I agree with you. I got a serious cut that put me back to APL( barely...:perplexed), but my ends DO look and feel a lot better. I have this upside-down V shape thats driving me nuts, but I will just continue to trim as it grows, and hopefully it will go away.

So, here's my reveal. A lot shorter, and this shot is still wet with Giovanni Direct LeaveIN, and Dabur Vatika Coconut oil. Nothing else, not dried or straightened out yet, either. Two flat twists on each side, getting ready to air dry.

If there's a BSL Challenge for 2013, please point me to the link!! Thanks.

baddison, there is a BSL challenge but I am not actively participating. You, me, sunnieb and other relaxed ladies cheering each other on is enough for me. Sunnie may have the link. Baddison, real talk, my hair was doing something similar but the thinner area kept breaking and I ended up with an ugly hemline, angled from right (short/thin) to left (longer/thick). If I could do it all over, I would have chopped sooner and maybe saved some of my length before my hemline started to erode so badly. Are you getting breakage in the thinner area? If no, then you should be good.

@divachyk
Not getting breakage anymore, but I had the same exact situation. I keep holding on, thinking the hair would autocorrect itself. Sadly, autocorrect is for keyboards only!!:perplexed That's what led to my massive 2-inch cut back to APL. I'm pretty sure I was BSL before I cut...but the ends are now the healthiest they've been. Beliveve it or not, the V looks a lot better then my previous shots. Apparently it is growning but just at a slower pace. I will definitely be evening it all out as the growth progresses! Thanks for being candid!!!
 
baddison you're welcome. I just am trying to ensure no one makes the same mistake I did. I love your example re: auto correct. I held on thinking the same but unfortunately it didn't happen. Lesson learned.

Yes, ladies autocorrect is an awesome example. The thing is, I'm not afraid to cut my hair. I was cutting, but I wasn't paying attention to how I was cutting. After about a year, my lazy trimming habit caught up to me. Cutting back to APL had to be done and I'm reaping the benefits already! I have a small section that is BSL! Not claiming BSL, until my hemline gets there though! :grin:

I will always check my hemline before and after I trim to make sure everything is on track. I cut so much last month that I won't have to cut again til December.

Not sure if there's a BSL 2013 challenge. I'll just stick with ya'll! :yep:
 
sunnieb -- I'm don't have any BSL layers yet. I'm a true APL.

Ladies, dh snapped a photo in direct sunlight so this one is a little better than the one from yesterday. My ringlet curls from yesterday are no more since it was hot as heck today and I actually wore my hair out for once (mark it down, doesn't happen often). :blush:

I'm claiming the 6inch mark but if I tug, I'm at 7. I'll be conservative. My last TU (9 weeks ago), I was at the 5inch mark. I'm pleased. :yep:

@divachyk - Great pics!

The thing I'm noticing is that on me, APL is so close to BSL. I remember that it took me forever to get to APL from SL! Now, getting to BSL is easy now that I'm working with past APL hair.

I said all that to say.....

You look like you're a kiss away from BSL to me lady. Yes, you're full APL, but BSL is just riiiiight there! :yep:

It took me forever to get from SL to BSL...... :blush:
I can't retain my growth.... my ends:nono: stay so thin. I constantly trim or dust every month.


stretching my relaxer has been slowly helping

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!
 
I have some pics in my thread but I will post here too. I relaxed last week. I haven't flatironed yet, but I think I will for this weekend and then I will be back.

This my hair airdried. After it was dried I spritzs with lacio lacio/water and put on some moisturizer. I roll my bangs on a flexi rod and my ponytail on another.

Best relaxer ever! IMG_20120829_140533.jpg
