I have taken some progress pictures as of today because I really didn't think my hair grew that much. My goal is APL, but it just seems that it is taken longer than I expected. It's been a year since the last set of pictures. It looks like it will take me another year to reach my goal. I need to be more strict with my routine. Like for example, deep condition twice a week instead of once and keeping my hair oiled - my hair seems to love this - less breakage. My next relaxer is not until Dec - 21 week stretch. Does anyone else have this same issue regarding slow growth from SL to APL?
