Ughh, it feels like i haven't progressed at all. I know it's because i trimmed, but still...
And it seems my shed left a mark, i lost 1cm off my ponytail circumference. My hair feels thin and Blah these days...

Well, technically it's my brother's dog, but he spends a lot of time at our place, since my brother has no time for him, due to intense work schedule, so i consider him to be my dog too

He's definitely our family member.

No worries! You recently trimmed, so your lost circumference could be because of the trim. If those shorter layers are barely reach your pony and ends under the elastic you don't measure them. Just relax! You said somewhere you have tons of baby hairs! Just matter of time to reach your pony!

Thanks for the encouragement..

It might be because of the trim, as you say. I did see a halo of baby hairs around my head when my hairdresser was blow drying my hair. I hope they grow long enough to get into my up dos soon.
I just have to be patient. Positive thing is that my hair grows rather fast. I can already see growth since last week's trim.

Next trim will be in january. I'll do a small one. Judging by my 2014 monthly length photos which i kept, i should reach APL in a year from now, including the trim...

My braids finally feel normal and do not stick out to the sides, hooray! And the progress is weird: sometimes it very visible, and sometimes not at all. At the front my hair is well past my armpits stretched, and in the shower it feels very close to BSL... but in reality it only just started looking solidly CBL. I'm in "no measuring till September" (or something like that) challenge, so I'll have to wait for the length pic, but I actually planned on hitting APL around August, so I might actually be close. Wurly problems

Stalking this thread, and glad I am. That dog is so beautiful Stray Mind!!

I am pretty much at shoulder length now after a few dodgy haircuts, I'm going to try and limit cuts now that my hair is all the same length again after growing out a pixie. It's been such a long process and its barely begun!! In here for the long haul

It looks like I have 4-5 cm until APL. I did get a little set back because I trimmed my hair, I do feel like that was necessary though. For me, when I start to get tangles in my hair I know it's time to consider a trim. But I'm also a little annoyed that it will push my goals back like two months.
Fortunately my hairdresser is very careful so she trimmed only the worst. Kind of funny, I now appreciate her being so careful but when I had very short hair and wanted to keep it that way I felt she was too careful.
