@faithVA I have realized that growth and retention definitely happen in phases...But as you said, health is REALLY important!! 
You'll be able to confidently claim SL very soon! You're on the grow and your headed towards APL! 
@Wenbev I can ABSOLUTELY see a change-- retention wise and thickness wise! You're on the grow! 
@xu93texas
Grow on girl! You at least retained an inch and a half, you're on track to reach APL soon!!

My length checks are only twice a year @faithVA. I just did one at the beginning of the year so I won't be ready for another one until June.
I'm due for a trim at the end of April and I want to do the length check AFTER that for sure. But June is best for me.
I'll update then in all of my challenges and another one maybe during my birth month in October, not sure about that one yet though.

No pressure. Everyone else in the thread has been here since December so they should be ready to show something by June. You have an extra 3 monthsThe pressure!!!
I think you will be so close to APL it won't be a problem for you.

Deep conditioning, keep oil in my hair, wash once a week, I've been rollersetting for the last month and it seems to be working.
thank you! And what about your color? Do you do it yourself or salon? I'm curious bc I'm looking for an alternative to henna as I get more grey hairs. Now henna is my boo, but I kind of think I'd like to go lighter in years to come.

My hair feels really soft after last week's henna so I want to keep up the moisture.
Last night I parted my hair into 4 sections and water rinsed. Then I applied AOWC to each section. Went through again, smoothing ghee (mixed with some hibuscus) on my length. I put in 8 bantu knots and wrapped in cling, a baggy and scarf.
I'll rinse today, clay wash and wash and go as usual.

My official April length check:
April 16th will be my 6 month hair anniversary since my mini BC
I couldn't find the charger to my camera so I was stuck using my iphone again. And idk what length overall my hair is at this point. I'm gonna claim full chin length for now lol

I think you are really close to APL but it's hard to tell. Next pics, include more of your body so we can tell if you are APL. I think you will definitely be APL for the next length check.
I would say you can claim SL for now.

Hi I'm Chrissy (✿◠‿◠)
I actually cropped the pic so you didn't have to look at my back fat
I'll definitely wear a shirt next length check lolBUT YES I HAPPILY ACCEPT CLAIMING SL NOW
My crown and nape area look about the same length but my nape is much closer to my back so I thought you measure and determine the length stage of your hair by the crown lol I honestly wasn't sure

We need to see your armpits. Maybe a sleeveless shirt?I actually cropped the pic so you didn't have to look at my back fat
BUT YES I HAPPILY ACCEPT CLAIMING SL NOW
You can measure from whatever point you want. Some people do the nape, some further up and some the crown. It's just what makes you comfortable.
@AbsyBlvd do you make your our ghee or buy?

@mostamaziing I would say your longest lengths are APL from your pic! I agree with Faith and would include more to see more body or wear a length check tee to see the markings. edit - nevermind I'm slow just saw the last posts. lol
@InBloom
nice growth!

Welcome. There is an APL/BSL challenge that may work better for you. You won't be in this challenge long enough for it to be worth your while.
