lamaria211 - Congratulations! Now it's time for the fun stuff with him!

@blcbuty@ - Have you tried putting the gel on before your workout with a scarf on and trying to keep it on until it drys afterwards (can't remember the details of your original post)? And if that ecostyler gel flakes or if you just want to use something more natural, maybe try KCCC. I LOVE this stuff! That is what I use on a daily basis for my buns. Wet hair, slap some of this stuff on while smoothing my hair back, throw on a scarf for about 20 minutes and BAM...DONE!

I'm not sure how long it is going to take me to get to APL with un-stretched hair. I have some major shrinkage in my nape area and hardly any in my crown area so it seems to look really funny as my top layer are growing out. The crown seems to hang over this curly cliff of a nape. :lachen: Anyway, looking good as far as meeting my APL goal this year for my top layers. I'm excited to see where I am really, come the end of this month.

Dang Poutchi, um, maybe we can let her step through the door before we threaten her and lock her up. :look: :lol:
 
hhmmm my cold is finally getting who is the boss... i am now able to work... thank God...
Sooo... as many of you know... I went to Niger in december/January and I had my hair in super tinny braids... Every one is raving about my hair and I have been wearing it in a losse braid out style for about a month now and everyone is raving about it and ooouwing and aaaahing about it...lol but ofc at the end they always go...how are you going to take that out...being alone in this city ( anyway i am the only person i trust in removing my braids here anyway)... and now I am thinking more and more about it...yes It took 3 people 14 hours to complete that style...how am I gonna do it alone...
well well well... I think I have a plan...
I will start with the middle and take few out every night, finger detangle that section well and put moisturising agents on it and twist it back up and the day after hide it in a nice cute bun (with the remaining braids that are undone) and continue doing that for few weeks until i have only the edges remaining and i will then make sure I have a long 3 days week end ( have those every other week) and then finish it up... et voila...
You guys will probably know about it when that process start cuz i will need you cheering for me not to lose patience over my hair which i usually do when i am taking micro (but trying to do it in one afternoon...).... so yeah, here is my game plan... :)

That sounds like a good game plan to me. It may end up easier than you think. And as you are taking them out you might come up with some other ideas.
 
kupenda Pics ASAP Please, cant quite believe it, but well done! :D

lamaria211 Congrats to you and the family!! I luv it that your updating us still! :grin: He is a dream!

jprayze Why do you need to make some changes? Looks like your doing great?!

Aggie I feel you and Im with you and your game plan, but girl back away from the scissors please!! :look::lol:

I've got my game face on when it comes to my hair; loads of moisture (co-washing), protective styling and buns for 6 months when I end my stretch.

My style for work:

This is my plan to make that last little push before our check. I put my hair into two german braids, and I am leaving them there until the end of May. Hopefully, I will get some good retention. Hope to be able to pull a piece of hair to be confident in grazing on March 31
 
Hey Ladies :hiya2:,

Here is my latest update ... I'm not apl yet but I am getting closer...:yep:

Fyne My avatar is from September 2011 and here it is 6 months later and my hair looks almost the same. :( I thought I was going to be APL by April. So I think I need to be more focused on making better hair decisions.

So, I'm cutting back on heat a lot for the rest of the year, doing more PS, and starting some biotin.

I skimmed through an MN thread. Has anyone in this Challenge ever used it for hair growth before? Results? TIA
 
hey ladies. im so glad spring is here. nice weather= wash n gos. looking for the perfect gel to get that going. uping my cowashes to at least once a week.

I dont know I see more thickness! :yep: I'm with you on cutting back on heat, this was when my hair started taking off.

I'm scared of the long term effects of MN but it does work apparently, maybe some ladies who have used it can chime in.
 
I've been lurking on this thread since February. Can I officially join. I need serious help

@Aggie, I wouldn't call it a progress shirt :lol: Its a raggedy something but it does what I need. I just started at the top and drew an 1" line every 1/2 inch. I did this on both sides in the front. Each month I measure, I write the month on the line on the shirt.

I just plan on using it until I get to APL. Once I can pull my hair in the back, I won't bother. Right now I can only pull my hair to the front.

Because it wasn't ever going to be seen by anyone I just used a sharpie.

I think other ladies on here have made their own progress shirts.

Thanks faithVA. Looks like Ima be needin' a sharpie:grin:
