I'm feeling doubtful ladies. I'm still a few inches away from APL and it's getting closer to the end of the year. I'm a slow grower, so I'm doubtful that I'll make it there by 12/31. 
I may get 1.5" max in 4 months. I hate being a slow grower…

Don't doubt. Believe and you will achieve your growth goals. I too am a slow grower, but I am always hopeful. A summer growth spurt will get you there by December. Have you tried inversion, Ghe or any growth aids? Sulfur oil is cheap, easy to make and there are no known side effects if mixed properly.I'm feeling doubtful ladies.

No, we can't afford to be demotivated, we still have a full 5 months and so much can happen in that time. Let's keep up the faith and hope to be at APL on the 31st of December. I am putting in a weave on Saturday for 2 months and another one for two more months and will do a TU in December. Formulate a protective styling plan for yourself for the remaining months as well.I'm feeling doubtful ladies. I'm still a few inches away from APL and it's getting closer to the end of the year.

I lightly str8end my daughters hair yesterday and threw it up in a top bun. This is the hair from her sew in I did a month ago. Then I did a lower bun earlier today just playing around with some styles. I eventually used my wand and curled it. I really like this hair. The test is going to be when I wash in in a few weeks to see if the curls return. This hair is very thick though. Only 2 packs I used but I like it and so does my daughter.
Here's the hair when I rcvd it after washing and coloring it.

I've been MIA but a little update: I've been itching to straighten so I attempted today. I didn't get it very straight but my bottom layer is APL I think 
Please excuse the wedgie in the 2nd pic 
ETA: pics from blow out. I'm sure I could've gotten smoother results had I used higher heat at this stage but I was too afraid of damage. Sleeping with a few flexis for bounce

Stopped by a local (YT) salon and got my ends professionally trimmed since they haven't been done since November 
she took off about 1/4-1/2". I picked up some nice oil/serum too: matrix silk wonder Pic of after trim 
Edited to add: I think I'll leave the flat ironing to the professionals. I ended up in a bun all day because of the puffiness

I love the thickness. That's how I like my flat iron hair.Stopped by a local (YT) salon and got my ends professionally trimmed since they haven't been done since November
I remember your fade when I just join the forum. Your progress has been great.

I want to put a red rinse on my hair for the fall. Hopefully the color sticks this time. I tried a couple months ago and the color rinsed right down the drain This time I will sit under the dryer with it

Lately, I started using Hot oil as overnight pre-poo. This is just my second week doing it but it seems that my hair likes it. Previously, I was alternating hot oil with conditioner. Tomorrow, I'm doing an Aphogee 2-step treatment.

Gorgeous. You should try a Bantu knot out on your stretched hair. I bet if will come out beautiful.

I seem to be on track with making APL this Dec. I am transitioning from telaxed so technically that means nothing. My natural hair about neck length and my texlaxed hair is holding on pretty strong as I inch on to my goal. I will be 1 year post on the 21st 
Once I hit APL, I will start doing larger trims. I'm hoping to transition at least another year.
