   Hey ladies do you want to go for APL in 2008. Well, this is the challenge for you. 

ON average (and without growth aids!) our hair grows 1/2 an inch a month and that 6" a year so if you are SL or more you should be able to get APL by latest Dec 2008. I was inspired by the ladies on BHM as a lot of their members are BSL and past that. I think that we ladies of HB should step up to the plate and represent for our site! 

so how about it??? 

This is quite a hardcore challenge as optimum length and health are the main objective hair... you will have to protective style most of the year and stay away from scissors and also dc at least once a week!

You can join this challenge at any point in the year it dosen't have a joining period limit as long as you can attain APL by December 2008!

So who in this????

RULE

Protective styling 75 to 100% of the week 
Deep condition (min 1 hour) at least once a week. 
Protein treatment at least once a month(or modify for your hair) 
Moisturising deep conditioner at least once a month (or modify for your hair) 
Dusting is allowed but you can only trim 1 1/2 inch max twice in 12 month period and only if much needed 
Baggy ends at least 4 days a week (gold level 5 days a week and platinum level 7 days a week!) 
Pre-poo, co-wash etc all to your own requirements 
Length of hair can only be revealed max 5 times during challenge period and only on special occasions (wedding/birthday etc) until big reveal! This is so you shock the hell out of all those who did'nt beleive it was possible for you to attain waistlength with you own hair! 
(Optional extras) Bronze level - heat allowed only 2 x a month . Gold level - heat allowed only 1 x a month. Plaitnum level - no heat allowed! 
(Optional extras) 64oz water daily for Bronze and 96oz water daily Gold/Platinum 
(Optional extras) Daily hair related supplement like biotin or vitamin b complex etc!
I thought to make this fun we could have different levels of dedication to the challenge!
Bronze level

Pick 4 out of 8 of the rules to follow for the challenge (number 1 must be one of your choices as it is important for retaining growth!)

Gold level
Pick 6 out of 8 of the rules to follow for the challenge (number 1 must be one of your choices as it is important for retaining growth!)
Plaitnum level

All the rules are followed! (optional extras are like it says optional!)

All challenger please post what level you are challenging at and what techniques you will use and have worked for you so far to attain length. Pics are optional and fotki links will be good too! We should also have a 3 to 6 monthly length update! 

GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND HAPPY GROWING!
