I was wondering if there are any longer than APL ladies on this forum who have never had long hair as children.
I have 4b hair that has never been longer than a few inches past SL my entire life, relaxed or natural. My texture is very dense with fine/med strands. Been struggling with my natural hair journey going on 13 years and I still can't get past a few inches beyond SL.
I am starting to wonder if I am one of those rare people with an extremely short terminal length, because neither has my mom who has been natural 6 years. Maybe just beyond shoulder length is in our genes and I should just stop trying for long hair?
So if your hair is longer than APL now how long was it when you were a girl?
What is your hair type?
Have any of your immediate family members (sister, mom) had long hair?
