Apl 2016 Challenge

We have an update at the end of August. Anyone updating? its a good time to check where you are to make needed changes for the last four months of the year.


Would love to hear about your progress.

I'm not close to APL but I will be updating just to have a record.

I posted after my "trusted" stylist cut off a min of 2" from my hair after I told her specifically NOT to, sooooooo, I will post again in another few months. I am hoping to get 1-2 " by december, which will put me back at apl.
 
Hey Ya'll! :bighug::bighug:


So, a quick update-- I had my surgery in April (the 18th to be exact)...took about 7 weeks off of work (PT 3x a week) and when I went back still was not at 60%...Of course, going back to work meant-- super overwhelmed-- so, I wasn't able to get on here nearly the way that I wanted to. The one thing that I did do though was continue my regimen. I kept up with the Rollersetting challenge and the DDC challenge. My friend graciously came over and kept my hair cornrowed until I was able to do my own hair...

Fast forward to this past weekend--I just did a pull test because my stylist gave me fresh color (no more greys!!!! :bouncy:) and curled it so I didn't want to put more heat on it to straighten it out completely.

Overnight last night I Deep Conditioned on dry hair with 4 Bella Naturale' Cocoavonana mixed with Terrene Fusions Ultra Rich Mango Deep Conditioner.

Today I :

Added a pre poo oil on top of my DC and allow it to sit for 20 minutes before detangling and washing it out
Shampooed with Jason Naturals Thin to Thick Shampoo
Quick rinse out with the remainder of the TF URM Deep Conditioner
Leave-in with Bel Nouvo Avocado & Shea Hair Milk.

I also did a demi color on my hair as well, followed with a quick oil rinse to soften, leave-in and bun for the day.:look:
