Shoulder | Armpit

I tried a low braid last night but sadly, it wouldn't hold. I am able to loosely french braid but with a thousand pins, lol.
So, have any of you embraced the annoyances of SL-APL? WHen I have grown out before, this length drove me batty so I am trying a new approach. WHenever I get neck tickles, I try to think, "hey, my hair is long enough to tickle me and now I can pin it up".

So, I trimmed the other night, about 1/4 an inch to 1/2 an inch at most and I took some pictures around midnight after work in my room with bad lighting on my camera :P But it shows the length, is this APL?

I'd say so! I just reached APL im so happy!

I believe I am at APL now!

Hm, I want to be APL+ :( I'll wait and stick around here awhile. I would like to start learning/practicing braiding! I can only do an english braid and I don't like how it looks on my hair.

Oh my god, i have been lurking in this forum for so long... and today i finally got my membership acceptet!
Im somewhat between shoulder and collarbone and it takes forever, it feels like ive been stuck herer for years (mainly because i haven´t had the patience to grow out my hair past this stage the last few years and always cut/shaved it it of again.)

Hello frogs! Another Swede, that's cool! Some of the nicest folks here are Swedes!

haha, thank you, i guess! :)

I'm trying to remember that it's fairly easy to wear my hair down at this length versus some longer lengths. It doesn't help that my hair fluffs out a lot, though.

An English braid is totally out, and I don't have the patience to French braid. I can finally do a peacock twist with a claw clip that stays very reliably. That is now my go-to style. Plus, there's always the option of a ponytail.

This might be a stupid question and it might be answered before in this thread and if that is the case - my apologies! But i was wondering, how do you wear your hair at night, while sleeping? Which way does you hair take the least damage- in a braid or silk scarf or just loose?
