I'm sooo late for this, but I kind of want to pay attention to this, because I hope to maybe be APL by the end of the year.

I'm going to answer the questions, even. Heh.
What are you doing for growth I have been DCing once a weekly, cowashing every other day, wet bunning, even taking daily biotin pills lol, etc.
What are you not going to do Relaxers, flat irons, blow dryers (though I use a heat cap when I DC?), go longer than a 3-4 days without washing my hair, etc.
What length are you now? I actually don't know. My hair is changing like it never has before (in my experience), because I am going without relaxers for the first time since I started getting them at age 5. I used to have my hair straight with just frizz on the roots, but now it's half curled/frizzed for a good chunk of the length (a.ka. new growth I guess), and then a lot of the underlying hairs are still straight. Going off of the few full straight hairs left I'm at shoulder length again (which is growth from their length in January), however, my curled/frizzed hairs are much shorter, a little longer than chin length. I suspect that, logically, if they were straightened they'd be a longer length? I imagine maybe a little above shoulder if they were straight. Whivh is A LOT of growth from where I was by the end of last year (seriously, the whole back half of my hair was gone due to breakage
). So ya, my chemical hairs are SL and the frizzed/curled ones are somewhere between CL and SL. I don't know what you'd call that.
I hope we all reach this APL goal!
