Your shine is absolutely gorgeous longhairdream! can i ask if it's hendigo? and if so, how you got that incredibly, cool brown colour from it? (if it's not, i'll just be over here, minding my own business ....

)

I don't know. I think it would help me if I measured it wet. I've decided to do picture measuring. My first "official" length picture was "second-day hair" (i.e. before I washed it, since I was daily) and combed. Mine is so thick and puffy at this length. It seemed so much more manageable at longer lengths because the length weighs it down. It's annoying to measure because my hemline width is sticking out several inches at a 45 degree angle, not to mention the flippy pieces. Sorry for the rant. Felt good though.

I get the flippiness, too, at shorter lengths. Very annoying. I don't know why I didn't just leave my hair longer all this time rather than fighting with it. I do get the "your hair is flat when it's longer" line from other people, but what they don't get is that I like my hair flatter, lol--and I don't have to feel like I'm ripping at it every time I try to comb i!

Well, I just did a Feye's self-trim, sort of. My hair is still a bit layered, I guess, because the ends seemed to be different lengths. I was terrified to cut much, so I barely dusted the ends and there wasn't much trimmed off. What I did was part my hair in half and bring the ends over my shoulders to the front and then trim. How the heck do you trim otherwise? I couldn't get a ponytail over my shoulder. I'm the only female in this house and I don't dare ask my husband or sons to trim for me. Last time I asked my poor hubby to trim my hair there was a 1" difference from one side to the other, and he was so proud of himself!

The good news is, looks like I'm at APL, at least with my hair all combed out. I do have a bit of a U shape still, and I'm APL at the bottom of the U, but that counts, right?

Congratulations, Dreams In Pink!!

Congrats on reaching APL Dreams!

This is the hardest part of the journey for me, getting from the shoulder to APL. I'm really high waisted so WL isn't that terribly far after APL for me.
