I am doing well , just been busy with midterm week!! My hair is growing well and I hope yours and everyone else is doing well. I will post an update pic maybe in april after my six month stretch but I am thinking of stretching a year instead of six months this time. so maybe october. I may just get a blowout for my update in april though.

Well ladies...idk when my APL milestone will be made b/c I have decided to chop on April 23rd, my one year post mark. Dealing with 2 textures and planning a wedding just isn't working well for me. I already came to terms with the fact that no matter if I chopped or not, my hair will not be long enough to do what I want for the wedding. I've already found the perfect wig to wear and I'm happy with the decision. Let the countdown to begin!

Well ladies I washed, dc'ed, did a mild protein treatment and air dried and rebraided my hair! I will keep them in for a month this time and will stretch my relaxer for a year, I figure why not I have stretched for six months before, I wanna give myself a challenge and who knows I may decide to go natural in the process because I am loving my texture, but I haven't completely decided on the natural thing yet! but I am going to stretch for the year and I am prepared and excited for the reveal and the journey! I make six months April 10th, and will be a year post October 10, but I will do a protein treatment and will relax October 24th and I would be one year and two weeks post! Sorry for the rant, but I have been thinking non-stop about stretching for a year, and it's final. I hope you all are well.

Where is everyone at? It's a new year so let's remain focused. Any way , I tried to keep my braids in for four weeks but could not make it due to the fact I had so much new growth after two weeks it looked like I had them in two months. So I took them down Friday and washed and dc'ed my hair and dried and rebraided my hair and reapplied my homemade super gro mix. I hope everyone is well.

Oh I'm here...as a newly natural lady!! I BC'd on Friday and have been enjoying it ever since. APL might be a super stretch for me to achieve this year, but I'm gonna try my hardest
Wow! I know you were debating a BC. Congrats and continue to enjoy!

Thanks @Ross2010. I sure hope so. Especially after seeing your amazing growth after your cut. If I can get at least HALF of that for the rest of this year, I'll be happy.

divastyle2010 I wish I could braid my hair and strech that far. How much shedding do you get after braiding? I would be able to stretch a little further. Im not experiencing any breakage but I have a delicate hairline which does not favour wigs and braids make my hair dry and brittle so I just have to bun and use french braids. By the way I will be using hairinfinity come April. I will purchase them today coz i have a discount code
, but I have to wait for six weeks to get them. I think you have had positive results while using them.

Thks @NikkiQ YOU WILL!!!!!
mark my words when QJJamiah told be i did not believe it but i trusted her. Do you have the Tangle Teezer? You have one big advantage coz you can braid your hair hence low manipulation. Good luck cant wait to see your progress in end of June. HHJ

I'm still here. I'm about an inch away from APL and would like to get there by the end of March ( I'm in the inch per month challenge). I'm doing almost nightly messages with Bee Mine growth serum, taking my HS & N vitamins, excercising everyday & I've added Amazing Grass Superfoods to my protein shakes. To retain, I DC twice a week with protein then moisture and cowash the other days and bun.

I'm still here. Just been super busy with school. I'm not sure how long my hair is now. I'm in the HYH challenge. My hair is still under my wigs/half wigs. I'm hoping by the time I do a length check I have a pleasant surprise of APL. If my hair is growing at the rate I think it is, I SHOULD be APL in 2-3 months.

Yeah I have a TT. I got it about a month or so ago. My former coworker is natural and is willing to show me how to braid my new little afro this week lol. I'm gonna try to learn and rebraid once a week or so and still wear my wigs. Gonna do this until summer time and see what kind of growth I get. Hopefully it'll work out well. I'm already NL in the back so SL is within reach in a few months.

Well you could if you remember moisture , moisture, moisture, and try to find a balance with protein also, I have not had really any shedding just a few hairs after I detangle,( I do coffee rinses weekly) I also start my stretching with braiding weekly and doing my wash routine , then once I get to five months I normally leave my braids in for two weeks at a time and do my wash routine. I love hairfinity and I am enjoying the growth although I am debating on going natural, that is why I am stretching for a year to check out my texture and make my final decision, if I decide to go natural once I hit my year mark I will transition till oct 2012 and that will make it two years before I decide to cut off my relaxed ends. My bestfriend transitioned for 3 years and got her trim after making a 3 year mark but I want to do it sooner if I feel that natural is for me. Sorry for the long post and for just now getting back to you, I have been busy with finals week.

So I'm HOPING that I will be APL by the end of this year, but it's a far stretch. I'm taking it one day at a time. I'm still tweaking my reggie and playing around with other low manipulation hairstyles. I did a nice protein treatment and LONG DC Saturday night followed by two strand twists. Currently NL and chugging along lol
