Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Hi! I should be at APL right now if I hadn't cut twice last year. I got rid of all my bleach damage, so while I don't have virgin hair, I do have healthy, bleached henna hair.
I've been at shoulder length for a while now, but just finished reading the whole thread... It helped pass the looong time it takes to get out of this awkward stage.
I have above average growth, almost an inch a month, but I'll remain in this thread for another 3 or 4 months.
I'm happy because I can actually braid my hair now, both english and french without having my layers popping out! There are only a couple of bumps on them, but it is a start.
Waist seems so far away, but I'm hoping to achieve it a lot healthier this time. And using deposit only dye and henna, so it won't get over processed again.

I wish I had a good solution but you seem to be doing right thing: stimulating the scalp, increasing blood flow, reliving tension... all the good stuff!
Supposedly she's thisclose from being fired, and the big boss doesn't like her much either. A few of us are considering asking to not be scheduled with her, ever, and if we all do that then she's OUT.
I'm going to make DF give my a back rub tomorrow :cool: to help with some of my stress. I'm also starting Treatment Tuesday tonight (hey, it's 1AM Tuesday morning!) and oiling my scalp up tonight. Hopefully it'll help kick it back into gear and stop the stupid shedding.

I'd be at waist if I hadn't started cutting my hair to jaw length in 9th grade :p

ETA, I just bought a fork from Kimi! I'm SO excited! She is amazing to work with and if her pieces are half as awesome as she is I'm in trouble....
They are amazing. And you are in trouble.:p
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Bunnysaur, I"m sorry for the stress. Sounds like you all banding together may be something to consider. You can't lose any more hair over a nasty mcgrumpants.
I started COing on Sunday. I oiled Sat night and Co'd Sunday. Nothing yesterday (other than combing it out and oiling the ends last night.) CO'd again today and I feel like I have new hair. So smooth, the ends look beautiful without trimming, just fabulous. I'm so excited!

What conditioner are you using? I tried a vo5 shea cashmere that left my length coated. The roots were clean though. So I think there might be too much protein in that scent.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
just a John Frieda colorsafe one that I had on hand. I won't continue with it, but it was in the house, so I kept going with it. It probably has all kinds of junk in it, but my hair LOVES being off shampoo! Even though it was an SLS free shampoo.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I haven't been doing my daily rooibos tea treatments, so I'm starting the experiment over today. Hopefully it'll help with the shedding and powerhouse my hair down to a solid APL tonight :p
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
EEEKKK! My forks are finished.
First up is my holly moon fork worn by Kimmi.

I'm going to keep the action shots as motivation. I'll have a big bun one day too. LOL.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Oh Ravenheather, those are beautiful!!!
Got myself a fake Ficcare, but my hair is too thick and heavy to hold a bun with that thing... A half up will probably work, and it was on sale :-)
I also bought a nice big bluegreen flower on a very big comb, I'm very much into flowers these days. My daughters tried to confiscate it, but it's mine, all mine! :-)
I'm oiling my hair as a Tuesday treatment, and I'll wash it out tomorrow morning. Have to get up at 2:30 in the morning, early shift at work, so it will be a very quick wash...
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I love the forks, ravenheather! :inlove:
I think I'm going to hang out here until my shoulder length layers reach APL, or until the mass exodus. :p The shoulder length layers are probably why I can't do any useful buns yet at almost APL.. sigh.
Also, is anyone else signed up for the summer swap? :D
