Is this realistic? please be honest

[Saida]

I think that if I beleive hard enough in it, and work hard trying to accomplish this, I can make it.

But I think that if im setting myself up for failure, thats most likely what will happend??

What do you think, is it completly unrealistic to reach theese goals?

If you're APL already, haven't you met the March '08 goal already? And if that's the case, then it seems likely that the next goal is possible, or shall I say likely? As long as you know your "normal" growth rate and are doing everything to enhance it, I think your goals are realistic.

Yes I have met my march goal, but I will be more satisfied when its full APL, and actually a little bit under, thats when I feel like I have reached a goal.. If I just have a little bit of hair touching APL, im not completly satisfied yet.. but I also realize it could be due to the shrinkage..

When you have new growth does it make the rest of your hair look shorter?

I think you can definately reach your goals, you seem to be meeting them so far, I say keep doing what you're doing, it's working.

If you're APL now, you've reached your second goal

I think your other goals are definitely possible. You're gonna have to be really diligent and keep those ends protected. Are you using any growth aids? Prenatal vitamins? That would really help things along

They sure are!!! You've already got a good start!!!

im only taking prenatals right now, i dont even know if thats against the rules in bootcamp 08, but I am pregnant so I have an excuse

Other than that I keep it very simple,

Wash my hair twice a week, and bun.
I moisturize my hair about 3 times a day, with NTM silk touch, then I put some ORS carrot oil on my ends and seal with Wonder 8 oils. my ends are hidden away 95% of the time now.. I had alot of problems with brakeage a few weeks ago, and though it was due to my many textures in my hair, so I wanted to get a corrective relaxer, but then I read sistaslicks article, where it said that I needed to correct my hair before applying a relaxer, and that has really been true for me, my hair is braking less. and I dont even feel like I need to correct anything now, just moisturize it and hide it away.
