You are definitely really close!! Much closer than me. Exciting for you :D
I am excited, yes :D It's only about 4" from there to BSL on me. I think. Much less than the stupid 6" from SL to APL!
Inspecting that photo, it does seem that my hair has now reverted to growing downwards rather than outwards, so hopefully that will come for you too soon...
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I think shoulder to APL is actually my longest stretch. Everything after that is 3 inches apart..? So weird. I think I must have a short torso on top of already being short.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I have a reeeeally long torso (have to buy tops from special shops to avoid a 90s look) but a high waist, so shoulder to APL is longest for me too, battles- thanks for reminding us that milestones get closer together after this!
Waist to hip is going to be a very long time for me. I wasn't going to grow it that long but LHC has made me think about it :hmm:

Not a problem! ;) I think shoulder - APL is one of the longer ones til you get to legs.. maybe I'm wrong. I remember APL to nearly waist going by pretty quick the first time around, it seems like it does get easier! Especially once we can do stick buns. :joy:
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I'm an even 5" between each body marker to waist. Even nape to shoulder was pretty close with 4". At least I can get a pretty good idea of time between each.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Woohoooo, I measured this morning and I am 20 inches. I measured wet but didn't stretch it, if I measure dry I always get 18 1/2 even though I know it's longer than that lol
When I straighten it when dry I am 1 inch away, thanks to the tshirt idea, so the tape measuring still isn't that accurate. I'm so rubbish at measuring lol
For me distance from apl to bsl is about 4 inches, but tbh it depends on where you measure it to doesn't it, top of bra is just over 3 inches. I've got a feeling when I get to the top of bra strap I'll be calling it :) from there I've got 6 to waist. I'm not growing that long though. I'm aiming for mbl.
Two-wheels you've got gorgeous thick hair. Great hemline.

Congratulations on making it to 20 inches, diddiedaisy! :cheer:
I will find out at the end of this month if I have managed to make it to 20 inches, as well.
I know a few of us have posted photos of our hair, here on this thread, to share Updo and styling ideas with each other. This being a long hair forum means that our thread doesn't get as much activity as some of the other Show Us threads, which is more than understandable.
But, it turns out that a new thread has just started up for those of us with BSL and shorter hair to participate in. I have added a couple of photos already.
So, if you would like to participate or just drop by for some ideas and tips, not to mention a chance to see some awesome hair toys, here is the link.

Many thanks to Sparklylady82 for starting the thread. :flowers:
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Thanks diddiedaisy - and congratulations on 20"! (I can't measure, either. I get 1-2" variation, and only 0.5"/month growth, so it's pretty pointless for me to go on inches.)
luluj that thread is cool, I will go spam it with pics at some point :lol:
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
It looks like my hair is brushing apl in the front and I think I'm about a cm from just brushing apl in the back. I tried to use the towel to measure and I think I'm getting close. These pregnancy hormones sure make my hair grow fast!!! (though I will probably pay for it with loss of thickness in a great postpartum shed like last time) It is nice getting over an inch of length a month (probably closet to 1.5 inches).

Yeah, what's up with the front vs. back disparity? lol
In the front, my hair totally goes into my armpits.. but in the back.. nope, not at all. *sigh*
And um yeah, that is some insane growth, good for you :D
