Thanks for all the birthday love ladies!! 
I treated myself to a few more hair products to bring back with me. Also it looks like I'll have the hair flat ironed today. My bestie wanted to do it before we went to dinner. I'll post pics from my phone as soon as it's done!
Sent from my Android...Boom.

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'
Fyne Take a look at some of the MN threads and check out YT and see if it looks like something you would like to do. Have you used any other growth aids before?

Good Morning Ladies!!!
I have lots of pics to share!! The 1st pic is from hair left after cowashing my hair in the shower.
The next couple of pics are pics of my shed hair
Is this normal? I collected my shed/breakage hairs for the month of August (I know crazy
). I decided to collect the hairs to get your opinions and to show my doctor. Anyone with a thyroid condition, do you experience alot of shedding but still see growth progress? Ok I promise I'll STOP obsessing over this
The other two pics are from my navy bun but with chucky twist in the front.

Hey Ladies,
Here is my length check for the month of October. Once my curls fall, I'll be able to take better pics of the back of my hair. I flat ironed it Sunday. Prior to flat ironing, I DC for 10hrs and then braided it, to let it air dry. It took about a day for it to dry up to 98 percent. I then applied my heat protectant and flat ironed in sections. I'm very happy with the results, b/c I always thought you had to blow dry then flat iron to get your hair really straight. I actually like the results better w/o flat ironing b/c my hair isnt as frizzy.

I haven't done a heavy protein treatment since just before I relaxed 8 weeks ago so I decided today is the day. I pre-poo'd overnight with honey, aloe vera gel, EVOO and my ceramide oil mix. I just clarified with Kenra and now I'm sitting under the dryer with Aphogee 2-step. I'm going to DC with Kenra MC and add Roux Porosity Control and a little Argan Oil. Ummm, I think today will be a good hair day .

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
Thank you! I'm so ready to claim it, but shrinkage has me second guessing myself. And you're right it sucks to be in these challenges when you're tall with a long neck
. I probably could've been on my way to BSL by now if I were shorter NikkiQ, Happy belated birthday
and as our challenge leader, do you think I've graduated?pelohello, I love your bun!

pelohello, I love your bun!
To me it looks like you're right there at APL. Do you have someone that can take the pic for you? I'm sure when your shoulders are straight,you should be able to claim it.

DC'ing right now. Thinking about pulling out my dryer to dc with heat. Haven't done that in a while. Does everyone here dc with heat?

@pookaloo83 I use a steamer or body heat but dc'ing with hooded dryer hands down gave me the best results!
@lexxi love watching buns grow, your hair is soo thick & you closing in on APL!!
pelohello I never knew you were a ninja?! Look at that all that lush hair
@jprayze I use MT like aphrogee 2 min and as a co-wash condish every few weeks and wild growth hair oil when I can. I find it hard to fit in scalp oiling as I workout and cowash often. Yep i've been stalking those threads, but the true inspiration was your growth spurt earlier this year

It's a head band with a little bow on the side. I will be 8 months post relaxer next week, so that's the most decent thing i can do withtout using heat or abusing my hair. To maintain i moisturize and do pin curls on damp hair, then style as needed. But now im in weave until the end of the year, then i'll be ready to repeat this class
Your flat ironed hair
. But i do love your curly bun as well.

My protein treatment and wash day was a HUGE success, YAY! I started my Fall regimen today which include use of my QB AOHC and JBCO on my ends. I want to retain every bit of my growth,
1st Quarter-2013 APL Ninja in the house! It hurt like h&ll when I had the major cut to even my hemline but as they say, NO PAIN...NO GAIN.
