APL GROW ON CHALLENGE 2011!(Prizes!)

lol that's not creepy! you should've sent me a friend request. I'm in the get an inch. Lord knows idk how I'm gonna do it, but I'm gonna try.
 
Currently sitting here DCing my hair as I browse wedding dresses. The second the water hit my hair, the curls popped out all over the place. I :love: it!
 
Saw lots of them. I think I want to stick with the fit and flare silouette(sp?) b/c I had the big cupcake poof dress that you can't dance in
 
Any ladies know of any good cornrow tutorials on youtube? I'm tired of waiting on my stylist to come out of hiding after being MIA for 3 months so I want to try to do my own.
 
Congrats on your engagement NikkiQ.

I have finally found my regimen. It took lots of money and products for me to find a system that works for me. I had to kiss a lot of product frogs to find my product prince.

I am cowashing daily with Suave Coconut condish
I apply my oil/sulfur mix nightly
I sleep with a satin bonnet and satin pillow case (In 37 years I never did before)
I take a multivitamin and hair vitamin daily
Its simple for me and I like it.

I hope by April to report some great growth and greater retention.

Your regimen sounds similar to mine except I also shampoo/DC twice a week. I feel as if I have found a good routine for my hair and think I might be able to make APL by April.
BTW- you should join us in the 2011 Cowashing Challenge!

I forgot to mention that I DC weekly. I only shampoo when necessary. I shampooed last weekend. Before that I hadn't shampooed since November.

I do want to join the cowash challenge. I will check it out.

That is wonderful NikkiQ! Details, details!! This is such an exciting time, enjoy every second of it!
 
it's an ivory satin fit and flare dress with stones and bead work along the neckline. it's strapless with a subtle point on each side and a scoop in the middle. I'll try to find a pic online of it.
 
I need a milestone between SL and APL. It seems like it will be months before I hit APL and I need a little encouragement. Something to reach for. I know there is CBL but I guess I have to just deal with it (everyone else that reaches APL has to, right?).

I am just ready to be there. Anyone close yet? Maybe living through others will make me satisfied until I make it.
 
Hello diva's!!!
I have been so busy with school, and work, and family. I am back now hopefully. Everything has been going fine. I am still in cornrows I take down and rebraid after washing and I also wear my wigs. My hair is definitely growing and I am happy about that! Will I make apl in April???? who knows?? but we will see:) I am still stretching my relaxer I will be four months post in feb and will relax in April!! but right now I am enjoying the thickness and my natural hair texture so much!! this will be my second stretch or I may just stretch till my b-day in august but I don't know yet! I hope all of you are keeping high hopes and not getting discouraged!!! I can't wait for some update pics and NikkiQ you are going to knock em dead at your wedding!!
 
^^Thanks diva! I sure hope so. I can't wait to be able to wear my own hair for my wedding. I'm praying I get a good summer growth spurt like last year. If not, I'll have to rock a good sew in for the wedding and honeymoon.

I put my hair in Celie braids last night. I decided not to deal with a vanishing hairstylist anymore and save my money. I can do my braids once a week and it's free. Been taking my GNC vitamins and applied my sulfur last night. On the right track!
 
I'm still on a no heat personal challenge and trying to K.I.S. I thoughtI would be able to meet apl by march but now I think I'm going to have to push it back to May-ish. I'mm alittle disappointed and thinking about taking hair growth pills. I took them before and my skin paid for it :(
 
I'm still wearing my hair under wigs. Here is what it looks like as of 1/10/11. I washed it and straightened it. Now I'm in cornrows.

Checking in! I've been pretty busy. Classes have started back up for me again as well as work. I'm still under cornrowed under my half wig. BTW I've officially learned how to cornrow!!!!! :weird: It has taken me almost 21 years of life to figure this out. :lachen:
 
Just checking in. I'm taking vitamins, applying sulfur, and drinking lots of water. Now if I could just drag my beehonkus to the gym...

I'm in a sew-in that comes out in a few weeks. Some areas seemed to have grown at a faster rate this month, but my braids could just be loose from washing.

We shall see :o)
 
today I washed my hair and I'm dc'ing now without heat.Then after it airdries I will be back in cornrows for another week. My hair is doing extremely well I got some increase growth from everything I'm doing. I take my hairfinity daily I missed one day out of four months.I also take a multi-vitamin,moisturize and seal daily, use megatek every other day, and exercise and drink a lot of water and get plenty of sleep and will soon be using my 32 ounce of mtg when it gets here! I am happy I made it so far, I went from being bald from having cancer and now I am happy to have this crown of glory I do have after much work and it's healthy. I am 3 months post and will be relaxing april 10th of this year. Ladies sorry for the long post but keep up the good work and don't get discouraged! I am cancer free and happy!! Lets grow! I pray you all have hair health and length!!!
 
Checking in. Nothing drastic to report. I bought a few new products from Sally's the other day and I'm loving Elasta QP anti-breakage oil moisturizer and Mixed Silks leave in conditioner. OMG...best things I've bought in a LONG time!

Also on the wedding front, we've picked our venue so that's another big thing out of the way. yay!
