Sorry late response. I will be starting on the first next month. Hopefully I get some good growth! I'm stretching my relaxer for 6 months.

@HairPleezeGrow
1. Current hair length: I think I am armpit length
2. Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning: Relaxed
3. Goal Month: By December, I will have healthier ends. I plan on accomplishing this goal by braiding my hair and sticking to my reggie.
4. Current Reggie DC 2-3 times a week with Queen Helene, Cowash 2-3 times a week with Suave, moisturize and seal every 1-2 days with motions hairdresser, Elasta QP mango butter, or Motions Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion, wash hair every two weeks with Suave sulfate free shampoo, anytime water touches my hair I use garnier fructis leave in conditioner. Detangle everyday. That is a must!
5. Styling Choices I usually donut bun my hair but I decided to switch things up and try out braids.
6. What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL? I plan on doing a lot more braids and braid outs. I love the texture of my hair when I do it. I plan on sticking to my reggie. I will stay positive and most importantly not give up!

I wouldn't go longer than 5 minutes bc in the position for inversion a lot of your blood is going to that area. 5 minutes is my max also.
ETA- also if you have blood pressure issues consult your doctor. But some people do invert for back problems/pain or with a professional or through yoga longer than the 5 minutes if needed. Let me put it this way...If you don't have BP problems and you can invert comfortably for more than 5 minutes give it a go. As long as you are not harming your body in the process.

Re: APL 2014 Challenge
I moisturized my edges and massaged them with JBCO then I used the mizani nighttime treatment on my horseshoe/leave out and pin curled it. I think I will wear my u-part wig through the end of the week. I ordered new hair for the kinky straight upart wig I'm going to make! I'm excited about that.
Edit... I'm trying the inversion method. I just finished day 7 yesterday. I set an alarm in my phone so that I'll remember to do it next month. So far, I don't see a difference but, then again, my upart is sewn on.

Re: APL 2014 Challenge
I wish I had started on the 1st instead of so randomly. I'm scared to start back up because of the potential health risk (that I haven't researched lol).

Re: APL 2014 Challenge
1. Current hair length:
I'm shoulder length.
2. Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning:
Natural
3. Goal Month:
Umm... Let's just say Spring
June at the latest I hope.
4. Current Reggie
I prepoo with oil, wash with neutralizing shampoo (hey it works great for me) and dc every 1.5 weeks. If I have apple cider vinegar, i use that instead of shampoo of any kind. I cowash and/or moisturize and seal whenever. I think I should do both of these more often. I braid out and clip in a banana clip.
5. Styling Choices
I tend to keep my hair in banana clips, so I'm going to collect different types of banana clips and wear them out
6. What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?
I don't know. I'm going to up my moisture for sure. Also, I want to start steaming. I need a steamer. I also want to get some clay for dc.
*updated in post below* NO heat

Hey Ladies,
Tonight I am revisiting an old staple: Aphogee keratin & green tea restructurizer. My hair has been showing breakage every time I take it down lately. I remembered that I haven't been using Folicure LI conditioner as the L in my LCO method. I couldn't find it and decided to go with the Aphogee. My hair softened and detangled instantly. It was frizzy after my last wash and henna treatment but after spraying, it seemed to lengthen and straighten out nicely. Don't wanna get protein overload so I am GHEing for the night. We'll see what happens in the morning. I
ETA: i mix the folicure with water...it smells like mens cologne
LOVE this HHJ!!

All of this length is subject to change, but I figure I hope to just cut to thickness.

Re: APL 2014 Challenge
no heat next year.

Re: APL 2014 Challenge
Last night I DC'd with Aussie Moist for about an hour under my heat cap. I rinsed my hair, noticed a little shedding and remembered I forgot to do my protein treatment again! Don't know why I keep forgetting.
Anyway, I usesd shea butter on my hair for the first time last night. O...M...G.. I am blown away. My hair is super soft. But I wonder, are heavy butters typically a bad thing for fine haired ladies?

For me butters are heavy for my fine hair so I use lightly.

Re: APL 2014 Challenge
I'm not gonna make APL this year sadly, so I'm joining the challenge to make it next year!
Current hair length - A bit beyond SL
Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Transitioning - Natural/BKT
Goal Month - May 2014 (Birthday month!)
Current Reggie and styling choices
DC weekly, alternating protein n moisture. Trying to stay away from heat as much as possible, so I'm going to try perfecting twist outs, braid outs and the occasional flexi set. Also using Njoy's growth oil when I'm in the mood.
What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL? The heat usage. It's held me back big time.
Post a beginning picture: (dyed my hair back to black recently, don't have a pic but the length is pretty much the same)

I cowashed this morning with HH honey hash and then applied shea moisture thickening milk to my hair. Applied JC nurish & shine on top.

tapioca_pudding I think we are about the same length. We'll do this thing together!!!! I still have a glimmer of hope to be grazing APL by the new year. Doing the inversion method starting tomorrow. You should join that one too, if you haven't already!

Re: APL 2014 Challenge
I'm currently doing an Aphoghee 2-step treatment. I've had this bottle for a while and my goodness it stinks! I don't remember it smelling this bad. I'm going to DC with Kenra MC afterwards. I might leave it in overnight and then do a twistout for the weekend.
So, I finally broke down and got some Mr. Hicks... with these rebellious edges, I should have purchased it a long time ago. I hope it works!
