Congratulations!

Alyanna love your waves/wurls/curls! So pretty! Your lines shot came out great as well.

pink.sara Another welcome and kudos for your color. So very cool!

I have to say that just above SL through just below is my least favorite length. It's driving me crazy! Because of the way it was undercut, I still have a full-on fringe of hair that hangs out underneath even if I decide to pull it up. Ugh! Grow hair - Grow!

Spitfire, Thank you so very much

I totally agree, we always always want what we don't have!

It always makes me sad to dye over them but red hair is pretty too <3

And it seems by the looks of the other photos being posted, that a lot of us are at the exact same length! We might all graduated to the APL to BSL thread around the same time hehe.

Maddy, I never realized that some blondes have issues with summer color lightening then have darker roots to deal with! See, you have heightened my perspective! Heh heh. What fun though to have a natural change in color that dramatic once a year, it must be refreshing! It does seem like we are all going to graduate at the same time. How cool is that?!!? Certainly has perked my mood having people to commiserate, uh, I mean, cheer each other on with! LOL

Sooo excited to have another updo option. I figured you all are probably some of the few folks who could sympathize! And of course I learned about the Gibson tuck from this forum...gosh, I love this place

Epigrrl, That is awesome! Could I convince you to take some pictures, pretty please? Congrats!

Last but by no means least, Alyanna, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Check this out! Also, Maddy, thank you too for being the catalyst

I'm getting so close to APL! Yay castor oil and patience!

Good progress everyone! What annoys me most at this length is all the flicking up my hair is doing! I'm only 2 inches away from apl but then my hair flicks up everywhere! I thought it would grow out of that lol

haha mine too ... the last 3" of my hair points straight up towards the ceiling. No wonder my hair still looks shoulder length ... it's growing up instead of down

Glad i'm not alone

I took a stripey shirt pic this afternoon. The below pic shows the comparison from the end of March (sometime between the 20th and 27th) and today. I've gained 4 stripes, 1.8 inches, yay! (sorry for the crappy quality)

I am going to make it my mission to find a stripey shirt for this thread!

Here's my first shot doing the line at APL thing. I thought I was closer than I am - maybe I really am a bit closer than it looks, the ends are turned up from putting it up wet into a cinnabun with a scrunchie for 3 days for work.

I wrapped my hair last night after CO wash, so today it's nice and straight, but I just don't have time (it being Mother's Day) to get a pic. Oh well - maybe next month!
