ETA: i just looked at your album! You have gorgeous hair! Now I know what you mean about your hair texture. Yay nice to meet a fellow wurly!
Thanks! Yeah, my hair type in my profile is based on longer length after washing and air-drying without touching. However, my wurls don't take too much convincing to turn almost straight when being put in an updo or finger combed while drying.

Omg! I can't wait either! What do you plan to do once you reach APL? Do you plan to stay here until you reach a solid APL? Or move on to the APL to BSL thread? For me, I have mixed feelings about this. I don't know if I should wait until my bangs reach APL or if it is right to move on to the next thread once the back hairs touches APL. I know that there are some people staying here that have APL because they want to grow out layers to fully claim APL. What do you think?:confused:

I plan to chop off ~1" of damage :( I'll be here a while yet!
ETA: I guess it's not so bad, it'll even out my layers a bit I suppose, and I'll have to do that eventually. Yay for silver linings!

Yay! :D I'd give it another half an inch or so for solid APL, I think. Another month or two.

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Ok here is my length update (I do believe it is my first contribution). I didn't use a towel but I did draw a line to mark APL. It's not my best hair day ever but here it is, about two inches away from APL.

Here is my latest length photo. My hair is wet from just getting out of the shower. I drew a line where APL is

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
thank you :) My tattoo is a great measuring tattoo for APL. When it to his mouth is will very solidly be APL :) I've got a while to go....

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Here's my pic for TTT!
http://i49.tinypic.com/11c3yqe.jpg
I'd really appreciate it if ya'll would look in my Towel Tests album and tell me how much growth you think I've gotten this month. I'm trying to figure out whether it's "meh," "average," :cool: or :cheese: and whether or not the rooibos is worth it :)
-
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
OMG! As usual Bunnysaur, I love your hair! It's been awhile since I last seen your towel test, but after looking through your album, I think you made big progress! Keep it up sweety!:disco: :applause
As far as giving you measurements, well, I'm bad at math. Honestly, I think with this pic compared to all the other pics, it's a big spurt of growth! Could it be the rooibus tea? Plus I noticed that the trims you've been making is paying off! Plus I love your hair color, I like the mixtures! I know you are trying to get back to your natural color, but I think you have a style going on!:eyebrows: ;)
Gosh I still remember when we first met in this thread, and then we did our first towel test feeling like everyone had hair to APL except for the both of us. :D. Awww so much progress in such a short amount of time!:)
-
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Okay, so still no warm water, and I washed my hair in icecold water, brrrr. Once I got used to it, it wasn't so bad actually, but I feel like it didn't rinse so well...
Since I don't have time to let my hair dry completely before going to work, I took a picture with the complete "natural" look, my newfound wurls...
http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-HZ3ZAACJ.jpg
I'll try to make one, with towel, this evening when the wurls are dropping down and my length is better ;)

I hope it's the tea! a few days ago, I got a jug of aloe juice, and I've added it to my tea. So. Freakin'. Soft. :D I'm glad my hair looks like somewhat of a style. I've been feeling like it's just a shapeless curtain lately :p
I haven't made a trim in over two months, when I trimmed off the little rat tail I was getting. What you talkin' bout, rowie?! :confused:
I did just get a pair of hair scissors for when I get to APL and can happily snip off this damage. :cheese:
Your hair looks soooo much longer!!! Ahhh I'm so excited that we're all getting so much progress. I feel so much better about my hair since finding this thread!

You look like your longest layers are already there! whoooo!!! :cheese:
-
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Alright, so I was itching to try out my new scissors...
I sucked it up, and chose health over length. I put my hair in a ponytail and felt for and snipped out the nastier bits. I actually didn't lose any length! :cheese: My hair feels soooo much better, and my hemline actually looks a little thicker because the ends aren't sticking together anymore. :D
-
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I think that shoulder to APL is another transition phase, because when you get to shoulder, you feel that you are right around the corner to your hair finally reaching your back and being long. I know once I reach that stage, I will think that way, but it still is probably about 5-6 inches before it reaches APL (approx 10 months)

Omg, I'm glad it sounds like it went alright. I agree with you, it's better to do it now then later! I think I was confused because it might of been a while back that you had mentioned trimming so I had guessed you were doing micro trims along the way to even up your hemline, because the picture you just showed looks like the layers are becoming less and heading towards the blunt look.:D
Oooh too bad I can't try aloe since i'm kinda allergic to it (it makes my skin turn red). :( I'll definitely get some rooibus when I go to the grocery. Well, it's off to bed for me! Hopefully we'll see Daniverde's result tomorrow. Nighty night!

