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

[flowinlocks]

nooo glamchick, dont cut. they dont look thin to me, ok they are not like the thickest of thick but your hair looks like it has so much movement and it looks like your ends are healthy. wait a few months because it looks like APL is right around the corner.

My ends are sooo uneven but every month that goes sees them filling in. I think my hair grows very unevenly

(of course cut if it will make you happier about your hair )

Just my opinion, I wouldn't chop off the ends. No reason too. They look nice to me. Leave the sissors at bay.

I couldn't have said it better.

 

[Sapphire_chic]

WOW futurescbride....claim it! claim it! if you dont, i will
you looks to be full, healthy, swangy APL well done

:Copy of 2cool:

all the best on your wedding day.

 

[Sapphire_chic]

back to say:

just looked at your progress and you have come from FAAAR far away in no time at all!

spill the beans hehe

 

[The Princess]

I plan to stick around til December! Good luck ladies!

OMGosh, Im so happy for you, your hair look luscious. Whats your reggie?

Your hair grew super fast too. Congrats for your wedding and your hair.

 

[trendsetta25]

I say keep doing what you doing, its growing and that all that matter. Plus your hair is growing and you have pics to prove it. Whats your reggie, Im trying to do a long stretch myself.

Basically i co-wash weekly with V05 Moisture Milks and DC with ORS Hair Mayo. My hair loves coconut oil and my scalp loves peppermint oil. I'm using MN (mixed with castor oil) to try to boost my growth but i'm running out. Since times are rough; when i run out, I'll just use up the rest of my OCT and MT. As far as moisture i have a glycerin and pure aloe juice mix that i keep in the fridge. I've had a bottle of ApHogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer that was just sittting in my stash...so i might start using that as well.

i'm going to be very strict on myself for the rest of the year. I joined the "Protective Stylin" for the last 3 months CHALLENGE! (http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=404710)
so i'll be bunning for the rest of October and weaving it up for Nov and Dec. i told my lil sis to hide my blow dryer and flat iron.

I couldn't have said it better.

Thanks

yes i am so standing by for your regi.

 

[beans4reezy]

OKay here is my updates, we might have to extend this challenge to march 2010 because it's not looking to good for me either.LOL

I wouldn't be so sure. You look to be maybe an inch or less for APL. I think you just may get it by December

 

[KizzieNapps]

I forgot to post my update for September but I think I have made it to APL!!! My hair is about an inch past CBL length on the side and is at APL in the back. I think I'll straighten again for Christmas. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out what to do with it during the winter. I'm debating on getting a diffuser or just trying to wear a twistout. I just know I wont feel like twisting it up each night

This is a pic of my hair when I straightened at the end of August

Here's my hair natural

HHG Ladies!

 

[SelfStyled]

Ok. I am actually happy with my progress now ladies after seeing it through pictures. This is my 1 year comparison…not much but I am getting there!

Dry Puffs after airdrying with coconut oil:
September 2008

September 2009

Ponytails:
September 2008

September 2009

Your puff looks lucious- Definitely thicker and longer. Good job Dapper.

Trendsetta, hang in there!! you have blunt healthy thick ends...when you finally make APL it will be a beautiful thing..and Dapper that ponypuff really grew, hang in there girl!!! OKay here is my updates, we might have to extend this challenge to march 2010 because it's not looking to good for me either.LOL


My ends are so freaking thin, I just wanna chop them off....But I'm starting to believe that's just how my hair will always be.

Awesome job Glamm!!! Just think once you get a set reggie, then it will be really on.

Looks like I made APL.... and just in time for my wedding. So can I claim it???

CONGRATS ON MAKING IT PAST APL!!!! I'M SURE YOU'RE PAST IT BY NOW

 

[simplyconfident]

kizzienapps: congrats on APL. i love your hair natural and straight!!
futuresbride: girl that hair grew something fast, and you retained it! congrats on making APL:waytogo:
glamchick84: your ends look good to me. if you think you need to trim i suggest you do so gradually. you'll be APL very very soon.
dapper: that ponytail has grown a lot. congrats on your progress.

