NATURALS: post a PIC OF YOUR RELAXED DAYS

[Alta Angel]

My hair usually looked nice when relaxed, but over the years it got thinner (especially at the temples). My hair is thicker now and has more body than it ever has.

Wow, BostonMaria, this is OT but methinks you have that curious case of Benjamin Button going on. Shouldn't you be looking older in your latest pic? You look like you're the younger sis of the lady in red. Whatever it is you're eating/doing, it's working nicely!

Woot! Woot! Nonie I always knew you were awesome LOL

My secret: black don't crack LOL j/k

I'm gonna choose photos from my freshman year of HS, back when my relaxed hair was looking and not

The natural pictures are all from the past month or so.

glamazon386, you hair looks totally amazing now! i can't believe those relaxed pics are yours...wow!

Thanks! Girl yes my relaxed hair was a hot mess in college! I cut it short my freshman year after damage from braids and it just went downhill from there. I swore off braids but usually kept it covered under wigs and weaves. That's actually how I found this board in the first place. I was trying to find a way to get it back on track after a string of bad stylists and overprocessing. After being here for about a year I decided to BC and that was all she wrote. Looking back at these pictures now I see that my hair has thickened up a lot. Especially when straight. It still feels thin to me now, but it has come a long way from where it was 5 years ago.

[Amoreofcurls]

ahhh I wish I had pics of my texlaxed hair

I used to texlax once or twice a year...but I just stopped, grew my hair out and continued pressing and weaving...

My hair wasnt relaxed in any of these pics but it def wasnt healthy, I had alot of heat damage and breakage...that made me start a healthy hair journey...

I was definately a weavaholic!!

Heres bob I cut my hair into around Feb/March 08, a few months before I started my HHJ (Sept 08), this was technically my BC...

My hair now

In school my hair was pretty long. But I used to do this to it, everyday.

So it kept getting shorter and thinner . Until it got to this:

After a wash and blow dry:

And then I found LHCF and started caring for my hair so I went and got it cut in the hairdressers, so I could start over:

A few months after that I started transitioning.

OMG these pics bring back memories! Lol!
