Okay so I'm on the HYH challenge, but I felt the need to go ahead and post this as an inspiration to my shoulder length girls who are struggling.
Back in 2005 I embarked on my hair journey with damaged neck length hair. I went from there to APL in about a year with constant baggying and deep conditioning every other day throughout the summer. Here are the pics of that progress:
After reaching APL I thought I was all that...shooo, you couldnt tell me NOTHIN'!!!
Sooooo, I started blow drying and wearing my hair down ALL THE TIME no buns, no deep conditioning, no daily moisture. I was in full neglect mode just tryin to be cute, well this was the result by July 08:
Stopped me dead in my tracks when I saw that mess. Aint nothin cute about damaged, dry, breaking, thinning hair. :burning: My hair looked like dookey so I got back in full nurture mode again....boring but necessary.
After four months of bunning, deep conditioning and all around TLC, here is the end result:
I'm back at APL, but this time I did it in 4 months. Although not my ultimate goal, I am pleased I was able to recover from my negligence in such a short amount of time.
So to all you ladies out there who think APL is nearly impossible....ITS NOT!! Just keep trying with thorough deep conditioning, daily moisturizing and hiding those ends! I guarantee you'll see APL once your remain consistent with your regimen.
Happy growin'
I hope someone finds this to be useful.
