Update...
I think that I made APL... what do you think?
I know the pictures are bad 'cause I am on a business trip in a hotel. When I get home, I may have DH take better photos.
I have about 1 inch of new growth, so I may not truly claim APL until I get a touch up.
Uggh, I MUST get to the gym
Claim it !
Congrats, looks to me like you're there with a little extra!

Here are the pics. I feel like my hair is growing in SLOW MOTION. I had to trim too. Guess, I'll keep on trucking to APL, slowly but surely

You're well on your way to APL, keep up the good work, your hair is looking healthy.

I think I joined this challenge--haven't checked-in in a while. Anyway, I BC'd after a year transition May 08. Here I am now as of 2 wks ago. Almost there! I've been trimming off of the bottom often to get rid of the layers. I hope to have almost layer-less APL hair by Dec.

I still haven't relaxed. I think I'm going to give myself some yarn braids for a month or so and see how that goes. If I can keep them up I might go for the super stretch and relax at the end of summer.

After swimming in a pool for about 2 hrs I washed with Mizani BB neutralizing and chelating shampoo, shampooed with Silicon Mix hydrating shampoo, and DC'd with heat for 30 min with ORS Replenishing.
My hair feels very moisturized and "light".
Aphogee Green Tea Reconstructor and Lacio Lacio as a leave on. Sealed with Cocasta Shikaikai Oil. Airdrying in a loose bun.

Hey yall I am back in braids and I dont think I will make it for the 20months like I thought cause its getting thicker and I am shedding like a cat. I will go ahead and relax in Nov which is 14 months and the longest stretch I have ever done. From then on I will only stretch 6 mos at a time. I am still hoping for APL by Dec but either way I am happy with my growth cause in little over a year I have gone from just below collar bone lenth to a major BC well above ear lenght (shaved in the back) and back to collar bone lenght. When I relax I think I will be at my longest lenght of my adult life.
This long stretch has also taught me that I dont have the patientce for natural hair.
I am also thinking about going to cosmetology school. Just a thought

Ditto! Just wanna raise some ££££s and I'll take some time off work for my first qualification (facials and skin evaluation). I'm also thinking of studying natural (nappy) hair science! I dream of owning a natural hair salon one day.

Hi Ladies,
I have to get a new camera..a family member broke mine. so i hope to do progress pics asap. i need to see for myself.
In any case...i am wearing my hair in a sock bun as well as peacock twist. I am determined to get past SL and APL by end of year.
I will be doing a Aphogee Damaged hair treatment today followed by DC with salerm wheat germ. I may add the pantene mask to it as well.

After a very exhausting business trip, I am finally home and .....
UNDER THE STEAMER! I am so addicted!
I have some CoCasta oil mixed with Kenra MC as a prepoo, then I will use my Joico Moisture Recovery line.
JOICO is the best thing that ever happened to my hair (and LHCF, of course).

Has anyone used a cellophane like sabastines clear with the henna or do you use it after and how did you do it (the process)?
My goal is to have glossy hair. I have done the henna glosses and it was not so glossy. I love the color deposit I get with henna but no shine.
