I'm quite new here so please forgive me if this is being repeated. How do you measure nappy hair? Is my true length when it's flat ironed (or "stretched") or is the real length while it's shrunk? I say I have shoulder length hair and it's about maybe an inch past the shoulders. I haven't flat ironed or straightened it in months so I have no idea how long it is straightened. I stretched a few tresses last night to see how far it would go and it looks like I could claim a solid APL but only if it were straightened. So what is my true length?
