Ladies here are comparison pictures of January 28 2012 to March 31 2012. I am going with today's pic as my true length as I have the wet hair and bobby pins to see how far my hair extends. The January 28 pic was just after a trim and damp you can see the curls were already reverting to its natural form
Very pretty GaiasDaughter24! & Congratulations! I think you are at APL!I think I'm in this chllange LOL I'm so not good with keeping up with posting. Anyway, I THINK I made APL. I flatironed at the beginning of the month (yeah, I need to drop out of the no heat challange. I needed to dust my ends but was afraid to do so with curly hair). But I still think I'm going to wait to fully claim. My hair's a bit longer now (about 1/2 from BSB) but I wont straighten my hair until June. Here's a pic:
faithVA I second Seamonster your hair is showing great improvement compared to the first picture! From ear to the ends your hair looks thickerWow, you are just sweet. I didn't see any of that in the picture I posted Thank you!
WOW BlkOnyx488 you are almost at APL!Woo hoo Finally First Check in!!!
Ok I didn't make APL the way I want to make APL that is at the Armpit without have to pull my hair down. At first that disappointed me then I realized I had been feeling like my APL didn't look as long as some of the other ladies APL. SO my Goal is to be APL without having to pull my hair down. that may take all year but who cares I know it's growing.
I am happy to report my hair is so much thicker and fuller than it was just 3 months ago, I think the tea rinses are really making a wonderful difference
Keep the updates coming!!!!
Congratulations IndifinableJoli! Good luck to you on making BSL!I wasn't going to do a length check until late April but seeing some of you guys photos made me a little excited and i decided to take down one of my old braids (im wearing wigs ALOT) and see my progress. Well after that 2.5 inch cut in January, i've finally made it back to APL! Which tells me that if i wouldnt have gone to that stylist I could have been BSL or really close ... Anyway good luck ladies!!! I cant wait to see you all progress. This is like the livest thread on LHCF by the way
Thank U NikkiQ! I am getting back to caring for my hair these past few months and have thankfully learned a great deal from all of the amazing ladies here at LHCF!^^What's your reggie like now? Maybe @livinthevida can help out. She's the resident hair thickening pro around here
@Lurkee sorry I think the other ladies can help with this one! I haven't relaxed my hair since college and we all know how that went erplexedI could do with some hair thickening info for relaxed hair too
BTW this thread feels like christmas
diadall I do I really want my hair to fall naturally at APL with little water and possibly zero bobby pins. Such a BIG difference when our curls are dry and bounce back to their natural form compared to wet bobby pin hairSo you want APL without stretching? Because you look like you could be APL if you stretch.
Since seeing your progress photographed, what, if any changes will you be making to your regimen from this point on?Question for ladies who have checked in already:
Since seeing your progress photographed, what, if any changes will you be making to your regimen from this point on?
I think the reason for check-in's shouldn't just be to ogle at hair (although I love doing this), but to take a moment to reflect and see if what you've been doing has been working for you. Or if your progress is to your liking
So, what works, what doesn't, what are you thinking of changing? (products, styles, treatments, etc)
Thanks for sharing and Happy Hair Growing everyone!
Congratulations @IndifinableJoli! Good luck to you on making BSL!

...but...if you see my other posts since January I continue to keep my HHJ reggie simple with gentle scalp massages and using Organic Coconut Oil and roller setting daily with foam rollers. I switched from snap on rollers to foam rollers in February and these are much easier to sleep in with my satin pillow
on my way to the salon to get straightened and cut!
I'll post before and after pictures once she's done.
Lurkee try the foam rollers you may like the results! I've set my hair using the snap on and foam rollers and found the foam rollers give me better volume!Yeah I love coconut oil on my hair but I have not thought of using it on my scalp. I have NJOY's sulphur mix that I use on my thin edges sporadically. I will try the foam rollers for volume but I fear it would only be at my roots and would do little to hide my thin ends while also showing length.

Great progress AryaStarr258! Nice trim too on the endsI've been waiting for this all day, and now that I'm off work, here goes!
This is my starting pic, taken on Dec 17th. It's one of the many pics where I noticed (and hated!) the unevenness of my hair.
I lost about a half inch from my most recent trim this month, BUUUUT the unevenness is mostly gone, y'all!! I might have to push back my goal of APL from April to perhaps August. *shug* C'est la vie.
esi.adokowa you are very close to APL! It looks like you are just grazing the APL edgeso the app kept crashing when i attempted to load pictures from my iPhone...
but here they are!
trying to show where my armpits are, probably not the best shirt to wear for a length check..oh well!
anyway
i think i'm pretty close to apl even after my trim!
it feels so soft and thick.
my stylist is awesome.
there is some amazing apl-length hair in this thread.
but i hope you ladies who have graduated don't think you can just leave...
cause you can't.
apl 2012, ride or die ladies, ride or die.
mami2010 that is great progress in just under a year! I see the most hair growth from your February picture to today! WTG!Well here is my update. I went ahead and straighten my hair just for you ladies! I am so proud of my hair even though it is not were I thought it would be by now. The first pic is when I cut off a lot of bleached ends from my hair May 2011. So glad I decided to cut out the damage.
