I've decided to PS for the next 3 months

[FemmeCreole]

I'm in the process of braiding my hair (with extensions) in kinky twists tonight. When I wear braids I usually keep them in for a month and then re-do them. So I'm planning on keeping my hair in braids until January.

My own hair is currently SL. My hair got to SL in record time them seemed to screech to a halt. Hopefully with the braiding, I will get to my APL goal sooner rather than later.

I think that's a wonderful idea--that should help u get to APL in no time!

Awesome idea I am doing something similar because of school I am keeping my hair in crochet braids(redoing 1X a month) until Christmas break.

I am with you, I have been keeping my hair in cornrows for over year. I am really praying I will be APL by Jan 1st.

 

[FemmeCreole]

I was hoping to hit APL by the end of year but it's not going to happen

 

[Anakinsmomma]

I'm going to put some twists in next week. I hope to keep them in until the new year

 

[FemmeCreole]

thanks for the support gals!!

I'm finishing up the front before I go to bed... I'll tackle the middle tomorrow. I guess that's what I get for starting to braid my hair at 7PM

Sounds great! I just finished my first week of PS. I wore my half wig to work everyday. You and I are pushing for the same thing: APL! your idea is really good. Stay on your reggie and you may very well make it sooner than expected!

I did the same thing. I really want to make it to APL by February.

I'm PS-ing as well. I've PS-ed properly since August. I redid my yarn braids about a week ago and I plan on keeping it in for about eight weeks. Hopefully we'll both get to APL soon!

I PS every year in a bun from November 1st to April 30th and only wear my hair out on special occassions. I hope to reach APL by the end of my bunning.

Good luck Val! You can do it...who knows, you may get to the 3 month mark and decide to keep going

I decided to join the LadyP challenge last September, and I initially thought I'd stick with it and PS for 3-6 months. Well, I started at EL/NL, and after 1 year of PSing, I'm at APL, and I'm hoping to be grazing BSB by December

PSing works! Keep us updated on your progress missy

I'm with you on that OP. I normally PS'ing, but I'm really serious about it. I'm planning on keeping my hair cornrowed. I'm either going to wear wigs (more than likely) or weaves, but I really don't want to see my hair. I have a little bit out for my 1/2 wigs, but I'm wearing natural wigs, so I don't have to touch my hair with heat.

Good luck!

I owe most of my progress to PSing. My hair grew and I started wearing it out more. I didn't lose any length, but I didn't gain as much as I had when I was PSing.

Just last month I had my hair in extensions and I had the largest growth spurt I'd had my entire journey (almost 2.5 years).

One way to keep extensions in longer is to put them in a style when they start to look worn. I like to do some variation of a donut bun or updo style. That way, I leave it alone for at least another 1.5 -2 weeks.

Good luck girl! And even if you don't stick with the braids, you can find another PS that works for you and then alternate them.

 

[FemmeCreole]

I typically do well with the braids but they tend to get worn quickly because I wash them often... after each workout.

 

[vestaluv1]

Good decision!

Protective styling really helped me get from SL to APL in 6 months and continued to help me get to my current length.

Good luck op!!!

Hey, great idea. I was thinking of doing the same thing today. Well either twist braids or Invisible braids. I need to get to full APL by Dec, 2011 since i'm in a challenge and then hopefully on my way to BSL by April 2012

 

[Missdelicious1]

I actually had the same idea of PSing. I thought I would have reached APL by now, but I haven't. I just took my hair out of braids a few days ago and noticed that it was a bit thinner than normal. I dusted the ends and didn't lose much length, but my hair isn't lookng the way I want it to. So, I've also decided to PS in buns or wigs for the next few months until I make my short-term goal of APL. I really don't want to wear my hair out the way it is now anyway, so this is a good option. Good luck to you. Hopefully we will both make it to APL pretty soon!

 

[Leeda.the.Paladin]

Sounds like a good plan. I need to get back into my twists stat!

 

[MissDarcei]

I started a protective style challenge on my youtube channel. I'll be in twists or buns from November 1- March 1

 

[Evolving78]

i am going to give this PS thing a go and try bunning/french twist for the next five months. i plan on washing/cowashing twice a week and air drying. i will roller set as well. i really wanna reach APL by my birthday, so i will do all i can to get there. but i want to make sure i have fun with it, so i will buy a bunch of hair goodies and try different styles.

Protective Styling is the TRUTH. Good luck ladies. Hope to seepics next month.
