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

I checked and my ends look raggedy now. Not sure what went wrong but I need a trim. I'm debating whether or not to do it now or wait until this challenge is over.

almost.....almost.....just barrrrrrrely scraping.....:wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:

can I just get there already?!
 
Thanks girls! I think I have a small case of hairorexia. Plus, in those pics, my boyfriend tugged on my hair to get every bit of length out of it. I dont wanna have to do that. I guess I just want full, undeniable APL (where the hair hangs at APL with no help). I just gotta be patient :rolleyes:

Princess, I'm tryin to get like you! :yep:
 
Congrats futurescbride on your pregnacy...I wish you all the best!:babyb:

Congrats to Princes and Barbie on making APL. :gorgeous:

My AngleEyez I'm loving the your hair color and I happy about your decision to transition.:Copy of 2cool:

I don't think I will post an update pic unless I obtain a major growth spurt since my hair grows slow. Therfore, I plan to post my next updat pic at the end of the December. I have 1 inch to go utnil I graze APL. I can't wait to see what next year brings...

I couldn't function well, when my ends were ragedy, and when I got them cut off, it was alot better. If they don't bother you, leave them alone, if they do, then cut them. So its no real answer just a personal peference.
 
Checking in to see how you all were doing. I'm amazed and proud you ladies have reached or are very close to APL.:woohoo:

I've made progress, but won't reach full APL until probably April/May.

I had a huge setback in May.

Many of you already seen these photos in my Road to Recovery Thread.

wow look at that progress congrats!! ive seen u come along the whole way :grin:
 
I am hoping to reach my goal or at least be very close. I am planning on switching my regi up till the end of the year. So far, looks like I have gained about 2 to 2.5 inches.
I am still washing twice a week, but every Wednesday I plan on doing a henna treatment, light Protein DC and Moisturize DC. On Sunday's I will wash, tea rinse, light Protein DC and Moisturize DC.
I will continue to use mega tek 3 to 4 times a week and moisturize every day sealing my ends. I guess I will do a back shot after my December touch up.
My style will be a continual bun.
I am proud of all of us ladies. Keep up the good work.

If you are doing henna, you could probably skip the protein DC same day. Just do a deep moisturizing conditioning afterwards. And up your daily moisturizing while using MT (has protein in it). I'd hate to see you have a set back due to protein overload. If you are one of those lucky folks whose hair love protein, then do yo thang! Best of luck on reaching your goal!!!:yep:

Thanks,
I think I am a protein lover. I have been doing this regi so far for a three weeks and things seem to be going well. I do agree the moisture need to be up'ed to maybe everyday.
First sign of protein overload, I wll drop the protein.
Thanks for the great concern. I appreciate it.

I just took my weave down and I'm about to flatiron and take a pic..I'm kinda sad because I cut some of my hair on accident but at least it was in the middle lol.. wish me luck!
 
Although I joined the challenge, I became just a lurker. For one, I realized it really was an unrealistic goal for that short time (for me). But I still enjoy the progress I see.

If my "setback" isn't that bad as I think (didn't asses as it's been in strict braid and wig regi), then I should be around APL anywhere from JUL-SEP 2010.

Anyways, good job ladies who has been making progress and posting pics. Keep up the good work!! :clap:
