APL 2012 Challenge

[LuvlyRain3]

Dominicanatural I would definitely try to get at least some of my money back by selling it in the hair product exchange forum. Plenty of ppl on here love miss Jessie's.

Hope everyone had a better blackout than I did. I was SO bored at work today without the site that I actually did work

I know right! I read the news all day. But its sooo much easier when the ladies give me the news in Off Topic

I support the cause but I'm glad we are back online.

I'm gonna lurk in here. I think I could make it to APL by summer...

 

[faithVA]

Uh Oh - We are out of sync again anywayz

I finished my Coffee Castor Oil. I think I cooked it too long but I knew I wasn't going to get up in the middle of the night and cut the crock pot off. So I'm hoping it works out just fine. I combined castor oil, wheat germ oil, jojoba oil and sunflower oil with 2 TBSP of coffee and put it in a crock pot. Tonight I added coconut oil to thin it out and added some EOs. Bought some new cedarwood EO I like the smell of that.

So hopefully between the castor oil, the coffee and the EOs, I will see some nice results by the summer. Still wearing my box braids which I am going to try to wear for another week. My hair is a fuzzy mess, but I did a great job braiding them so they will last.

This site is all outta order. Smh.

 

[AryaStarr258]

I havent done anything to my hair in so long. Just wash and condition. Winter makes me so lazzzzy....

 

[pookaloo83]

I kinda rushed my twists. The front looks kinda busted. I just wear a headband on and bun it. I'll post pics later.

pookaloo83 Super cute! I love that style! It's such a coincidence because both of my girls currently have twists pulled back in a bun. It's so low mani and cute at the same time.

 

[Evolving78]

it's late, but i feel like jumping in the shower and cowashing my hair. i know it is not part of my new reggie to do it, but my hair kind of needs it. i plan on dc'ing and washing this Saturday though.

 

[LuvlyRain3]

I'll be straightening and trimming this weekend.

 

[zoeyy]

hey ladies,

i removed my weave yesterday... so here's my first picture update! yayyyy, my nape is grazin APL, but my other layers have to follow.. for my other layers I'm estimatin june now... but still ladies I'm so happy, one year ago I had maybe 2 inches of hair at max.. And I know, that I will never ever put a relaxer in my hair again!

 

[Evolving78]

zoeyy
congrats lady!

i put my hair in a big braid in the back last night and pinned up the end of it. this might be a go to style that i can leave alone for a few days. i'm at home during the week, so i usually just walk around in a scarf if i haven't done a roller set.

i think i will set my hair using big rollers and do this style again. i still haven't gotten the airdrying thing right, like making sure my ends are crispy.

 

[NikkiQ]

All of the posts are lookin a bit wackadoodle right now. All out of order and everything. I'm trying to keep up with what everyone is posting, but I'm getting a headache

Seriously neglected my hair =/ but school has been kicking my *** so... I guess.

I did do scalp massages and baggied for a few hours the past two days or so.

I have been hiding my length since the year started. I really like hiding it. Will start lurking in the HYH challenge!

so i just realize that yesterday was my 14month nappiversary!! im hiding under tammy right now. Im have had my hair in 10/12 bantu knots under my wig since sunday and they are holding pretty well. Im moisturizing and sealing everyday. applying my oil to my scalp at night, GHE'ing. Im going to cowash tonight and dc on sunday and restart the process again.

Hiya ladies!

I trimmed about .5 inch of my hair on Sunday bc my ends were just... STRUGGLIN' ! They feel way better now. I'm also about 90% sure I'm getting a sew in next month because I need one of those ultimate PTs to help me get my hands outta my hair. Plus this semester is gonna keep me too busy to spend exorbitant amounts of time on it on wash days, so, away it goes
keep investing efforts & positive energy in your hair y'all!

Hey NikkiQ, I just realized I'm not on the challenger list

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^Oooooh I'm SORRY!!! I'll add you now

 

[NikkiQ]

Still rocking my Celies. Cowashed again today. They're getting fuzzy at the roots but nothing major. Might be able to hang for another week

Hello,

Alright so ... I am 70% done with my yarn twists and I plan on finishing over the weekend. I think I'm about 2 inches away from APL so I'm motivated to continue my PS 'til I get there. I used my version of hair trigger growth elixir last time and got a grip of growth over six weeks ... gotta finish these braids to get back on my routine.

Thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely keep this in mind in the future! I only have like a quarter of the product left . Fortunately, I think I have figured out a way to make my hair feel decent. Sealing my hair with a castor oil/evoo mix before applying the Miss Jessie's has made my hair feel a lot better today.

I've been wearing my hair in a Janelle Monet updo, ends super protected for the week...this weekend, I go to a flat twist updo, which I will wear until February (2nd week or so) and then I'll wig it up through February and March...I'm looking at wigs now...drool
