Congrats to everyone that made APL.

 

[TrendySocialite]

I don't think I'm gonna make it...

I'm almost at collarbone length. And unless I do a pretty rigid regimen, I don't see how I can...

I was sorta conducting an experiment to see if my growth aids and vits really did work...they do. erplexed

As soon as I relax again next week, I will see where I am and then hop back on my regimen quick fast and in a hurry!!!!

 

[Andy1979]

I'd like to join also...Below is my starting pic (taken Sept. 9.) That gives me over 3 months to get about 1.5 inches of growth! My hair will be flatironed in my after pic so I can't cheat and use only 1 piece of hair

 

[sydwrites]

I'm not sure if there was a separate check-in thread this time, but here is my september pic. I think I have a couple of inches to go so i'm not sure If i'm giong to make it by december or not, but im not giving up yet!

 

[seashell]

^^^ I'm with you on that couple of inches.
I hope to be there by December.

 

[miss Congeniality]

I am hoping that I will be there by the end of the year. I have stop checking length because I was getting annoyed about my progress. I have notice that my hair is a lot thicker.

 

[gabulldawg]

Is it too late to join this challenge? I hadn't seen it before! I am planning on relaxing next weekend and I'm pretty sure I should be APL by then. I'm so excited!

 

[Anancy]

I don't know if im going to make it, i hope i do though. I've been slacking on making an effort to make my hair grow, my plan was to massage my scalp with peppermint oil to see if that helps, but i haven't been doing it.

I've just taken my two month twists out so when i get the chance i will take some pics, i think my hair grew possibly an inch whilst the twists were in.

 

[gabulldawg]

I think I've made it a little early. I updated my fotki.

 

[cutiebe2]

I am pretty sure I am APL now. I will post a pic in soon. But I am not flat ironing until June as I am trying to go a year without heat

Girl your hair is looking good, just a few more inches.

 

[hopeful]

I don't think I'm going to make it till spring, but that's okay, I know I will be full apl by that time.

 

[Mena]

I can't wait until I am APL and beyond!

 

[Shalilac]

Back in here because I had to do a serious trim! Just have to make sure I keep my hair moisturized (btw, it was too much protein that caused the damage). Should be back at APL by the end of November though. We shall see. Happy hair growing!

 

[joyandfaith]

This challenge has been a nightmare for me erplexed I feel like my armpits get farther down each month; therefore, my hair never reaches it.

 

[lilsparkle825]

i've been slacking to the extreme...only cowashing once or twice a week, not detangling on a regular basis, NOT DCing...i got so good at taking care of my hair this summer and now school is kicking my BUTT and i can't afford to stay under the dryer every other day, not to mention walking around with wet hair will kill me now. my goal date was last week and i just got around to taking pics yesterday. needless to say i dont think i made it, or at least i am not where i think i should be, so i'll *try* to start megassaging again since that gave me really great results. i also bought some more baby buttercreme on the exchange board, so i will use that and coconut oil to seal (baby buttercreme on curly hair, coconut oil on straightened hair). i'm also going to try to start rollersetting more often, maybe twice a month or so, to cut down on manipulation.

Hang in there!!! But you do crack me up!!

 

[Newtogrow]

This picture was taken on Oct 1st. I'm optimistic and taking it all in stride. Ladies, let's hang in there. Looks like I need about 3 more inches to make it.

Girl you feel like me!!!!
I'm like dang my Arm pits, its like my bra strap line I need to lose some weight, hoepfully to shorten the distances

 

[kandegirl]

I just got a relaxer this weekend and a few strands hit armpit. My aunt says I need to cut it though b/c my newgrowth is thicker than the ends. I told her for now we will let it grow a little, then cut a little. I'll post a pic soon.

 

[phyl73]

I know this is an old thread, but I think I can make APL by te end of December. I'm joining as of today.

 

[missnurselady]

I think im going to relax within the next 2wks...hopefully im somewhere near apl after that awful trim/haircut!!!
