APL 2012 Challenge

Fyne - I think it may be time for me to chelate too. I've never done so, just used baking soda and warm water. It didn't help nearly as much as it has in the past so I'm thinking of getting a chelating poo. I've been having itchy buildup on my scalp. Ick.
 
BEAUTYU2U Hmm what does the baking soda do? Like help clarify?

P.S I have been using ORS cremy aloe poo followed up by organix coconut or co-wash as I find ORS stripping`
 
Hey ladies!! :wave:

Still enjoying my mini vaca visiting family. My bestie didn't get a chance to flat iron my entire head yet,but she did a small piece in the back. Here's a pic of my hair straight and one of a braid she put in lookin like a damn rat tail :lol: and of course my hair started to curl right back up afterwards

I'll wash weekly an spray my braids as much as needed, I'm still researching the crochet braid I think I'm gonna do those before Halloween an try to leave them in for 5 wks then a break and the end the year with a full weave with bangs before my last check I pray I'm close to APL I really want to be there for my 2 yr relaxer free mark and head on to BSL by aug Hmmmn think I can make BSL in 6 months from making APL ladies
 
Leaving Wednesday morning. Everybody wants to hang today for my birthday so doing it today is out. And I gotta pick up a few more things to ship back tomorrow. I might attempt to do it myself.

growbaby, nice progress!
shortdub78, congrats on your little boy! Boys are so so sweet.

I've been checking in and out of here irregularly (what else is new:lol:), but wanted to share my September progress! I'm a little bummed I have retained more, but I know it was my fault due to LAZINESS. I'm contemplating braids or a sew-in for the winter to keep from doing something drastic (texlaxing).

My puff (wet here) has some serious hangtime now!

I flat ironed recently, but it poofed up, so for now I'm just going to attach this stretch pic.

I think I'll make APL by the end of the year!

I think ur already APL. Ur right shoulder and armpit is dropped to stretch ur hair. And u have a long neck, lol. So at least comparably, u have APL hair. Looks very soft and pretty :)
 
Looks good, Nikki!
I'm scared to check for fear of being disappointed. I have a HS reunion tne NEXT weekend. I might save my length check for then and wear my hair straight for that.
 
Good Morning Ladies!!

Sorry to post in run, just wanted to check in. I flat ironed my hair yesterday and I am luving the results. I hope to post pics later today or 2morrow.

Fyne, you should be fine as far as stores being open. Holiday shopping in NYC is my favorite time you can find some amazing deals. BTW, what is BSS?

NikkiQ, you got some serious hang time!! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY:spinning:

pretty! I think I am scared to check my hair in case there's no progress. seeing all these gorgeous head of hair is giving me issues. I may just keep it in kinky twists until next year.
 
I'm going to get my hair flat ironed on Friday...just in time for our length check! If my hair does not lay flat on that APL line, I'm going to act up!!! LOL

I've been back on the MN kick for most of the month of September, daily massages of my MN oil mix so hopefully results will be good.

I'm going to be adding an EO blend (thyme, lavendar, rosemary, etc) to my regi but I have to figure out how to put all these oils into my regi w/o my hair being totally weighted down.
 
Happy Birthday ladies NikkiQ + Lurkee xx

pelohello Beauty Supply Store....You know I can't come back without a visit!! I cant wait...going to the woodbury common outlet and Manhattan

jprayze I'm thinking out starting up a mn mix, but im a bit scared lool.

Decided to wig it this winter, see if the break helps with retention. I'm on the hunt for the 'one' :lachen:
 
Congratulations shortdub78 and gvin89 on the pregnancy. Happy birthday NikkiQ . I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful updates. I trimmed my hair some more right before installing a full head weave. I doubt i will make it to apl by december so i will have to miss the end of the month check in. I did not blow dry my roots on DH birthday as i planned to. In case i decide to BC, i want to start off with a set of healthy natural hair. I washed and deep condition my hair, roller set with the smallest size rollers i found and let it airdry overnight and all day. Right before going out i removed rollers, applied some argan oil and fluffed my hair out, and put on that silk covered head band. I am currently in weave and will remove and reinstall every month until january. Will DC before each install.
