I've been on my HHJ for 5 years, and this is my first successful stretch past 10 weeks!!!!! I relaxed after 19 weeks. A few weeks before I relaxed, I trimmed off an inch all around. As of now I'm slightly below apl. However, I'll get another 1-2 inches taken off in a week or so to give me the blunt ends I like. I feel so accomplished, I finally figured out how to stretch without hating my hair when it was time to relax!!!!!! 
I'll post pics after this app stops crashing

Looking good! I'm in the same boat, I've been dusting and trimming away the bad ends and so far it's getting better.

Little late but these are my results from my last touch up a few days ago. I still have texture left, so I was happy about that. The only thing I wanna work on now is to grow my layers out. My layers make my hair look sooooo much thinner than it is and that's no bueno. Overall I was happy with my results, though

I retouched on Saturday at 21 weeks post...again at a salon like the last one. Took my own Motions Pink Oil Regular Lye relaxer.
Was a bit upset as the stylist insisted on trimming and it felt like I lost all my length from the past five months. I was almost arguing with her as I hadn't intended to trim as I had done a major trim at the last retouch..she said the length was misleading and the ends were damaged and dead. She also convinced me to do a 'power treatment' to stop the relaxer continuing to work after I went home...
So now I'm back to apl/just below apl at the longest layers at the back and shoulder and collar bone at the front.
The stylist tried to switch up my parting to the right side but my DD and SO hated it plus it didn't feel right to me so now I've done my usual left parting and I trimmed my own right side bang at home just how I like it. It was also flat ironed to curl under on the day but I've straightened it out now.
My hair feels nice but I'm wondering if I'll ever reach bsl. I was so close in 2013.. But trimmed several times in 2014. I nwed to lay off the heat I guess.
Anyway, sorry about the essay, here are pics:
I have to make tough decisions about how to keep my ends healthy unless I want to be stuck at this length forever!
