APL 2012 Challenge

^^^they still look good to me @jprayze

Thanks! I would keep them in another week but I want to do a bun for my job interview on Monday.

 

[NikkiQ]

Will you get them again in the future or was this a one time thing?

Good question. I think they are a great PS, but they weren't my fave...mostly because it would look better if my hair was thicker and fuller.

I realised something. My ends in the back that i thought were frizzy - aren't. Their curly! I'm gonna guess that some time I undersprocessed that area ( as I tend to do) and now is grown out. I only realised now my hair is better moisturised. It's curly. Damn! So all those times I've been trimming...

Yea my ends are under processed to. Their frizzy tho but I wish they were curly.

What do you ladies do when your ends are under processed?

Sent from my Android...Boom.

 

[Carmelella]

For some reason, most likely because I know I won't be seeing my mother for a few months and she's the only only one I trust to be as gentle and careful while relaxing my hair as I would be, I was itching to relax and I did it last night at 11 weeks, here are my results.

I hope to god this isn't what is considered APL, because then I got a LONG LONG way to go :cries: my front needs to get fuller/ longer to get a pony that thick. My bangs hit my middle lip(past top lip). But my front sides are thinner and shorter. Sigh. I need a weave ASAP so that I can stop obsessing. Bout to order some senghori shells now.

Lol Carmelella she's been APL for a hot minute now. She'll be BSL soon.

NikkiQ I don't see myself doing anything. Certainly not a corrective. I never wear my straight without heat anyway. I'm just happy I can go back to dusting rather than trimming

Maybe you can try what I did. Dc my hair for several hours 3/4 times a weeks. Maybe the curls would come out to say hello

 

[NikkiQ]

We got some DC addicts up in here

 

[Blairx0]

Dc'ING is the best. I am doing a one hour honey and olive oil treatment now

 

[TheNDofUO]

NikkiQ I can't help it, even I when I don't DC - I simply co-wash

 

[NikkiQ]

Storm is rolling in ladies. I'll be around as much as I can. Heck I might DC my Celies like all my DC junkies in here while I work on making my jewelry

Sent from my Android...Boom.

Dc and relax. Deep conditoning is food for the hair and the soul

 

[NikkiQ]

DC,drink and relax. You forgot a very important part of that lol

 

[Blairx0]

Didn't know I had to mention drinking that should be a given.

For right now I'm just gonna flat iron that part. And when i go for my next touch up in October she'll probably correct that part because she said she didn't do my ends my last touch up because she didn't want to over process me since another stylist had did my relaxer before that. Now she thinks she should have.

Relax your ends??
I just sprayed on wen 613 mist and sealed with coconut oil

 

[MrsJaiDiva]

I'm excited for my birthday length check, next week!

 

[TheNDofUO]

When you say 'drink' what kind of drink do you mean?

 

[Blairx0]

A drink with some drank in it of course

 

[itsjusthair88]

@itsjusthair88 ill be right here with you! don't give up yet!

@lovebug10 Thanks it feels good not to be the only one!

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.

@JazzyOleBabe If we have to repeat in 2013, then that's we have to do, as long as we keep at it!

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. 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.

@Meritamen It WILL grow back, that's the right attitude to have!

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.

Sent from my Android...Boom.

Thanks @NikkiQ I'm not really feeling down I just want to hurry up and get to it, I know after the APL hump everything will be easier, my final goal is WSL, I just want to hurry up and get there! LOL


I have decided I am going in for the big trim next Friday, with a press/straighten; I will wash and do an overnight DC on Thursday night and go into the shop first thing Friday morning.

 

[pookaloo83]

Yeah I don't think I'm gonna make it this year either.

Thanks. Actually, I did a check tonight and I'm APL. I'm not a ninja since this will be very short lived. I'm getting that trim which will set me back some -- I accepted that before the fact and am unchanged. All that whining, moaning and groaning I did for the past year in 50 million threads and when I saw my hair brush up on my towel at the APL mark I simply felt calm. Nice to be here and I know I'll be back to it soon enough.

Yea cuz that part has been under processed since I started relaxing in may.

lamaria211 I will prep my hair tomorrow for Saturdays wash day. Ojon to start as a pre poo, then my Wen fig and As I Am Coconut Cowash for cleansing, deep conditioning with either Proclaim hydrating masque or Avon moisturizing mask. I haven't decided just yet. As far as style still rocking my phony pony puff!

 

[NikkiQ]

Checkin in before it gets worse here. Power went out last night. Worst of it will hit this afternoon. About to throw on some DC and let the good times roll! Keep your fingers crossed that we don't stay in the dark for long.
