I'm new! have abbr ?'s and measurement ?'s
Feb 11th, 2008 at 11:12pm
 
Hello all!  I am priveleged to be amongst Rapunzel Royalty as I have been lurking for a while, but finally all of my burning questions prompted me to join!

I have brown hair past shoulders, but about 2 inches above bra-strap (is that what BSL means? bra-strap length or below-shoulder length?).  It's pretty thin - someone on another website described it perfectly - wet seaweed on a rock!  i have about 2 inches of layers on the bottom which I-know-I-need-to-cut-it BUT don't-want-to-lose-the-length!

I am working toward no cones, no parabens, no SLS, etc (I'm a bit of a green freak).  I have a some OJON volumizing stuff that I received as a gift so I feel guilty ditching it, but otherwise I love Aubrey Organics.  I CWC about 2x per week.  I've tried CO but my hairline gets greasies that I can't deal with.

I use jojoba and coconut oils when I oil.  Need a good natural detangler though (already posted that on AU Naturel).

Can anyone help with how to measure?  Also, does anyone here use the coding system for hair color, length, diameter of ponytail, etc.?  It's a series of letters and numbers I've seen at the bottom of some of the posts.  I looked it up about a year ago and thought I bookmarked the site, but I did a search again recently and cannot find any info on it.  Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome Naturegirl!

I'm at work and can't round up the location of the hair definitions.  I don't use them myself, but I am familiar with them.  Maybe someone else can pop in with the URL before I can.

BSL does mean bra strap length.  That seems to be a major goal for many long-hair wannbe's.  I'm sure you will reach that length before you know it, especially with the good care you seem to be giving your hair.

I look forward to getting to know you better!

Welcome aboard, Naturegurl.  Smiley

BB's right - BSL = bra strap length. I just reached it at the beginning of this month and I have very fine hair like you.

For measuring, you just take a fabric tape measure, line the beginning of it (where the metal tip is) up with your hairline and run the tape measure up over your head and down your back. Where your hair stops is your measurement. You'll need 2 separate mirrors or an extra person to help with this. I stand in front of my bathroom mirror and use a hand mirror so I can read the numbers on the tape measure.
