Getting close to APL but I still have lots of people tell me they love my new "shoulder length cut" even though it was at my shoulders months ago.

Don't worry about those people. They don't use the specific length words we use here. I know my hair is at my collarbone and don't care what word another person would use!

We have 35 stages for hair growth on the German board. It starts with "bald head" and goes to "*** cm longer than floor length". So you can image, we have a stage for that too. It's upper back length. Which is stage number 12. For those, who understand German or bother to translate a link.

I'm still trying to recover from the Haircut from Hell (now, I've had Haircuts from Hell before (joe dirt mullet...) but this one wasn't intentional.)

My hair before:

After my stylist massacred it (I went for a trim and asked her to shorten the top layer...not hard, right?)

The back after Erica (angel that she is) did the best job she could at fixing it (I'm still working on it. I feel like I'll be back on track after I get another trim in about 6 weeks.)

Growing towards APL. Thinking I might like to lose the layers. I had layers before that I really liked, but lately, they've been looking...feathered? (you can see my original, subtle layers that I really loved.)

I still want to kick the ass of that stylist that butchered it back in November. I didn't even realize it was bad (although she was rude to me) when I left, when I got home and looked in the mirror, I almost cried. And everyone told me it looked GOOD, I wondered where their eyes (or brains) were at!

Now I'm wondering what number is so offensive that it has to be blocked... What did that number do...

lol

The style for layers now is so aggressive that I would be afraid to ask for them anywhere. The good news is that your layers will look good as they grow longer, so I'd just leave them alone.

Yea...well I'm not getting another trim for a while (though I dislike the fact that for some reason, I seem to have more splits on the right side of my hair. It's winter and VERY cold this year, I'm sure that's damaging my hair.) I'm trying to go 2 months between trims and I'm going to keep going back to the same girl, who knows me and how to cut MY hair (she's the one that fixed the horrendous style.)

I was getting in the shower and out of curiosity I grabbed a random loose bra strap (one of those removeable ones) and stuck it under my arms and across my back to see how close I am to APL. I'm AT APL now!!!! I can't believe it!!!!

My hair doesn't seem to be long enough to really DO anything with, (maybe I just don't know how) but I think this is the longest it's ever been.

Yayaaaa!!!!!!

I don't know, what to tell you. It could be any number.

Congrats!

I finally found some relatively cheap satin pillowcases. Now I can see firsthand what all the fuss is about.

I also bought some claw clips. It's getting harder and harder to keep my hair out of the way in the shower when I want to wash my body so I think these will come in handy!

I wish my hair was all the same length! The back is less than an inch from collarbone, but the front is just to my lips. This means when the back is APL, the front will be like collarbone length! Grrr.
