Forgot to add my September update! I relaxed on September 18th after a 5 month stretch.

Start of the journey (Dec 09):

March check in:

Late June check in (July 15th)

And my belated September check in, sorry so late!:

As of right now, I think I can barely claim APL, but I'm on a no heat challenge until our next (and very last!) check in! According to my sig, that's less than 2 months away ladies! We're almost there!

Grats to everyone who's made it already, this year has gone by so fast and I've learned so much! Thanks, y'all!

 

[topnotch1010]

^^ Even though your arms are up and that makes it a little harder to tell, I think you made it! Congrats!

 

[Evo-ny]

I need to find a better way to take pictures!

 

[ms.tatiana]

evo-ny: it looks like you made it, CONGRATS! i also need to find a better way to take pictures of my hair.

Well done lady, keep going!

congratulations to @topnotch1010 & @Evo-ny!

Quick hair update:
I braided my hair last weekend, and conditioned my braids this weekend.
The weather is getting colder, and airdrying/rollersetting take too much time.
My hair takes all day to dry, any suggestions for dealing with this without using direct heat?

Couldn't update my pictures yesterday since the site was down again..

click for larger pictures, more can be found in my fotki!

starting out


taking a break, covering up the unfinished sections


finished!


I used a little less than one bag of Auntie Lizzie, in colour 2.
I plan on leaving them in until Christmas break.

 

[afrochique]

Esi, how about blowdrying on a cool setting? I do that sometimes (once a mth) to avoid knots and tangles during my transition. I blowdry to about 70% dry.

topnotch1010 CONGRATS!!!!!!!

The rest of you ladies are moving right along. Keep up the great work!!!

 

[topnotch1010]

@topnotch1010 CONGRATS!!!!!!!

[chasturner84]

Trust me, Top, you don't have much longer to go. Your thickness is AMAZING!

 

[s1b000]

Congrats on your success!

 

[jamaicalovely]

It's great to see everyone doing well! I already know I'm not going to make it this year. I had very slow growth this year and shedding earlier in the year after the pregnancy.

You girls rock! Do it!

 

[esi.adokowa]

afrochique, I think that might work.
Do you use an attachment to stretch your hair?
Or a round brush?
I'm not very good with blow-drying haha.

How do you style your hair after blow-drying?

Hello Ladies!

I've been MIA for a while, but I'm making some progress that I wanted to share. Although I've been eating right, I haven't been doing much of anything else to aide in growth (no scalp massages, applying serum, etc...). Can't seem to find any me time.

With only two months remaining, startling tonight, I'm back to taking care of business. Hope to have pictures of APL by December 31st.

 

[goodmorningruby]

Touch up went well. I made a lot of progress. Co-washing and wet bunning was good to me.

Also, Sabino Moisture Block Original is hands down the best serum I have ever used.

My blow dry came with an attachment so I just use that. (Round brush? Not with my now 4 mth growth!). After blowdrying, I braid my hair into 10 big braids ready for my wig. Or I make one braid and tuck it in overnight and make a bun the next day.

Hey Ladies...Just wanted to give you some positive vibes!!!! 9 weeks and counting!!!

 

[MissHoney26]

Lookin' good Asha97. Looks like you will make too. Good luck.

Oh by the way, just thought I'd mention that I am a lot closer to APL than I originally thought. I am about 2 inches away from APL now and unless I grow at least an inch a month for the next 2 months, I won't get there. I am praying that I reach it by December 2010 however.

 

[mzsophisticated26]

So ladies I am gonna start cowashing 1-2 times a week. I want to wear my real hair down for my b-day in a few wks but I am suppose to be on a no direct heat for the next few months and I need heat to flatten out these roots since I am texlaxed. I dont know what to do. I was considering buying some bobraz and have a wig made. I have updated my siggy with a line on the pic so I can see how far I am from APL looks less than .50 inch.
