[HeChangedMyName]

I did a mini check and it looks like maybe 2 inches in the back and three in the front before I will claim full APL. I really need to step my protective styling game up, I've been lazy and my hair is rebelling against all forms of pony tails so I'm a bit lost as to what I really need/can do protective wise. Other than that, I've been doing braidouts, and generally keeping my hands out of my head, going for week long stretches without putting a comb in their and that seems to be helping.

Oh, with a perfect hair game I could make that in about six months, but with the reality of setbacks and damage at my own hands from various shortcuts, bad products, pjism and such. . .could take years

3. What are you doing to get there?
4. How long are you giving yourself to reach your goal?

1. I measure using the hair at the top of my head, so I'll say I'm nape length.

2. I'm like a mile away from my first goal...well at least 6-7 inches.

3. Eating and living healthy. Keeping my hair conditioned, moisturized, and strong. Working really hard to not play in it so much.

4. I'm hoping to be there in a year. Hair is always growing no matter what so I just have to keep it on my head in order to reach my goal.
