Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Yaay I'm so glad I found this thread. I need to take a picture and remeasure my hair as I think I am getting quite close to APL.
This is such an awkward length though b/c I always have those little pieces that fall out of up-dos and I am growing my bangs out and they love to fall in my face.
I am only getting a dusting right before the new year (still have some indigo on my ends) and then I am commiting ot a whole year of no trimming!
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Oooh I forgot to ask, have any of you treated yourself to you first long hair toy? I am getting some hair sticks made. I would like a fork but I think I will wait until I am a bit longer.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I'm just past shoulder length. My hair is quite curly/wavey so I'm probably closer to APL than I think. I never remember to check when my hair is wet.
I have an awful lot of layers to grow out. Some of my layers are at chin length, some are shoulder and some are past the shoulder :(

:waving:
I finally stopped lurking and this is definitely The Thread For Me!
My hair is currently at collarbone length, there's maybe about five centimetres before reaching APL.
Might reach it at july but not sure. I've been trimming regularly since started growing at chinlength because my hair went through a LOT (dreads, opening them, a few bleaches... I need not say more :cool:).
My virgin growth is down to my earlopes and I have to keep trimming before all the bad hair is 'gone, it's a bit frustrating because the bottom layers are already healthy and wouldn't need any trimming but the top layers have so much breakage that it's pretty horrible...
It will be interesting to follow the journey of all you guys to APL, glad to be a part of it :flowers:
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I guess I semi-officially belong here. I should be at APL in a year to a year-and-a-half, I would guess, depending on how much shrinkage I have. By then, my hair should be about waist/lower mid back region pulled straight.
Right now, my hair hovers between shoulder and mid-neck, depending on the day and whims of the gods.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
This is definitely the thread for me. In the back, I am 18.25 inches. I have about 2-3 inches to go before I reach APL. In the front I am just about CBL 2 more inches and I will be there. I have some long bangs at chin right now but they are growing fabulously. Right now, I have mini goals of 2 inches at a time so when I get to 20 inches I suppose I will be APL in the back. I only measure my hair dry since that is how I wear my hair.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
this is also my thread, i am 26 inches, but with my curls and length still at shoulder when not stretched. stretched i am apl though.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I am so exited! I was able to put up my hair in a Gibson Tuck this morning :cheese:
There is just this one small strand of hair in the nape of my neck which is still a little to short and did not want to stay put. Although I don't like to use hair spray I had to to make it stay. I'm off work next week and will try to post some pictures.
