Re: APL 2014 Challenge
- Current hair length About and inch past collarbone
- Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning NATURAL
- Goal Month Whatever I can get!
- Current Reggie and styling choices Lots of Ayurvedic herbs/oils/techniques, minimal manipulation
- What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL? Keeping up a good diet, yoga, exercise and lots of water.
Re: APL 2014 Challenge
I'm in. I may not make it but at least this will keep me serious about my regimen.
Current hair length: About NL
Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning: Natural
Goal Month: Might not happen but I'll say Dec. 2014
Current Reggie and styling choices: Shampoo 1x a week, DC 2x a week, Moisturize as needed, Protein treatment last week of every month
What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?: I'm planning on adding more fruits, veggies and water. And I have to try to get these darn vitamins in my body some way! I'm not sure if I'll add scalp massages because I'm lazy.
Post a beginning picture: I'll post a pic next DC day (Thursday)

I just cowashed my hair with Wen fig and then applied HH SCM shingle method. Applied KeraVada green tea oil on top and then applied Aunt Jackie curl la la over that. Letting it air dry.

Re: APL 2014 Challenge
1. Current hair length SL
2. Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning Natural
3. Goal Month I’m going to give myself more time. Hoping to reach APL by April 2014.
4. Current Reggie and styling choices
Once a week:
Detangle and braid
Wash: Terressentals LCL; Mud Puddle Hair Wash
Condition: Giovanni 50:50
Daily:
Water only spritz or water/Giovanni Direct Leave-In with water spritz
Moisturize with homemade cream
Emu oil for edges
Style:
Go-to protective style is mini twists.
5. What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL? Have to do more to protect my ends. Winter is coming so I need to find a way to keep my hair extra moisturized.

Maybe her longest layer in back is BSL and she wants the rest to catch up to full APL.

Thanks!!!!
I try to drink at least 60oz of water a day, keep my stress levels to a minimum, take my vitamins and exfoliate at least 1x a week.
I'll share more if you want specifics. I do not really have a specific "body" skin regimen.. but I do have one for my face.

That's a good possibility. I was just wondering why she'd want to cut off the BSL hair to blunt APL.

*sigh*
Doesn't look like I'll be making it for 2013 but this year will be it! I hope. Current hair length: CBL
Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning: Natural
Goal Month: April
Current Reggie and styling choices: Cowash daily, shampoo once per week, bun.
What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?: I need to shampoo less and straighten less. I want to cut down straightening to 3 times a year, but since I'm single I tend to like to straighten it each time I go out. Can't seem to get into wigs. I also plan on cutting down on alchohol intake and quitting smoking for my overall health. Post a beginning picture (coming soon!) This was me last challenge: eta back shot for better measure
And here I am now.
The biggest thing I wanna work on is my uneven layers

Re: APL 2014 Challenge
Thank you! Shoot, after seeing some ladies actually go from bald to SL in less time I started thinking maybe I'm just a slow grower. I believe I can reach my goal though by next summer.

Re: APL 2014 Challenge
Definitely count me in!!
Current hair length: crown = around EL; sides = chin length; back = shoulder length (my hair refuses to coordinate with itself!)
Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning: natural (November 19 will make 2 years!!)
Goal Month: trying for December.
Current Reggie and styling choices:reggie: wash with shampoo (Suave) about once per month; co-wash (Suave) at least once per week; dc with coconut oil (as needed); LOC method (water+glycerin; grapeseed or olive oil; cantu leave in conditioner)
styles: finger coils; twists; twist outs; anything else I see on youtube that I can successfully attempt
What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL? I plan to listen to my hair. That's one of the most important things I've learned over the past 2 years. If my hair doesn't like it I just don't do it! I may do some protective styles, not sure yet. I definitely plan to incoroporate lots of moisture. Also I am trying to better my eating habits (more fruits, veggies, and water; less processed foods)
Post a beginning picture picture to come later today

4. Starting a new reggie come 2014 which will include
6. Picture to come

Thanks for the tag, but I'm pretty sure, I'm past APL.
