Hey Ladies,

Here's an update picture from a few days ago. My nape hair is finally at my shoulders and I'm CLAIMING IT damnit! :lol: The hair behind my ears is at my collar bone. Seemed like my nape was growing slower, but maybe that's because I was constantly measuring it. And actually, I thought the summer months was when hair grew faster?? I swear my hair grew faster during the winter.

Hi SL Divas!!! Even though I've "made" SL I still don't feel like I have enough length to post in the APL or MBL thread.

I hope all of you a ladies are all doing well!!

My hair is still doing pretty good! Someone posted saying their nape is slow growing and the area behind their ears is at their collar bone.. THAT'S ME!!! it's so nice to know I'm not the only one.. so weird!! or maybe not so much. Either way I'm still happy with my hair, I'm thinking of getting color but I don't want to because my hair is so sensitive I think it would set me back, and goodness knows I don't want that.
 
Checking in!!!! I have about .5" to go, so September will be it, and it's also my 1-year nappiversary so that will be nice. I have also decided to texlax, I kept going back and forth about it and I felt like I did I would be a quitter or a loser or my hair wouldn't grow with the relaxer or whatever, but I am realizing that there are plenty of ladies on here with beautiful relaxed and texlaxed hair. So in December I will texlax, final decision, I can always transition back out if I don't like it.

Also, I did a naughty thing; my aunt and cousin were pressing their hair and the hot comb was out so I straightened just a back piece and it was unimpressive :/ it made me sad...anyway, that's it...ciao ladies and congrats to all the graduates!!!

Me three...:yep: Even though I post pictures there, perhaps I will feel more at home in the APL thread next year. I should be grazing APL by December, but it will probably take me a couple more months to get to full APL.

I'm still lobbying that Imani makes the APL 2012 and/or BSL 2012 challenge. I'm just sayin.

Ha! I'll think about it, but it wouldnt be as detailed as this challenge bc BSL is such a popular length it will be too many folks to keep detailed track of.

I can't believe there isn't already an APL 2012 or BSL floating around already.
 
Well... After a month of PSing in two mini buns, I was finally able to gather my dense 4b/a hair into one mini bun (with the front out to minimize hairline tension of course).

I vaguely remember one of the longhairs in the Bunning challenge talking about how people used to make fun of her "little ball" when she first started bunning. Now, her bun is like :lick:

I hope to be there one day. But for now, I loves my little baby bun...:spinning:





Ok, I need to go to bed now. I'm about to fall over onto the keyboard..

Nope. No APL or BSL 2012 anywhere to be seen.
 
Ok I'm just in here rambling cuz the board is soooo quiet. Or at least the hair section.

So I've been thinking about my next length check, and I have decided in the future I will do all length checks in the front of my body and not in the back for no other reasons is because it's easier and I can see it. :yep:

Now I'm debating whether I will do future length checks with my hair twisted? stretched but not straightened? or straightened? Ok I know... For the APL check I will do all 3 and then I will pick the one I like the best and use that method in the future.

With my hair twisted right now the back of my hair reaches to my color bone. So it looks like I have 1.5 to 2 " to APL. I will probably chop off another inch before December. So we will see how close I am. Sounds like a plan. :yep:

I was thinking the same thing!! I think I'll do stretched but not straightened. I kinda like the results I'm getting from not using any heat whatsoever on my hair so I'm gonna stick with it until the end of the year when I do my big reveal (or not so big reveal) lol

I want to straighten at the end of the year to wear my hair to a party and swang it. I've danced with these people for 2 years and they have never seen my hair out. But I'm just imagining going to the party with swanging hair and leaving out looking like Buckwheat ... O'tay. :blush:

And what if I straighten it and its not swangin :sad:

And your reveal is going to be big. :yep: I just know it.
 
Everyone is soo close to APL except me :(
I have to ask this, how tall are you ladies. I still have exactly 3 inches to APL since my last length check in June and my hair seemed a little longer.

Im only 5.6.

I'm 5' 6" as well. My neck is long but the distance from my shoulder to my armpit is short. I really think it is a max of 3" from the top of my shoulder to my armpit. So it took me forever to get from NL to SL but SL is close to APL on me.

I'm only 5"2, but I think this is my scenario as well. NL to SL took FOREVER. I think I have a longer neck, plus the fact that the back of my hair was/is heavily layered (I had kind of a layered bob look, in the first pic in my siggy, the bottom layers were only like 1 to 1.5 inches long).

But full SL to APL is really only like about 2 inches or so. So I knew if I could just hit full SL, the rest *should* be smooth sailing. After APL, BSL is prob like another 3 inches, MBL 2-3 more, etc. The other lengths are pretty close.
 
Ok, see I'm the exact opposite. I have a short neck. But the distance between top of my shoulders to APL is a good 6 inches. I'm 5'6 as well.

Ok, forget that measurement. I must have been smokin weed or something. Took out the official measuring tape and it is more like 5".

Speaking of measuring NikkiQ, did you go to the store to get the stuff for your T-shirt?

I'm too lazy to make one
