Welcome to the group. We don't bite.
Welcome all newbies to this thread. :waving: Glad to have you onboard with us on our journey towards APL.
Hi to all you preAPL people :) I'm a newbie and joining in. My hair is about 1-2 inches away from APL (it kind of touches the towel when my hair is wet!) I think I would be closer if it wasn't for a small trim to get rid of the reverse V-shape in the back my hair was growing in. It's nice and even now. I shall post pictures when I figure out how to. All my life my hair has been short, SL being the longest (which is when my hair was always damaged an wispy) so I am thrilled to see that my fine hair can actually grow and be thick and healthy:) Happy and rapid growing everyone!
I made it! I honestly never thought I would, this is the longest my hair has ever been (22.5") :D I used to think I couldn't grow much past shoulder but I have real hope now that my hair can grow really long. It's taken me 14 months but that's with a lot of trims and a lot of breakage (from bleach damage) so I'm pretty happy with that. I had 5.5" from SL to APL and another 5.5" ffrom APL to BSL.
First photo is my official APL picture, the second will be the first picture on my way to BSL. And just for fun the third one is my length picture from July last year. It's not as uneven as it looks, I have lots of layers and they weren't cooperating :lol:

Good luck to everyone, I'll keep popping back to see how you're all getting on. I don't post on here as often as I'd like but trut me when I say you've all been a huge help and inspiration.
Good
yay for you! I'll be right behind you with any luck!
New shoulder length here. I chopped my hair from waist length to shoulder due to damage. I am trying to grow out to tail bone length, but first stop will be APL. Wish me luck !
I need them. My hair feels longer but doesn't look any longer. Stupid curls keep eating my growth -.-
Congrats, palaeoqueen! Your hair is looking amazing. I've been lurking here for ages & it's always so exciting to see how much progress people are making & how great their hair is doing.
In my own hair journey, I'm still hanging out just past shoulder since every time I manage to get further, I have to trim back due to bleach damage. But, after many years of bleaching my hair out to do crazy colours, I've decided to quit bleach cold turkey & grow my virgin hair out. I've made it four months & two inches so far, which is longer than I usually make it. I'll probably be hanging out here quite a while, since I've got a lot of trimming to due to get rid of damage & breakage induced taper, but I'm super excited to have actually healthy hair & get to see my natural hair colour for the first time in eleven years!
Quitting the dye/bleach is tough but generally worth it. Besides Manic Panic has colors which will still show on most hair colors without bleaching. Maybe not as brightly but I know I have liked the hints of color in the past. One of these days I really will put the hot hot pink that I bought on my head. Eventually, maybe after my dad and step mom leave. I keep pushing it back though.
