APL 2012 Challenge

Anyone have any wet bunning tips and tricks/advice for apl hair? Thinking I will wet bun the summer away and then hide my hair
 
This was my hair June 2011 when I joined LHCF. hairprogress.jpg Looking at my March 2012 siggy, there's not much difference.

It didn't have to take me a year to get from SL to APL, but I was clueless about how to care for my hair. All I was doing was getting blowouts and not really doing anything to my hair in between.

Thanks so much ladies for your support. I've learned so much right here in this thread, so it won't take me 1 yr to get from APL to BSL.:grin: I guess I'll go post in the BSL Challenge now...

There is much difference! Your hair is longer and healthier:) see you in the bsl challenge
 
:hiya: I've been missing sooo long but I'll be present for my check-in. Congrats to everyone who's made it!

I've been on auto-pilot so I'm not sure how much I've grown since the last check-in. We shall see!
 
Omg I just got my LCL dryer!!! I'm so excited...I can't wait for my daughter to go to sleep so I can check this thing out!!!! I'm currently pre pooing with some oils, honey and a hair mask, was going to wash, deep conditiong and air dry but I'm definitely going to roller set now! I'll update y'all on how it works
shesheshe22 your hairs so thick and pretty, and your close to APL, you'll be there in no time!
 
Since I started swimming, I have been air drying a lot more. Unfortunately, it means I poo :giggle: at least twice a week (after each session) to get the chlorine out. Wanted to share what will be my summer style - an air-dried pony. Hopefully will reach full APL by December with no set backs and lose 10 pounds too. :look:

jprayze, you got very good progress. This was my hair 1 yr 3 months ago and I am yet to reach my goal. I am not complaining but saying you should be proud. :yep:

Wow that's a lot of people that want to dye their hair black,but I gotta be the oddball out and go red...again :lachen:

Sent by me from my Android phone.Boom
 
I tried red, Mary j bilge red the box said. Yeah, well my head just looked ashy brown on the ends in the light.

Sent from my iPhone using LHCF
 
^^^I tend to go for super bright red dyes/stains and then end up with the perfect shade since I'm dying on caramel brown hair most of the time. Well now it's still slightly red so I'm curious to see what the bright red looks like.

Are u using swimmers poo? Or regular?
 
Haven't been in here like I should. This has been a busy month for me. Daughter turned 2 on the 9th, my bday on the 15th, cousin today, cousin on the 22nd grandma would've beeon the 27th and mom on the 28th. Been doing nothing but celebrating and planning, planning and celebrating. But I managed to take pics of my hair for the check-in before I went into my PS for the next 2 months. After my setback a few months ago I'm proud to say my hair is back where it left off. I had lost some hair and had to cut off some more due to damaged ends but it's back to collar bone length or a little past it so I'm not out just yet. I can tell it's still growing though cause my puff is getting bigger. Still trying to get together a good regimen for my hair. @NikkiQ your progress has been my inspiration. What has your reggie been like since having your hair cut a few months back to now cause your progress is amazing! On to the pics

^^Protective style that I'll be in for the rest of this month and July hopefully. I tend to miss my hair when it's put away.

Me??! Oh wow :blush:. I'm incredibly flattered. I didn't think my progress would inspire anyone. I've been shampooing every week or every 2 weeks if I'm in Celies or twists. I've really been on a low maintenance reggie since the cut. No really. DC whenever I shampoo for at least an hour. Detangle and put back in twists or braids and slap on a wig. Wore my hair out every blue moon in puffs, twist outs, or braid outs. I just started using an MN mix last month and it's been helping a bit. But that's it. Nothing major at all. I hope this can help. Thank you so much for saying that my progress is an inspiration to you. That really does mean a lot :yawn:

Thanks for replying. Lol, yes your hair is an inspiration because you did very well in those short few months. I thought about trying wigs. It shouldn't be much different from my sew-ins except that I'd have more/better access to my hair. Might give wigs & those celies a try. Thanks again ma'am!
 
Still awaiting wet bunning advice. I checked the archives, but I want some info from ladies with similar length