:update: i'm getting ready for my second trim of the year this saturday. i will post progress pics then. my hair has been looking kinda shabby to me, but i think it's because my ends look a little funky. i've been DC twice per week but slacking on the vitamins. i plan to take them daily for the rest of the year for optimual growth.:superbanana:

 

[BGT]

My update is in my avatar. That was a curly rollerset, but I flatironed my hair (no pics) and I am just one inch from APL! I should get there by December

 

[danigurl18]

Congrats ladies!!

 

[ChemistryGirl]

I haven't been in this thread in a while and in that time there have been so many updates with GREAT progress. Congrats to all those that made APL and keep up the good work to everyone else!

Here is my progress so far this year. First came thickness then length. I think I'm a slow grower.

02/22/2009

05/26/2009

09/12/2009

And just for fun here's a flexirod set I did, I think this is my new fav non-bun protective style

 

[Minnie]

Just checkin in. Not much to update, I have been slacking for the past few weeks. But I am focus again, just got individuals on Saturday.

Congrats Futurebride and KizzieNaps on making APL.

 

[loulou82]

UpDaTe: Tomorrow will be 3 weeks in my twists. It took a lot for me not to redo them constantly. I'll wash, DC, and re-twist this weekend and keep them in another 3 weeks.

 

[DaPPeR]

Awwwww futurescbride's wedding is tomorrow. Congratulations on APL and ur wedding!

 

[Sapphire_chic]

OOO I hope she has the best day ever!! and it must feel so good to have reached APL.

 

[LaidBak]

Great progress ChemistryGirl!!! And I too LOVE flexirods.

Congrats and best wishes to FutureSCBride. I guess she'll have to change that username now

 

[Ganjababy]

Same here- extending it to March would be a great idea Anyone else agree?

Your hair looks amazing though glamchick84

Trendsetta, hang in there!! you have blunt healthy thick ends...when you finally make APL it will be a beautiful thing..and Dapper that ponypuff really grew, hang in there girl!!!

[Ruby True]

Hi,
longtime lurker coming into the light
If the challenge is extended to March 2010 can I join ? My current length is my siggy and Im 1o wks post. I have been this length forever.

 

[simplyconfident]

I went to have my ends trimmed for the second time this year (this is a first for me and one of my 2009 hair goals which I'm very proud of achieving)!!!

So here is my progress thus far. I took the second pic just for fun to show my layers which I'm trying to grow out. I think I'm about 1/2-1 inch from APL (my ends are slightly curled under).

 

[xquisitduchess]

i self relaxed...my hair came out texlaxed but thats okay my edges look alot better so dat makes up for it been underproccessed. Here is a picture of my hair airdried i will post another pic once i stop being lazy and i flat iron. I dont know how many more inches i need to be APL.

 

[SouthernStunner]

Hey ladies,

For the most part I have been just lurking. I dont think I will extend the challenge until March. Someone else can take over the challenge and do a APL 2010 challenge. I have really enjoyed this challenge with all of you and though I didnt make it myself I have enjoyed the ride!

Please dont forget to check in often. My last prize give away will be in the month of November and is worth 120.00. I am really excited about this give away.

Blessings,
SouthernStunner

You might be APL already. You haven't flatiron yet and your hair looks super close to APL. Once you do flatiron, it will give you a better view of where you are at. I really hope you are.

ITA, flat ironing your hair will put you right there!

 

[Kurly K]

Is anyone elses hair APL in the front but not from the back?

 

[PaleoChick]

BTW, KurlyK; BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!!
As an update, I am two inches away from APL front and back, and deep in the center of the back of my head, I am about 3.5 inches (not bad considering 18 months ago I had a bald spot where a braid now resides), so I don't think I will be APL by Dec 2009, but I think I will be by 2010 (Jan or Feb the latest). I am still hanging in there, and I will be wiggin it still, at least until 5/1/10.

I think you'll be able to tell for sure once you flatiron, but you look close to me.

I love your curls and your color.
