that would be me and my mom....both just past shoulder length...sad but true.
Don't say that....makes me sad but not because of the length....just because of the lack of knowledge.
Personally, we've (women in my whole family!!!) only had a little lower than neck length until my daughter was born (b/w WL-TBL stretched, a bit shorter than BSL unstretched.) I don't know what made me instinctively take great care of her hair and not do the same for my own.
I had locs when she was born, so it didn't occur to me to do the same thing with my hair at first I guess....
Unless we've been taught, we have NO CLUE we can grow long hair.
Shoulder length is amazing, and I am so happy for you! It's wonderful progress!!! I am just about full SL for the first time in my adult life and am so afraid to take my hair out of twists just to look at it because I can't believe it!!!
lol I think I will gain the courage by February - or maybe even mid-January. I can't stand the suspense!!!
I want APL by July. lol I will pass out if it happens...
