**** 2009 Year End Photos **** Add your pics here

[ceebee3]

I haven't straightened my hair in a while but I'm just hoping that I'm back to where I was in July after losing 2 inches. It sucks being 4 months behind your goal but some progress is better than none.

We shall see. I'll update with a pic in December.

 

[Spongie Bloom]

Mine is in my siggy...the second 5/09 and the 3rd I made my goal of APL 11/09, but quickly trimmed it off shown in the last pic

I don't have a timeframe within which I want to reach my goal, but eventually I'd like to reach WL. One thing I want to try to do for the winter is protective style, which I never do.

Well my photos aren't phenomenal but progress is progress i guess... I did meet one of my goals, which was cbl. If only APL didn't seem to take forever....

November 26, 2008 --> April 2009 --> July 2009 --> November 25, 2009

GREAT PROGRESS!!!!!!

[Optimus_Prime]

I don't expect too much for 2009; 2010 is the year that I hope to make wl.
But, I still wanna participate.
Savin' ma spot.

This is my spot.

 

[Honey Bee]

Wow, there's some beautiful hair in this thread. I almost feel bad even posting up in here, but my pics are in my siggy. I had a few set-backs this year, but I think I'm back on the right path. I should reach my initial goal sometime in the first half of 2010, and then I can concentrate on growing out these bone-straight ends.

I don't have any pics of my hair straightened or stretcehd out. But you can tell my growth by how big my puff is now compared to 2 months after I BC'ed.

Here are my year end pics. This is the longest my hair has EVER been.

Thank you Official APL in 2009 Challengers and the knowledgeable ladies of LHCF!!!

 

[Stella B.]

Great idea OP!! I'm saving my spot right now, cause I'll be back with my progress shots in about a month.


Just added my comparison pics. My goal was to achieve healthy thick SL by the end of 2009. Looks like I surpassed the SL goal, and made it to APL!!!! (Don't know when that happened!!) I didn't meet my healthy thick goal, so I'll be cutting my scraggly ends back to SL, and we'll see what happens by this time next year. It's been a good 2009! I now have hair in places where I only had skin before. Just check out my neckline from 2008 to now. Woohoooo, I'm making progress!

ETA: I don't have any straight hair pictures from this time last year, so I'm doing a couple of curly-to-curly comparison shots.

Imperfect comparison of straight hair (first pic was a candid of my wet hair at the beginning of my transition). Not much gain in length, but I've been trimming as my transition progresses.

correction - 3.5 in trimmed is probably more accurate

 

[Triniwegian]

Beautiful heads of hair and amazing progress.
I won't be posting my pic cuz I don't want to embarras ya'll....sike!!
I am not at your ladies level yet, but the inspiration tells me I will be some day.

Thanks for sharing your progress ladies!!

I don't think I made much progress, but I will be back with updates in a few weeks.

 

[F8THINHIM]

I'm saving my spot! My siggie is from May 2009, and I've pretty much been PS through the last half of the year. I will be done with a five month stretch by the end of December and will hopefully have some progress!
Great thread and wonderful pictures so far!
