Quick Question
Some of you may think this is a dumb question but I can't keep it in much longer.
When you are determining the length of your hair, are you going based off of the lower back/longest layer? For example, my hair on the sides are jaw bone length (when stretched) and the back reaches the base of my neck..Can I claim neck length??

Re: Quick Question
I go by the majority. If my nape hairs are at APL, I'll say I'm grazing APL. When the majority of the hair in back and on the sides hit APL, then I will claim full APL. I like to be obviously that length, or I feel like I'm trying to claim victory with 5 hairs.

Re: Quick Question
Not really, especially if you have a v or u shape cut...when you reach apl if all of you hair isn't apl then some would say you're apl but not full apl. For me all it takes is one strand  In real life people are not dissecting your length like on a hair board...thank goodness

I had that same question; especially when sum people say one person is apl but the other person is not and their both at the same lengths. I say I'm apl because the front and back of my hair can go securely in my armpit  without tugging.

That's how i feel....if your hair touches it...then that's your length. I'll say im scraping, tho, if my l longest layer literally scrapes at the next length.
