Haha no it doesn't.. I think? I just got a cut (at a hair salon, it had been ages!) a month ago, so it's even shorter than it was before :P But it does grow faster than I think it does, because I had hoped to reach APL by the end of the year. And here I am! It keeps surprising me, every time I try to estimate how long it will take to get to a certain length, I always get there a lot faster than I thought I would.
Very nice oktobergoud. I really like the color. :)
I'm so so close to APL. Wet my hair is there, dry and curly its 1 cm away and a few curls actually brush the towel. Kind of makes me regret my last microtrim but it was needed after the summer. I almost got a cinnabun to hold as well. I messed up and tried with a stick first rather than the ficcare, but I think I could actually make one now.
I'm 18" at shoulder length. My neck is long (tall) and it will take longer to get to APL, but thanks to the good advice here, I'll get there without trimming.
I feel like I'm almost there but nowhere close :S I decided to take a pic a month to cheer me up whenever i feel like my hair is so short and slow and annoying :S
Last month & then today's length shot have helped... I just wish I was capable of getting the mobile straight so I could get a better, non-wonky idea of the length :P

Haybop, I do see some growth when I compare the two shots.:thumbsup: You have been blessed with lovely, thick hair and once it gets even longer it will be stunning. Hang in there!:blossom:
Thank you luluj, your comment has helped :) It seems that monthly pics for comparison is the only way I can ever see any difference :S I am excited to see how my hair'll look when it's long :) That's why I started growing it after all this time ;)
@ Theia: Your hair looks great! Nice and thick. :)
I've never had hair as long as mine is now, either! (I think when I was very small, it was long? maybe?) I'm feeling quite snarky, and think the hairdresser was full of bunk. :poop: Her opinion is one lady's opinion. Don't give it too much weight. You wear your hair however you like! :p
So do I! Very nice!
FWIW: I update my siggy monthly to keep myself motivated. I don't think I'll keep it up much longer, as my hair is getting more manageable, but it really helped me get through the overgrown pixie awkwardness, if I could see that I WAS progressing. My hair grows 1/2" a month, very normal.
@stachelbeere: Can you manage updos? My hair looks like yours --when I leave it to dry naturally, and is super slippery. It's particulary rebellious if it's clean. Share any half-ups, braids, buns?
Everyone: any half-ups, braids, buns, you'd care to share? I feel stuck-in-a-rut!
I'm getting closer to APL, and just bought a fake-karre at Sally's. (I went in for purple shampoo for DD (16 yrs, WL blonde) and saw it on the twirly rack. It was SO pretty, and called me and I had to have it....) I have it stuck in a very messy bun now, but it's slipping. :justy: I wore it in a half-up this weekend, and it worked beautifully. Do any of you use hairtoys? Which are your favorites?
For half ups I usually do what I've done in my sig picture... just with different clips and things (There were some low priced ones in a 'savers' shop in the high street - I stocked up ;D) I like the plait thing you seem to ahve done in your siggy tho' :)
