As of the relaxer I will get on Thursday, I should be fully SL by then. Then it's on to APL. I hope to make it by the end of the year.I wash weekly, co-wash weekly, rollerset and wear protective styles. I will probably wear protectives 4-5 days a week and get back on my vitamin regimen.
I feel like I need to be more disciplined so that I can achieve my goal...

This is my very first post on the forum... but I want in 
this challenge!! I'm working on the pics, don't have a fotki yet or a set reggie - but I've been lurking and stalking everyone else trying to get one together LOL. I've been a attached to the salon for as long as I can remember, but I'm committed to trying the DIY route (with a little help from the Dominicans until I learn to roller set!)
My goal is to reach APL (thick & shiny too) by December 08!

Thank you!!
Hey lady, that is great progress!!! I'm sure APL is attainable... you are very closeSince this thread has been bumped and I'm in this challenge, I thought I'd put up an 8 week comparison shot...it's growing! Hopefully I will make APL by the end of this year.

I'm beginning to think I won't get to APL by the end of this yr..... I just don't feel my hair is growing fast enough ..... I mean it's growing but APL just seems a long way off

WOW! You aren't kidding...your hair is growing up something. If you keep that up you will definitely reach your goal.
Yeah, I'm suprised myself. However, considering that up to March this year I did not do A THING with my hair all my life...literally (other than wash it), I'd be damned if I didn't see a difference

How are you ladies doing? Anyone feeling particularly positive about their APL growth goals? Anyone think they're gonna get there early?

I feel you. I didn't join LHCF until the end of April, so I may skip the first comparison shot date of May 31st and do my first one on July 31st.

I just realized I forgot a beginning shot!
I did a mini chop in my bid to transition in April -- I think it was around the 9th..so it's been about 6-7 wks. I will post an update on the 31st, and I'm going to try cornrows for the first time in June - if it works out they'll be my protective style for summer!

I joined the board at the end of March at shoulder length so to try and save myself from dissapointment and discouragemet, I've given myself till December to get to APL.
I'll be taking a comparison shot at the end of June. May 31st is probably too early for me.

I'm still trying to tweak my reg cause I am looking a DC that doesnt have any protein and lookin for best products for texlaxed hair. But thus far I apply OCT to my scalp every day. I DC 2 x a week on the day that I co-wash or shampoo. I am always in a bun or ponytail. It's pretty simple. OCT is the truth. Look for the sticky in the Hair Care Forum and see if its something you want to try

Stop frontin, you know me!
I had to cut off 2inches the other day, tomorrow I'm going back in the cornrows. I'm going to be very aggressive with the moisture and lo mani. Since my hair grow in layers I really hope I can still meet my end of the year goal of full APL.
Kween I feel you on the torso thing, I"m 5'7" 1/2 with a long torso, APL is my biggest hurdle. I'm praying that brastap will be a breeze. After I make full APL at the end of the year, I plan to bun my way to brastrap,lol.
