My hair plans were spolied this weekend. I wanted/needed to DC but a migraine kept me from moving all of Saturday and Sunday. I don't feel like it but I'll do it tonight when I get home since I'm feeling better.

I love how active this thread is!! NikkiQ I love your twist!

So barring a major setback, I should hit apl soon!
I've been redoing my braids "nonie-style", and I decided to flat iron a section out of curiosity.
I'm actually closer to apl than I thought.

Looked at my ends today and saw splits...like I never trimmed them...urghh.

I think the fact that I cut them with any available pair of scissors may be contributing. Gotta get some quality shears.
 
I think while my hair is in twists, I'm gonna dust my ends. they look pretty good, but I have a few straglers.
 
Ok so I washed my hair, DC'd and now I'm roller setting, to straighten tomorrow. It's been a year since I've straightened, and last time I was at neck length or something. Hopefully I'll be apl or close to it ! Pictures to come , yo!
 
Posting this for my own inspiration.

I'll be 23+ months post relaxer at the end of this challenge so it's doable!!:yep: Even if I only hair about 5 inches of hair now (not counting my relaxed ends:spinning:).


It's very doable!!! I'll be 2 years post relaxer on April 23rd (is it bad that I remember the exact date) but only a year natural on Feb 25th. I can't wait to see what my hair is like after being natural for 2 years!!!
 
I would like to join.

@GIJane you look like you're grazing APL already!

NikkiQ I am not quite there yet. I think because I had my hands on my hips it looks that way. I have about a inch to get there. Trust me. I hope to get there soon. I consider myself a slow grower. I started back on my vitamins. So we shall see how this pans out. As long as I keep babying my ends. I should hit APL by March. And hopefully BSB/BSL by the end of the year. I hope.

@esi.adokowa My hair doesn't quite reach APL when it has been flat iron. My sides are .75 from my arm pits plus my hair grows in a W. I put myself on a no heat regimen until the end of deployment. So I will not know until I relax in March/April. :wallbash: I have a tattoo on my arm at the level of my armpits. So once my sides fall well below that then I would feel comfortable claiming APL. :yep:

Coloring ._. I have a bit of a color obsession, gonna Manic panic the back of my hair and rebleach the front to a lighter color in December/Jan, since I'm not loving the orange and then thats it!>< No more color for quite a while...
Thats about the only change I need to make.

Post a beginning picture
Will do.

Me too!
So encouraging and fun! :grin:
 
Realistically, how many inches of hair minimum on average do you need at the beginning of January 2012 to make APL by December 2012? I'm thinking of joining this challenge, but wondering if I have enough hair to make it.
 
Time to put my hair back on lockdown! Called my hairbraider and got an appt for tomorrow! Crown and Glory method in full effect! Grow! Retain! Grow! Retain! :weird:

From my ears downward, I need about 12-13 inches. So very conservatively, I'd say you need 6" in January to make it to 12" by December (accounting for a growth and retention of 0.5" monthly.)

I think it really depends on a few different factors...growth rate, height, etc.
