I'm another who will be here for a while, I was hoping for APL by 2013 but I think next Easter might be more likely. My hair is marginally on the faster side of average growth (so far anyway!) but I'm tall with a long torso and shoulder to APL is a vast expanse on me :lol:
Currently I have good news and bad news.
The good news is that the hair seems to be filling back in where all the peroxide on the scalp had killed it :happydance: (Yay, bodily self repair systems overcoming human stupidity) :cheese:
The bad news is that I now have a ton of babyhairs and the thickening of my ponytail makes up-dos hard :(
Yay for your good news! As to the bad news, just think how lovely it will be when it's long and thick and swooshing about behind you as you walk :DQuote:

I'm right there with ya with the Christmas thing. I was hoping for Halloween, but not sure my hair growth is as fast as I am hoping it is. And believe me, that bun is puffed way out to compensate for the bigness of the fork, not sure I could quite duplicate that look again soon.Quote:

So I'm wearing my hair up and not measuring until Christmas morning/new years eve. I think the best present I can give myself is a combination of apl and my sanity.
Oh, and I forgot to say that my hair is thick enough/heavy enough to break things. My mom got me three hairsticks while she was on vacation. When she got back I was trying to prove that I could make a Ms. El knot. The knot held all through dinner. We were lounging around watching movies when I heard this big snap! and my hair fell all around my shoulders. The stick broke clean in half!
I'm abandoning the thread, lovely people! Hope to see you soon on the next milestone.
Congrats lundmir!Quote:

Slowly making my way to curly APL hair.
Today I had a pleasant surprise. I saw my hair in the elevator mirror and realized that my hair had to split in order to lie correctly, with some in front of my shoulder and some behind.
Slow but steady wins the race.
