What Length is You Hair When You LEAN BACK??

[SmilingElephant]

I did this the other day....i hadn't done it in a loooong time...since i was APL/BSL.....and it drove me INSANE!!...lol!! My lean-back length is TAILBONE!!!


I remember when it barely reach waist!!"awwww....."

 

[*CherryPie*]

WHEN YOU LEAN BACK?!

OMG!!!

Now that's funny!

........carry on.

 

[rririla]

Lmao...so it's not only me that has done this!....I reach BSL...real length is only APL.

What a cute thread. I needed this because I am discouraged today about my progress.

This month will be the start of my FOURTH year. This should be the year I reach my goal...but my hair from ear-length down is thinner with broken pony tail area.

NO MATTER WHAT I DO MY HAIR "FEELS" SHOULDER LENGTH, even though the longest layer in the back is past APL

What do I do? Somehow I don't feel that trimming is the answer. PSing? I HAVE to reach solid BSL this year.

When i lean back I am Classic Length .

If you're at APL....BSL is just around the corner!!

What got me from APL to BSL wasn't really bunning per se...but just keeping my ends off my shirt....so i would just clip it up.

What's you regimen??

[FlowerHair]

LOL!
It's too hot over here to let my hair down right now, but it's got to be around Classic Length.

 

[RENIBELL]

LOL this is a fun thread, my lean back lenght is wasit lenght, wish that was my real length

 

[soldierforhair]

*Lean Back, Lean Back, Lean Back* Okay just had to say it. LOL

I'm not sure I'm in braids right now. But probably APL or BSL.

 

[SmilingElephant]

I thought this would be a fun question

Nothing wrong with makebelieving

HAYYY!!!!...that song is playing in my head right now!

 

[Latomian]

When I lean back, I'm a little past BSL...hoping that's MBL in a few months *fingers crossed*

 

[wannabelong]

Whoo hoo! I'm finally MBL. LMBO!!!!

 

[charmtreese]

My LBL (lean back length) is MBL!!! yayyyyy!!!!!

 

[EMJazzy]

If I flatiron and lean back it's bsl, when I just lean back with it in it's shrunken state it's SL.

My Regi:

1 - Wash 1x/ week with sulfate free shampoo OR diluted shampoo OR homemade shampoo (castille/EVOO/water)

- DC with UBH Deep Conditioner to rescue hair when I've been 'bad' or Aphogee 2 minute or Silk Elements Megasilk Moisturizing Conditioner to maintain UNDER MY BELOVED STEAMER.....YEA! (hooded dryer is collecting dust)

- Airdry then PS (stopped Roller Sets...too much manipulation)

2- cowash 2x/week with VO5 or HE LTR or Kendra Moisturizing Conditioner

3 - UBH Lotion Creme Moisturizer 2x/day on ends

4 - Seal with Soft and Beautiful Botanicals Oil; lately Castor Oil too, I've gotta make BSL!

5 - EVCO melted and warm massaged into the crown of my scalp and the scalp of the breakage areas in the back.

6 - Flat iron once per month or never on very low setting, one pass quickly through hair just to tame.

Anything else regarding trimming:

I have the Split Ender, CreaClip and use the twist technique to dust as needed.

any other suggestions?

I just feel that if I keep trimming I will never see my hair's true potential.

 

[CaramelPrincezz]

My lean back length is BSL. Lol @ this
I could get used to feeling hair that far down my back

 

[HoneyA]

TBL. Well I guess it's still growing.

 

[Ballerina_Bun]

Right now between hip + tailbone.

After I wash it this evening (shrinKAGE) , probably only BSL

 

[kami11213]

I used to do this all the time when I started out...lol but now I'm HL when I lean back

 

[DaDragonPrincess]

If I lean back, my length is WL ...

[dachsies_rule!]

My stretched hair leaning back is APL. Have no idea when I'll be APL for real though

 

[**SaSSy**]

I'm waist length when my hair is straighten and I lean back. When I first saw this thread I laugh because I secretly use to do this all time in the beginning of my hair journey.
