APL 2012 Challenge
- Thread starter NikkiQ
- Start date
Thank you for this! Sorry I'm joining late. Supplementing my participation in the luscious ends challenge.
~Current hair length--I'm not sure, but I think about at my shoulder blades, maybe 2.5 inches from APL? My hair is wavy in this pic and I don't feel up to straightening it, but it gives us a gist.
~Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Loc'd--Relaxed
~APL goal month--Well it took me 2 mos to go from my "at my shoulders" to here, so maybe another 2-3 to get to APL. Say April.
~Current Reggie and styling choices--I baggy every night under a shower cap and a hat. Usually use UBH satin creme and castor oil but sometimes just the bag. Usually throw my hair up in a clip in the AM. Only manipulation is when I wash it, or when I have an event and get it done. Wash once a week and take biotin and prenatal vitamins. Getting a few tracks today though for a special occasion, but I'll take them out within a week because I find when I get partial weaves my normal hair suffers.
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL? The occasions I wear my hair out, it brushes my scarf; I have to diligently put it up. 8 glasses of wtr a day.

I am REALLY looking forward to braiding up my hair with extensions and leaving it alone for close to 2 months. I am loving twists and twistouts, but now I'm in the mood for something else.

Been taking my Nioxin, Biotin, and multi-vitamins this week so far. I bought two of those weekly pill holder thingies a while back. Gonna actually use them now. Since I got a little down time before the game comes on (WHO DAT!) I'm gonna go ahead and get my pills ready for the next 2 weeks 
Debating on using the rest of my BM sulfur serum or not.

Ladies...can I share an awkward convo? I feel safe saying it here lol.
I was engaging in some mini coloring and as I was singing into the mic SO was playing in my hair and says "your hair is getting so long. You're doing a good job". Yay!!!! I started laughing and totally lost focus.
I'm taking my compliments WHENEVER I can get them lol.

My hair is feeling dry again!
Qhemets store is still closed, so I have to go to the store and find something moisturizing I guess. I have a lil twist butter left and I believe I have some AOHC around, but I can't find it! Some parts are soft and moisturized and some parts to me feel dry. It could be all in my head though. I get lil paranoid at times.

My hair is also so dry. And I'm still shedding. I think my hair is suffering due to my diet.

I haven't yet curbed my shedding but the Dominican salon I like has some that I've used before and really like. Looks like I'll be getting my hair done this weekend. Cuz I'm still shedding like a werewolf with mange

I texlaxed Friday at 13 weeks post. My hair retained some good length and is becoming more healthier. I want to do a color rinse but uncertain if it would cause damage. Anyone use jazzing hair dye? Does it harm your hair? I was also thinking to mix it with a conditioner then apply it.

Jazzing is safe. it could be used as a rinse or a semi permanent color, depending on how long you allow it to stay on before rinsing. i am going to do a permanent color and then maintain with a semi permanent. i am just trying to get rid of this red hair color i have.
just rinse really well and condition afterwards.

Yes I cant wait to do mine! I want to do it today but I just hate doing any type of chemical kind of things when my kids are home... So tomorrow when they go to school its on.
