Yup, I am an inch PAST APL in the front but about 1 inch away from APL in the back, I believe. I will be doing a length check today.

It's higher in the front and lower in the back so people usually reach it first in the front. I think that's why we judge from the back.

I am at a coffee shop and decided to take a web cam pic. Here is my "straightened" style. I have got to learn how to use a flat iron.
I will have my DH take a length shot when I get home.
So Purdy!!
You are definitely on your way, Taz!

It seems like APL is a distant dream that I have been chasing forever!
I know of someone who is 4'11 and her hair looks so long! But put that hair on my 5'9 1/2 body and it would look short. My hair looks like it is getting bigger and not longer.
Ok, rant over.
Taz I would kill for that thickness.
I know how you feel though, I'm 5'9 myself so it seems like it takes forever for it to "look" long even though someone shorter may have the same length as us. Hang in there your hair is gorgeous.

aaah taz I totally sympathise.
i posted a blog of my latest flat iron but i'll post pics here too. this latest heat pass means i'll only be able to stretch it in Dec.
that reminds me..i can never flat iron my hair and get it to lay as long as it is when I pull it. so should we be claiming apl when it effortlessly falls there and not when we stretch it to breaking point (this is what i do when length checking...if i pull hard enough i'm almost bsl
)

I lightly flat ironed a week or 2 ago, & my bottom layer is scraping APL! I'll post the pic asap. I'm flat ironing again (tis the season LOL!) this weekend for my babyshower (if I have the energy) so i'll post those pics also.

Just flat ironed my hair and did a much needed 1in trim. I'm ALMOST scraping APL. I don't think I'm going to make it. Here is my hair in Jan 2009 and the picture I took today.
I would say I need about three more inches to reach my goal. Maybe I will reach it by March 2010.

Small update, I did my touch up and used a heat pass. I think I may be closer to apl by Dec. than I had originally thought.

Great job ladies.
I'm about 3/4-1 inch away from JUST reaching APL right now in the front, so there's a good chance that I'll be able to claim in by the end of December or middle of January.

wow the very tip is touching APL i believe. You'll be there by the deadline for sure. Great progress!
I really wanna straighten my hair I bought the mizani thermasmooth line and everything but when it comes down to it I'm too intimidated. Each time I had direct heat on my head something goes wrong but I'm more knowledgeable now so...
Then again I still have some heat damaged strands and my edges could use some thickening up so maybe I shouldn't tempt fate.
Almost 2 months left! Yes we can!

Taz- I am amazed at how fast your hair grows. It definitely looks thicker and longer.
Wow- Fantastic progress since Jan
I need to be in the "to be continued thread!" LOL I won't be APL until the summer of 2010 or later. That's what I get for being tall and with a big head...
Blingtastic mami- Your hair looks so beautiful and healthy.

What can I say FL- you are the poster child for Ayurveda. Keep up the wonderful work, cause your hair looks beautiful.

OMG, I didn't know you were that tall. You look much shorter. But, I guess one cannot really tell judging from these pics..

Taz I'm 6 feet tall so I know its going to take twice as much hair for me to get any length, plus I have a big head and a long neck, I have my work cut out for me!It seems like APL is a distant dream that I have been chasing forever!
