Shoulder | Armpit

more like as forceful as a hurricane haha, and curly hair sure does like to torment people with shrinkage

This is a much better description, bat.

Oh yes, shrinkage, lots of fun.

In short, SL is one of those milestones that depends a lot on your own body proportions and what works for you and makes you feel more committed to growing or happier once you reach them (Like BSL/BSB/MBL or BCL/TBL).




Your hair is looking lovely with your natural curls too. To be honest I go by my stretched milestones because curly milestones don't feel as fulfilling(?) to me. Curly hair tends to shrink differently each time so is less reliable for "solid" milestones too.

Thanks for the compliment, CuteCrow.

My last measurement was done as you suggest, dry and stretched. I think I will measure wet the next time, just out of curiosity. Body proportions do play a role, like you say. I am quite small so my milestones are close.

I don't get real curls but my hair sure likes to flick out not exactly Shrinkage but enough I can't get a fully accurate length shot unless I straighten it

I think that's about as accurate description as we are going to get! :) I'm glad this discussion happened, I never thought twice about such "obvious" markers before. I'm hoping to eventually reach waist, and that one should be clear enough on me, at least!

Some people have trouble with waist as well I think the most clear cut milestone is classic

I agree, this discussion has been a good one, very interesting and informative. Last night I was looking at various "hair length charts" and the differences were noticeable. I don't think I found even two charts that were similar in their perspective of where a particular length was. Classic length is a lovely one, I enjoy looking at photos of members with this length, even though it isn't on my goal list. I'm afraid it would overwhelm me.

My long term goal is waist, where I would maintain. Personally, BSL and waist are close, due to my height, or lack thereof.

Just for general interest and fun, although I suspect we have all come across theses length charts at some point in our growth journey.

Body Markers....Shoulder and Collarbone length are very close on this chart.



One more, for measuring in inches and centimeters....



These charts are just two of many that I was looking at. There isn't a lot of consistency in charts, but it's interesting at least.

The top image is the one I use myself it seems the best one I've found

CBL and shoulder are basically the same

I think so, too. Judging from my own hair, it is the closest/best chart of the many that I looked at.

I will call it collarbone and go from here. Now I need to stop all this foolery and fun...NOT!

For me this will have to be kept light and easy, just so that I can enjoy the trip to APL.
