Great growth and see you in the next thread, Elfa!
Congratulations, Elfa! :happydance:
This has reminded me I need to find a way to take proper length shots - I love seeing when other people are making progress and it'd be great to be able to do the same.
Me too. I'd like to take length shots at every milestone so I can look back if I ever wish to cut short, although thats highly doubtful.Quote:

Welcome and happy growing! I wish I could neglect my hair more, but I touch it a lot for various reasons. Once I can put it up fully I'm sure that'll stop! Darn me cutting my front a bit too much shorter than my back :laugh: Although when stretched it's almost CBL in front, the illusion of it being much much shorter is just because it curls up on my shoulders as it dries LOLQuote:

And it does! It no longer looks like a bun or anything, but of course not it's tiny lol. Some nape hairs dropped out, but they can't really reach anyway.
This clip is so nice and comfy. I love it so much.
Hey! I'm new to LHC :). My hair is just 1-2 inches shy of APL and I'm so excited! My hair has never been longer than APL because I would get aggravated with this length. It's not long hair, but it's not a hairstyle like a bob. It's just blah. I've cut my hair 2x times at this length but no more! I am determined to have hair all the way down my back :heartbeat. Hang in there everyone!

Good luck!! APL to BSL is an awkward stage for me as well, and I tend to cut it the most then. Once I made it (apparently) to almost waist, but since I had terrible hair care and couldn't do more than ponytail it or poorly cinnabun with pins (no forks! no sticks! not even a CLAW CLIP which I lived for in high school) I wanted it gone. I'm more determined now, and instead of getting there via neglect (not even benign neglect, since I was just ignoring it), I plan to get there with some extra care on top of benign neglect.Quote:
