I just got my relaxer yesterday and I believe that I'm APL already, but I wont claim it until I pass it at my next relaxer in August. In Dec I think I should be full APL at the least but I'm hoping for BSB.
All I was hoping for was full APL, but it looks like I'm going to end up at BSL. Weaves have helped keep me out of my hair, and in the end RETAIN LENGTH! I have had crochet braids in for 3 weeks, but took them out yesterday. They began to bore me. I am going to spend the next 13 days doing S & D's and taking care of my hair until I get a new sew in next Saturday
This thread really made me set a realistic goal for the rest of the year. Even if I only get 2 more inches this year, I will only need 2 more to hit my long term goal. thats a really positive way to look at it,
I hope to be FULL shoulder length by December 2010!
Right now I am between neck & shoulder length ... after 4 years natural and several setbacks (4 sets of Locs & a recent 2 week long Wash n Go fiasco) I just recently started to finalize my regimen .. I used to hop from bandwagon to bandwagon & product to product ... I am in the process of narrowing down my products ... And I've recently discovered that my hair thrives from stretched styles ONLY, low manipulation and frequent moisturizing … I plan to do a much needed trim soon to get rid of the many single strand knots that I got when I did the Wash n Gos so if I reach my goal by December I'll be so happy and if I exceed that goal I'll be ecstatic!!
If I do not have any major setbacks, maybe APL or close enough to it.
That would be such a wonderful sight to see
I have been natural off an on for 5 years now, but have unfortuantely had too many setbacks and now I am not letting just anything and anybody touch my hair.
I will be full BSL. I would have been there by now, I had a set back due to being lazy and not thinking. I am in the hide your hair challenge until Dec, anyway I took my weave and didn't get all the tangles and excess hair out before washing. My hair was in one big knot. WHAT A DISASTER. I was almost crying but after long hours I was able to get it all untangle. I lost alot of hair and had to cut about 4" off. I had retained alot of length, I hate this happened because I know better.
Currently a bit below SL and hmmmm think I should be somewhere between APL and BSB....errmm hope springs eternal Keeping in the ps challenge and the MT challenges should help tons.
Im shooting for BSL. My bangs are a different story, I am hoping to have them touching my top lip ( they broke off due to someone bleaching and then toning with 30 developer so now they are to my eyebrows, they were to my chin ) The rest of my hair is healthy and APL. I am testing my will power and trying to keep my hair in protective styles until my birthday, which so happens to be in December.... Ive had 2 weaves in since January, only taking it out for about a week or two at a time. This weave I have in now has been in since March 10th and Im trying to stretch it out until the 20th of this month, we'll see....
well I dont know anymore, I have kinda reached hip length before dec, and since I don't have much hips it doesnt look like it really. anyway I think my next goal now is learning how to roller set :/ I really don't know. I always like to continue changing and trying new things with my hair and when I reach my goals I form new ones so i can keep moving forward.
