APL GROW ON CHALLENGE 2011!(Prizes!)

I flat ironed my hair yesterday. I realized made progress, which is great and surprising. Not a lot, but still. In the past, I only notice growth when a significant amount of time(like at least 6 months) has past, so this is good.
 
I had a great weekend. I dropped my honey off at the airport yesterday morning and came straight home to baby my hair. Shampooed with Mane and Tail, DC'd with Silk Elements cholesterol, sprayed down with Infusium leave in for a little protein, let it air dry 90% of the way, blow dried on low heat the rest of the way, greased my scalp and moisturzed NG and ends with Profectiv, and the slicked it down for my phony pony for the week. I'm rockin my lion mane today lol
 
What is your current hair length?
NL/SL. I will see once i take my sew in down on Dec 7th.

What is your regimen?
I keep my hair braided, either with braids or a sew in, every two or three months. I wash my hair every two weeks, followed up with a deep conditioner, I air dry. I do protein treatments after I take my braids down with Aphogee. I also moisturize and seal my hair daily with s-curl, Infusium, and ORS Olive Oil moisterizer. I try to workout 3 days a week, and eat healthy.

Do you use growth aides?(if so what and how?)
yes, Megatek, even though I may have to order more.
 
Hey ladies! Just checking in. I've been in braids for the past 3 weeks and I miss my hair! I've been washing in the braids weekly with diluted shampoo and I'm finally getting ready to take the braids out. I'm going to wear braidouts everyday until next week when o straighten for thanksgiving. Can't wait to finally do my first official length check since my last relaxer. Happy hair growing everyone!
 
I am still in braids under wigs. I think I'm becoming addicted to wigs. I have 5 new ones and trying to reinvent the old ones.
 
can i still join? If so these are my answers.

What is your current hair length?
i'm claiming SL :look:

What is your regimen?
i don't really have one, but let's see. I shampoo whenever i feel like my hair needs it with ors creamy aloe. I prepoo with some conditioner i don't care too much for. I cowash maybe like, 3+ times a week with either mane n tail conditioner or a moisturizing con (right now gvp conditioning balm) and follow up with roux moisture recovery. To moisturize i use qb aohc. I'm wigging it out right now.

Do you use growth aides?(if so what and how?)
nope

I flat ironed my hair for a wedding in Jamaica on Saturday. Last night when I got back I DC'd and I am now back in a bun. No more heat for the rest of the year. I hope I can go to February but my first goal to get to December 31.

good idea take it one step @ a time!
 
I've been trying to do no heat for at least 4 months, I almost broke down and pressed my hair for a wknd trip I have coming up, but i talked myself out of it. I am super tired of my current half wig, and will be making some new ones soon. I'm thinking about a kinky straight texture.
 
checking in ladies...Still sticking to my Reggie. I stopped moisturing with NTM for some reason my hair still feels dry no matter how much I use my hair drinks it up. So now I'm using HE Long Term Relationship so far so good. Since I learned how to make the perfect bun last week (thanks youtube) I have been a bunning fool. LOL Also I purchased a applicator bottle for my JBCO it's easier to grease my scalp with the pointy tip!
 
hey ladies!

I've been in cornrows with exts. For about 3 weeks and i'm sooo tempted to take them out this weekend, but will wait til after thanksgiving.
 
Just checking in. Haven't posted in awhile. Nothing new to report. I'm still PSing under a phony pony just about every day. I'm co-washing most days and shampooing/ DCing twice a week.
 
I am still in my sew in and it needs to come out. But I will hold on until Dec 7th, then its either bunning or braids afterwards, all depending how long my hair is.
 
Still under my half wig. I havent gotten sick of it yet, I actually enjoy the fact knowing my hair is protected and it still looks good.

Question for transitioners - Are you all planning on BCing in 2011 and still making APL? Or are you not cutting your ends in 2011? I'm hoping to BC sometime in 2011 and still make APL by December. I will be 21 months post by December 2011 and should be APL natural by then too.
 
Just checking in to say I took out my sew in and will be getting braids tomorrow. It looks my hair has grown a little bit, but I am looking for something major. Braids will at least allow me to moisturize like crazy. I also plan to be using sulfur with my braids.
 
Aww maN! I missed this!! I wanted to join but I'm supporting you guys from the sidelines and giving support all the way!

Ladies, be postive. Envision yourself with the hair u want swinging !! lol
When u get discouraged, Press on!
Do NOT give up, Do NOT fall off ur regimens for more than a day and Please stay focused!

If you can continue to be positive and see yourself there you will get it!!!!

Happy growing!

I only have 1.5 inches of relaxed hair left so I don't think it will hurt my chances of making apl . I wasn't really planning on bcing. I will just probably gradually trim them off.

My BC date is sorta up in the air. I make a year in April, but do not plan on cutting until I hit the 18 month mark in October. I'm not too sure on if my NG will make it to APL by then lol. It's at NL right now and I'm 7 months so it really depends on if I have a freakish growth rate for the next year or so. :lachen:
