Urg... shoulder to APL is so hard! My hair is very curly, so when wet it's very close to APL - maybe an inch off. However, my hair shrinks as it dries... and since it sits on my shoulders, it shrinks even more! I can't wait for my hair to grow long enough that it's weight pulls the curls down. Anyone else have this problem?
I'm hoping that by December I'll be solidly at APL (even when it's dry?) and maybe in a year I'll be approaching/at BSL.
Best of luck to everyone else in these hard times :P
I guess I can finally upgrade myself to this thread now ^_^ Its hard for me to use a simple measurement for my SL to APL documenting because my hair is nothing but layers right now. I think APL is so hard for me at least because all I can manage with my hair right now is a ponytail. APL seems to exotic for new hairdos ^_^ For predicting, if I am lucky, I might hit APL by December, but I think my hair stalls in winter so it might not be APL until April even. So long to go -_-;
I realised last weekend when I straightened my hair (I know its very naughty) for a wedding that it is JUST ABOUT APL :cheese:
hehehe I did a little dance in my bathroom when I saw it!
I have pretty much stopped heat styling, and no trims for about 6 months, minimal washing and no box dye and it is FINALLY starting to get there. I felt like it had stalled abit at the just past shoulder length but it is actually because it is developing a slight curl/wave pattern which makes it look abit shorter when it is dry.
I have a med school interview next month and I am going to need a trip to the HD before that to get it tidied up and looking neat and nice... I am a little bit worried that they will take too much off so I will be watching the stylist like a hawk :(
So I think when my hair is sopping wet, its juuuuuuust about APL, but once it's dry, it sproings back up to about two inches below shoulder. Oh curly hair...
Hopefully I can be solid APL by winter? Maybe?
Getting a bit antsy to move on to officially call my hair APL at this point. It's definitely there when it's soaking wet, I'm just waiting for it to make it there dry. Grow hair, grow! I'm less than an inch off, I think, so I'll probably be able to call it when I do my October 1 length pic. :cheese: Best of all, it's been starting to feel long again lately.
Last night before bed I actually noticed the length of my hair on my upper back!!!:cheese: It was soooo weird feeling it brush against my skin. (had on a tank top) It's been a long time (13-ish years) since that has happened!!!
Im in! :D
My braids are getting longer, and my hair is slowly growing, bit by bit :)
22,5" when pulled straight (which is about APL) and 20,5" when curly !! My hair is starting to feel long.
Can't wait when it's APL curly...should hit my first major milestone in October and reach my final goal of BSL in late Spring :)
My hair is technically APL if I gently pull it straight. This is going by the shortest lengths in the front, so I'm reasonably certain that if I could reach it in the back to lightly tug out the wave, the back would be at least APL if not slightly beyond.
However, as I still do not seem to have the length for hairstyles I should be able to do at APL, and my hair is about an inch or two shy when I don't pull it straight, I'm going to stay in this thread. Stupid waves.
