Lovely hair ladies. In the December pic my hair is in a straight wrap and in the March pic it's tightly curled. In the stand alone pic my hair was air dryed in a ponytail.

************UPDATE************

This is my quarterly update. I got a blunt cut about two weeks ago. I have been bunning out of laziness almost daily. Reggie: Wash every 2-3 days with Keracare 1st lather shampoo, towel dry, apply Shescentit Green Grape Leave-in Condish, apply Hairveda Green Tea Herbal Hair Butter, then bun. If I decide to flat iron, I use CHI Silk Infusion, then my Sedu temp betwen 280-320 deg. I DC once per week and texlax around 6 weeks.


Sorry for the HUGE pics!!!

Hey guys, I'm checking in with my three month progress shots 12/25/2008-3/25/2009.
I'm just comparing the nape and it's growing well. I'm just squeaking APL and in another month should be comfortably there. Happy growing!

12/25/08 Just below collar bone

3/25/09 just at arm pit

The first picture is me in my makeshift measuring shirt on 12/14. The second is me in the same shirt today. The rest are from today also.

Thanks ladies :look:. I am NOT feeling the 'V :nono:'. I think that is my husband's doing. I am going to redo my hair this weekend and if I truly have a v-shape, I will have him promptly cut it off.

My hair is so dry and I know exactly what it is.... I will learn not to put heat on my hair immediately after a henndigo treatment :wallbash:

I love your hair. Congratulations on your progress. I hope you keep your V. It looks good.
 
I know I am super late on this challenge, I've been MIA for a minute, but I'm back with a vengeance to get my APL again by December. I am hovering between neck length and shoulder length. Is it okay if I post for the upcoming previews, in June and afterward? I am having a hard time being able to post or copy/paste pictures. Hope to figure it out and post soon.

Hey Ladies,

I will not be posting a pic for March seeing that I am in braids. BUT I have seen some growth.

BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE NEXT TRIVIA QUESTION. I SHOULD POST IT AROUND MON OR TUES.
 
I hope to post pictures for the end of March. My hair is trying to inch its way to Apl. It feels good to be making progress because my hair has never been past shoulder length. I'm using ic pomade to hold my hair straight so I won't have to use any heat for my length check.

Wow, you hair looks fantastic! I think that you will be there by summer :yep:
 
Co-washed on Wednesday with Herbal Essences I found from years ago - circa 2002/2003, for permed/coloured/damaged/dry hair lol. There's a significant amount there, it'd be a shame to just chuck it out. I then DC'ed with AOHSR for 2-3 hours. Hair is soft and moisturised and scalp feels absolutely fine, thank God, after the years old condish use. Oh, and I smell all perfumy - been a while since I used strongly scented hair products other than MT and AOHSR... Might just buy more of the HEs for cheapie condish washes, we'll see.

Oh, and this morning I took pics, so here's my progress so far.....

 
My progress shot for March is in my siggy. I don't plan to do a straight length check until my relaxer in May.... if I make it that far.
 
Hey ladies! Sorry I don't check in as much as I should. I've gone back to bunning. I plan to bun until my next length check on 5/15. Still on my regimen of washing & DCing 1x a week. Since I am bunning, I am moisturizing and sealing every other day. I've also decided to transition...currently, I'm almost 12 weeks post and things are going well. I think I can do this. Not sure if the transition will just turn into a long stretch or not but we shall see.
 
just checkin. i am going to wash and dc my hair today. i am trying to see if i can get my hair cornrowed either this weekend or soon before my birthday Thursday.
 
Checking in... I am currently sitting under the dryer:burning:. I am trying the 15,15,15 method. I applied conditioner and sat under for 15 minutes then applied more and sat for another 15 mins. I'm doing this for a total of 45 minutes. I'll let you know how it turns out!
