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

Still hopeful that I will be make APL by December 31st (well at least grazing it). I'm still recovering from my henna fiasco which resulted in a 2-inch trim so I may not make it. My final hair updates will be the second week of December.

Congrats to those who've already reached their goal and good luck to those that are still trying.

Oh wow!! lol I started a thread talking about APL by Dec'10...I see this is why folks kept asking if it was the official one.

I would love to but I cant :sad:. My hubby just left a week ago for his deployment and I dont have as much free time on my hands with my twins. He wont be back until May sometime. If I cant do it whole heartidly (sp?) then I would rather not do it at all. You ladies deserve more than something half azzed.
BUT I will join the next one and try to help the leader in any way that I can if she needs it. Just let me know.

Blessings,
SouthernStunner

Well today im 12 weeks post. Im looking at my head and realized my hair does not look as bad(cause it still look a hotmes) as the last time I stretch 12 weeks. Like mention before, stretching takes practice.

I realize I have been moisturizing more than cowashing.

2 more weeks to go.

I will be looking a hot mess for Thanksgiving, I will be in a bun. Im already putting it out there. I guess I can be creative and put the bun on the side with some bangs.

Never know, you hair might sneak up on you and be APL. That will be a great Christmas gift, huh. :blush:
 
So before joining this thread I wouldn't care about someone else's progress but now I'm like so anxious to see everyone's year end update. Especially you ThePrincess. Hurry up and relax that hair girl! Lol.​
 
After one year I gave myself a much need trim. I didn't lose too much length. I am still hopeful that I will make it to APL by the deadline.
 
I think I'm going to make it...I need to get someone to help me take some length shots next month. I haven't done a length check in a few months.
 
Wow, everyone has made some fantastic progress. I hope that I can make it as well. Can't wait until the big reveal in December!
 
Aww, I'm not gonna make it. I cut the back layer of my hair. I will be checking for end of the year progress shots though!

Congrats to everyone who has made it already!
 
Hey All.

I just relaxed my hair yesterday with Phyto I (my hair just laughed at this relaxer. Will use Phyto II from now on!)

I just uploaded a picture to my siggy that was taken 2 hours post. How far am I from APL?

I will be relaxing one more time in December.

GREAT progress Taz!!!
 
Question.. for you ladies in the challenge..have you ever been APL before and now growing to it back, or is the longest your hair has been in your life?? I have dreams of being APL, but I never in my life have been beyond SL.

First time ever having hair this long...I am an inch away from APL
 
^^ This is the longest my hair has ever been in my life! The longest that I have ever gotten before was barely shoulder length.

This the longest ever. In the past I was happy just to cover my ears and forehead and celebrating if the any part of the back reached the shoulder/back area.

Regardless, you have done an EXCELLENT job with your hair! It actually looks like it is grazing APL from your photo.

I agree taz. Your hair look great. It is thick and healthy looking. And you are sooo close to apl. You really appear to have reached your goal. I can't wait to see your year end pics.:grin:

Taz your hair is beautiful and lush as usual. You look suuuuper close I'm confident you'll make it.:yep:
 
Taz, the 4 or 5 mark on your shirt looks APL to me. I can't see the marks from the angle of the pic but you look like you're already there or only need an inch.

I think that I will do a progression pic from 2002 to December for my reveal. My hair was thin, breaking and just tore up! I would not grow beyond shoulder length.:nono:

LHCF has been a life saver for my hair!
