I'll repost here. I posted in the original thread because I didn't realize this one existed.

Here's my update pic (4 weeks post relaxer).Last week I decided to cut about 1.5 inches off. They weren't split....just My hair looks much better and I still think I can make APL by the end of the year. My hair grows uneven and I wear it up or rollerset so that its not noticeable. I've given up trying to determine how far away I am

[FlawedBeauty]

I am almost there. Pic in my siggy.

 

[nicki6]

Thank you Monalisa and Ella I'm feeling WAY impatient though

 

[nicki6]

Here's the latest. I relaxed today and am still unsure of making it by Dec, but I press on. I have no idea why the right side is longer Im just glad that my ends are in good shape:wink2:

 

[Namilani]

I'm not too good at this hair pic-taking (or using streak-free window cleaner) :

I'm pretty confident I'll make it. This pic was 7/10/07 and about 10 days post relaxer. I've gained about 1.5 inches since then, but my ends aren't too pretty so I'll most likely trim. I plan to relax within the next two weeks after stretching for 12 weeks! It can't come soon enough, lol!!

Sweetheart, CONGRATULATIONS!! You ARE already at APL, it looks like to me! You should back yourself on the back...literally...and get ready for BSL because you're well on your way!

 

[leleepop]

Great progress ladies! I will post in December after my relaxer. I hope to lay on armpit without stretching and I will put a pic in my siggy. wish me luck!hhg

Yep, that sure looks APL to me unless I'm seeing things and I don't think I am, since I just got 2 new pairs of glasses Congratulations sweetie and come on over to the BS challenge, you have graduated...lol.....

Hey Mz. Thang...I can't wait to see your progress....(((hugs)))

 

[joemerald]

Not sure if I joined this challenge, but I am updating anyhow since my objective was to reach APL by Christmas. I say was because after stretching for 10 weeks I relaxed on Wednesday and even though my hair is noticably longer when I took a pic in the back it looks the same as 10 weeks ago. From the side it looks like I have reached. I am not posting any pics or whatever yet. I am horrible at styling my hair and it seems my hair always rises up and not lay flat, so I will get a dominican wash and set in the next two weeks and since my hair will be nice and light I hope to be able to accurately report results.

Jo

Mad @ "..unless I'm seeing things and I don't think I am, since I just got 2 new pairs of glasses"

I'm trying to peep your tiny updated siggy pic now...I might need to borrow a pair.. *dangit Nikos*

Now YOU know, my hair grows like 1/3 of an inch per month tops...ain't that much progress to show.

(I'm touching up this weekend - 12 wks seems to be the limit now the hair starts getting pizzy with me now when I try to go past that and I don't feel like fighting - I should have the usual crappy camera phone siggy update by 9/22, 9/23.)

*hair hug back to my Aries sista*

You're silly. Anyways, I still can't wait to see your progress pics. I need to get a better after pic to post here, cuz the one I have is not happening
but due to the Hide ya Hurr Til Xmas challenge, I can't post a newer one Girl, I can't even get to 12 weeks, stretching. I always cop out at 10 weeks. I'm going to shoot for 12 weeks this time

 

[Lavendar]

Congrats to all the new APL ladies! I'm almost sure I'm there, but I'm sticking to my "coming out" date of 10/31.

 

[Sounique]

I'm trying to make it to Apl by April 08. Did you all set a date and is it too late to join?

 

[Namilani]

MonaLisa, Serenity_Peace, and tsmith thanks for the congrats! Um, I surely wish I'd seen this a month ago before I abused my poor little head if hair! I fell into a hair depression around that time. Since then, I've done so much (and too little) to my hair-- *sigh* I don't even wanna talk about it ... I'll definitely be getting a trim 10/26 when I finally relax, and I've had the most breakage in the last month than I've had all year. Stretching, stress, and heat are so not good when you just met APL and are headed for BSL (not good for me, anyway)... I need to quit playing playing and put together my pic album to keep me motivated! Hopefully when I take my next set of pics I will be at at least the same length...

I'm not sure if you are in this pic, but if you have 1.5 inches since this then you def made it. Congrats.

Right, you have to listen to your hair. I relax based on how much ng I have. If I can't stretch past 10 weeks, I don't try. I would rather have the growth I did obtain rather than losing alot due to stretching. NO heat is not a good thing ( imho) if you really want to see progress you have to put in the extra work. The very least just wash/co wash and keep your hair pinned up and deep condition once a week and you should be fine. You will see progress.

Girllllllll, I'm trying as a matter of fact, I have been trying since joining but I get antsy around 10 weeks. I'll try again for the xmas reveal but it's super hard for me

Okay, I know right. I think this may be the last challenge for me. I have been doing it since 12/05 and it has definitely helped me but I'm tired of just keeping it pinned up all the time.
