Finally, I have a little time to post my update before summer school starts. 
This is long so I'll break it up into 2 - 3 posts.
Anyway, first a little history. I have been APL or beyond BSL most of my life. Here are pics of my college graduation and a little after (note, these are pictures of a picture
)....
Then, 2 years before I found this board (in 2005) I did a "BC". I cut my beyond BSL hair to shoulder length. I was going through a life crisis and my hair was the first casualty.
erplexed I wasn't really into taking pictures then so all I have a pic of is my first cut. I had a ballet recital and needed enough hair for a bun so my first BC was still shoulder length. Here was my inspiration pic by Kelly Rowland:
After my recital I slowly started chopping more and more away until I had some really deep, funky choppy layers, some an inch or so long. No pictures of my shortest cut. But here's the first BC:
I had fun with cutting for over a year, and then in early 2006 I decided to start growing it out. Here I am back at SL (on the right). My twin was graduating from law school and she has natural, MBL hair.
Next chapter in my hairstory - FINDING LHCF.......
