Thank you. Truth is...I have very fine, and low density hair. I wash it often to keep it fluffy-looking. I'm not yet confident enough to claim shoulder length yet. But next time....

Blame the Mineral Rich for the accelerated growth.
Ohh, I started my second bottle of this, this week. I notice an energy boost. Maybe I'll get a growth spurt from it too...
Maybe I will get it washed tonight.

I cant wait to take these braids out. I took out about 5 braids just to see if I have any matting or other issues. And surprise, surprise I'm having no issues. The ACV must of really helped. And of course I couldn't resist doing an impromptu length check. The front is still the same 9' but the back is 10'. So I didn't gain anything in front but I did gain alittle over 1/2' in the back. I have about 1-2 wks left in these braids.
I have found a couple of protective styles that I cant wait to try. Here's one of them

I had hoped to reach these by the end of the 1st quarter but didn't make it. I realized mybtoals were a bit aggressive.
As of today I can do all 4 but its still a bit of a struggle with all of them. Just going to ride it out with the flat twist and reevaluate at the end of September.
At least I'm seeing some progress. Each month should just get a bit better.

Can't wait to see it. She made it look so easy.
@DarkJoy uh, say what now? Mineral Rich? What is that??Blame the Mineral Rich for the accelerated growth.
ok so here's my lc. I initially felt disappointed, but in retrospect, I have been able to bananaclip my hair and wear it in two canerows whereas I could not do it before. It seems like my hair is growing out instead of down which is fine. That stripe of red in the front is my hennaed greys. Sorry they are huge, the upload is weird now.

I spoke too soon
As I was taking more braids out, I noticed I have matting all around my hair line and nape. However, I didn't panic. I used some of what I learned from the thread on how to remove braids safely. So, far I'm gently pulling the hair apart and tackling it in sections. I still might wait the 2wks to fully take the braids out and just take down the areas that have the matting.
I refuse to lose my .25' of growth

I finally got my Mohawk shaped how I wanted it! Since I have been getting it trimmed at the top, I'm 2 1/2 inches now, so by the end of Aug, I hope to have gained another inch.

Gotta touch up the purple again. Just using color. My hair isn't long enough to touch up the roots right now.

You don't know that. I think if you find a way to keep your end hidden you will reach it just fine. I think the SL to APL struggle comes from people not protecting their ends. Find what works for you between now and December, stick to it and I think you will reach APL just fine.

I wish I could've kept using Mineral Rich. I was excited about the prospect of more energy and hair growth. That Youtuber that spoke so highly of Mineral Rich had me convinced, and I hurried and found some.
I liked the taste and would drink it straight- no chase. But then, I had horrible tummy issues with it and couldn't continue to see if I would feel the energy and hair growth boost.
I still believe it's a winner because so many have used it and been happy with results.

Sorry your tummy gets upset. Apparently some can't take the original version. Theres one where the liquid is aloe and folks say their tummy issues went awsy with that formula. T bh, my tummy doesnt like the the full dose either of the aloe. So I take 1tbsp 3 times a week or so and im fine.
My next experiment will be to try 1 tsp in my DC and see what happens
