I can't do a full one with my hair yet, but if I part it down the middle I can do one on each side. There are some parts (like around my ears, and my bangs) that I slide a bobby pin into the braid after to hold it better.

Regardless, I usually end up with more bobby pins in at the end of the day than I started with.

My hair is very thin and fine and slippery.

Well, I am officially back at square one for this thread; I gave in and chopped another two inches or so of my bleached ends...I'm sitting just, just, just past shoulders now. Had to relayer everything; what a pain!

Still have a couple more inches (at least) of damage to cut off, but it looks a lot better, much fewer splits, though I'm sure I didn't get all of them...

A frustrating feeling, but it feels so nice to get rid of damaged ends! Or at least, I always think so.

Aww, that's always hard! At least it will be nice and even and strong for you as it gets even longer, as opposed to breaking as it grows?

I want to see PROGRESS!

Yup, I am at the exact same stage and it bugs me like crazy, so most of the time I just put it in a ponytail or pin it into a (very poor-looking) bun. About three months ago I went from BSL to shoulder lenght, I only hope it was a temporary state of insanity, cause I've regretted it ever since. Now I'm impatiently waiting for it to grow back. Oh, hair, how much more time do you need???

Me too! The other day I was looking in the mirror thinking "hmm, my flips are getting bigger" but the overall effect is still within the realm of what I consider to be shoulder length.

I'd just reached APL on the longer lengths at the back, but have had to have about an inch and a half taken off, as it was starting to snarl and tangle quite badly. It's taken me exactly 12 months to get from collar length to past Shoulder length, but it made sense to have it trimmed - meant I had to drop out of the no trims this year challenge, although it was twelve months for me. On the bright side, my hairdresser reckons my hair's in excellent condition, and he saw it just before I found and joined LHC when it was anything but, so I took that as a sign the regime I've adopted as a LHC member has paid off.

I can finally join this thread now. I am shoulder length, if you look past all the flippies. I imagine I will be here for quite a bit as I think APL is where I will start cutting off all my left over pixie layers. Anyways.... it's good to be here!
