It's FINALLY Happening! APL In 08! Who wants to join me?

[chayil0427]

Oooooooooh I've so gotta get to a camera and take some pics. My hair is FINALLY looking like and doing what I want!

Since I went back to Nexxus (I'm using the ones in my siggy) and added Castor Oil my hair is a dream come true. It's beautifully thick and shiny and I rarely see a broken hair, and my last attempt at self relaxing was a success, and I plan to continue.

Right now I'm just using Nexxus and Castor Oil (Plus ApHogee treatment for damaged hair and ApHogee Intensive Keratin every once in a blue moon -- I just get the packets of my choice when I feel like I need a protien boost).

I'm gonna get pics up ASAP. I just wanted to kinda toot my own horn for a minute and thank all you wonderful ladies for posting your questions and comments on the board.

For me It's APL in 08! If someone hasn't already posted this challenge I'd like to start it (or otherwise I'd like to join).

There are no rules really...just post your tips and questions and offer support for those breaking through the shoulder length barrier on their way to APL (I really believe this is the most challenging phase of the hair growth process.)

Im in. I am aiming for healthy apl by the end of this year....

 

[CAPlush]

Oh, I'll definitely get there in 2008. I don't have a schedule, but I think March 2008 I will be able to sport my APL hair. I am SL right now, reaching towards collarbone. I think it might be about 4 inches to get to APL, then I'll have an extra inch or 2 to trim off (I still have some overprocessed ends in the front of my hair).

 

[glamazon386]

I should be there in 08. I know I'll be to shoulder before this year is up. Count me in!

 

[texasqt]

Count me in! My goal is to be APL by December 2007 but it just may go over into 2008. Either way - I'm gonna get it!!!

 

[Determined22]

I'm hoping to be there before the end of 07, but I'm in....

 

[BrockStar]

OoOohhh my first realistic challenge!!! I'm in!! But it may only be APL Stretched...That's the goal for me!! Yay!

 

[BlueEra]

Im in! I hope to be at APL by Spring 08

 

[tld723]

Can i join? If I stretch real hard I am at collar- boneish... at least I think I am I am definitely one who thinks simpler is better.

 

[KeraKrazy]

I'm in I've got a LOOONG way to go (I'm not even SL yet) so it may not be until Dec 08 but I'm optimistic so count me in.

 

[Malice]

I'm in! I'm in! I hope to be there by fall of this year and the first time it will ever be that long in my life. Getting past the shoulder and a little past shoulder area does seem to be THAT hurdle.

 

[deniseloc]

I want in. I think by Jan 08 I will get to apl I will stay at apl for the remainder of the year and then trim cut with every relaxer touch up till it is a even full apl by Dec 08.

 

[preciousjewel76]

I'm in! I've gone from mid-neck to just touching my shoulders since I joined in October. I really think I can get to APL by next year (hopefully by Christmas '07). Matter of fact, I'm claiming it!

 

[Plenty]

why not? I will keep my hair in braids until then. My hair braids. It always grows long and strong! I may be able to reach it in a year.

 

[PinkPeony]

Im in. I am aiming for healthy apl by the end of this year....

Same here.in case I don't make it I hope to make APl before Spring 08

 

[RZILYNT]

Congrats on your success! You will have to give me the breakdown on the castor oil. I have sworn not to purchase not one more hair product. But please share how you are using it. I may have to break down and squeeze this one in.

I will root all of you ladies on to your next hair goals!

Toot toot!!! I'm in!

 

[gymfreak336]

I'm in. When my hair is wet the longest front sections are almost collerbone length. I hope to be half way to apl by the beginning of next year so I should be apl by next summer.

 

[chayil0427]

Yaaaaaaaay! I'm glad so many people are interested. I'll compile a list of everyone's name on the opening post later...probably this weekend. I just toook a midterm and my brain is melted so I'm gonna go home and go to sleep. erplexed

[princcessnadia]

count me in also

 

[BroadstreetBully]

I'm in too, I'm transitioning and I should be longest layer bottom of neck/above shoulder by Aug '07. Therefore I should be around shoulder at the end of the year, and APL sometime around the end of '08? Sounds about right, I'm so ready!

 

[Miss_Jetsetter]

Add me to the list please!
After 2 years on the board and a load of setbacks, I think I will get there in '08!

 

[jovan787]

I'm soooo in! I realllly hope I can I make it. I think I'm 4 inches away from APL. Good luck ladies we CAN do this!!

 

[sareca]

I'll make APL again this year, probably around September.
This time it will be thick and beautiful instead of scraggly and ugly.

 

[JuicesN'Berries]

Excuse me but castor oil is the shhhhhh! I use it whenever wherever. I love using it when my hair is wet and I wanna do a wash and go. It has been the one product that I can honestly say made a huge difference in the thickness and overall feel, or should I say texture of my hair............

Anway I'm a little past shoulder length I think I have about 4 inches to go until I reach APL.......So with the help of protective styles I will be there by November 07'....but I will give myself some trimming room and say January 08'.

I am extra extra excited......so I say all that to say this...IM IN!!!!

 

[janeemat]

I just posted a thread about me reaching APL. This challenge sounds realistic after hearing from all the encouraging ladies. APL by Jan 08, here I come!

 

[MonaRae]

Count me in! I need all the help I can get!

Neither am I, but I think I'm gonna go for it. I'm tired of my weave and kind of want to start working with my real hair now. As much as love how it looks on me, I hate that it's not mine, LOL.
