Shoulder | Armpit

[XcaliburGirl]

Well, I did a length shot. Basically the very ends of my hair are brushing the crease of my armpit. I'd go ahead and call this APL, but I'm getting a trim today, so I'll be at SL+ for a while longer.

21" pre-cut. That seems to be 2 inches since June 4th. Not bad!
So, if I get 3" off today, it should take 3-6 months to grow back.

My hair seems to be getting wider as well. I guess it's just it spreading out over my shoulders. Eventually the weight should calm it down.

Me, me! I am halfway between the base of my neck and APL. I usually end up cutting back up to above my shoulders at this lenght (and spent most of the last 20+ years in a bob). I recently switched my basic multi-vitamin to the skin-hair-nails multi from my favorite local co-op and was asked a month later (by a male co-worker, no less), what the heck was up with my hair. I was told it looked a lot longer than the day before even! Am hopeful to reach APL by the end of the year.

I've got about 3 inches to go before APL. Grow faster hair!

I'm going crazy staring at the wasteland between neck and APL aahhhh

Yes! Getting to the halfway point took FOREVER!

*sigh*

Yeah, I know. It's my own fault. I wanted blue hair. I knew exactly what I was doing when I bleached the ends.

I got all the green off (except for couple missed strands which I'll S&D). It's pretty much where it was in April when I started taking length shots.

Can I join in? I think I'm only about 2 inches from APL, so I'm telling myself I'll be there by Christmas! My nasty ends will need a little trim by then though. (I'm still kicking myself for letting my mum cut my hair earlier this year before I'd measured or photographed it - I think she took off about 3 inches .)

By the way, can anyone direct me to a thread with some hints on how to take photos of your own hair? I've searched a bit but can't find anything that seems to help. I'm having trouble working out how to do it, and my mirrors are useless, and the light's all wrong...

Welcome

I'm not sure if there's a thread about taking pictures. I have a self timer on my camera. I set it to 10 seconds and set it on my dresser, then run in front of it. If you don't have that setting, you can stand with your back to a mirror and set the camera on your shoulder or on top of your head to make sure it's a good angle. Also, the flash may just make a big glare, so you might want to turn it off. If that won't work, I'm not sure how else to do it without another person.
Maybe you can buy a webcam? I bet there's free software out there to do a timed picture.

Thanks XcaliburGirl, I can see I'm just going to have to spend some more time playing with my camera (and my hair). I'll get it eventually!

Wow, seems like I've been in this thread forever! I have one more inch to go - thought I'd be there by August, but it's looking more like end September now. I think this length seems the longest because of the swell of our chests - you know? it seems like it isn't getting longer because it curves up with our (ahem) bosoms - whereas it *looks* longer at the back!
