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

dontspeakdefeat said:
Hi Ladies, It's been a while since I checked in. Not sure if I will reach APL by December but I will come close. Doesn't seem like I have made much progress but the sides of my hair have caught up. I am about 3 inches from APL probably more like 4 but I won't dwell on it if I make it sometime in Feb or March. I am loving my hair right now because it has proven to me that it can do that "dang on thing"



Here is a pic for where I am now:

I'm with you there...I think it'll be somewhere around there for me, too, barring a major growth spurt between now and then. I did just buy some flowers of sulfur to add to my mn mix, though:look:
 
I know I'm way late...but I am on a personal challenge for APL by December 09 (xmas to be exact)...Good luck ladies, Im in it with you!!! :grin:
 
UpDaTe: I echo the sentiment that I probably won't make APL this year. I had my hair press and trimmed last month and it set me back. The only good thing is most of my single strand knots are now gone and it reverted back perfectly after 12 days. Hopefully I'll be APL by March.

Yayness! Thanks. Lol. I have 4 1/2 inches of hair. Do you guys think I'll make to APL by DEC 2009?

You can maybe make it. How many inches do you need for APL and what is your growth rate? For example if you only need 2-3 inches or less then you can probably make APL if you grow .5 inches or more per month and don't encounter any set backs.
 
My hair grows like half an inch per month. And I'm 5'1 1/2. I really just want to be able to put my hair in a ponytail. I can now but it's not cute and my hair is mega thick. Lol. I regret doing my BC now...
 
I thought I would be APL by now but still not there!! THis is sooooo HARD!!! So I guess by December for sure! If I dont have any set backs I hope to be there.

Sorry for pic being big

I relaxed after a 14 week stretch. Here is my progress. I’m not sure how I feel. My next and final relaxer for the year will be December 21, 2009 which will make it four relaxers this year.

ETA: judging from the progress in June, I am basically the same exact length. This growing hair thing can be frustrating sometimes, especially if you have pics to prove you didnt make progress. :nono: yeah my hair grew but I definitely did not retain!

Don't be discouraged, you look really close to APL. I am pretty sure you will be there by your next touch up.

Yeah, I agree that you should not be discouraged. I have learned not to measure right after a relaxer. I cannot explain it but my hair seems smaller and finer after a relaxer. It doesn't make sense! But a few days later after I wash it one time my hair seems thicker and fuller. That's when I can see my progress. It makes no sense but its true for me. So maybe wait to measure once you've washed one time.

Don't get discouraged, you are very close to APL. I'm sure you will make it by December. And I agree with a previous poster, wait a couple days after your relaxer and take another progress shot. You're almost there!

Do NOT, DO NOT Get discouraged or Frustrated, just bun it up or sew it up, and in few months you will most definately, well should be there.
 
Just checkin in. This time of the relaxer cycle is pretty boring for me, Im 4 weeks post, NG springing in full blossom, helmet head is forming. I cowash last night with Mizani Thermasmooth Conditioner. Tonight I moisturize with Hawaiin Silky 14n1 and sealed with Hairveda Vatika Frosting.

I know I have not posted in this thread for a while but currently I am 3inch away, so unless some mega growth spot happens, there is no way I will be APL by DEC 2009.
But I am happy to some extent as it is definately growing. I wont be doing another length check until next year (hope to be in braids from end of nov till jan/feb or so, I think next length check will be around valentine's day).
I will be living this APL business till June 2010 will ne changing the siggy as well, hopefully it's before then.