Nope. I just have A LOT of fairly thick hair :p
Too bad about the aloe :( I don't think it does anything to encourage growth, and rooibos makes my hair super soft on its own. Goodnight! :)

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Hooray for Towel Tuesdays so I can actually keep track of my growth. It looks like I'm about an inch from APL. My braid is also getting a little longer, too.

I'm sure there are experts in here that can imagine my length if I were to straighten out my hair (which i'll never ever do!).[...]
P.S I'll share my latest hairstyle technique i'm experimenting tomorrow, just so that we can just focus on everyone's test!
I love your waves! *smile* You've about as close to APL as I am maybe we can make it there together lol.

I'm not sure I can officially call that shoulder yet, but I promise, in the shower with water running through it, it does hit my shoulders! It just flips up like crazy at the ends. Also my towel was slipping on one side, but I guess that doesn't matter too much yet.[...]
The hair is covering your neck that's when I called it shoulder because I figured that when the neck ends the shoulders begin. :D

Thank you! *big smile* Yes I am in this thread still and again because I chopped off all my layers in November 2011 (I lost about 10 inches total). I would have been at waist length by now if I hadn't done that, but I really love my new hemline so the sacrifice was worth it (especially the neat looking braids).

You're at "can I call this APL" length too, another month or so and you and battles will be able to move on to the next thread. Congrats to you both. :)

I definitely see at least one inch of growth, congrats. Rooibos teas worked for me too but be careful because it can mess with your period.

You're past APL at your longest layer, are you waiting for the other layers to catch up? Very cool waves by the way. :D

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Wow, so much has happened since i last checked on here :D all of your pictures look very amazing and i'll try to upload a picture as soon as i figure out why they won't upload to my album :confused:. (i'm trying to upload it from my dropbox folder to the album, could that be the problem?)
Anyway, my interview went awesome, they hired me right away so i start at the end of may somewhere :)
I'll talk to you all soon!

You're not the only on with that problem (Problem with uploading pictures thread). And you can always use photobucket or flickr or something like that to post photos on threads if you want to share. :D

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
My first post at LHC! Anyways, here is my towel test. Anyways, my hair is super thick and wavy. I know the ends look terrible, but I wear my hair up practically everyday so it doesn't really matter to me at this point. :)
http://i45.tinypic.com/b66kw9.jpg
I swear, my hair grows slower than anyone I know. I got a short bob (above chin length) two years ago and this is how much it's grown (I've only had two little trims since). I'm hoping that my growth rate was from straightening and not taking care of my hair, not genetics. I'm taking biotin, folic acid and doing MN treatments, so I guess we will see soon!
-
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Loving the growth this month, everyone! Yay :) :) :)
Can't do my TTT yet since my laptop is borked, but I have gained half an inch in the past two weeks!
Eager to take/upload my progress, hopefully there is a visible difference.

Thanks Roscata for tallying up the results for yesterdays results! I like how you paired us up with similar length partners based on the results! Yay:D It's comforting to know that maybe someone will be able to someday move on with me to the next thread, cause it would be hard to leave this thread all by myself since I've grown fond of many of you on here!:heartbeat

I'm so glad your interview went well! Yay:beerchug: Don't worry about the uploading. For some reason I'm also having one heck of a time trying to start another album in my profile. Hmmm I wonder if the LHC servers are going crazy right now.

Awesome results! I am with you on wearing hair up. I've been playing around with toys and experimenting ways to wear hair up. Maybe we can share some ideas later on. I'll try to post a technique i've been playing around with soon as the towel test is over or when this thread gets slow again. :D

The only time my hair loosens up is when I use cones. I sometimes use Pantene when I want to control my hair on really humid days. :p

Whenever you feel ready ravenheather! Or you can wait for more growth and shoot for our next towel test, which I believe is the first Thursday of June. I can't wait to see your custom fork. Kimi is so fun to work with! :D I've also been thinking about holly material, but I think I'll wait and order it as a milestone present once I reach APL. I also bought the BE Maple Antler forks in addition to my custom fork. How long does her shipping take, or how long did it take you to receive your first fork? It looks like she sent mine via USPS.

I'm on the pill, and I take it in a way that gives me a period ~every 3 months. I don't worry too much about the rooibos screwing me up any more than that :p

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Okay, my hair has dried and I did a new toweltest. I think I have growth, but I guess it's not much... Longest layers reach the towel, but the shortest one needs to get a little longer before I leave you all :D
http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-H7FDGMTP.jpg
http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-3W4W7T33.jpg
I'm starting to like my waves though, they're not making life easier for me :o, but I do like some movement in my hair...
This is my hair after 3 weeks of sort of Curly Girl Method
