Official: For Short Haired Ladies...APL by Dec'09!

*peeks in*

I haven't updated/reported to this thread in ages.

The very back of my hair is APL - just BARELY APL, too, but definitely APL. *sigh* Having 'reverse' layers sucks, I'd like to say!
 
This WAS encouraging! If I can get that length in 18 months, I'll be thrilled. Thank you! Any other women out there with pics like this?
 
Well, here is my june update, I updated my Signature pic, as well....APL will most definately take me till DEC to obtain...

Princess, your hair looks great!

my mini update: I think that I have some growth... I think that I'm a slow grower. I can't believe it's been 6 month since the start of this challenge. Anyhow, if anyone is interested in seeing some of my pictures, they are in my LHCF album. These are only curly pictures though. I don't plan to straigthen until my 1 year LHCF Anniversary in January.

Princess: The side pic looks like you're within an inch of APL!

Magnolia: I'm sure the length is creeping up on you.

Princess- your progress is outstanding. What is your regimen lady?
Click to expand...

Deep Condition EVERY WEEKEND...Roatate between, (KeraCare Humecto, Lekair Cholesterol, Lustrasilk Cholesterol Sheabutter Mango, Shescentit Bannana Brulee, ORS Replenish Conditioner) With heat 30-1hour

Bun 24/7 everyday...

The two things that really help my hair, deep condition everyweek and bunning.

I co wash with V05 moisture milks when I can.

Use heat once a month. i.e. flatironing and blowdrying

Airdry in a wet bun.

I also love my olive oil and coconut oil.

I hope, but my APL is alot further than others, its close to my BSL for me. So I will hang in the fight, as long as I see progress Im smiling.

Naw, I wish, thats cause my arm is up taking the pic. :lachen: APL is super far for me. I need at least 3 inches. :sad:

Update: 21 Jun 09. I washed my hair, and while my hair wet, Im 1/2 inch away from APL. So I was very excited.

I DC'd on Friday and today I will poo wash with aphogee and DC again. I bought some unrefined african shea butter today and mixed it with aloe vera gel, castor oil, EVOO and rosemary oil. I plan to use this to moisturize/seal. Any relaxed ladies use shea butter? Do you like it?
 
I'm patiently (not really) waiting for my Qhemet Biologics products to arrive. I also ordered the Jojoba Hair Milk from Shescentit's Father's Day Sale.

I'm going to co-wash today.
 
I was hoping to do a length check in early June prior to the HYH Challenge starting--didn't happen. So I will not be checking in with pics until Dec 15 or afterwards.
 
So I bought some EZ Combs (knockoff Hairzings) and I'm in love!!! I can definitely feel cute in these while protective styling. My hair will look even better when I get more length. Just gonna post some pics for inspiration if you're getting tired of buns.

This is a really cute style. Where did you buy your combs?
 
Checkin In...I washed my hair yesterday and condition and wetbun of course. I realize while my hair was wet, im 1/2 inch from APL. So you all know I almost crapt on myself. So im excited about that, and that gives me motivation.

Anyways, I bought some Organics Carrot Oil Cream, and on the top, it states NO petroleum & NO mineral oil. I actually like it. Its also alot cheaper than the ORS Olive Oil creme, and you get alot more. So this might be replacing my ORS olive oil creme.

I also did a baggy on my ponytail, with the Carrot Oil Cream, and it was very moisturizing. So I will probally do that once a week.

Here's my bootleg mini non update. I didn't gain a whole lot of length but my hair is in really excellent condition. Here it is 1 week post texlaxing after I DC'd and detangled. I tried a baking soda mix DC and it was fantastic. My prone to tangling hair only took about five minutes to detangle. I'm still going to bun until I get to APL and my layers grow in some more.

I haven't checked in this thread for ages! :blush:

No pics at the moment but my hair seems to be retaining. I'm able to use bigger sized rollers with ease now. I just need to up the ante with my DC'ing and moisturising as I'm going deeper into my stretch.
 
Ok, so I'm not sure if shea butter is for relaxed hair. This is only my third day using it so I'm trying to give it a chance but it's really thick and heavy feeling. I may have to pass this off to my fiance.
