Thank you!!! Yes the longest my hair was before was collarbone length. I’m gonna buy me a Sonic coconut milkshake to celebrate.
I receive everything you said and claim it as done! BSL by December 2019 y’all! I’ve said it before and I’m never gonna stop saying it: if you’ve been on this hair journey for years and don’t have long hair yet don’t give up. Something in your regimen needs to be fixed. That’s all. Hang in there.
Congrats!!!! This is so exciting. Also inspiring. I am hoping to break APL this year which would be crazzzzzy because I literally don’t think my hair has been that long since I was like 5 years old
I am inspired and determined to have long but most importantly strong thick healthy hair!!

Looks like an episode of We Bear Bears. Not an anime but a show on Cartoon Network. I love it.

How your "Before" photo looks to you,
now that you've been using Shea butter for an extended period of time.
where’s the lie though?

Here’s my friend’s sweet daughter holding her whipped shea butter gift! She said she loves it and has been using on her skin and her hair. She’s teaching swimming for the summer, so her skin and hair are loving the Shea. And check out her juicy twists!

I took down my bun and had my sister snap a quick pic. I’m still having a hard time believing that I’m really APL. I wanted photographic evidence! 
It feels surreal after all the years of struggle. Like it was that simple this whole time?! Maybe that’s why I’m having such a hard time coming to grips with this. I expected it to be harder. I’m so grateful. You live and you learn. 
Thank you @Chicoro

Mixed up a small batch of Shea Mix.
Ordered some Nilotica from 3cayG. I just got the small one for 9$, then mixed it with my remaining Shea Butter, Almond Oil, and a bit of Coconut Oil, to make one batch that should last me for the entirety of July
I also did another test run on my skin, specifically my tattoos to see how it does with my color.
First one is washed skin, dried, then regular store bought lotion applied
Second one is washed skin, dried, but with my Shea Mix.
It deepened the black in my tattoo so nicely. Gosh I love it. Gonna really focus it on all my other tattoos. Especially the one on my back since it peels sometimes, depending on what it is I’m wearing.
Will be uploading pictures of my hair after I wash it tonight.

Your hair looks to be 1 inch past armpit length. And your hair looks to be about four (4) inches from bra strap length.
It's so thick and the texture is gorgeous.

Alright so full check in:
*sharp inhale*
Wash day. Wasn’t as frustrating as I thought it was going to be since I hadn’t put a brush to my head in over a month.
1. Pre-poo (Renpure ACV rinse), scalp only
2. Shampoo (Hair Food Manuka Honey and Apricot moisturizing shampoo - now my absolute fav shampoo)
3. Condition (Renpure Tea Tree and Lemon grass conditioner)
4. Detangled in four sections under running water
5. Deep Conditioned with a new product I found on Etsy. Y’all this stuff is so frothy and light. I love it.
6. Rinse
7. Leave ins (applied the Hair mask as a leave in since it’s light enough and I really like it)
8. Shea Butter Mix
This is all of the shedding that came out
Sorry for the globs of old product in it still
This is what my hair is looking like
Whatever that shop formulated that hair mask with it does a pretty good job of softening my new growth. So much so, that it felt like I relaxed it. I was like “hold up, I know they ain’t just put straightening stuff in here?!” But nah, just good formulation.
Length shot
Y’all I’m so ready to just hit my goal length!! Just get there already hair feets!!!
I had half a mind to put my hair up in some plaits, but I was so done with this wash day I just split down my hair down the middle and did two high buns and slapped my bonnet on. I’m tired y’all.
Peace out beauties

I just use a safflower oil found on my cooking oil aisle at the grocers, so I’m not sure.
