If I stretch it out wet the longest part in the middle back is there, but that's sorta cheating LOL

Question about measuring....do you guys put your arms on your hip to open up the armpit to see APL better? Because on me, when I open my arm, I'm at APL I assume because it raises the shoulder a little. When my arms are down and closed, I'm still an inch away (while curly, at least).http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...king/hair2.jpg

I measure with my arms down and the measuring tape under them as in your second photo. I believe that is considered the correct measurement.Quote:

Yeah, my hair is about the same distance from APL. I'm so impatient. Hehe.Quote:

gahh! I'm with those of you who are almost-almost-almost-but-not-quite at APL. *laugh*
I guess for me too, it means another month.
OH!--As for bun curls, (though the following is not a bun, lol) I I've been having good luck with a damp French rope braid; I'll either put it in at night and undo in the morning, or use it as my Day 1 hair do, and make the down-day Day 2. Actually, now that I think of it, the result is less curl, and more of a tight, deliberate wave, lol , but very...summery and purposeful looking, rather than my pellmel loopy natural waves. Yet still natural looking, oddly enough, because the pattern sizes vary, in a good way. Doesn't eat up a lot of length either, which is a huge plus for me.
For wearing it during the day (errr, in public!) I do have trouble getting it to start in the right place, so that it doesn't look like a weird tail of some sort, but that's a combo of a small dome, layers and bangs, lol. I dunno if that sounds like something you'd like; thought I'd mention it.
Hope everyone's growin' is going well!
@bondeandeebowl, I do the measuring tape thing too. It seems a fairer way to judge it.
And so many of you are so close!! I swear in a month or so I'll be here all on my own! APl to BSL is about to get crowded ;)
I'll be here with you, a good few inches still to go over here :rolleyes:Quote:
