i don't k now anymore. i just relaxed, so it will be awhile before new growth pops in.
i might wear it down again. but i will add some curls. i don't think i am going to make my year goal this year. i am so close, but so far away.

Wow! I was supposed to check in a minute ago.
Got my hair straightened last month. I wore it out for a little over a week and then my scalp went crazy so I had to wash. My curl pattern is a little more elongated in some spots. I'm not stressing, though. I wouldn't say it's quite heat damage, but in some spots it is a little looser.
It was silky straight. She trimmed and curled it after this. I wanted to get it done again for Christmas, but I think I will be holding off until my wedding.
And this is a twist out I did a while ago. I usually don't do them because they come out messy (I finally found the right products, though!), but I liked this one.
Lately, I've just been wearing it in a fro/puff or random updos. I haven't had time to do much with it.
I believe I was full-APL, now I'm a little less, but again, not a big deal. I'll get there soon.

Uhm I'm feeling some type of way...3 weeks with braids and I have noticeable new growth. Not used to it growing so fast. If this is the case, I won't make it 10 weeks at all. I may pencil take down for the first weekend in January. Do a nice DC and length check and post my pics for 2013 challenges and then get it braided up again.

Alright I blow dry my hair on warm before attempting a Caruso set FAIL! I'm claiming it APL I hit it now I'm working on full APL by Easter (Easter is in April right?) and hoping to hit BSL by August before I relocate to another city and lastly MBL 10 months later for my wedding so basically I'm trying to hit MBL in 18 months from hitting APL is it doable? What y'all think?

You're there and 18 months to mbl is a more than realistic target

I think it's totally doable polished07. We can work on being MBL together!

Ok ladies I am debating about transitioning, I have been thinking about it for some time now and I think I am finally ready. I have been texlaxing for 1 1/2 years to help get me to transition to natural. I really love the texlaxed hair texture but, I would really love it to have more texture. So natural hair here I come. I am about apl length right now but due for a trim. 3 inches of my hair is bone straight relaxed hair that needs to go in January. So I will know my true length come January. I will also need a whole new regimen... Also once I trim I may be joining APL 2013 challenge. Oh well I have to get these unhealthy ends off!

I'm 5 weeks into a sew in and plan on taking it down at the end of the month. I'll post pics then. I "should" be at APL right now, since I was less than an inch away in September. But, I want to make completely sure by the end of the year.
BTW NikkiQ, loving the avi, ma'am!

Congrats to e everyone. So glad we are at the home stretch. I hope I gain half an inch in three weeks after my trim. I won't relax until Jan/ Feb timeframe so hopefully I can tell as much as possible if I met my goal.

NikkiQ im excited and apprehensive at the same time.
so close yet so far. Im apprehensive because Ive come to the realization (looking back at pictures from relaxed and natural) that my hair pretty much hibernates during the latter part of the year and from about april to october it grows.
so right now its akkin da fool, hopefully I'll make it to APL by December

well i pampered my hair to day and put some curls in with my flexi rods, but now i don't know what to do with it! my hair feels so good and soft right now. i might just put a clip in, so my hair won't snag on anything. i don't know if i will set my hair tonight. i might just put in in my bun. the curls were fun for a hot minute.
