Shoulder | Armpit

[Lianna]

I wish my hair was all the same length! The back is less than an inch from collarbone, but the front is just to my lips. This means when the back is APL, the front will be like collarbone length! Grrr.

My hair is not the same either, but I think when it reaches BSL or waist will make a cute round hemline! Plus half-ups work great.

I still have some layers. Last time my hair stylist cut my hair to be less layery. At this short length, I realised only afterwards, my hair does need layers.
I decided to only do S&D until my hair is at some point, where it does not need the layers any more. Meanwhile I hope my hair while get more layers naturally by itself. Obviously not every hair on my head grows with the same speed.

I don't know at what point (my) curly hair won't need layers any more. Maybe at BSL?

Question for those of you who have hair at least halfway between shoulder and APL- do you mentally still consider your hair shoulder-length? True shoulder length for me is around 17" and APL is 22-23" and I'm at roughly 21." Getting close to APL but I still have lots of people tell me they love my new "shoulder length cut" even though it was at my shoulders months ago.

Yes I do consider it SL because I can't come up with a name for it until it's APL.

We have 35 stages for hair growth on the German board. It starts with "bald head" and goes to "*** cm longer than floor length". So you can image, we have a stage for that too. It's upper back length. Which is stage number 12. For those, who understand German or bother to translate a link.

Woww. I wish I could find those in english.

Well there is collarbone length inbetween, but i see the difficulty as i am at 1 inch from APL. I call it APL when i raise my arms! LOL

You won't find it in English somewhere. One of the members made it up. I made a crappy translation while watching tv, but I think, you'll get the idea from it.

I meant #12. I don't know how to edit my posts! *newbie*

Wow! Very cool forum! I do not speak, read or write German but languages have always fascinated me and thank goodness for cognates!

After browsing the forum, I was VERY pleased to see http://www.langhaarnetzwerk.de/phpBB...pic.php?t=4366
which is a thread that posts different pictures of the different hair types! After seeing the examples, I am now convinced I am a 2a!

Thank you for sharing that link.

I have been wanting to learn German for some time now, maybe that site will be my incentive!
