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

Just checkin in: Im 7 weeks post and decided to go 10 weeks. So the front of my hair is in twist, so im go try to keep them in there for at least a week. My hair dresser stated my twists, look like stuffed twist, cause of the NG, but i liked it, and it helped me out alot, so I just have to worry about the back half of my head. Which will be alot easier.

We still have a ways to go ladies, let's stay motivated!!! We can do it!!:grin: For those who are close, keep doing what you're doing. For those who are not so close, It's time to kick it up a notch! And just remember it's still gonna be fun to see how much progress the hair has made from babying it all these months. If you feel like being lazy, don't worry we all get that way sometimes, but don't be too lazy. :nono2: Try to correct any problems stat, to avoid any major setbacks. I'm cheering us on!!! :clap::clap::clap: :yay::yay::yay::yay: :yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay:

Thanks Flowinlocks, I need your cheers! :grin:
 
I joined this challenge earlier in the year. My hair has been growing like crazy. Anyway, I think I've made it, and it's only August! (pic in avi). I guess BSL is my next goal--maybe. I'm getting the urge to bob it for the fall/winter, and ultimately getting rid of the last bit of layers.
 
Guys, I did a big chop this year, Jan 2009. My hair grows almost an inch every month. I get relaxers every 5 to 6 weeks--I know, but I've always done it this way and it never ruined my hair. I did a big chop because I wanted change. And right now, my hair is at the bottom of my neck...Do you guys think i would make it to APL by this December? Thanks guys.
 
Well, I am back to square one. I straightened my hair on Saturday and saw that the left side of my hair was much longer than the right side. :wallbash:

I had my DH pull out the scissors and that is all she wrote.

I am now barely SL. But, I believe that I can make APL by December.

I have one side of my hair growing faster than the other as well, I'm real curious to see what it looks like when I perm it.

Yep my hair does the same thing. I cut it once before thinking maybe my hair on my left was breaking, and of course it wasn't. But I am not trimming again. I will just stay in rollersets until it evens out.

I have one side grower faster than the other and the back is shorter than the sides. The back was severely broken off when I started this journey. I haven't had a trim since starting this HHJ so I think I will get one to start the new year. I will have things evened up.

I originally said I wouldn't trim either but because my goals have changed I will trim.
 
I wore twists all week for protective styling. It wasn't bad. This week I'm trying everyday co-washing and going. My regimen changes every week, but I'm confident that I'll make it to APL by December. A few pieces are already there:)

I don't think I'm going to make APL this year but I won't give up. I'm going to continue my vits and stay in braids until the end of the year.:look:

Keep the faith, Sis! We will make it!!!!:yep: I am getting to the point where I hate having my hair out of braids, because it seems like it breaks...:wallbash:, So, I will be back in PS hopefully this weekend. I wish I could corn-row my own hair, life would be sooo much easier.
