APL 2012 Challenge

Current hair length: SL
~Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Natural
~APL goal month: Dec- I have layers plus I got some trimming to do.:perplexed
~Current Reggie and styling choices: Pre-poo with oil before every shampoo. Shampoo- 1/week. DC- 1/week (moisture or protein). Cowash 1-2/week (maybe). Moisturize and seal daily. Trim as needed. Styling- puffs, buns, and occassionally straight.
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?: Hope to learn new cute PS as I am style challenged so I won't feel the need to straighten so often.
~Post a beginning picture: beginning pic is in my signature.

I wonder if she was mixing the MN with anything. I'd be scared to apply it daily on its own.

I think mn would help, but I think I am doing too much already between the scalp massages, vitamins, shakes and EXERCISING (for some Hair at that). I can't do no more (crying), I ain't gonna do no more.
 
I was reading through the MN threads and I was convinced that I should hop on the bandwagon too. I bought some MN at the exchange and I went to the 100 yen store and bought some small containers to mix the stuff in with some oil.

I haven't experienced much breakage at all since the Hair Mayo treatment. Turns out my hair was in need of protein; had I known this sooner I would've reached APL a long time ago. Oh well, live and learn I guess :ohwell:
My hair feels more coarse and a definitely stronger, so I plan on doing the treatments every 2-3 weeks.

AyannaDivine, I am glad you found something that worked for you but beware of using a strong protein like Hair Mayo every 2 weeks. I don't know if you are natural but even for a relaxed head that generally needs more protein, I would not use Hair Mayo every 2 weeks.

It is easier to correct moisture overload than protein overload. Aphogee 2 min is gentler and might be more appropriate.
 
Ok ladies I need some help. How do I get a braidout to last more than a day without re-braiding at night? I loosed bun mine overnight and it just looked stringy this morning. I think manipulation every night will have affect my rentention but I want to change my style from a granny bun. :drunk:
 
Okay okay okay Guys!! Before I went to bed last night I did a quick length check for the MN challenge AND LOOK! I am at APL I think!!!

Congratulations if you are. And if not then congratulations on being real close.

I couldn't tell if you are or not with the pic. So going to leave it to the rest of the crew.
 
Manii I can't tell. But you're real close to me!

Gonna wash my hair in these twists then let them airdry and retwist. I think I'll wash tonight, let it airdry, then retwist tomorrow.

Welcome @kandigyrl! with your pull test in the back it looks like you are just past the APL line! Congratulations!

I have 2 different lengths just past chin length in the front...and....we'll have to see how far my hair has come in the back??? I am hoping to have APL length all the way around by December 31. Since my last trim in January I was surprised to see my front at collar bone length just the other day *crossing my fingers* all this hair is APL this year:nervous2:

Lurkee have you tried pin curling the ends and putting a silk scarf on at night?

When you wake up take it all down and shake it out :rocker:
 
Ive been away 2 whole days:(. My dog gave birth to 10 pretty puppies:)
yesterday I exchanged some stuff. My organix coconut and the ojon I got more nubian heritage products:) I really like their stuff!
 
Didn't get to grab my MN on my lunch break today. Went shopping and to lunch with my bestie instead. I'll stop on the way home and try to figure out a good mixture with the products that I have here since everything else is gone. Good way to use up what I have so I don't have to haul all that mess to PR...except my beloved Curl Junkie products! :love2:
 
i washed my hair and left the conditioner in it again! i just don't feel like it. i just couldn't drag myself back in rinse it out. so i rinsed it out today, but i wanna try this Silk Elements Moisturizing treatment out on my relaxed hair. i liked it when i was natural. i also bought Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Mist. i like the Hawaiian Silky 14n1, but since it is getting warmer, i wanted to try something more light. i will do something today to my hair. i wanna get out of the house and do something with adults. i'm sick of hanging out with kids! :lol:
 
Oooh, I just looked at some NappyNFree videos and she's inspiring me to try yarn twists as my new protective style. :3
