Shoulder | Armpit

**malumsam** · August 20th, 2011, 11:35 AM

I'm finally at shoulder (flip lenght) and I have to agree that this lenght is easier than the slow crawl from chin. Tying it up is a big deciding factor for my opinion of it.

Mind you, I still hate this lenght. I rather pixie short or extra long (the second is the one I've chosen obviously).

Anyway, at least now I can hide it in a ponytail when the hair isn't cooperating.

Well, I was finally able to get DF to snap a pic for me. We've been super busy! Now, when it's wurly, I still have a touch to go, but I still wear it straight mostly (or just bun-straightened). So I think I can claim it!

But it is helping me to measure and take pictures of my progress, plus being on the LHC and learning how to look after long hair properly means when it grows it will be in much better condition. So am comforted by this. The peeps on thr LHC are SO helpful and knowledgable its great :-)

Thank you

That is exactly how I feel! It's going to take forever for it to be long again

But I used to straighten my hair all the time and blowdry, which caused massive split ends and breakage, so now since I found the LHC I can take better care of it and make sure it will be healthy

Thank you everyone for the welcoming

CONGRATULATIONS, Kaji and WV!

Kaji, I can't believe how fast you got there! WV, your hair is so shiny! I'm just a couple inches behind you, but it seems like it's taking forrreeeeverrr...

Wow. I ignored this thread for a day, came back and found two of you had already reached APL. Congratulations! Hopefully I'll see you all in the APL to BSL thread before the end of this year.

CrisDee, I know exactly how you feel. Judging by your signature I think you and I are about neck and neck (haha) for length. It's hard to be so close but so far away still.

What does this say about me having half my hair at shoulder and the other half at chin? Womp womp....

Onward and downward!

We seem to be at the same place .... longest layer is just past shoulder length ... shortest layer is chin length .... and i have every layer in between.

Hope to see you both in APL to BSL!

Congrats to everyone who reached APL ... how exciting!!

I want to share a picture of my new favorite updo: a flipped cinnabun with a hairstick. Isn't it fascinating? It looks like like an impossible knot. And right between shoulder and APL is the perfect length for it ... if my hair were shorter then it wouldn't stay up, but if my hair were longer then the ends would stick out.
