APL GROW ON CHALLENGE 2011!(Prizes!)

I think LaJay is SO cute! My Evony looks very similar to it...just as big too lol. I can see you with a loose wave look. It'll be really easy for you to blend with your natural texture.
 
So I said I wasn't going to straighten until February but I have a professional conference I'm attending next week, so I think I'm going to straighten out just the front and do a straight half wig (I've been wearing kinky curly textured half wig I made for the past couple of months). I'm going to make one from Halley's Curls Relaxed Gentle Wave. My order should be here tomorrow so I can go ahead and get started.

I'm also looking for some more textured hair to make a wig from. The hair I have now gets so big, and I ended up starting to just pull it back. So I'm looking for some hair that is looser and won't get as big. I saw someone do a twist/curl on Bobraz and it was really pretty.
 
I wonder if Hairfinity and sprirulina haven an affect on under arm hair growth because :blush: its a little bit more than normal.

I think I saw a thread started by NJoy where she mentioned having "too much hair" and she didn't mean on her head :lol:. I think her sideburns started to get a little bit more noticeable compared to the peach fuzz we all have. Not sure what she took though, but I'm sure anything that promotes hair growth will help promote growth...*whispers* everywhere :perplexed

Checking in:
Gdm ladies!!! yesterday I washed, did my aphrogee 2 min, dced and mosturized and sealed my hair and wet bunned for the first time. I'm giving my wigs a break and now bunning until my six month stretch is up in April 10th. I think it was time for a change, I got tired of cornrows under my wigs and will be bunning and using all the pretty phony ponies I bought recently. I took my hair down and moisturized and sealed and put in two pigtail braids and tied my satin scarf on before bed. This will be my regimen till April! I also am in love with a new product I've been using for a few months, and thought I'd share. It's by just for me and its called hair milk. It has a lot of great ingredients in it, like honey and so on and it detangles the hair so well after sitting for 5 MINS. My hair was so easy to comb, This will definitely be a staple. you can find it at walgreens for like 6 bucks and comes in 16-32 ounces. I got it on sale by one get one free a few months ago. So anyway how are you ladies?
 
update: I noticed from using the bad black rubber bands, I had breakage from braids!:ohwell:, and when I would comb my hair I would get breakage, and my ends were sparse. Since I am bunning starting this week, I decided to trim my ends!:perplexed I took at least an inch off, but my hair feels so much better! I tested it by combing, and no breakage. I am also in love with aphrogee 2 min because my hair also feels stronger.:grin: I know hairfinity vitamins are working because even after I cut and inch off my hair still looked the same length!:grin: So all in all I am happy and during this bunning personal challenge for myself, I will be making sure to give my babies(my ends) so much love!:lick: and hopefully apl will get here by my next relaxer in april!!!! hope everyone's doing well!! hhg!
 
Well, I cowashed every day last week. I did not shampoo. Last night when I gathered my hair to apply coconut oil a piece of hair in the back slipped down. I played with it for five minutes looking at it in the mirror and turning around in different angels. I then got the ruler and noticed that that piece is 2 inches from APL. I really think I can get there by April if I continue to do what I am doing.

Im baggying my braids right now and will do it for 4 hours :). In my spray bottle, I mixed; infusium 23, curl activator and some spring water. I will be doing this 3 times a week plus i will be washing by weekly. I will follow this regime while in braids. When the braids are out, i will go back to my normal regime.
 
I poo'd and deep conditioned my hair this past weekend. I havent done an actually shampooing in a while but it was due. I'm also going to start trying to keep my braids in for 2 weeks and just cowash and deep condtion weekly in the braids. I'm trying to manipulate my hair as less as possible.
 
awww snap! my wig order came in (well 7 of 8 came in today) and I'm loving them all!! So happy. Can't wait to rock them next year :D

I saw you model them in another thread. Are you going to wear one until you get tired of it or wear one a month?
 
I can't believe length check time is right around the corner. I'm nervous and excited as H**L
 
Finals week is next week for me. I probably wont be doing much to my hair except putting a wig over it until I'm done studying.
 
Ladies...why so quiet?? I've been gone since Saturday and no action. What's going on?? Is everyone doing okay?
 
Hi Nikki glad you bumped up the thread. Not too much to report with me. I'm still following the Cathy Howse regimen and PSing under a phony pony bun. I did start using my Bee Mine Serum nightly. I ordered the mango but my DH thinks I smell like a Christmas tree after I apply it. Not sure if that is a good thing.
 
Hey sorry about being mia ladies!!

It is finals week again for me which is every 8 weeks for the university I attend. Anyway, I have been moisturizing and sealing my ends daily, and increasing my water intake and bunning daily, I can definitely see a difference in my hair. I also have not missed taking my vitamins since I started taking them , I am now on my third bottle of hairfinity vitamins to see if they really work. On my wash day this sunday I will be installing Genie locks, or as we call it in the midwest(yarn braids) I absolutely love them, and it will give me something to do for myself after this week of finals. I will post next week when I can, I have been so busy with family, work, school, and so on, but I make sure to try to give my hair the attention it needs daily... I listen to my hair. So I hope you ladies are doing well. Oh an by the way I am 2 months post, but will be stretching to 6 months, but lately I've been thinking about transitioning so who knows but I will keep you wonderful ladies posted!

I am excited and nervous about length check time, scared of disappointment, and then I could b pleasantly surprised. I also hope I can really see my length, because I will be 3 months post by then.
 
I almost forgot about this challenge! lol, I been over in the SL challenge I started. I got two more months before I get my hair professionally straightened. i don't really have any idea how long it is now, I'm hoping to be really close to SL, the sides are hovering right above when some pieces baaaaaaarely brushing my shoulders, lol. I'm transistiong hoping to have a nice fro for the summer for festivals, etc.

I'm still aiming for no questions full SL for April 2011. And APL Dec 2011.

I'm looking to be flossy come fall/winter 2011. I'm thinking classic football games, homecoming (i went to an hbcu), my hair should be swanging. And then I can swang for the family Thanksgiving and Christmas, lol.
 
Helloo fellow challengers..
Im still in braids and I must admit that i like the C & G method. I still following my regime religiously. I hope i will be reporting good progress on our first length check :)
