearing my hair up every day in the hopes that one day, when I take it down, it will "magically" be at APL (or preferably BSL or longer). My guess is that I'll reach APL by summer and BSL toward the end of the year. I. Can't. Wait!!!
