Right now....my hair has some new growth going on 
. I am scheduled to have it relaxed in 2 weeks, so I am hoping that I will notice some growth!! I have kicked up my game some, but there are still some issues that I am dealing with that I am lacking 
. So I am claiming April 2007 as my month to reach apl!!!! Best of luck to each of you!

My hair is definitely growing. I feel my hair on a part of my back that I haven't felt in a loooong time. I'm so excited. I am almost 4 months post, and I am getting my hair straightened the end of the month. (I'm using TSU Homecoming as my 1 free pass from Hide Your Hair Challenge!) I can't wait to see how long it is when my stylist straightens it with the Marcel's!!!

Thank you ladies - I am thinking of cutting it to take out some of these dog-on layers. But it feels good to know that I actually made it!
Tsmith- you did tell me!!!

I have marked my calendar, Oct. 7th, 2006 has been the best hair day (so far 
) in my hair care journey!
I can definitely see APL on the horizon now...it almost seemed like I'd never get there...but I'm so close...I can taste it! 1.5"-2" will put me there!
I truly am loving my hair today and I feel like it's a new beginning...it's like all the patience and care is FINALLY paying off and it's such a great feeling! Thank you for letting me get that off my chest!!
Just got my October '06 Phyto touch up!

Congrats Determined to Grow!!! And MonaLisa you're very close to APL. I'm jealous
Well I'm not as discouraged as I was, but it's so frustrating to see all these ladies with beautiful brastrap and midback hair and it's taking me forever to get to APL!!! But I washed and deep conditioned Thursday, and with my hair partially airdried it measured at 18.5 inches, with some reaching 19 inches. My goal is for all the hair to be 19 by Thanksgiving when I relax. 20 is APL on me and if I can get there by Feb. I'll be one happy chick Good Luck ladies!!

Hey Breezy (w/the cute kiddies...
)Girl....my feelings would get hurt and my face would get cracked (think Barbara Walters face without Botox injections) everytime I'd roll up on the board and look at these bsl/midback/thick heads of hair.
But we gotta be hair soldiers
and keep up the hair fight....we'll get there...patience and care really is the key.Sheeeeeeeeeeet....APL will feel like BSL to me....and BSL will feel like midback!
I'll be happy *Hair hug to you Ms. Breezy*

Hair soldiers, I love it! Ok, new challenge for me...I need to stop going in the threads where other ladies make my little progress look like poo poo! Heck, APL is long to me, and I will make it in February. Let's get growing!

...Aiiight.....I'm like...why everytime I come on the board....I log off feeling like I don't have an adequate amount of hair?
And to be honest...if...no, when (learning to claim) I make BSL...that's more than enough for me to contend with.

See, now I'm going into mother mode (have a 13 year old and 3 year old)....You have adequate amount of hair you just want more and there's nothing wrong with dat but don't ever feel like it's not enough...There's women who hair is shorter and wish their hair was your length...girl you know in the real world they think this is long..but we know what long is...and remember when you look at these pictures of all the beautiful long hair...remember...some started with damaged shoulder or shorter lengths and now their hair is midback....all it takes is time and patience....I look at it like this in 10 months...I will be midback...now 10 months is not a long time....hang in there and watch it happen.....

I added wet pics to my photo album. My hair is slowly getting longer, I'm excited to see my Jan results. I just need to decide if I'm shoulder length. Ladies, please take a look at my photo gallery and let me know if you think i'm shoulder length.

I'm kinda going crazy right now.
I stop checking the length,
so i don't know where my hair is right now but i know I'm not APL.
I want to take these braids out but I'm fighting that feeling
I want to keep them in for a year but fighting your self mentally is a hard thing to do.
1:no checking my length anymore until after the hide your hair until Christmas challenge is over.
2: no redoing my braids until Jan of 07
3: get over the feeling of wanting to take my braids out and cut my hair.
I won't have anymore updates until Jan
hopefully by then i will be close to APL.
Happy growing ladies
