When DH took the photos this weekend, I realized that I'm not quite ready to call it APL. My longest hairs reach the towel, but I definitely don't have full coverage yet. Will check in at the end of this month.Quote:

That's very patient of you, oatmealpie. I think it's so easy to want to progress, and call it a certain length too early, then the next milestone takes ages! I definitely did that with shoulder length. At the end of the day it's just a description, the actual length of one's hair is the same.
On a positive note, we get to enjoy your company for a little while longer, oatmeal pie! :blossom:Quote:

I managed to do a good enough version of the Boho twist, but each photo I took was a fail. I needed to position my head and the camera at a specific angle, but it just. didn't. happen. :ponder:
So.....I put my hair in a very loose braid, tucked the tiny little tassle wannabe under and secured it with a small flexi 8. Very doable at shoulder length.

As of my measurement today, my hair is 19.5 inches long. It collarbone length of a grown out pixi, so the last 3 inches or so are layered.
But I was able to do this! And show off my olive wood Grahtoe mermaid. I still need one bobby pin to hold up the stragglers, I think that should be a thing of the past by July :happydance:

Congratulations on the updo and also the beautiful fork :thud:
luluj that updo was made for your texture! On me it just looks like a saggy mess, on you it's soft and lovely
Oh my, Quasiquixotic that is such a lovely up-do!
Your gorgeous Grahtoe Mermaid is the perfect stick for the up-do, simply beautiful. Congratulations on being able to make it happen.:hollie:
Wow, luluj, that flexi of yours is a stunner... :thud: Is it a custom? I've never seen it before, but it looks very similar to my large https://secure.lillarose.biz/MemberT...atalogueID=204 flexi. :) (I hope the link works for you.)
Two_wheels and Luluj thank you!
Luluj I love your updo! It's so romantic and soft. And I love your color. I did henna once and decided I'm not going to again because I want to see my grays when they come in!
That's partly why I quit henndigo! That and the roots.... Ugh.... The roots! I only have one or two right now but looking at the lovely "renegrays" on here has made me much happier with the idea of staying natural when they multiply.Quote:
