Naturals that were once relaxed post up your pics of your relaxed days!

[MsLizziA]

I look back on the days when my hair was permed and it was actually pretty! As far as health though, i had no idea what i was doing. I used to wash, condition, and flat iron my hair with nothing in it .

So post up pics your old hair and your newly natural hair!

This is the natural hair:

The relaxed pics are attached

My hair was bone-laxed LOL dry and brittle most of the time

These pictures are from 2006. The one of me in a blue dress is Dec 1, 2006 at a Christmas party. Nov 30, 2006 was the day of my last relaxer. I was just tired of relaxing. A few months later I BC'd.

Ok, here goes nothing:

Long layers

Long with highlights

Long pony

Chopped 8 inches for 1st transition attempt BC & relapsed
Short layers

Bar Swearing in 2006 (and 7 months preggo)

June 2009 (1 month into my transition)- My law firm pic

My hair was pretty healthy, but required too much maintenance. Also, my scalp was a hot, itchy, flaky mess! And when I get my hair flat ironed now, nobody can tell that I don't get relaxers anymore. Sorry my pics are so big!

I found these two old photos of me ignor my hugeness I was 8 or 9 months pregnant
trying to hide behind my oldest son I was sooooo huge.
the photos are fuzzy but I kept it short and relaxed bone straight so All I had to do was slick it back.
