DC'ing with Dove Intensive Repair conditioner and Pantene R&N conditioner. Sealed with JBCO/EVCO and baggying. My routine will change soon when I get all my regular products, I'm kind of using substitutes right now. I can't wait to get my Aphogee, SD, and Hair Trigger. Still searching for a good protective style. I'm a lil style challenged lol.

@BEAUTYU2U Please add me :) I'm excited about joining; this is my first challenge!

Current hair length: SL/Almost CBL

Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning: Relaxed

Goal Month: December 2013

Current Reggie and styling choices: Right now I wash my hair every week. I alternate each week between co washing and washing with shampoo. I clarify at least once a month. I plan on trying cassia in a couple of weeks. I've been protective styling my hair under a half wig since about July 2012, and have been getting great results, so I plan on continuing this until at least July 2013. I usually plait my hair under the wig. I moisturize and seal my hair about 2-3 times during the week, just depending on what I feel my hair needs. My hair will only allow me to stretch 8 weeks in between relaxers for now. I get my stylist to trim my ends with every other relaxer....what I mean is I'll go one 8 week stretch, get a touch up and will not get a trim. Then I will go another 8 week stretch, get a touch up and get a trim.

What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?: The only thing I plan on doing is trying cassia and if that goes well, I will incorporate that into my reggie. I am also working on limiting the amount of heat I use on my hair. I was blowing drying and bumping my hair with a curling iron with every wash. I now plan on limiting my heat to maybe once a month (if that).

Please sign me up......yet again :( I'm in braids, but I'll be taking them put in about a week or so. After that I'll be wigging it until February. I'll take pictures so that I can get an accurate picture of where I'm at.

Did an extremely light dusting on Monday night of barely ¼ of an inch (if that much) then M&S w/ Elasta QP Olive & Mango Butter & EVCO. I love dusting, it keeps the ends so much healthier looking! Tuesday night I oiled my scalp w/ Castor oil and pre-poo’d the rest of my hair w/ Grapeseed oil because I’ll be doing my clarifying tonight when I get off. As usual, wigged it out today & will continue to do so until i can get my hair up in a bun hehee!
 
I bought 2 new short wigs to PS until my bday in February. I got a bob with side swept bangs and the other is a pixie cut.
 
:wave: Hi ladies!! Just wanted to pop in and say hi. You guys are doing great already and 2013 hasn't even started! There's gonna be a lot of APL Divas in here very soon :yep:
 
1. Current hair length: PAST SL (I might be like two inches away from APL)

2. I am TRANSITIONING from relaxed to natural.

3. April-June 2013(Goal month lol I am undecided)

4. I need one actually since I just started my journey all over again. I started using rosemary, mix with olive oil and garlic...use this as prepoo(leave it for a few hrs or overnight). It is making my hair look extremely shiny and healthy looking yay.:grin:

* I need a moisturizer, and a deep conditioner among other things. (Will add in the products I will be using once I go and buy them).

5. I am planning on using less direct heat on my hair, I am also planning on taking vitamins and eating healthier.

6. Will be taking a beginning picture in a few.

DON'T DO IT!! I am not knocking down relaxers but I regret getting one. I was relaxed at the age of 8 and I never liked relaxers because no matter what I do they always BURN, my scalp just can't take them. So then after finding out about hair care through hair forums, I started taking care of my jacked up relaxed hair. However, I just noticed that my hair just can't take relaxers and no matter what I do, it results in breakage and thin looking hair. So I went natural, my hair was thick and beautiful and NO BREAKAGE whatsoever. But then a year later after getting my natural hair to APL I decided to relax...well let me tell you BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I am back to square one because I have breakage in the front and in my nape area. My hair of course is thin again, not extremely jacked up like it was when I started my hair journey but you get the point. DON'T DO IT GIRL!
 
I just did a cowash with my cheapie suave keratin condish. Now I'm putting 8 inverted cornrows. I'll most likely be wearing my bob wig for the week.
 
Will do a roll n tuck for this week. I think I will do a couple months of wigs or extension braids after new years.
