I saw that someone said that their hair is in a resting phase and thus wasn't growing: at any given time, your entire head of hair won't be in a resting phase (telogen phase), 20% absolutely max could be. Your hair may have certain "growing seasons" - many people report that their hair grows faster during certain seasons, like summer. Don't get discouraged, 6 months is still a formidable amount of time to make some notable progress in the health and length of your hair :) (at least this is what I tell myself lol )

thanks for the encouragement!
 
APL by Dec'09 - ORS moisturizer cured my hair's dryness!

So I've been having this issue with super dry hair, and it's been freaking me out since I know it's the primary cause of breakage in naturals. I've deep conditioned with Aubreys, Nacidit Olive Oil which I love, used quite a few different leave-ins and my hair would be fine until it dried...then it would start to feel hard and crunchy. Last Thursday I think, I used Roux's Porosity Control - it alleviated the problem to a degree, as my hair dried it still had this nasty crunch to it. My friend suggested I do a deep treatment with avocado...I'm never doing that again, I still have avocado fibers in my hair after having washed it out like 20 times. But get this - as my hair was drying, I saw ORS Olive Oil Moisturizing Lotion in my PJ cabinet, this huge green bottle I'd bought because someone else had suggested it to me when I was relaxed. I used it then and my relaxed hair HATED- I thought it was too darn thick and oily. BUT my natural hair loves it!!! I put it on my hair figuring I'd use up products and now my hair feels soft and supple like it should. I'm so glad I kept it, this is an absolute staple now.:grin: Yay moisture! lol I think it's so interesting how one chemical process or the lack thereof can so drastically change my hair's response to a product.

:blush: I didn't know you were pregnant, congratulations!! Keep doing whatever you're doing. What product did you use to keep it moist for so many days?

Aww thx flowinlocks! I think my twiat out stayed moist for almost 7 days without remoisturizing because I rinsed & used (seriously) a 1/4 sized amount of conditioner as leave in & sealed with jojoba oil before taking down my twists.

I know lots of ladies here use condish as a leave in...but I never did. It seems to work with my twists bt not my bun:nono:. I'm back to moisturizing daily this week 'cause i'm bunning. Water & jojoba oil until I decide to braid again. :yep:
 
Update. I just relaxed and trimmed today, so I am back in the hunt for APL. I hope to be full APL by the next update.

Results in siggy.
 
Hey ladies! I just became a member a couple of days ago. My goal is APL. Of course I cant get there by December (my hair is about an inch longer than you see on my profile pic). Anyway, I would like to know what you ladies are doing to get to APL. What are the guidelines and your regimen? I wish I was on here when you ladies first started. I am so anxious for my hair to grow. I'm trying to be patient.:perplexed
 
I will have a real update in a couple of weeks. My stretch (SING HALLELUJAH) is over not this weekend but the one after that.

I am pretty sure I made some good progress. My shrinkage is like whoa so after I texlax I might be halfway to APL.

WELOME :newbie:!!!!!

Be sure to read through this entire APL thread. You will find LOADS of tips from the ladies on here who are on the hunt for APL in December. Also, when you find a hair type similar to yours, take a look to their fotki page (either indicated in their signature, or in their LHCF profile) and a lot of times you will find their reggie's there or find products they use that can be useful to you in your journey. Happy Hair Growing!
