Thought I'd put a pic of my APLish hair (even looks APLish from the front with layers and all!)

Figure I'll stay on this thread for a little bit before graduating, when I joined here in May I was already at 21 inches, so was only just a mere 3-4 inches to APL.

Wow Theodora you have gorgeous eyes!

**theodora** · July 7th, 2011, 09:33 AM

Thanks a lot Mrs coffee! I'm blushing now

Yippee!

Honestly, I thought it would take me forever to get to APL. It felt like my hair was growing SO SLOWLY, and I was getting so frustrated. But looking at my photo albums, I've noticed so much growth since I dyed my hair back to its original colour on May 25th of this year.

...Funny how you don't notice any growth until you look back at all of your progress photo's. Makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy.

I know this is a 'shoulder to APL' thread, but how long did it take others on here to get to BSL?

theodora, it looks like you've been getting great growth!

Thanks a lot guys! I've been trying to figure out my growth rate, helped by dbf yestersay, and we figured since I cut my hair into a bob with a blunt fringe beginning of March at 17.5 inches long, and I've reached 24 at the beginning of July, that gives me 6.5 inches in 4 months, an average of over 1 1/2 inches a month.

Which I know sounds completely mental, but you have to know this is my prime growth period of the year from spring to end of summer. I tend to grow exponentially as it gets hotter and sunnier and usually grow the most in the year when I go on holiday (which I am not doing this summer incidentally). So I am aiming to make the most I can out of my annual growth spurt before I hit my growth stall in about september/october.

I've just received my delivery from spicesofindia (awesome website, totally recommend it for both cooking and hair stuff), so I now have some new supplies of coconut oil, castor oil (finally! it was so hard to find), rose water and an assortment of lovely indian herbs supposed to help with growth/reduce shedding/lots of loveliness. Will let you know how that goes!
