Amazon...I paid about $25

Just a question, when do you all think you will reach APL? I expect mine to be there at march 2013! (or at least i hope so.. my hair grows slow!)

I put my hair into a Gibson Tuck yesterday. Maybe stuffing hair into a pocket of other hair isn't as gentle as I thought....look at all this damage from about 14 hours in the Tuck.

I'm going to have to trim at least another inch off. *bangs head on laptop* I tried to salvage the ends with Toadstool's deep conditioning treatment as a leave-in today, but now that I'm air-dried it, I can tell there are more splits than I really care to S&D for. I'm probably going to have to go solid shoulder, maybe an inch above my collarbone by the end of the week to even everything else out. -.-

It sucks because I may not be able to use my 60th street fork when it comes in the mail this month due to an earlier 3-inch trim to lop-off a few more of my awful layers. x.x

I think I'll just stick with French Twists and Cinnabuns for now and stop experimenting with hairdos for a while.

I think I'll be about the same, maybe even later depending how much damage I have to trim off before then. I'm hoping to get to APL before I have to seriously start to cut off damage though.

I wear mine in two braids, but I've been doing it only for a month or so. Before that I just wore it loose. I use cotton satin pillow cases - they are probably not as hair friendly as silk or polyester satin, but they are comfortable and I don't seem to get damage from them.

My hair is APL now if I pull it straight, but I'm getting it trimmed on Thursday and want to wait until it's APL without needing to pull it. Probably I'm there by Christmas.

eta: ApatheticFairy, I'm so sorry, I didn't know it could do that :(

By/before Halloween I hope to declare solid APL. I won't be trimming again for a long time probably around Christmas/My Bday. Sometimes I look APL but another half an inch will seal the deal.

Hi Ladies! Can I join in here? I just got to shoulder length (complete with shoulder flippies) and omw to APL! :)

Congrats :)

Of course Kilandra welcome and happy growing! :)

I really don't understand how a tuck would be able to do that damage to your ends. I am floored. So sorry. You are sure it's SPLITS? And not just dry and frizzy ends. Have you tried oiling?
