APL 2012 Challenge

^^^^^^^congrats^^^^^^^

I'm claiming APL even if its barely. I'm happy with my progress from a year ago. I recovered from a badly damaged nape and had to constantly trim to keep my hair even while my nape grew out. I think I had at least 2 inches trimmed in 2012 and in 2013 I'll be doing maintenance dusting only.

This is my comparison length check a year ago on 12/29/2011:

Soooo, I know it's a few days early, but I wanted to post this before I finish braiding up my hair...

I made it to APL!!!!

I also decided to transition (again), so a lot of my hair will be chopped over the course of the next year, but it was still nice to meet this goal!

Just wanted to share! I'm going to post my progress over the last year - hopefully the pics don't come out too big.

The pics are from January (before trim), March, June, September, and December (while transitioning).

Thanks for all your support! See you in 2013!

Congrats to making APL! Your growth is amazing. Are u transitioning to natural or texlax?

@http://www.longhaircareforum.com/member.php?u=353889pelohello - I am transitioning to natural. This is my 3rd attempt - I haven't been able to make it past 8 mos. post and I'm trying to transition w/o the BC. Hopefully, I can do it this time.

I braided my hair in jumbo box braids, so hopefully I can use it as a PS to help keep me from relapsing on the creamy crack!

Good luck everyone, you can do it!

The challenge is over; we have already done it.

Just bump up your own thread so people see it. You will turn people off if you keep spamming threads.

Thanks ladies! I'm so relieved and excited now that I completed another milestone. jprayze, that last minute mad dash to APL was intense , lol! I can't wait to feel the weight of my hair on my back at BSL, I'm going into 2013 really, really hard!

btw- your siggy is pretty!

girl now you know i told ya'll i feel like Blind Willie's Bald Headed Cat! but thank you! i know i should have made my year goal. all of that trimming and setbacks just messed me up. i'm going to do better though. i know what not to mess with this time around. i was trying so many things the beginning of this challenge and that setback taught me to take a few pegs down and really get to know what my hair was lacking.

My sister lives in another state so I don't see her that much but when I see her, I always get her to roller set my hair. She hasn't done it since July and she said your hair is longer now! . You know a comparison pic is coming once I take these rollers out. Have a great weekend ladies!

I have my end of the year picture. I think I touch apl again. I just relaxed my hair and blow dried. I am doomed to a v shape.

I'm not sure whether to join BSL or APL 13. What do you ladies think?

Shortdub you are grazing BSL
