APL 2012 Challenge

[Phaer]

I think I might flat iron my hair.

I will be late with final length check....couldn't get an Appt for blowout until Jan 4. Gives me enough time to take these braids down after the holidays.

 

[KiWiStyle]

My appointment was confirmed last night, my final 2012 length check will be on 12/27.

Im still on the fence on how Ill go about it. I kind of want to get some braids for christmas, so I might just blow my hair out next week and snap a pic before that to post.

I am sooooo happy I can finally do a high bun:bouncegre, if I don't get bored with it this may be my style of choice for the winter. I was wigging it for about two months, but now my wigs are looking tired and I am sick of wearing wigs. I put some moisturizer and seal with Hemp oil (first time Ive used Hemp on my hair, Ive had the bottle for a year for a shake I make) my hair feels soft, I am going to try it with my prepoo.

^ I love hemp in my hair; but every time I buy hemp oil, it tastes so good I eat it all.

Just took my Celies down so I can try to stretch my hair out a bit for the weekend. Christmas party on Saturday and I wanna try to wear a nice bun.

I don't think I'll make APL this year, but it's been fun anyway!

Me too, I don't think I can either! Next year yes!

 

[Phaer]

I don't think I will make it either, but I will probably claim it if I am close. I don't care!

 

[Ogoma]

^^^ I am right at the tip so I will be stretching my longest strands and claiming .

 

[Seamonster]

I am pretty sure I will be able to find a hair to pull to APL, but I won't feel like I made it until I can swang it.

I bought Nikki's sequined ruffled dress for new years eve. So excited; he ain't gonna know what hit him. I lost a lot of weight since I started eating healthy, and needed a dress that added a few pounds. Here is the link

Now I am wondering what hairstyle I want last year I could pull my hair to BSB and when I blow dried it was barely shoulder length. This year I can barely pull to APL, and I have layers.

I sent it off today too! So you should get it soon. Are you going to blow it out for NYE or keep it curly?

I have been trying retain my length thru baggying and I am loving my hair thus far. I'm already APL but I definitely don't want any setbacks.

 

[Meritamen]

I don't think I'm going to make APL this year, but I'm so close that I'm still going to aim for BSL in 2013.

 

[polished07]

My hair is in twists right now I cowashed and dc'd under heat last night and then moisturized with Darcys Botanicals Sweetie cocoa bean moisturizing cream twisted my hair with her avocado and honey twist cream omg my twists feel delicious! I slapped a wig on it and ill keep them in till weds I hope

 

[SimJam]

Checking in for my end of year update!

Had my last relaxer and trim of the year today - I think I am just about scraping APL at the front, but I'm still about an inch or so away from it in the back :-( Overall I'm pretty happy though as even though I missed my target I think my hair is in pretty good shape, even my hairdresser commented on how healthy it seemed, which I put down to everything I've learnt from LHCF

Pics below (please excuse the bra on display, that was unintentional!!)

I'm thinking of getting a sew-in....where are my experts? Any dos and donts?

It's official for me, I will not be making APL by the end of this year. I gave it a valiant try but I fell short of the goal. I flat ironed tonight and I am very happy with the progress that my hair has made. It is fuller and healthy looking. I am pleased as this is the longest that my hair has been. Collar bone in the front and approx. 2 -3 inches above APL in the back. Much thanks to you ladies for your insights, input and knowledge concerning hair care practices. I believe that I can/will make it next year.
