Apl 2016 Challenge

@wish4length
@faithVA is strict on these doors. She's already flinging me out of SL Challenge and most of my hair is NL (not almost APL like my nape). I was like , but she's right. You can always hang out in both. It looks like you will be passing APL in no time.

 

[faithVA]

It's really for the front of my hair which isn't at APL...

Yes I understand. It was just an offer. 3 months will go by quickly.

I tried to be nice about it but folk just come in laying on my couch, eating up all my food. Sometimes you just have to put folk out. Let your long hair swang as you go through the door. Um hmm

You know I love you.

thank you! And what about your color? Do you do it yourself or salon? I'm curious bc I'm looking for an alternative to henna as I get more grey hairs. Now henna is my boo, but I kind of think I'd like to go lighter in years to come.

The color is definitely professional. Chile, if I tried to color, I would have no hair on my head. I have to color because I am a pre-mature greyer-- I started graying at 19 . I get it touched up every 6-8 months (twice a year). I should go sooner but in an effort to have healthy hair, if I colored every time I saw grey, I'd be at the salon every two weeks.

My official April length check:
April 16th will be my 6 month hair anniversary since my mini BC I couldn't find the charger to my camera so I was stuck using my iphone again. And idk what length overall my hair is at this point. I'm gonna claim full chin length for now lol

I would definitely claim FULL SL...you are on the grow!!!!

Started my new position this week so I've been rocking a faux bun out of convenience & ease. I'll be cowashing tonight & doing a twistout tonight. Hopefully it comes out right or I will be putting it right back up into a bun in the morning. I'll do a length check after I cowash & post pics.

Oh & I dyed my hair black about two weeks ago to match the bun that I bought. My normal hair color is brown.

So what do you do with your roots for 6 months? My roots and edges are super gray after 1.5 months.

Mine too...my edges are just so prone to breakage so I kinda deal with it...as long as I don't wear it straight back-- the blended grey and blonde isn't too bad...

 

[mostamaziing]

It's really for the front of my hair which isn't at APL...

Are you natural? Your hair is so pretty and ends are full I struggled with straggly looking ends from heat damage

 

[jennifer30]

I need you guys for a while longer

thank you! I started greying in my mid 20s so I feel you! Luckily, it was just a patch and some sprinklings, but the patch is definitely bigger now. how do you deal with your root situation? just rock it out?

Miss Faith you are too much!!!!!

I finally did a length check for the year. I still haven't trimmed as yet but what the heck? My trim is due the end of this month so I'll add the pic now and maybe one afterwards.

Here goes:

 

[Aggie]

I have something to say about reaching full APL/BSL/MBL - that will not happen for me. My hair grows in a constant V at the back because my lead hair are there and I'm claiming APL because even though my hair on top of my head are not there yet. If I had to wait for the top of my head to reach APL, I would constantly be cutting off my lead hairs at the nape of my neck and that ain't happenin'.

Right now, I'm APL but I have a trim scheduled at the end of the month and I don't know quite where I'll be then, so I'm holding my spot here until after the trim.

I know right. I can't make them leave. I guess I'm going to have to move out and just leave them here.
