Re: APL 2012 Challenge
Going to get my hair braided sometime this week.
Haven't really updated much b/c I'm still focusing on my seborrheic dermatitis. I still shampoo twice a week with Nizoral and inbetween I use ayurvedic treatments such as brahmi and shikakai. I also prepoo with oil mix and added essential oils. I'm changing my diet as well, starting a detox to fight this.
I hope all you ladies are doing well on your journey to APL.

Re: APL 2012 Challenge
@ livinthevida...thank you...yes dr miracles Gro oil has a smell but I think it's light so it doesn't bother me, the MN doesn't have a smell at all...and I had to cut my hair because I looked awful, post partum shedding and a lot of stress had it coming out in clumps =(
@ Lurkee I know the feeling, I wanted to dye my hair for like 4 months, when I finally did in feb only my roots came out blonde! Epic fail lol
@ growbaby your APL
MJ over here...can't wait until our length check...hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised...still using my MN and bunning =)

Re: APL 2012 Challenge
Alright I didn't straighten my hair yet. Going to get a weave with leave out on Saturday evening but here's an update.
478310_10151753972865551_748120550_24344353_1044519510_o (1).jpg
I never kept up to any of the challenges, or in fact i never even started them all sadly...but uh i protective styled if that counts. Uhh my hair got thicker and grew but it doesn't seem that drastic from my start up picture. However it is the same length it was straightened in that pic in cornrowed/non-straighten format and i'm sure if i straightened it it would be about maybe 1" longer.

Deep conditioning after some recent hair abuse. Hope this yogurt DC treatment followed by a little moisture will help remedy the abuse.

Re: APL 2012 Challenge
Good Morning Ladies!
Beginning this week up until the new fiscal year (July 1st here!) my department and I will be very busy (inventory, training, end of year spending = YAY! etc) which means I will be here less
BUT I will still be here  I'll continue to check in mornings and weekends with great progress pics and definitely for our June 30th length check! After July 1 I'll return to my normal posting
 APL TO BSL TO WL here we COME

@ Mjon912 I know exactly what that's like *in bold*  in college (more than 10 years ago!) a friend used a strong relaxer on my hair  that evening during a bath my hair came out in clumps. I even saved what was left to show her what had happened  my only saving grace was ApHogee Protein...(ummm something something). My first time EVER loosing my hair and LAST TIME using a relaxer. Today = 0 regret

Re: APL 2012 Challenge
Congrats @ growbaby!
Hey ladies...just checking in. Not much changed over here, still in my braids. Ordered some bulk hair for crochet braids next month. In fact if it goes well I may do a personal 6month crochet braid challenge.
