APL 2012 Challenge

[bones]

My regimen hasn't changed a whole lot. I did pick up the Giovanni Direct Leave-In earlier in the month. I have been lazy with my hair, especially last week. I didn't keep it stretched when I went to bed, and my scarf constantly comes off during sleep, and I don't have the energy sometimes to put it back on. I just hope I remember to twist my hair tonight.

My armpits aren't level but if you measure against my shoulder bone you can see how much progress I made in the last 3 months.

NikkiQ. You're not leaving anybody behind. It's looking ~3 inches to me. I can still lurk right?

Can't sleep but I think I found a wig that I may get . I've been going back and forth but I think the wig may help with keeping my hair moisturized plus im bout to start having a busy schedule and the wig will be perfect

@jprayze: No, I haven't done tea rinses... I don't know much about them, but at this point, I'm willing to try anything.

...off to research...

I had shedding from stopping MN for a month and I noticed a difference after the first time doing a tea rinse. I brew my tea the night before. I spray the tea (I use plain ol' Black tea right now.) on right before I'm about to wash by DC out, over the DC, let it sit about 5-10 minutes and rinse it out. There was less shedding during the final rinse and much less when I combed/detangled and styled.

There are some other ladies on the thread that can give some good tea stories too!

sydwrites, u look APL in the back. I luv your hair color

jprayze, I'm letting my bangs grow in too!

blairxo, ur def APL!!

missbugg21, I 2nd the tea rinses. BTW, I luv the shine in your hair

Seamonster, ur def APL. Great Prgress!

bones, ur sooo close. I luv the thickness of your hair!

Good Morning Ladies!!
I didnt do anything to my hair except M&S. I did change my hair reggie for the fall/winter. I purchased a couple of things to incoporate into my winter reggie. I bought Walnut and Avocado oils to add to my new DC. I am no longer DC w/ Queen Helene Cholesterol. Instead, I will be DC w/ Elasta QP Soy OYL. It has moisture and protein in it. I'm excited to use it. My M&S products will be the same. I've changed my leave-in from S-CURL to Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave-In. I luv S-curl, but I feel it's to thick to apply when I am wearing my hair straight. Since I'm wearing my hair straight, I am DC/CO-Washing/Tea Rinses every two weeks.

Has anyone tried Elasta QP Soy OYL deep conditioner? Any reviews?

Congrats to anyone I missed that made APL!!

Here are pics of my bald spot. The 1st pic is from July 2012 and the next pic is from yesterday. My bald spot is on a HJ of its own. I have been applying either JBCO, WGHO or Mizani H2O Rose Cream.

The last pic is of a protective style I'm trying out. Banana Clip!!

 

[gforceroy]

Ooooh! Tag me in the BSL 2013 challenge! I am really close to APL now and BSB is my final goal...

 

[Guinan]

Trixie58, does your hair grow in layers? I know mines does. That could be why she cut your hair in layers. The front & parts of the middle of my hair is neck length & my edges & back are longer. You really cant notice it unless I wear my hair in a pony tail.

Seamonster is a ninja! yay!

 

[buddhas_mom]

Congrats to all the September Graduates!!!!!

 

[jprayze]

pelohello I just picked up some banana clips from the dollar store last wk. I agree about scurl...I don't have a good moisturizer that I use while straight; I'm scared of reversion so I depend on the DC for all the moisture until the next wash. I do seal the ends every day or every other day.

 

[NikkiQ]

So our latest September Ninjas are Seamonster, sydwrites, and Blairx0

:woohoo: Congrats ladies!!!

Anyone else?????
