I have 3.5 inches to go until APL, so hopefully I will also be moving onto the APL-BSL thread at the start of the year :) i'm giving myself 8months on average growth to reach APL, if i'm still not there I think I will cry :p
It's frustrating because I know once I hit APL, I can make Waist in a year.
really? how tall are you?Quote:

Rrrrrrrreeeeeeaaaalllly now? APL to waist in a year?! I wish! :eyebrows:Quote:

After that, I think it'll still be a long way to BSL I think. I'm thinking at least a couple of years to waist!
This thread has been slow lately! I cry :(
Anyway, I think I can officially say that my hair is at 19 inches, and APL is about 21 for me, maybe a little over. I think at the rate my hair has been growing I will hit the very tip of APL by August. My old bangs are just about an inch passed chin, but the rest of the front is just about as long as the back.
I had long hair my entire life until about five years ago when I hacked it all off. I remember i would cut six inches off when it would get too long and crazy, but it would grow back literally in no time. I'm hoping this is the case once I hit APL!
Pixiestar, your hair is so pretty and straight! I'm so jealous! Mine likes to flip all over the place, making it seem like it's growing ever so slowly :mad:
Ooo and alyanna I am 5ft3 I think. But my measurements are APL - 21.5inches, BSL - 25inches, Waist - 28inches if my friend measured correctly. (over head and down the back)
I'm hopeful to reach waist in a year from APL, I remember last time I grew my hair after APL it was all quick and smooth sailing so I would be pleased if it did it again especially now there is no hair dye and heat styling involved.
Even if I only got 6inches average growth a year then I'd be pretty close to waist which is good enough for me! I don't start to feel like my hair is long until I can see it hanging over my shoulders.
A couple of years will be here before you know it and it may not even take that long :) power of positive thinking ;)
oh, I see, kitty. you are shorter than I am. Even someone with my hight could make it in a year from apl to waist with a little more than average growth rates per year.
btw: I'm 5ft9
Oooh, good idea. I am at 20" and dh measured BSL to be 24". So much sooner than I thought!!!! January or February!

So I'm actually not doing too bad in terms of shoulder to APL and I do agree that this may be a slower journey than APL to BSL. May cuz the layers and maybe cuz it's almost like going from short to "long" by mainstream standards.Quote:

P.S. I'm thinking of doing a cassia treatment soon. It might make me feel better about my hair. I used to be a henna freak from about 13 years old to 17, I hennad all the time. Never tried cassia though. I don't want red hair this time (at least not yet) but cassia would be fun.
Hair grow grow:(
You know I always thought my hair grew fast, but it seems so slow:( Maybe its just because I want it to hurry up and get to apl. I will feel more like I'm getting somewhere then:)
