hey ladies! I've had my hair in a PS updo since Christmas Eve. I really like it and have gotten a ton of compliments on it from family, friends and strangers. The style took all of 15 mins to create.

I just took twisted synthetic braiding hair and wrapped it around my moisturized and sealed bun. I pinned the twists where I wanted them and that was it! :yep:

I'm late but id love to join in!

Current hair length

My hair grows in a V shape so the longest layer (middle nape area) is grazing APL. The rest of my nape is passing shoulder length, sides are passing chin/shoulder length and the front is passing my lips. 7' - 9' in length.


Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning

Natural

Goal Month

April '13-Sept '13 to give myself time and get the bulk of my hair to APL. Since that area will pass APL by Dec I may end up cutting my mid nape back to APL

Current Reggie and styling choices

Prepoo 1x week
Cleanse 1x week
DC 1-2xs week (dry, steam, or bonnet dryer)
Clarify at least every other month
Apply leave in to style and moisturize
Gel is optional
Scrunch light oil in hair when dry

*2 strand flat twists (ps)
*w&g (low manipulation)
*twist/braid out
*updo (low manipulation)

*pineapple at night to stretch and protect

What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?
Moisturizing more often mid week
Applying light oils to my ends more often
Continuing to pineapple to prevent matting and SSK's (barely get SSK's and I'd like to keep it that way)
Purchase some new wigs to hide my hair more often (ps) and a new satin pillow case
Keeping up with my current regimen
Increasing water intake and taking my daily vitamins which I slack on

Post a beginning picture
Will post beginning length check later on this evening

Yesterday was my 1 week post style (my regular wash days are every Thurs/Friday).
Since my hair resolution is to switch to only styling every 2 weeks...
I will not be washing again until next Thursday/Friday.

I hate the look of an "old" do.. but I need to make progress in 2013.

Lord give me strength.
 
Today I took out my three week old smallish (not mini) twists. I rocked a twist out for a few hours at the gym and running errands. Now I'm dcing with AOGPB and grapeseed oil. Love this combo. I'm not sure what leave in I should use. I think I will try the Darcy's Pumpkin seed conditioner as a leave in. I've been using it in a spritz and as a rinse out. I realize that I could never be a pj. I like to use my products till they're gone. I a;ready feel a bit overwhelmed with the little bit of stuff I picked up on Black Friday. Compared to some ppls stash, mine is child's play.
 
Hello Everyone!!

Join the Challenge

[*]Current hair length. My hair is a little past my shoulders

Hiya, thanks for letting me join this challenge :)

Current hair length: Shoulder length
Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Transitioning: Natural
Goal Month: 30 December 2013
Current Reggie and styling choices: I wash my hair every week with Shampoo (Organic olive oil root stimulator) and condition (Tresemme Naturals). I deep conditioner every one to two weeks, i'm not consistent.
Styles: I generally wear my hair in Twists, Bantu knots or plaits.
What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL? Not braiding. The front of my hair didn't do so well last winter when i removed the braids from my hair. I'll also try to sew in some satin into my hats to reduce friction with the fabric.
Post a beginning picture: Please see below :) Happy hunting all!
