In a year.
I don't even know how far away APL is but if I get there this year it'll be a miracle! :rolleyes:
I definitely agree, growth does seem to slow as I get older:(
I'm growing out a graduated chin length bob which I had cut in Nov last year. Not trims since:) This was taken on 2nd july.

I'm in the no trims 2011 challenge, so first thing on 1st jan I'm going to self trim either a straight hemline to even out the length or if it seems long enough try a slight U hemline:D

Castor oil really helps speed my growth, have you girls tried it? :)
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I cut my hair into a long bob (almost touching collarbone) this year in beginning of March as I wanted to dye it really light blond and my ends couldn't handle the damage.
So I guess I've grown from that to almost APL.
It's more obvious in the fringe area which was a blunt fringe at eyebrow level and is now almost chin.
The thing is, my hair grows much much faster in the warmer months so I need to make the most of this time of the year before I hit my winter stall.
Anyone else growing faster in the summer?
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I've thought about castor oil, and looked for it once at Walmart, but I didn't find it (sales associate had no idea what castor oil was) and haven't looked since. I do tend to grow fast in the warm months, but maybe when winter comes back around I'll look again.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
You can buy castor oil at the drugstore.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I'd like to try castor oil some time!
My hair has grown very fast in the winter, but these past few months have been rather slow, strangely :S could it be because I ate more fat and proteïn in the winter? :S
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Anyone know where to get Caster Oil in England? I'll give it a try.
I grow faster usually around christmas instead due to a better diet. The summer months don't give me a growth spurt.

I found it an absolute NIGHTMARE to locate. Nowhere seemed to have it. I ended it getting it from amazon.

I bought some castor oil from a local chemist, I just asked an she had it behind the counter, it was really cheap but after 3-4 times of using a bit I gave up as it left me with awful build up I had to clarify, and I hate having to go all heavy duty and clarify :(
I find MN does work but I Have to remember to do it every wash for weeks and I'm always in the gym so I forget :rolleyes:

I am SO not diligent about it, but I love it when I remember! I like to use the formula that Princessp uses. It's not quite so gloppy for me and easier to get out. It's here on her blog.
Lianna - how do you apply your castor oil?
I just started with rooibos tea sprays. I don't know about growth because I've only been doing it a couple of days - but WOW it makes my hair soft anyway! :)
Good growth everyone - I know we feel stuck, but there are so many of you so close to APL!! (I'm definitely not one of them though!)
