I've done another for work today, its 2:50pm and holding well, with no re-dos during the day.

Wow, I envy you! Congratulations! Are you really only at 18 inch? Mine is 22 inch and I don't think I can do a lazy wrap bun. I'll try it on the weekend thought...

APL is taking forever. I am definately past shoulder but between my height and my wurls I feel like I will get there in another year's time. Ah well, keep it up and no more trims for a while. This is the plan!!!!

My plan is to get a small trim every 4 months or so. That way I have gained 2" before getting trim. I should be at APL late spring / early summer.

I'm with jaine too! Not seeing layers won't make me wanna cut them.

I've got like 2 inches until my bottom layer is at APL. I almost cut it over Thanksgiving weekend to my shortest layer...that would have made it chin length. I hate my hair right now, but I am so glad I didn't cut it!

You reminded me to measure. It’s now 19 inch. It will be nice to get out of the teens and into the 20’s... so close.

From what I've read here I think being able to do some styles has more to do with thickness than length. I use to get my hair heavily thinned. The hairdresser would cut at the underneath with thinning shares, it’s a weird experience. The thinned hair will probably be in the bottom ¼. I wonder if that’s helping me?

I am sooo close to APL. About an 1 1/2 inches away. Im so ansy and I just wanna be APL already. Ive been between shoulder and APL for 10 months now! Why the the distance between shoulders and armpits have to be so long? Lol!

YAY! I can finally join this thread!

After 5 months, from pixie, I hit shoulder!

On my way to APL now! This should be an interesting stage in the journey...
