APL 2012 Challenge

[PinkPeony]

Welcome pookaloo83 and CleopatrasCousin
AyannaDivine I cut my hair from being less then two inches from apl to needing 4-5 last month, so I'm not planning on trimming again till the april reveal

I'm sooooo excited to be in this challenge and make natural apl,i hope that by avoiding heat and wearing low mani styles this will be my healthiest apl yet!

thanks ladies!
i wasn't feeling comfortable claiming cbl till i'd actually passed it (didn't want the hair police to mock me haha)
i think i'll move up my goal date for reaching apl to our april reveal. i'll try to hold off on straightening my hair until then, though i might check a little piece every now and then.

my ultimate goal for my hair is waistlength, but i think that might end up being too much hair. if it does turn out to be too much to handle, i might just maintain at mbl. but we'll see!

We're the same length!

and yet your twists and hang-time looks SOOOOOOOooooo much better!

I was loading some old pictures off my mom's camera and I found an afro shot I don't even remember this pic, it was from last year sometime.



Here's my starting pic. I think I have another 2 to 3 inches to go

rock that fro faithVA If that was last year, I would LOVE to see it this year.

rock that fro @faithVA If that was last year, I would LOVE to see it this year.

If I could remember how I did that I would I think I must have straightened my hair and let it revert. That is the only thing I can think of. Because I can't get a fro like that after I wash or after its been twisted.

^^^Its not a blow out?

beautiful faithVA..

 

[faithVA]

^^^Its not a blow out?

No, I don't even know how to use a blow dryer So sad

Now that I think about it, this would have been last xmas. I pressed my hair with a straightening comb, and then the next day I think I did a curl former set, and I think this is like 2 days after. I have pictures of the days before when my hair was in the process of reverting because I didn't do anything to it. lazy, lazy, lazy

beautiful @faithVA..

Thank You

Thank You indarican.

I with you. I am ready for the new year and the challenge to start.

I can't really imagine my hair at APL but I am looking forward to it. To be able to get my twists all into a bun, and to be able to wear a donut bun, is going to be nice

 

[NikkiQ]

I think once I hit APL, I'll feel more confident in reaching the rest of my goals. My next milestone will be to get my natural hair in a ponytail or a bun. I can puff like a pro, but not a bun

Story time! I have been keeping my hair in a bun at work to prevent it from rubbing my clothes. Yesterday one of my students decided it was about time he found out what was in there so he stuck his finger in the side and began feeling around on my scalp! I just sat there thinking "wth?!". He was all in my new growth lol. So today it's up in a ponytail. No more mysterious escapades in my scalp hopefully lol

That's a crazy story. I don't even know where to start. Going to leave this to someone else

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^WHAT?! He fingered your bun??? I've never heard of such a thing.

I'm feeling confident I can hit APL, but because my hair has never been that long (accept as a child when I didn't know better!) the REALITY of it hasn't really sunk in -- actually seeing MY hair that long against MY back.

I guess part of that has to do with me never seeing my hair and when I do finally see it, it's so shrunken. Oh, well! I think I'll have a better grasp on the reality of APL when I flat iron in a couple of weeks.

i think i might cut my stretch short. this new growth is out of control, and styles are not holding up.

Thanks shortdub. My mom says its growing so noticeably but I don't see a thing

OK- I made an appointment to get my hair done on the 14th! However, I am torn if I should just get a DC and Blow out, or get a touch up. I have been toying with the idea of transitioning. Decisions, decisions...hmmm

What would be your reasons for going natural?

 

[kittenz]

Just stopping in to say hey. I'm not feeling my hair style today but we'll try again tomorrow and the next day, and the next day and the next.....

 

[NikkiQ]

And what kind of style might that be kittenz?

 

[NewHairWOWeave]

Well Ladies, I will be bunning to the end of the year. I have decided on cutting my hair to the healthy part so that it will grow better and stronger. APL here I come

 

[NikkiQ]

yay!!! Got my hair appointment for the 22nd at noon so I'll have pics for you ladies by 5pm

 

[newnyer]

So last night I took down my bun to cowash...but got caught up watching TV. I am notorious for HIH disease so I start playing around & twisting my hair. I look up after the show is over and realized I had managed to mini twist the entire left side of my head! No, I did not finish, and no I was too lazy to take them out, so back in a bun my hair quickly went. So I went to work today just like that. LOL!

Moral of the story: I need to keep my hands & overall boredom in check if I want to reach my goals...but @ least my instinct was to do a low manipulation style!
