too excited. yes, it'll be my longest length yet.

2. Are you expecting to reach
APL in March?

march was actually my "goal" for this...so hoooopefully!

3. Are you fighting any major hair
battles right now (For example Breakage or Shedding)?

not really currently. i've been leaving my hair alone. it's been in twists for 10 days so far.

4. Are you thinking about getting
a trim and concerned that it will
prevent you from hitting your first goal?

no trims for a while.

5. Is your hair in it's best condition ever?
If so, what product, technique and/or vit
do you attribute this to?

yes, definitely in the best condition it's been it. i guess it's a mixture of being natural, doing proper deep conditions, keeping up with moisture, adding protein, lessening heat (i was actually completely heat free for over 2 years...recently i've used a few times)


i'm IN.
my picture will be a "pull down" length check
because i'm going back to "no heat" until the end of the year
and i think just to give more growth time
i'll post my picture on march 30
(hey, it's before the last day lol)

Well Let's Support each other in the last few months!


1. So tell us how excited you
are (Will this be your longest lentgh)? APL will be my longest length ever. I've always had barely shoulder lenght so to see it become fuller and longer has been great. I wear weaves, but once i reach APL everyones gonna see it. I'm have pics posted everywhere.

2. Are you expecting to reach
APL in March? March would be great, but i'm hoping for May cause it would be a great b-day gift.

3. Are you fighting any major hair
battles right now (For example Breakage or Shedding)? Mostly shedding cause its always in a weave.

4. Are you thinking about getting
a trim and concerned that it will
prevent you from hitting your first goal? Most definately. But luckly my APL is only like an inch or 2 from the top of bra strap.

5. Is your hair in it's best condition ever?
If so, what product, technique and/or vit
do you attribute this to? Best condition ever, yes....best it could be no. I'm still working on my technique and finding the best products, but i think my hair loves keracare and it think its great for newbies cause for the ost part its easy to find and works well on everybodys hair.

My hair has never even gotten past shoulder length !

2. Are you expecting to reach
APL in March?

I'm praying hard !

3. Are you fighting any major hair
battles right now (For example Breakage or Shedding)?

My ends are so raggedy. I long to cut them but I keep hoping that my hair just grows out uneven and eventually my hair will all catch up. That's my story, anyways !

4. Are you thinking about getting
a trim and concerned that it will
prevent you from hitting your first goal?

No trim for me. I ant to get there first.

5. Is your hair in it's best condition ever?
If so, what product, technique and/or vit

Aside from the ends I think it's in pretty good condition. I don't know about ever. I never really paid so much attention to my hair before joining LHCF.

Six Quetions

1. So tell us how excited you

Not that excited yet. This will not have been my longest length. But it is my first LHCF challenge, so that's cool.

2. Are you expecting to reach
APL in March?
Yep

3. Are you fighting any major hair
battles right now (For example Breakage or Shedding)?
Nope

4. Are you thinking about getting
a trim and concerned that it will

Nope

5. Is your hair in it's best condition ever?
If so, what product, technique and/or vit
do you attribute this to?
I don't know, to the first question. It's okay, though. I didn't examine my hair much before now I don't know if it was in good condition before. I can at least say that I have no split ends. I saw 1 cm of split on 1 end about 3 weeks ago, and that's all I've seen since I've started paying attention several months ago.

6. If you can agree to this your answer
should be yes for number 6!
yes, I will post a reveal pic in March (beg or end?)
