I feel like I've been SL for a very long time!! On with the next phase already
I'm 5'9"How tall are you? I'm 5'11", and there's 6"+ between SL and APL for me
So at 0.5" per month I am expecting it to take over a year
Are you taking good photos to document. At least if you can see a little change it won't feel so discouraging. Also, your hair in your siggy is just goregeos.
you hair is very prettyIt's taking forever for me as well, but I did have a setback and had another inch cut yesterday. I am still hoping to make it by December though.
you hair is very pretty
I don't care for buns myself but I guess it's something I'm going to have to do.

I'm looking to make APL by OctoberVal,
I know exactly how you feel. I so feel you, girl. My length is about the same as yours and I think I claimed SL in Oct 08 as well. I am 5'7, so not as tall as you, but I believe I am in the same boat.
I see a lot of progress with your pictures. For whatever reason, I just think it is hard to tell the difference in growth by the shoulders. It seems so much easier to see growth from TWA - SL and then APL and beyond. I guess this is why everyone claims SL to APL is the hardest. Because it's hard to see growth and takes the longest amount of time because this is the longest part of the body to conquer.
Hang in there. Is your current goal to make APL by December?
I wash once a week and DC once a week. I've cut down Flat ironing to 2 times a month. I moisturize and seal 2 to 3 times a week. I wrap my hair and cover with a silk scarf everynight.Val, what's your reggi like ? Have you used any growth aids ?
I've been trying to wear my hair is a bun but my S/O hates it..... he's always on my case to wear my hair down.
My hair grows fast too but retention is my problem. I had 2 set backs which caused me to cut an inch off both times. The ends were just looking so horrible. Then I have a 3rd set back where my nape just broke off. It's growing in now.I think that at shoulder length the hair seems to grow out more than down. I see lots of progress in your pic from Oct to your siggy pic now. Hang in there. I'm at the long end of SL now, I have about 2 inches to go until I get to APL and probably 3 until I am full APL. I moisturize and seal almost every night and I PS most of the time. I want to be APL by the end of September if I can. Even though I am a heat straightened natural, I have revamped my whole regi for the next 12 weeks, to include lots of conditioning and very very little and gentle heat. If I don't make it I will be soo discouraged, my hair grows super fast I just can't retain any of it.
The other day he said "is that all your hair? It looks like it's growing." But he is just so stubborn. He feels that when my hair is pulled back in one, it's not combed. *smh*How about getting a weave or a wig. I'm telling you, sometimes you have to ignore the whining and do what you know is right. When the dude sees how long your hair became because of the sacrifice, he'll get the message. Hubby-mine couldn't stand me wearing twists all the time. He wanted me to comb my hair. But when I pressed it and he saw how much longer it had grown, he got it. He had long given up whining but when I asked him if he now understood why I'm so stubborn, he nodded and said a resounding "I get it!".
