APL 2012 Challenge

[faithVA]

@faithVA

So do you mean we should register for both challenges now, like I'm shooting for APL in 2012 and BSB in 2012. You think I should sign up for BSB now?

Oh, wait, there's no BSB 2012, only BSL, and I don't care for that designation

Charla, Don't you know by now not to pay any attention to me

But yeah I think you should come join the BSL 2012 challenge cuz I think all my SL sistahs should be there. I don't think there will be a BSB challenge. I just plan on measuring to BSB and calling it a day.

I am currently enrolled in the APL and BSL/BSB 2012 challenge with healthy ends!

Ok, good idea. I'll scoot over there and at least get me a placeholder!

Shoot, I sure wanted to make MBL in 2012, but I better be more realistic and say BSB/BSL by December 2012. .....then MBL by spring 2013! Ah, reality!

I'm glad you suggested joining the BSL Challenge also faithVA. I've been debating whether I should join or not for the last 2 weeks. I think I will go over and add my stats.

I've been sticking to my roller sets and wearing my hair up for 3 weeks now and I'm starting to get comfortable with this as my winter regimen. I like how my hair is stretched without as much manipulation as the twists we giving me. Gotta get the SSKs under control.

NikkiQ Those twists are the bomb. Wish I could do some nice twists, my hair is frizz city no matter what I do. Maybe at faithVA can help a sista out too! I'm still wearing a wig mostly right now but by the spring/summer I want to be wearing my hair out all the time.

RE: First Time Making APL--Absolutely! This will be my first time making APL!! APL is LONG hair to me. My hair is full SL right now and even this is long to me. My hair has been close to this length before, but APL will be super duper special. My hair ain't never thought about being APL. I should be there by now but I'm not, my hair is growing at a snails pace past several months...but thats Ok, I'll wait. Long as its moving forward, its all good. But to be honest, I still won't actually believe my hair can be that long until I actually make it.

When I make it, I'll take several pictures and stare at it the mirror for hours in a state of shock, lol. Then I'll have my eye on my next goal which is BSL and what I think will be my final goal.

You and me both girl, you and me both.

I am now bunning and I LOVESSSS it! I may return to sew ins in late December. But before I do, I will take pictures of my progress to post for the end of the year. I am still a couple of inches away from APL, but as Imani said, I'll wait too. As long as I see progress, no breakage, and less shedding, I will feel I am doing something right.

I will be using the Qhemet Biologics Heavy Cream for winter because it is getting colder. I may also baggy more when I go out to preserve my hair. As my hair is growing out, I am loving it more and more.

 

[NikkiQ]

I think that's a great idea faithVA to have everyone join BSL 2012 as well. It's great motivation. I'm still waiting til I claim CBL before joining though

 

[kittenz]

^^^ I won't join the BSL group but I did join the SL challenge...

 

[Evolving78]

i am so happy i got this roller setting thing down. (Thank you Lord) i thought i would never get it right. but i just did it one day and it came out great. i am so thankful that i have products that work really well for my hair. i just know i am going to reach my goal an i'm grateful that i won't have to totally depend on someone else to get me there. i am going to do a lot of research on self-relaxing and trimming.

Hey Imani, come visit me over at the Twist Challenge or PM me about your twist. I thought your twist looked fine last time so bring me up to date.

Lets get ladies... 2012 will definitely be out year to claim APL

Girl TLC1020, I am sure gonna be working really hard at it for sure - even with the add'l 2 hair trims I need to give myself over the next 6 months.

 

[Firstborn2]

I joined the BSL challenge as well. Hopefully I will make APL by June and move on to BSL by the end of 2012.

 

[diadall]

You are saying that APL in the front is 6 to 7 more inches right? You aren't saying that the length of the hair in the front will be at APL when it is 7 inches right?

Because I am at 8" in the front and I am just a little past chin. So that statement is freaking me out

Sorry, I should have clarified. I need another 6 to 7 inches more in the front to be APL.

 

[NikkiQ]

Tried to get DH to do a pull test on one of my twists last night to see how much further til APL. Didn't turn out well. My poor honey sucks at takin pictures yall. He needs more lessons

 

[HauteHippie]

I want to make BSB by the end of 2012, too! Must. Find. A. Way. I'm in a full weave as a protective style. Hating it! I'll take it out before Christmas if I can wait that long. Total waste of money.

[NikkiQ]

Wore my 2nd day twist out today at my niece's baby shower and the family LOVED it and couldn't believe it was all my hair. They need help b/c my hair doesn't look that long

 

[bajandoc86]

I am getting my stuff together to do a sulfur mix in preparation for Jan 1, 2012. APL shall not escape me....

 

[esi.adokowa]

bajandoc86, good idea, i think i'm going to start using my sulfur mix again too!
i'll apply it twice a week as part of my pre-poo routine.
gotta get on top of my sulfur and vitamin games this upcoming year, maximize results!

 

[bajandoc86]

oh! esi.adokowa I'm glad you popped up I have been browsing sulfur challenge threads all day.... I was actually gonna message you to ask if you plan to start a sulfur 2012 challenge or should I go ahead and start it. I am serious bout maximising growth in 2012....yes ma'am!

 

[Ogoma]

Current hair length: Just below my neck
Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Natural
APL goal month: December
Current Reggie and styling choices: Co-wash 4-6x a week, cleanse 1x a week (alternate mudwash and SM ABS purification Masque on length of hair with Bobeam bar on scalp every week); mainly wash & go with some stretched "out" styles
What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL? Incorporate nightly scalp massage and eat better - no more chips and ice cream for dinner
Post a beginning picture:

First one shrunken wash and go, second an unsuccessful braid out turned into a puff.

 

[kittenz]

Ogoma your WNG is so pretty. Is it dry in that pic?

 

[esi.adokowa]

bajandoc86, i was actually just wondering if i should start up that thread again.
if you want to do so, you should definitely go ahead!

 

[bajandoc86]

ok...will do!
