Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Well, I did a length shot. Basically the very ends of my hair are brushing the crease of my armpit. I'd go ahead and call this APL, but I'm getting a trim today, so I'll be at SL+ for a while longer.
21" pre-cut. That seems to be 2 inches since June 4th. Not bad! :cheese:
So, if I get 3" off today, it should take 3-6 months to grow back.
My hair seems to be getting wider as well. I guess it's just it spreading out over my shoulders. Eventually the weight should calm it down.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Me, me! I am halfway between the base of my neck and APL. I usually end up cutting back up to above my shoulders at this lenght (and spent most of the last 20+ years in a bob). I recently switched my basic multi-vitamin to the skin-hair-nails multi from my favorite local co-op and was asked a month later (by a male co-worker, no less), what the heck was up with my hair. I was told it looked a lot longer than the day before even! Am hopeful to reach APL by the end of the year.

I've got about 3 inches to go before APL. Grow faster hair!

I'm going crazy staring at the wasteland between neck and APL aahhhh :silly:

Yes! Getting to the halfway point took FOREVER!
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
*sigh*
Yeah, I know. It's my own fault. I wanted blue hair. I knew exactly what I was doing when I bleached the ends.
I got all the green off (except for couple missed strands which I'll S&D). It's pretty much where it was in April when I started taking length shots. :shake:
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Can I join in? I think I'm only about 2 inches from APL, so I'm telling myself I'll be there by Christmas! My nasty ends will need a little trim by then though. (I'm still kicking myself for letting my mum cut my hair earlier this year before I'd measured or photographed it - I think she took off about 3 inches :( .)
By the way, can anyone direct me to a thread with some hints on how to take photos of your own hair? I've searched a bit but can't find anything that seems to help. I'm having trouble working out how to do it, and my mirrors are useless, and the light's all wrong...

Welcome :)
I'm not sure if there's a thread about taking pictures. I have a self timer on my camera. I set it to 10 seconds and set it on my dresser, then run in front of it. If you don't have that setting, you can stand with your back to a mirror and set the camera on your shoulder or on top of your head to make sure it's a good angle. Also, the flash may just make a big glare, so you might want to turn it off. If that won't work, I'm not sure how else to do it without another person.
Maybe you can buy a webcam? I bet there's free software out there to do a timed picture.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Thanks XcaliburGirl, I can see I'm just going to have to spend some more time playing with my camera (and my hair). I'll get it eventually!
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Wow, seems like I've been in this thread forever! :) I have one more inch to go - thought I'd be there by August, but it's looking more like end September now. I think this length seems the longest because of the swell of our chests - you know? it seems like it isn't getting longer because it curves up with our (ahem) bosoms - whereas it *looks* longer at the back!
