Hopefully I hit a growth spurt this spring! :meditate:
I'm hoping for the same. I'm sure I read that sunlight boosts hair growth? :pray:Quote:

You're welcome 😊. Yes we will! XQuote:

Hello everyone!
I have not been very active on the forums for a long time, mostly because I cut my hair and ended up having a lot of other things to think about. I still have no clue what I want with my hair, but I know that I want it longer than now, so I will be growing it out again, this time slower and more thought through than last time.
I don't regret cutting my hair, I had forgotten about some of the issues I had with short hair, which I now will remember. It also filled my need of having it short for a while, I did like it for the first 3-4 months, which is an indicator of that it was the right choice at the time (else I bet I would have regretted it right away).
My hair just touch the shoulders now, about the length it was when I first joined these forums (maybe a few cm longer than it was). I will be aiming at getting it all to one length before I start growing it out for real, will be microtrimming away the bangs and layers, both of which I had to deal with last time I grew it out. I feel that one-length would be easier to maintain healthy and split-free when growing.
I will probably start microtrimming once I hit collarbone length to get rid of the layers slowly and hopefully have it all removed till when I hit apl, after that... well, as I said: I don't know what i want, but longer hair, ooooh yes :bluebiggr
Last time I think it took around 6 months to hit apl from this length, I will probably need a full year now, maybe more, unless I let it grow past apl while I still have some layers (which might happen since I know how tough it gets to cut it all one length at such a "short" length).
I should stop talking and come to the point, I'm happy to be back!

So I finally remembered to ask DBF to snap a pic of my hair from the back and it didn't look quite the way I expected!
On the plus side: I thought my hemline was far more uneven! I'm pleased to see that the back isn't 1-2" shorter, as I expected as I'm growing out an inverted lob - though it still feels shorter as I run my hands through it?? Odd.
On the down side: I thought I was a tad closer to APL than this. Though my hair doesn't usually do such a flick at the ends (I don't think?). Is it unreasonable to think it might be at proper APL in 6-8 weeks? I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Looks maybe an inch away? I'd say eight weeks is fair. I'm looking at 6 months I think.Quote:
