I've been off coffee for about a week, trying to keep this up! Upping my water in take and drinking more green smoothies, APL will be mine this year!!

Yeah, but it depends on the type of shoot/promo. If it's something kinda....sexy
I usually do a straight sew in and have the stylist curl it for me. That way you can pose without worrying about a wig coming off

Checking in. Still in Braids. I think I will do an official Length Check and trim at the end of the month. My Regi is so easy it's on auto pilot LOL
I am hoping to be APL in the back by March 1.

Haha. Your wig coming off would not be sexy. I can imagine that now. Lol

2 more weeks from today!!!! and I get to post what my hair/scalp looks like 30 days after my first set of pictures - yay!
A big thing I notice since "truly" caring for my hair and scalp (deep conditioning, moisturizing ends, natural air dry, roller sets) is that it feels stronger and thicker from the root. It's like that feeling when you hold your hair to put it in a ponytail and the part your holding feels like a whole lot more than the before - that's when you know your hair is healthier!!!
Happy Valentine's Day Ladies!

Hey guys. I have an update. My nape is at Apl and I'm hype. I won't claim it until most of my hair reaches. But I can't believe that I've come this far. When I first joined all I wanted was for at least one strand to be apl. Lol. I have pics. The 6 on my bootleg shirt is apl. HHJ

I've been wearing a braid out all week. It was actually a braid & curl so I wouldn't have jacked, puffy ends, but the end result was the same and my hair puffed up anyway. Sleeping in those hard rollers was not worth it lol. I'm getting some curlformers to try out Friday for my birthday

Few more weeks til our first official check in!!!
Am I the only one nervous as all outdoors??
I'm not nervous as much as I am discouraged. I swear I don't see any difference in my hair since early fall of last year
I just want the 31st to come to get it over with. I'm not straightening though, its just going to be a pull test of my hair. Maybe I throw some curlformers in it.
I'm over this hair. I just am

^^^I'm in the same boat as you. I don't see not a millimeter of a difference in growth since the beginning of the year. It just makes it seem like making APL by anytime before December really hard for me, but I WILL be there by December. Believe that!
I'll be doing a pull test too. No heat for me until next month. I wonder if I can leave these Celies in for another week or so. This Saturday makes 3 weeks and they're still hanging in there.

I'm going to do heat for our June progress check.
The only little bit of sanity is coming from having my twist up in a banana clip. Every time I think about pulling a twist to length check I can't because its clipped up. I'm too lazy to take out the bobby pins, take out the banana clip, have my hair all wild, pull down the twist to the same point its been at for 50-11 years, then put it all back up
Laziness is my friend
