Your hair is gorgeous! Congratulations on making APL!!:grin:
 
Well, ladies, I am transitioning to natural, and am bowing out of the APL by December 2009 challenge (mostly because I keep getting the urge to cut my thin ends caused by my last set of braids). I'm gonna try to transition for at least a year, so maybe I will make APL in 2010, but it will be short-lived,:grin:.

Good luck to all my hair sistas striving to make APL by December, and congrats to all of you who have made it ahead of schedule!!!

You will most definately make it in 2010. Maybe you can hide your ends so you won't get the urge to cut.

I just donated my pj products to my lil cousin, so I am able keep the products that I know work for me.

I work out 4-5 days a week (military)

I wear a bun 99.9% of the time

I stretch my relaxer 10 weeks plus at the minumum (This time im going for 15 weeks)

I visit the hair dresser once a month, maybe less than that if no special occassions.

I wet bun and air dry=no heat

Every week I wash with CON Shampoo Green Label (Old Version) I always follow up with CON Conditioner Purple Label (Old Version)

If I can, I co wash with: Shescentit Advocado Conditioner, V05 moisture Milks, Mizani Thermasmooth Conditioner, Aphogee 2 min Kertain, Mane N Tail conditioner, I rotate between these.

I Deep Conditioner Every weekend on dry hair: LeKair Cholesterol w/Olive Oil, Shescenit Bannana Brulee, Lustrasilk Shea Butter w/Mango, Suave Humecto w/coconut Oil, ORS Replenish Conditioner (Old Version). I rotate between these.

I love GVP Paul Mitchel Leave in Conditioner and Silicon Mix (major slip) for my wet buns. I rotate between these two.

Daily Moisturizers I use: Palmers Coconut Oil Hair Milk, Hawaiin Silky 14n1, Profective Break Free Daily Strength Moisturizer, HE LTR. Sometimes I just use water. I rotate between these.

I seal with Hairveda Vatika Frosting and ORS Olive Oil Creme. I rotate between these two.

I trim twice a year.

I was on and off with OCT-I believe this jump start my growth.

I relax with Regular Mizani Lye or Mizani Sensitive Scalp. I go to my stylist for my relaxer sessions.

I only comb my hair twice a week. Wash/Co wash days and DC days.

Thats girl. That is very comprehensive!! :grin: I appreciate it. I am really starting to love my bunning. It can still look cute, feminine, and sexy. I am doing a personal no heat/bunning challenge up until February so wish me luck. I am also stretching for 12 weeks (End of Nov) and then another 12 weeks (up to Feb). I hope I have a good as growth as you.!!!!!
 
I still have about 3 inches before I reach an uneven APL.:sad: I probably won't make full APL until summer 2010. :crying3: Congratulations to those that have reached/will reach their goal. The ladies that who don't make it, don't give up!

Keep up the good work everyone!

I've been bunning, and just did a successful twist out, so I think I'll be able to keep myself from cutting. I really want to keep from BC-ing and try to transition for 2 years like Allandra did.
