In December 06, I was ear length in the back and below ear, but not neck length on the sides. By December 07 I was past shoulder length. I'm hoping to be full APL or longer by December 08.

When I joined here I was close to APL now my longest layers are getting close to BSL but I'm transitioning and my ends are suffering through this process

Last year in March I was chewed up ear/neck length. Now I'm almost touching APL!!!!!!!!!!!
I will relax after 13 weeks on Sat., so maybe I'm touching it now, WOO HOO!

Started Aug 2006 at mid-neck
Now about two inches from full apl
The left side of my head is very prone to breakage and grows very slowly so I've had to cut the right side several times to keep things even. I could have been well past apl if It weren't for that. Have to be greatful because this is the longest my hair has ever been.
My end goal is mid-back...

I started with a pixie cut(pic in my profile) and now i am about 2 ins. from shoulder...and i have cut at least three inches of horrible ends that just had to go since i joined lhcf.So i could have bee shoulder length,with jacked up ends by now
. My last trim was two days ago,and now i feel like i'm going to be able to go without one for a while.
I started my out growing out my pixie about June of last year

Wow, that is what I call inspiration for me! soemetimes I feel it's not possible, that it's not going to happen for me. I even perpetuate the myth myself that Black hair can't grow....I guess I get discouraged sometimes! I feel a little more confident now. Thanks for sharing.

I started off with hair that was a little below Ear length in December 2007.
I made it past SL in January 2009. Had a setback which left me back at a little above NL in March 2009.
I've made it back to a little past SL January 2010 with hopes of hitting APL at the end of this year.
