Yay!! My undercut is the same length, though the rest of my hair is a bit shorter than yours (somewhere around BSL/waist).

I keep saying (and have been saying for at least 6 months lol) that surely NOW is the most awkward stage of growing out the undercut. I've been using contour clips for buns, as I often find them more comfortable at the crown of my head, but braids are a no-go; I just can't stand the ends poking out and tickling my neck. I keep telling myself that SURELY in another few months the undercut will have grown out enough to stay in a braid

So many people growing out undercuts, that's amazing :D I mean, it's a tedious journey, but it helps to share it with others!

I was hoping to make it to APL before the end of the year. I'm at 56cm (22") and APL is 60cm (23.5") on me. I have a slow growth rate, about 0.8cm a month but it didn't grow at all last month so I'm starting to feel a little discouraged.

CuteCrow, that sounds like you might still get really close to APL if the stall ends soon, right?

Copying from the thread of one year of growth:

ynne, to me it looks like you reached it!

And it looks so soft and pretty!

ETA: silly me! I always forget you claim the milestone when curly! I'd bet that by September you'll be there

Don't be discouraged! You'll make it!
I don't know why but I mostly feel like my hair is always at the same lenght... Then suddenly, one day I wake up and see it got longer

My hair was at APL last year but it was badly damaged due to straightening, I got my partner to chop it off to my ears in Sept 2019 and I got him to chop the last remaining damage in Feb 2020. I changed up my diet cause it was terrible and I also started taking suppliments and regular oiling treatments. So far it's grown from 11 inches to just 16 inches. Doing my best to be patient, I don't touch straightener's anymore (I gave them away), I'm trying to manage and love my wavy/curly hair. Patience is a virtue

I'm officially calling my hair neck length, my growth rate is pretty slow, don't think I even grew half an inch this month

It's okay! It's still progress since it doesn't need to be fully stretched to get there. c: Thank you for the encouragement & compliments!

Congratulations on starting to embrace your hair with its natural texture! I saw your album, it looks really nice!
