HOORAY!!! I'VE HIT APL!!!

I combed my ends straight and then wrapped a towel under my arms as you would wrap a towel around yourself after getting out of the shower, and the ends get caught (barely) under the towel! Hooray!

I guess it looked so much shorter before because my ends like to flip up.

Woohoo!!! Congratulations, Countryhopper!!!

It will still be a while for me to hit APL, but I'm seeing progress all the same! Enjoy the journey! Congrats to those to have made it!

Yeah, it's a really awkward stage! I'm just past collarbone, on my way to APL. My hair grows kinda slowly, I think - I've got about 4 inches to go - so maybe in 8 months at a good estimate I'll hit this goal, by next x-mas, i guess. It's not really longish right now, and it's not really short-ish - so it doesn't look styled or in a style at all, just in between. Can't do updos with it, it's too fine and slippery, even a French twist won't hold.

I swear, I think I have proof of this! (which might also suggest Spidermom's stylist is right!) I had highlights put in my hair about a year ago, put in the bangs, put in the rest of it, all over. A year of "growing my hair out" later - the bangs are all grown out, no trace of highlights left at all. BUT, the hair right beside them, that has not been cut to keep it bang-length, has highlights! *further up* than my bangs! i'm not describing this right ... ok, picture a straight set of bangs with straight hair right on both sides of the face. on the bangs, there are no highlights, just one colour hair. move right across, like with a ruler, and higher up than that line, on the hair right beside the bangs that is long around the face, there are highlights! therefore, the bangs *must* have grown faster than the rest of the hair! proof!!

I think my hair has grown a bit again. It looks to me it is starting to form a U hemline which is one I like best I think. Does anyone remember my previous photo and can anyone confirm it has grown? I might feel like I belong to this post a bit more lol

So if you have wavy hair, do you measure it combed out/flat, wet, or just as is? I think my hair would be a good 3" longer if I measured it wet. It's wavering right around APL, but I need to take a picture because it's hard to tell just looking at it from the side.

I belong in this thread too! Only an inch or two to go!
