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

how far do you think i am from APL
judging by this picture?

it's only a pull down of one section of my hair
but no more heat for me until the end of the year.

i dunno if you can tell.
but...

here we go:

Where Am I?

Hey runrunrunner, I think you're there honey. I know that you don't want to but you may need to get your hair flat ironed so we can really tell for sure. But by the looks of it - you have arrived at APL. We have 2 more weeks to go so make sure you retain every tiny millimetre.

I just update my finishing pics in my siggy for the end of the month because I will be braiding my hair tomorrow and won't be able to do it then. Good luck to everyone.

to be honest...

i'm never sure with these length checks. sometimes they look closer (to the goal/mark)...then they look farther...and then they look closer again. so, i'm not sure about my methods. i was going to ask my mother to help me last night, but i chickened out lol.


edit:

you know what...
i think i'll just wait another 2 weeks
then i'll straighten
because i'm not taking my twists out just yet lol

That's the spirit!
 
Your hair is right at the crease of your arms pit...you got it , as we have stated on another post... there is JT(just touching) APL and Full APL .
 
thanks for your input.

i guess i'm just like "whoa" about the length
so, i'm like "is it? naaaaah...maybe? probably not...really?" hahaha
even if it's not completely APL
it's longer than it's ever been (at least since i was a small small child)

happy APLengthing to you all!!!
 
Hi, guys, I'm in! I'm new and I can't wait to get started. I just cut my APL a month ago and I'd like to see how quickly it will come back. First, I need to take some pixs to document....I need to get tech-wise.

I wish you all good success!

I didn't realized the challenge ends so soon. I thought it was for the entire year. We all had different goals dates. Oh, well :sad:.
 
Oops...I too thought it was for the whole year. I'll post my final update around the 31st, although I'm probably not there yet...:ohwell:
 
I'm in the APL Home Stretch Challenge, and I will make it for just the nape. But I'm joining this one and staying until I'm APL in the crown. Sometime in the next week or so, I'm going to put in cornrows. I hope. I'm not that good at doing them.
 
HERE I STRIVE TO SL.... I AM MAKING GREAT PROGRESS WITH THE ROUTINE....CATHY HOWSE CHALLLENGE....I HAVE MANGED WITH WASHING 2 X A WK AND DC HEATED CAP, NO BRUSHING AT ALL VERY WELL....tHE dOMINICAN pRODUCTS THAT i USE ARE THE bomb....CHECK OUT MY UPDATES...www.greenwings23/fotki.com

Well, I know I won't make this because I had to cut a few inches off. Maybe by the end of this year. :look: Good luck to everyone else!
 
I would like to join this challenge. Hopefully I will be APL by the end of 08.. I think that I can safely say that I am collar bone length at the moment. I am striving for midback so if I get apl length Im sure that I have atleast a 50 percent chance of meeting my dream goal of midback length on the other side of the rainbow lol
 
I'm in!

I think I'm about 1.5 inches away from APL. I'm not sure how long it takes my hair to grow so I guess I'll find out, hopefully by Spring in '08

ETA: A pic from November of my starting length



I made it! :grin::grin:

Here's a pic from today. My hair was not straightened, I had to stretch it:



ETA: Ooops I'm all late! lol, I forgot to post my pic by March 31, but I'm pretty sure I'd reached my goal...
