I took my twist out and I think I am about 1-2 inches away from being full APL stretched. So I guess I need about another 3-4 good months to make it. I will definately be babying my ends.

I'm still in and am still hoping to reach APL by December 08. I plan to DC twice a week; rotating between moisture and protein treatments, and if after my hair check today, my hair is still healthy from wiggin it. I will continue to wear a wig, and if not, I will start wearing phony ponies or consider getting a weave for the summer. Wish me luck today. I plan to post pictures soon.

Stop frontin, you know me!
Im still in doing braids and keeping my hair moisturized.
Hey ladies, just checking in... I still haven't relaxed my hair so I'm not going to post another progress pic till then. I've been keeping it very simple I dc/ or co-wash 2-5 times a week. It honestly depends on how much I workout and how intense they are. I hope we all meet our goals, and that we've been taking care of our hair!

I think I will have to exit this challenge because I cut an inch off last Sunday so my hair is actually shorter than my siggy pic now.

1. Post your starting point now
about half an inch above shoulder length
2. When you think you'll reach APL
by Dec 2008. (my hair grows about 2.25" every 4 months)
3. And what you are doing to get there
no more major cuts. straighten less often (once every 2-3 wks). moisturize.

ok I changed my mind. I'm not exiting this challenge. I'm gonna stay and see how much length I can retain regardless or the haircut.

Hopefully I'm not too late, but this is my goal as well.
1. Post your starting point now: around collarbone length
2. When you think you'll reach APL: goal is 12/30/2008
3. And what you are doing to get there: DCing 1x week, straightening less once every 2/3 weeks, moisturizing daily and sealing.

Moisturize...moisturize the ends. I'm going to start bunning. I havent gotten the hang of it yet.

I'm trying to be at least half way to APL by August...I'm kicking up my reggie to the nth power to get there. Cardio, vits, MN, etc.
I'm rocking my half-wigs with some lacio and MN. I'm supposed to get a relaxer at the end of July, but I may try to stretch to early August (closer to my goal date).
My last stretch wasn't too bad and I actually sorta miss my new growth...LOL My hair is so straight (even 4 weeks post) that it's kinda limp to me. So I think I can handle another week or two stretch.

Me too.
As I said, I'm in this for the long haul. I moved up an inch or two to take another length shot, so I'm happy to say that my second layer has now reached apl. When my bottom layer gets to bsl (in 2-3 months :crossfingers
I'm going to not let anything go beyond bsl and trim for at least a few months and wait for my other layers to catch up a little bit. I hope by the end of the year that a 3rd layer an inch or two up will have reached apl as well. Where I am now:

I'm joining! I'm between SL and CBL at the nape. (When I stretch it, its like on my collar bone, but if I flat iron it, it only falls comfortable on my shoulder *shrug*). I'll be using my twist on the moe's growth oil recipe. I'm also on the coconut oil prepoo, 12 inches in 12 months, and no ruler challenge. My current length in the nape is about 5 inches, and to be APL I need maybe 5 or 6 inches more. I know I can do it!
