I just HAD to bite another thread like this one that ends this month ;) I know there are a ton of shoulder length ladies out there right now that will hit apl or longer by the end of the year 07 with the right techniques (patience, water, vit's, no heat, etc) for THEM.

So, I'm putting it out there now so you have a few weeks to stop all your naughty habits:lol:.

Anyone that joins can you please post a pic of your hair as a starting point?

Edited to add list of participating ladies: If you don't see your name on the list please pm me and I will add. There are a lot of posts and I might have missed you by mistake

Hi :) You should be able to just paste the url into your message no?
 
Im in, here is my starting pic. Now I just have to get serious about my vitamins, etc. Im really bad at being consistent with that.

I am in. I am posting a picture of my current length. The picture is just after shampooing. I want to post a picture of my hair straight but I am using heat only in emergencies (ie special occasions). Are you girls going to change anything in your regimen to get to APL?

 
Hello ladies:wave:

I wanna get in on this:D: But I dunno if I will make full APL in 6 months though...... But I'm gonna try

My starting pic is in my siggy:)

I plan on limiting my use of heat (flat iron and blow dryer). I will airdry and wear more rollersets. Also, be more consistent with my vits. Im currently taking a flinstone vitamin and flaxseed oil. :grin:
 
I'm in! This pic is from Feb. (i've been in sewins since) but I really hope to be APL by the end of 2007!

I am taking the oil of olay multivitamin and the gnc hair skin and nails. So far I have been doing the combo for like a month and my nails are really growing fast. I just started baggying so I will keep that up and no direct heat. I just learned how to roller set but I am even going to limit those too (it's too hot here to wear your hair down anyway).
 
Im going to get more consistent with my vitamins (a multi, b complex, biotin, and msm), order some BT and start using that, and increase my protein intake.

Other than that, Ill continue with my wash n go's focusing on retaining moisture....but Ill put it in a clip unless Im wearing something that my hair wont brush up against (like a tank top). Im getting over that shoulder length hurdle and am having problems with it brushing my clothing even in its shrunken state. Gotta retain those ends to get to full armpit length. When and if I reach armpit length, that will be the longest my hair has ever been in my adult life and then Ill have no doubt in my mind that I can reach brastrap!:)
 
I'm in! I took the picture in my signature on June 5th. I will continue my normal routine of protective styling, moisturizing and sealing 2x per day, limiting use of the brush, washing once per week, stretching my relaxer, and airdrying.
 
I'm in. :) This pic is from the end of April. I have dusted since then. :( I am really trying to make it by December if I can. :)

 
I want to join this challenge, since I didn't make any progress since the other six month apl challenge. My hair's been at a standstill for years since I have to trim off splits like crazy. I think what was causeing it was underprocessing my hair and general lack of moisturizing properly. Anyway, now that I'm figuring out what's working and what's not I think I have a good chance at making it finally.

you have June of 08 as your AP goal, but Im sure u will make it way before then, u may even make brastrap by June 08 bc its about a year away! Im sure u can make AP by december!:)
 
Im in!!! I didnt make it to APL by June but I knew it was a longshot so here is where I am now. Hopfully by Nov. I will hit APL and then my sides by the end of December.....fingers crossed:)

I'm in. My starting pick is in my avi from May. I had plans to make it to APL by May 08 but I'll give it a shot by doing a 6 month challenge. I will be taking Viviscal to boost my growth, and if it keeps working the way it is now, then I may reach my goal by my birthday (Dec. 7th). If not, then it's always a good experience to have and I am sure this challenge will still put me closer to my goal!
 
Hey everyone, I am a long time lurker that would like to join the 6mth APL July-December Challenge.. I will upload pics & add them this week.. I look forward to chatting with everyone, until then HHG.

Hair stats:
4b
I am currently a little past shoulder length
3 week post
 
I'm in, I have cornrows in right now so it'll be at least two weeks before I can post a current picture.

ETA

Picture's from July 9,2007
