APL 2012 Challenge

[livinthevida]

Finally done and now I'm tired

Beautiful curls Kerryann

 

[livinthevida]

So I'm just checking in with my hair update. I flat ironed but my hair came out rather puffy so I had to pull for a more accurate measurement. Either way APL is getting closer and I've officially fallen in love with Argan oil I mixed some with my conditioner and omg my hair feels wonderful!

longhairdreaming LOL with your screwface! TOOOO FUNNY!!!!

 

[HighAspirations]

So what length did you cut it to.

You can leave, we will just mention you every week to make you come back in and answer us

I know the BC is new. But you now have a fresh start with healthy hair.

I have a TWA and with shrinkage its a little over an inch
I'll come in every check in. Who knows I might find a Mitch's miracle lol

 

[livinthevida]

I guess I'll wash the hair tonight and do some sort of pic update for you ladies. I'm in a total funk right now. I got rejected for a job that I REALLY wanted in Puerto Rico. This sucks!

No worries NikkiQ! You will find a NEW job you love!

Just think of this as an opportunity to be in a better place while one door closes another will open! CHEERS!

PEOPLE!!! I am getting bored with my braids... give me ideas for me to keep them longer... I truly like how easy it is to manage... but I am having hard time having the same head for 3 months now
diadall ... HELP!!!!

Poutchi how about a braided bun like the one sported by Solange?

Like these pics here:

 

[livinthevida]

Decided to Co wash with Aussie moist and DC with my Homemade jar of everything you could ever think of....Literally.

Added my sister's leave-in (Beyond The Zone Split Mender)
And put my curlformers to use!

This is all in preparation for my mom to put my hair into Box Braids!
I just did a Dominican Blow out and i had to find a way to stretch my hair for these braids... Mommy wanted to blow dry Lisa(my hair) ..uhh No Ma'am!!

LOL ManiiSweetheart! You are a colorful pink sunflower in bloom!

How did your hair turn out after taking down the curlformers?

@highapirations I love your BC, it is so cute. We don't really care about APL all that much in this challenge. We really just like pretty hair. Welcome to the Natural side, resist all urges to straighten your TWA, keep the ends moisturized and enjoy.

This has got to be my favorite thread lol i think this has been the only challenge i really participated in the thread this much

I like side buns and I did a fishtail today.

I know some people like to get curls in them, I prefer them straight. Also get the front tightened. That will help you out a bit.

[Poutchi]

Thank you sooo much... I might give it a boost by doing a braid out this week end... will send in pics

 

[diadall]

Are you all finding that stretching in the front is an indixatiin of length in the back? I am wondering if when I can pull a piece to APL in the front if that means I am APL in the back.

I never have anyone to take the photo while I stretched it.

My front pulls and back pulls are usually somewhat similar in length, but I think that extra bit of shoulder space to cover makes a world of a difference.

Lol, i posted about it so i wouldn't forget or put it off, but no need for hounding, pics are coming now!
This one first that i came across: this is a pic i took March 9 before my little trim, thats my hair below DH's finger, so i was one inch away from APL, oh well, i have hope i'll be back there soon.

diadall, i put marks on the front and back of my length check shirt so i could pull in the front or back and yeah, i find its about the same either way.

 

[Khaiya]

to make this easier for me i have to make 2 or 3 posts, so here goes the first set, just a few of the styles i've tried, some worked, some didnt :
