What's your verdict? Am I officially APL?

[LoveLiLi]

Maybe you can take someone w/you to keep an eye on the stylist?

Oh, how I wish.
I'm going to let her know in no uncertain terms that I want her to dust/lightly trim my ends and watch her like a hawk in the mirror.

u seem to have passed apl.

 

[LoveLiLi]

Thanks, ladies!

I'm happy to report that I'm still apl after seeing the stylist. I almost panicked because the lady I saw the last time (who did a great job) left for school and I had to take a chance on someone new.

I let her know that I wanted my ends dusted and she rolled her eyes and laughed at first, but she knew I was serious and only took a little off.

[LoveLiLi]

Yeah you're there!
...and your hair looks so healthy and thick...reggie???

My reggie has changed a few times , but for the past several months I've made an effort to straighten more often to keep the split ends to a minimum. I have to admit, I cheated recently and didn't straighten it for several weeks .

• I shampoo once a week when straight and co-wash 2-3 times per week when wearing it natural.
• I apply a leave in (Elucence or AG Fastfood) and apply Sabino Moisture Block and let air dry for straight hair. I use leave in and a butter or an oil and put it in a bun when wearing it natural.
• Once dry, I apply a little more SMB and straighten on 400 if I'm wearing it out (very rare) or around 370 if I'm wearing it up.
• I put it in a loose bun at night and wear a silk scarf. I put a bit of coconut oil on the ends at night and I'll use Gro-aut or those growth enhancing ampules directly after washing when I remember. But it isn't often that I remember erplexed.

ETA: I deep condition weekly with either Alter Ego Garlic Treatment or ISH Ionic Rescue and I sporadically use henna or Nexxus Emergencee for strength.
