APL 2012 Challenge

:woohoo: 500 pages ladies and still over 2 months left of the challenge.

Just got back from my first Zumba class. Sweating like crazy. Glad I did the braids today. I wonder if working out will help with my growth as well.
 
Well I was suppose to relax my hair today my I am having scalp issues.. So, I will edit a week or two until my scalp is better. Any suggestions for itchy dry scalp?

When I had that problem I gently massaged JBCO and tea tree oil to the area. It helped tremendously to where I was comfortably relaxing. Good luck :-).
 
Booo to breakage. I see a regimen overhaul in my future and more focus on health than length. When should I start the APL 2013 challenge?

ETA: I think I've come to the realization that my beloved Denman may be the cause of all this breakage and splits I've seen this year *signal sad Titanic band playing as I lay my brush down to rest*

I also recommend oil on the scalp. Maybe jbco with some peppermint oil.

Eta: maybe avoid the peppermint oil since you are planning to relax.

BEAUTYU2U I bought two denman brushes earlier this year; one for me and one for DD. I promise you, I noticed severe breakage after using that thing. The breakage and splits were so bad she lost several inches of hair; some from breakage and splits and the rest I had to have trimmed away to fix the problem. I haven't used a brush on her since. Her retention over the summer was crazy ridiculous! You'll see a major difference now that you are burying your Denman.

Lay it down...and then Kick it to the other side of the room! :fistshake: Using that Denman almost caused a Major setback. It not only caused splits, it also thinned me out. I removed rows, and the ghatdamned Denman still did a fair amount of damage. Stopped using it, and gave myself a good scissor & SplitEnder trim, and hair is back to being healthy.

dry itchy shampoo by Keracare and they have a conditioner that goes nicely with it. i like it.
 
10,000 posts???? this threat is the BOMB... LOL.. miss you APL divas.. i have decided to transition but i sorta made it to APL..
 
Nikki, I haven't tried that. I probably would if the brush wasn't already kind of worn. I'm not going to invest n another brush. I'll get a wide tooth shower comb.

Jai and Kiwi, I kept trying to pin what I was doing wrong/different in my regimen. I never even thought to look at the brush. I was having so much shedding and noticing my hair seemed to need trims more frequently. Couldn't figure it out. Now I know!
 
I've been enjoying having my hair in twists the past few days. There's about a 100 twists but next ttime I will do them a bit smaller so that they will last longer. If I'm lucky maybe this will last me two weeks.
 
I am here lurking as ususal, trying to to figure out if I should relax or wait a few more weeks. I am trying to get a good relaxer. I will probably do a co-wash tonight and curl up really tight, I just hate sitting under dryer. I sat under the dryer for 45 mins on sunday and air dried the rest and my hair was an epic fail monday morning :look:
 
I forgot my phone,so i am absent today. My hair is in two french braids with a bun at the back. At night i have been rebraiding them with some leave in and sealing with oil in the morning. Hopeing to keep this rountine all winter.
 
^^I used my old Tangle Teaser on my wigs when I decided it was no bueno for my hair. Never tried the Denman on wigs before though.
 
i got my hot rollers. i got the Remington I. i was going to get the conair, but i didn't feel like spending more. i am going to try them out now. i hope my curls nice. i am going to use flexi rods to sleep in to reserve my curls. i might do a cute pin up style.

my airdrying and detangling experience today was a great one. my hair is soft and my edges laid down nicely with my scarf.

Been in serious lurk mode for a while now. Don't feel I have much to share when it comes to hair anymore. Mostly feel like a broken record. :ohwell:

Hey as long as we know you're still with us, you can post the same message every time. Just want you to know we're here for ya :yep:
 
I'm here off and on. I took my plaits down and moisturized/sealed them one by one, then put them back up. From here until Friday or so, I'll just moisturize the ends.

Looking forward to trying a few new DC's. I'm not supposed to be buying anything else. But knowing me.... I probably will. :giggle:
 
Im here! I got anxious yesterday after posting and looking at all the gorgeous heads of hair in here and decided to take down my kinky twists. Well lets just say I lost a lot of hair due to SSKs and tangles :nono: However I did have a lot of new growth...a lot lol. I don't plan on relaxing until next week so did a clarifying wash followed by a protein treatment and dc. I put in my leave in and sealed with EVOO then put in some Bantu knots. So today I wore a knot out with half up half down. Got a lot of compliments even with all the 19 week post relaxed hair. When I pulled some of my hair for a fake length check it reached the top of my pits so I'm really praying that it touches post relaxer:yep:
