Here is my progress picture. I gained a little length. I am disappointed, because the henna caused a setback in March. My U-shape has thinned out and is now a V :sad: Oh, well its only hair. I hope to still make APL by December. It looks as if I only have about 2 inches to go. Once I finally make it I will keep it that length until the broken sections on the side and middle catch up.

ITA. I wouldn't even call it a set back, more like a slight bump in the road. You've made great progress and your hair looks really healthy. You'll definently be at APL by December. Here are my advanced congrats:

haha I did get it! I'm gonna wear it to a wedding on sunday with these killer shoes- I'm gonna look so good hahaha. I was going to do like a fro-hawk but I thought the florals called for something softer, so I'm going to do a bun with like a soft bang that waves down the side. i'll get someone to take pics :grin:
 
I went and got my hair flatiron yesterday, which I should've gotton a relaxer. Doing an egg protein next week to prep for my relaxer. This weekend Im going to keep my hair moisturized. I will be posting pics when I get my relaxer.

I will be trying low manipulation this time around to get my hair APL by DEC.

I cowashed my hair today in a ponytail. No detangling or messaging at all (this is a first for me). I also added my leave ins and seald all while my hair was in a ponytail.

I got the idea form watching bronzeg's yt videos.
 
I had to do some trimming, since the bleach i had put on my hair after my bc is starting to chew my ends.

I will upload some pics of my progress soon!
 
Everyone is doing so well! My hair has made virtually no progress since April but my bangs now touch my chin so I guess not every section of my hair is at a standstill.

OMG Futurebride!! Your hair looks friggin amazing!! That is great progress for 4 months. How much did it grow and what is your reggie?

Thanks! I'm not sure exactly how much it's grown but it is a huge change. I need to get one of those hair growth shirts. My reggie is very simple. I wash with shampoo once a week (aphogee) and then use the aphogee 2 min. I DC 2-3x a week with lustrasilk shea butter and I moisturize and seal daily with HE LTR and EVOO. Oh and I always airdry or use my hooded dryer for rollersets (which doesn't happen often because I wear a bun religiously). That's basically it. When I first started I used a bunch of different products and was trying everything that I read about but these products work for me so I'm sticking with them. I do plan to use castor oil for thickness. HTH!
