Am I APL Yet ?? Pics inside

Hello All,

I dont' post much, I consider myself to still be a "Newbie" but I just did a touch up and took a couple of pics and I am trying to reach APL, my future goal is to have BSL but to me it seems like I have been struggling for the last couple of years to just reach APL. It seems like I have been at this length forever!! I still consider my hair to be "Short" but I get compliments from others saying ooh you hair is long.. But to me Long is BSL or longer. But its kinda strange because I can look at someone else's hair that is APL and it seems long to me.. Weird I know..
However, I wanted to get you guys opinion. I added two pics the first one is a Touch up from May 30th and the second one is a touch up Aug. 20th and I don't believe there was a difference in growth although I wait 11 +weeks to relax.

Thanks for listening !

I can't really tell. Some of the pro's will chime in a minute with results. Your hair is beautiful though!

I can't tell in the last picture, but it looks pretty healthy and shiny. I hope you've made it.

IMO it seems like youre an inch maybe an inch and a half short of APL. You're almost there missy! In just a few short months you will be APL.

Thanks!!

The last two pics were taken the same day, and the very last one my head was tilted back some so its not a length shot, but I apprecaiate the compliments.

I also just looked at your album and your hair looks beautiful!! It's so full and healthy and long, I also forgot to mention that I did a Henna treatment right after the relaxer but it only stayed in for 10 min or less because it was Burning!!! I think it burned because I was sweating while I was doing my touch up.

I am going based upon the first pics the other two I honestly cant say anything on. Based upon the first pic No I dont think you are APL yet. You are SL perhaps another 3 inches or so and you will clearly be there.

You are close!!!!!

I can't really tell b/c of the angle but you definitely are making great progress judging from your last relaxer... great job!

I can't tell about the length, but your hair is really thick! You did a GREAT job improving the overall health of your hair.

Thick??? OH NO!!! I could only Wish.. LOL.. My hair is real fine and thin I think it's just the way it looks as a pic rather than in person. My hair is so thin that I hate wearing it down. I hope Henna will give me some improvement. Wow APL is definetly a hard hudle to jump I guess I will get there Spring of next year unless I use some growth aids.. hhhmm what is the New Growth aid that everyone is using now ? I use to use MTG last year and I tried Monistat last year two, is anyone still using Boundless Tresses ?

It looks like you are about an inch or two away from APL, you should definitely reach your goal by the years end:yep:
