APL/BSL 2014 Challenge

[Joigirl]

Had my daughter do a length check for me and I was pleasantly surprised. My bottom layer of hair is nearly bsl. I just need the rest to catch up. I am happy with the length considering my two year natural anniversary is at the end of May.

Wow your hair is beautiful...my hair wants to be like yours when it grows up!

I had a press and length check in February. I retained length in the back and the sides are a bit shorter. I still look like I have a lot of hair to some people but not to me. I think that my hair is probably doing well considering all the death we had in the immediate family. (mom and dad). This year should be a better growth year!

I believe you have hair anorexia. When people you see on the regular notice your hair longer you must believe them. Sorry for your lost. Hope you do have a better year

I took down my celies and used my puff cuff for the first time. I shouldve detangled first, but I was just trying to get an idea of how it would look. Im getting my blowout tomorrow so I will be back with more pics

 

[ChannieBoo3]

Haven't been doing much to my hair .. Weekly schedule : Wash day , straighten , light moisture and seal daily , wrap ; and by the end of the week I'm in a braid out or bun .

Not really looking to achieve any style with my hair , just leaving it alone, I guess lol... 6 weeks post relaxer.

Here is my length check as of March 24th. I lightly straightened my hair over the weekend and was pleased to reach my hair from the back. I was never able to do that, . Number 4 puts me at APL but I want it to be there without pulling so I think I can be fully APL by June 30th,

Very nice thick hair. Congratulations on making APL. Will be checking for your progress pics in June.

Your curls are so beautiful, they look fake. The thickness is sick. Congrats on your progress.

Congrats on making APL. I would love a non- pulling APL by December as well. Congrats on your progress.

Thank you Lol...I am very happy about this thick hair as I enter my 40s. My density might actually be normal after thinning later in life. My hair has always made hair dressers cringe even when I was relaxed. I understand their reluctance now that I have a dd with 4a hair that is thicker than mine and with baby fine strands...:look.

In other circumstances, I would but I really, really want the true length,

I'm not going to be able to flat iron to do a proper LC until after mid April. Between traveling for work and painting my bedroom I'm not going to have the time. So I decided to just do a pull and see LC. first pic is from January 1 and second pic is from today. If you look at my collar bone it looks like I've retained about an inch or so since January.

 

[pearlific1]

Your hair has definitely grown charmtreese! Looking great!

 

[MsKikiStar]

Hey ladies!! I'm still in the challenge, even though I haven't posted much. Nothing much to report except that someone needs to hide my flat iron . Last I checked I'm right above APL . Will definitely come back to post pics next week.

Love your hair charmtreese. Great progress girl. Have you been protective styling since January?

Loving your hair. That's quite a bit of growth.

^^Waiting for your reply to the above.

You have definitely retained. It looks like you have retained more than an inch in the front because it's hanging

Thanks!

No, I haven't been protective styling just low manipulation. I was wearing stretched out puffs a lot, for the last week or so I've been wearing more buns than puffs. I do want to figure out a PS that I can wear at least 3 days a week. I ordered a wig...not sure how that's going to work for me though.

 

[hairqueen7]

Its been a while ladies hair is doing fine just need it to grow faster lol, well here is some style I've been wearing over the last month.
