APL 2012 Challenge

My texture can be a bit dysfunctional at times. I'm mostly 4a but I have hardly any curl pattern in my crown and 3b curls by my ears.

Ladies I'm going to clarify tonight. Do you think its counterproductive to pre-poo prior to clarifying? I'm just wondering since clarifying is going to remove everything from my hair anyway.

TIA!

IDK. I would probably either do an oil rinse or DC afterwards instead of the pre-poo
 
I need to be in this challenge for my new growth :yep: :grin:

I have reached shoulder length for my new growth and hoping for APL by this years end! :woohoo2:

OKay I have been totally neglectful in posting my updates. Please forgive me ladies. I've been busy with school, work, etc.

Please see below for my June update! :grin: Wearing wigs and protecting/hiding my hair has really paid off.

Thanks so much. Yes I'm newly natural (Again), just chopped my ends in June.
 
My last trim (June 30) put me above APL, hoping that my MN mix and no heat since then will put me back where I was by the next time I check my length (in a week or so).
 
Ahhh a rainy and cloudy Monday morning. What to do, what to do? Maybe I'll browse YT to see if I can find some more styles that I can try out...that are easy of course b/c Lord knows I'm incredibly style challenged.

Go for it!!
 
Its rainy and gloomy here as well. Not touching my hair again today (i did a lot of that yesterday) I M&S this morning with SM CES and added so vatika oil:) hair very soft and happy
 
Decided to keep this set of Celies in until Sunday or Monday. Depends on what we have going on this weekend. If we go to this slip n slide party, then these suckers are staying in!!! :lol:

Might cowash and ATTEMPT a wash n go for a few days or slap this mess back in a ponytail like before.
 
so u know its on like donkey kong lmao ordering a huetiful hair and face steamer as we speak and the junkie in me is ordering a 16oz trigger hair elixer just for the sake of trying
 
I washed and DC'd my hair for the first time in a month. Got my lace front. Can't wear it yet because I'm working in a kitchen. Can't be wearing any 18/20inch wig. LOL
 
Oh my goodness my Darcy's Botanicals Transitioning Creme arrived. Of course I dropped everything I was doing and went to go M&S my hair. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The smell is so light and faint I couldn't smell it until i basically stuck it up my nose.

I parted my hair in 4 sections and then within each section I applied the transitioning creme like a relaxer. When I finished the section I put a little bit on the lengths and on my ends. I sealed with hairveda vatika frosting.

After I did 2 sections (half my head) I noticed a big difference. My newgrowth was soft and wavy on the moisturized side but crunchy and dry on the other side. I really couldn't believe it. I finsihed my whole head and I put it up with a clip.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT and I think If I M&S like this every night then I will have much better retention. Anyways... I'm still waiting for my shescentit moisture mist to come in the mail. My goal is to mist the hair lightly before using transitioning creme and then sealing.

APL, HERE I COME!

I haven't done any official length checks but I'm very sure that I'm APL. I won't claim full APL because I haven't straightened in months but when I pull pieces in the back they definitely reach APL. Today I got my hair braided and my braided (who I use exclusively and LOVE went on and on about how my hair had grown and that I am very close to needing to use synthetic hair as opposed to human hair (I have large micros). I will do an official length check when I take these out in 6-8 weeks though. I've been stalling for months because I don't want to be disappointed and I'm slightly behind schedule. I planned to be APL by the start of summer, latest.
 
Guyaneek now you know you can't tell us you're gonna give us a pic that far away!!!! We're gonna make sure you post them in 6-8 weeks. Let the countdown begin! :lol:
