Maybe those random little hairs are simply new/thick hair? I had SO MANY short hairs sprouting straight up from my scalp, only 0.5" long, I was like "these hairs weren't short like this before" but they are now about 3" long (still stick up a little too) but now I realise as my hair is improving it is new, thick hair. They say thickness comes before length. JMO

Do those strands feel thicker than the rest claud-uk? That sounds like a logical explanation

So who in here is shooting for a September APL date? I need some progress partners to keep me motivated. I am at least 2" away. Might even be 3" :sad: but I don't want to admit that.

Anyone want to be my motivation partner in this challenge? Anyone shooting for September, October?

Thanks faithVA! I'm hoping I can make it by the June 30th length check. But I know you will find some progress partners; that's a good idea.

Just finished straightening and trimming my hair. I cut off at least and inch in some places. I was getting close to APL, but I definitely needed to get rid of a bunch of SSKs and splits. I also realized again just how hot it is when all of my hair is down around my shoulders. I always forget just how dense all of these fine strands are. I'm not all that upset that it shrinks so much when I think how much cooler I feel when it's off of my shoulders.

Since moving out my apartment moving up north (newyork). My hair has not been on the to do list. Last saturday, I did the texture softener, it's really good. Just make sure you dont smooth it in or you will lose your texture. I washed my hair today with keracare detangling shampoo. I'm sitting with "Its a 10"moisture mask in my hair now, as a deep conditioner.

Washing my hair since my texture softener, My hair is very soft and manageable. I will use it again

When I took out my sew in a few weeks ago I accidentally cut off some of my hair in the front. I didn't think it would be that noticeable until I got my hair straightened the other day at the hair dresser so if I do get another sew in I'm just gonna have my hairdresser take it out next time.

We can be grow out buddies since I'm aiming for APL in September too. I just did a impromptu length check in the back and I'm barely grazing APL. So I think by the end of the summer I should be there all though I will wait for full APL before claiming it.
