Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Lots of beautiful getting-long hair on this board! I am a longtime lurker and am a bit over an inch away from APL, after years of chopping back to a bob when it reaches collarbone. And this weekend I discovered I can do a lazy wrap bun! Anyone else doing this yet? So excited to try out my first fork, on its way to my mailbox now...

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I can't do one yet, but I remember from my last growing out period, that it was around APL when I was able to do them. They were quite tight in the beginning, and only hold if I did them on wet/damp hair at first.Originally Posted by chachagrace

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
Yes mine only works on either damp or 3rd day and beyond hair.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I can't do any buns yet. But I managed to do a single French braid recently. Until that I could only do twin braids because of my short layers.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
So many people close to APL! As for me, I am not. I have been working on bringing out my natural waves so that means my hair bounces back up to close to shoulder length.
Also, I just realized that my hair is longer in the front and shorter in the back so growing it out is going to be annoying. Anyone grown out a cut like that without trimming the front? I feel like it will just look weird if I don't trim.
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I'm doing the same thing right now, though my hair is a lot straighter than yours is. I'm sure it'll turn out fine. What I'm doing is just keep growing the n hem until it's long enough to cut into a u or v without epic progress loss.

I managed lazy wrap bunand I love spring - nice and humid weather is great!
Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
My hair is straighter in the front than in back, so it definitely looks like one of those cuts, even though when it's all stretched out the bottom layer is the same length all around. It doesn't really bother me, though, because my hair's always been like this. It helps mitigate the pyramid look, in my opinion.

Re: Calling all who are growing shoulder to APL!
I'm also growing out from an inverted bob (though my hair is stick straight) and it totally isn't that bad. I sometimes pin the longer pieces back with bobby pins to make them appear more level and get them off my face simultaneously, but I think this is deffinately better than ''outgrown mullet'' what happens if the hair is longer at the back. Also, it will be a lot easier to get a blunt hemline once it's longer!So many people close to APL! As for me, I am not.
