Girl, when I first started my hair journey, APL was my ultimate hair goal. And I didn't really believe I could have hair that long bc I had NEVER had long hair before. I figured it would take me YEARS to get there.
So I did my length check photo at SL and then cornrowed my hair up to rock wigs.
I had just started working as a foster care social worker so I was rocking wigs HARD that year - just refreshing my cornrows weekly or biweekly bc work was so busy. AND I had finished my Master's degree and wore my hair out for graduation but still didn't do a length check.
The next year I went to do my length check thinking I would be close to APL, and I had passed it!!
That's these two pictures. April the first year and again April the next year - ONE year later!
I had never had hair this long before!
Part of me was mad that I didn't get to celebrate APL. You see how APL is the only line marked on my homemade shirt? That's bc I never imagined I would ever have hair any longer than that "A." The times when I was redoing my hair, I was pulling my hair down but it didn't feel that long to me. So I think it's normal to feel like your hair isn't as long as the ladies we look at on the YT and the hair boards.

You bring such valid points. I think I had this vision of hair esp as a relaxed girl and I think accepting my just may not be full but it can retain. APL would be dreamy just enough hair to not feel bald.

That's why I used to watch TheTabbi1 on YT bc she was one of the few ladies who didn't have super thick relaxed hair.

Ok this random before relaxing my grey in front was crazy but after relaxer I still have grey but it’s like my hair looks darker. I don’t know it’s wild.

LOL!
And me too! I want her to come back! Her HL hair seemed so doable and easier to maintain than, say, prettymetty's bc her hair was sooooo thick!!
I've been thinking that once my hair gets past WL, I'm gonna just start rocking it straightened more often. I'll still texlax but keep it straight by flat ironing once a month. So looking at Tabbi's simple regi is definitely inspiring!

I’m thinking of wearing my hair wo weave which is weird but I’m concerned with edges. I wfh some maybe it will look ok not make me look to ick but I def must dye it as boo to grey. This is major for me as I have never worn my hair to this job.

I've been trying to relax my hair for a minute, but this weather has been so weird lately. I'm trying to do it when I'm not so sweaty because the newgrowth is ITCHY

Y’all I have not touched a wig in 3 weeks this is a record for me in the last 6 yrs. My bday is in 2 weeks so I’m going to want my pink hair and my clip ins but after that I may make this bun my thing as it’s forcing me to tend to my hair daily.

I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I struggled to maintain my hair, throwing hats on, etc.. I needed a hairstyle that would be quicker to manage with all of the things I have to juggle.
