I'm checking in here, I'm about an inch and a half past SL. I have some layers in so I can't quite get sticks in yet. I used to have about waist length so I know what I'm missing :(
I'm trying to get my 2 year old daughter to let me do her hair (and keep it done), her's is APL.
This is how you measure it, with pics: https://sites.google.com/site/habiok...ir-measurementQuote:

Ugh, I'm still about 2 in until APL. This is taking way too long!
Anyway, I can't stand to have it loose since it kinks weirdly on my shoulders, so I try English, French and Dutch braids. It keeps it out of my mind.
Sigh. I'm still quite a few inches away from APL (I still need to measure my current length *avid procrastinator*). Just cut my hair from BSL to a little above SL in March. So far, growth has been pretty slow, but I'm optimistic! I just miss all the curls I had when I had longer hair. For some reason, after I cut my hair, I went from waves and curls to slight waves and mostly straight hair.

Seriously, once your hair is a few inches longer it'll stay down your back.
Bahahaha. Yeah, right. My stupid hair won't keep flipping up! :rolleyes:Quote:

I'm not planning to chop any off until I hit waist, so it'll probably be at least a year until my hair is back to it's natural state, and without the stick straight part weighing it down. Weird.
I have more to go than I thought after doing the towel test :(
Wish there were miracles to make hair grow lol
There are things that help some people, but they're not answers across the board, you know? Like for me, I have trouble synthesizing biotin so supplementing helps. It won't everybody. Same for protein powder. That will help some, if they need it.
I did an infinity bun for the first time today. It was easy-I was suprised. It's not gorgeous, but I'll focus more an the aesthetics next time. :)

Congratulations on the infinity bun! It will be nice when I can do more hairstyles. At least if I am not happy with the length, I am so pleased about the condition of my hair. Just have to continue on and be patient.
I'm APL now!
