APL 2012 Challenge

I'm in, but definitely farther away from goal. Got it cut in April to the top of shoulder length. That was a bit more drastic than I wanted, but it needed to be cut.......................
 
I don't know if I should take these twists out now or after I move. Cause I know my hair is gonna be the last thing I want to do. I've been busy packing and I'm not close to done!
 
Pics for me too...and my length check shirt that I made that looks a hot mess

Sent by me from my Android phone.Boom

Hi guys! I would love to join the challenge. I just finished the SL challenge, so APL is my new goal! My one year heat ban is over on Saturday, but I probably won't use heat until next month.

Current hair length
Shoulder Length

Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd
Natural

APL goal month
December 2012

Current Reggie and styling choices
Co-wash weekly w/ Tresseme Naturals.
Deep condition w/ Joico Moisture Recovery.
Leave-in w/ Giovanni SAS + seal w/ oils (coconut,jojoba,castor, peppermint).
Style w/ twists typically using gel or shea butter.

What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?
Remembering to take multivitamins, up my water intake. Work on trying new protective hair styles, attempt to make a bun.:lol:

Fortunately you are not in the same boat as I am. I cut my hair all the way back to nape length in the back and EL for the rest of my hair. I will be doing good to make it to SL by the end of the year. I'm only still in this challenge cuz I'm cohosting :look: and I know NikkiQ would give me grief.

Sorry you had to trim so much. Hope you get some good advice to help you recover :yep:

faithVA why am I just now seeing this???! Must've missed it when we were moving. I would never give you grief if you wanted to leave the challenge lady. Do whatever makes you happy. Just know that we'll be here for you if you ever decided to join us again in this challenge or in BSL 2013 next year :yep:

afrofaithful[/USER];16261451]:bighug: everything will get better maybe just get some micros and leave it for a a few months. You're in VA, I know of a braid salon in MD that's really good and reasonable PM me if you're interested and I'll give you the info. I know when I was in the in between stage I stayed in twists and micros. I also tried a weave...but we don't speak of that fiasco. :lol:

Thanks for being so sweet. I made an appointment yesterday to get a Deva Cut. It feels like the right decision. I'm really excited. :yay:

Unfortunately I have to wait until August for my appointment :sad: But it will be right around my 2 year LHCF anniversary.
