Am I APL? (pics inside)

[dreysonsmommy2011]

Hey ladies! I am suffering from a severe case of "hair anorexia" and I need your help in determining whether or not I have reached APL. I had my SO measure my hair and he said yes, but I think the longer my hair grows I continue to think that it is short. Honest opinions are greatly appreciated and If I'm not please tell how far away I am. Thanks ladies!

(sorry if pics are a little blurry)

Nicki has a great method for measuring APL. She wraps a towel under her arms, if your hair touches then you are APL.

if your SO says you are then you are.

IMO I would say you are 1'' shy of apl... Im looking at your most recent siggy pic on the right...I would say where the top of your dress at is apl. Others may disagree but either way you've made astounding progress within 3 months

ETA: okay the pics that you provided in the thread didnt load until I posted my response ...the most recent pics you provided look very close to APL

Since hair grows 1/2" per month, you will be claiming in next month.

please dont get discouraged shoot you might be there by next week...1/2 inch is literally a blink away

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

I think another inch you'll be right there.

Discouraged, no not me...If anything I am encouraged. That means I need to be more proactive with my regimen(kind of fell off ) It all depends on how my hair lays, but I do know that it is so close. Boy SL to APL is truly a struggleerplexed

I agree! You'll be there before you know it. Next thing you know you'll be battling BSL!! Keep up the good work chica!

Hey soror where ya been?

I'd say give it about another 1/2 inch, then you will be at APL and moving on to BSL.

Hey Sorhor! I have been MIA for a couple of weeks but I am back on track...I'll be glad when my hair is your length So I figure by my 25th birthday I(end of July)'ll be APL

 

[jaded_faerie]

Get out of my head Ayeshia! I agree Nikki you are soooo close!

BTW, Nikkipoo, I love how uniform your length is from base to ends. I'm smitten by how full and healthy your ends look! This is the sort of progress I love to see.

 

[shunta]

I agree.

APL will be there before you know it.

That is a great method for finding out if you are APL. When I finally decide to straighten my hair I am going to have to use that method.

Girl, now that you're back on track, you'll catch up with me in no time. But I ain't sitting here waiting on ya. I'm moving on to MBL and beyond!

 

[TLC1020]

I'd say you're almost there, maybe half an inch or so.. But you are so close, next touch up you should be there with no problem

That IS a good idea I'll have to try it next wash day!!
