APL 2012 Challenge

I'm a DC addict. I think I'm compulsive. I've dc three times this past week for around 12 hours under a wig. My hair is sooooo soft but I know I shouldn't overdo it.

I think I got the idea from you and your right they work great ill never use a towel again:)
 
I did a practice run on my hair for the two strand twist. They look ok but I don't know about wearing them out just yet. If I complete in time I will post pics on monday.

Also I did a strand test and the results were pretty good. My hair is not damage. I then did the stretch test and I'm not too sure what it means. It stretches but doesn't really go back to its shape. I'm going to look it up as soon as I finish my sushi :)

Omg, i have been doing same, and i was wondering if it was better than a t-shirt. My daughter is going to be 2 and no longer uses these blankets, so they are my go to on wash days :grin:
 
My hair is sooooo soft I don't want to stop touching it! Im so inlove with this new DC I hope I can find a equal BOB product when I start looking. Next week I plan on doing another egg treatment and following up with the same DC that I used today. I just finished applying a little bit more leave in and Vatika oil which I'm equally in love with. Tonight I might add a touch of EVOCO to my ends and scalp then rebun till tomorrow :)
Happyhairday!

@claud-uk How did I miss that post?? Wonderful progress!! 3 inches, girl bye!
I can only get 3 inches in 6 months :nono: And yes I thought you were trying to slip under the radar there for a second LOL

@Onhergrind09 Well done! Your pony :notworthy

@livinthevida I use WGO on my scalp im experimenting with that and castor oil + scalp massages every other day...Does the smell not bother you on your fresh rollerset? I'm one to talk I put garlic and onion oil in my oil mix :lachen:

@HighAspirations Wow 3 months BC! Did you transtition?

sorry this is so late
but nope no transistion for me...it was very spur of the moment
 
I washed with that Motions moisturizing curls cleanser...and it wasn't very moisturizing (LOL) but it's okay to cleanse with and I guess it's gentler than regular shampoo, so...I'll use it (it's only once a week anyway). I followed up with conditioning mixture and a heavy moisturizer, twisted and sealed with JBCO. I am pretty sure, unfortunately, that I will not make APL by my goal month of September. The back of my hair just seems to be coming up short, partially breakage, partially growing slower than the rest of my hair.

I also will be getting my first trim in almost 2 years next month, so who knows how much she'll take off? I am going to shoot for December...I'll be the only one left! LOL
 
Day 1 of wash day is done. Hair has been detangled and braided with a butt load of DC on it. Now sitting with the conditioning cap on under a silk bonnet and bandana.

I am hoping to graduate from this class in Dec. Some days I feel that I will have to repeat this class in the New Year.:sad:

You can me both chica.

I have my hair braided up and will hide it under wigs from now till December. It's great for keeping me from doing spontaneous length checks all the time. :grin: So I'm going to get that trim and I think I have found the stylist to do it. It's probably going to end up being more a cut but, whatever, it'll grow back. :look:
 
Come on ladies. Don't give up hope! You all have been doing a great job taking care of your hair. You will make it to APL before you know it. Just stay positive.

I live your curls.
 
Since transitioning my hair has been dry. I been reading blogs about this same issue. I remember when I was in extreme hot weather, I used Paul Mitchel The conditioner and coconut oil. Perfect combination.

However I don't want to buy anything else right now. So I bought a jar of coconut oil and dump some V05 MM conditioner in it. Moisture Heaven and shine.

Will keep posted on this.
 
I've been mia from this thread for awhile (real life has gotten in the way!!), but am trying to get back on top of my hair game, and i think I'm close to reaching APL, yay!! Pics below are from yesterday, hopefully (touch wood) I can claim APL by the time of my next touch up in September..

p.s. NikkiQ - I LOVE the pic in your siggy!!! Could literally stare at it for days :grin:

I'm fully preparing to repeat this class. My hair is growing out to its thickness potential before length.

HighAspirations - I need some of your courage! :yep:

The Princess Glad you found something that works, I still struggle with the dryness some days :nono:

NikkiQ - Do you have product on those curls? and I cant seem to take my eyes off your siggie pic!!

Nat1984 - Lovely progress, no doubt you will be APL in Sept, I think your there already!

jprayze - You and your niece look so cute!!

NikkiQ and @Fyne - Thanks ladies!! I think I'm very close, and probably there in the front, but at the back it only looks APL when I'm tugging it so holding out just a bit longer before claiming it - hopefully all goes well between now and Sept!

Agreed!!! Take a break from length checks if needed. I stopped for a while and it helped me.
