Apl Challenge 2017

My hair has me being super lazy. I'm on day 11 of this wash and go, and it still looks moisturised and defined even with my dwindling HIH. I don't know when I will wash yet...maybe Saturday.

OAN I wanna do a henna treatment in the next week or so because I'm missing the vibrancy of my colour. If I get round to it, I'll definitely leave out my ends. I only henna the top two thirds of my head, and even with me squeezing in the mix instead of smoothing, I don't think my ends up there (fine strands) can take another treatment before they end up straight.
 
April's almost here ladies. It will be time for your first update in April. Looking forward to wonderful results.

When you take pictures, take pictures of your goal areas only. So if you are trying to have your sides reach Apl take pictures of your sides. We want to share in your progress.

I will post another reminder in April.
 
I relaxed (touch up) my hair on Tuesday. I didn't moisturize my hair at all yesterday, and I probably won't do it again today!

Now I'm suppose to get my hair braided tomorrow. I though about not washing my hair, since I washed it Tuesday, but I only comb my hair on wash day. I planned on washing it Saturday, or Sunday... so I gotta wash and detangle to make sure my hair isn't being ripped up.
I will be in braids for the month of April.
 
I want my hair laziness to continue on but my hair is saying no. I'm still in my mini braids but my new growth is crazy and I'm starting to get some matting. I'll redo some of them because I'm not ready to completely take them down. I need them to stay up for another week.

I'll probably be posting my update the second or third week of April to coincide with my nappiversary.
 
I'll take pictures today since I want to rock a flat twist out tomorrow night.
Planning to set it tonight and wear my wig to work tomorrow~ like I be doing lol.
2017 Jan 1- April 1 has been flat twists and wigs.

I've been washing every 2 weeks and my low manipulation I feel is paying off.

Some wins for 2017 so far-
  • QB Detangling ghee
  • Avocado oil
  • Washing every 2 weeks (Saturday or Sunday)
  • Wigs
  • sticking with my conditioner mix: Kera care humecto + Kenra moisturizing conditioner (2 pumps) + neutral protein filler (1 cap)
  • Wednesday re-moisturize
  • No heat (I would like to start blowing each wash starting April 2017)
  • Staple shampoo for scalp is on deck. Diluted VO5 + Olive oil
  • I usually just let the run off of the diluted vo5 "shampoo" my hair.. For April, I will try shampooing the length for wash #1 with my Crème of Nature shampoo that I loved (since I have 3 bottles untouched in storage). IF this works out I will continue this for wash #2 .. *focusing on length not scalp with this shampoo.

Scalp care-
  • Wash day only: KeraCare Dry & Itchy Scalp Glossifier + geranium oil + avocado oil
  • If I get itchy scalp during days leading up to wash day- I use a mix of : AVOCADO OIL, EUCALYPTUS OIL AND PEPPERMINT

Great updates ladies! Can't wait for the pics! I'm still coasting with my celies and half wigs since my fro was shaped . I'm excited to see my edges thickening up. I've been using Komaza protein and keeping it simple.

@victory777 I'm glad you're seeing progress with your hairline:hug2:. Everyone raves about this Komaza protein. I'd like to get my hands on some one day.
 
I'm going to drop out of this challenge and cheer from the sidelines. Realistically, I will not make APL this year. Feeling super emo the past handful of weeks, have acne popping up again so I know there's an issue hormonally again. Whenever that happens, my hair growth is barely 1/4" a month. Good luck wish you all the best of good, healthy growth :)

Don't leave me. I thought we were ride or die. You are the only one that is always exactly where I am :sad:

Even though things are tough they can always turn around in the summer.

Don't go! It's only April! And remember this is a challenge! I'm having a moment too! Even if you don't make it, whatever you achieve is still progress! We gotta believe that about a lot of things!

My nape area is struggling. The hair there is so fine and breaks easily. UGH! My sides are nearly APL at the front and the back is still hovering at 2 inches above APL at the back.

Do you use a Moisturizing spray and oil on your nape?
My crown is trying to act up. I switched to using a Moisturizing spray with glycerin since it's spring and there is a lot of humidity in the air.

I have to renege on this statement. Due to some family activity plans and a change in my work schedule, I'm have to take my minis out today and tomorrow. I have no idea what to do with my hair now. Maybe to French braids on each side. I don't think I have quite enough length to do an unassisted bun just yet.
