Shoulder | Armpit

[SleepyTangles]

We are nearly at exactly the same length. Wow, your hair color is so rich and beautiful. You're thinking APL by Christmas? Rock on! Let's see if I get there then, too. I grow 3/4" a month. I'm doing no trimming 2nd half 2020 then planning to give another solid chop in January 2021 to get rid of the last henndigo bits on my ends, so I'll be in this thread for a fair while. Haha.

Ps. To echo lapushka, awesome freckles.

Thanks BB , the color was freshly done so it's extra deep!
I wish sooooo much to reach BSL but math is against me, but APL should be doable. We'll see, I won't surrender easily

I JUST hit APL, very excited. It took me about a year to go from roughly shoulder length to here

I was almost at APL, then I chopped off over 3 inches because my ends were an absolute mess, and now I'm back to shoulder.

I don't know that I want to go much longer than APL, my hair is extremely delicate and I've always had a lot of shedding, so my canopy is just a halo of shorties and it never looks very good when it gets BSL+

APL let's it be big and lion's mane like, plus it allows me to get away with more heat styling.

I've seen the photo and your amount of shorter, growing hair didn't seem abnormal to me, is it possible that it just stands out more to you because it doesn't flow with the rest of the hair? Or do you have increased shedding as opposed to your normal amount, or some medical scalp condition that causes excessive shedding and needs to be treated? If no, it really might just be that it looks like a lot of hair but is quite normal.

I have psoriasis and I've been sick for the past several years, so I've shedded A LOT of hair. I have way more baby hairs now than I did 10 years ago.

I'm pretty healthy now, and my scalp is less angry, so I'm hoping the shedding is over.

The distance I have to grow from shoulder to APL is 19.5cm. I have a few centimeters' head start (roughly 3cm), but that is still some way to grow.

I see! Then yeah, hopefully it should calm down to what your normal levels of shedding should be. And since your hair is still relatively short (by LHC standards, anyways!), it shouldn't take that long to catch up!
