love this thread. great job ladies! give me a month...

Question: How are you ladies making comparision pics? What programs are you using? I'd like to make comparsion pics but don't know how...

Don't laugh at me but I just resize both pictures and copy them into Microsoft Paint LOL Pretty simply really. I'm Paintbrush Pro Illiterate

this time thick from root to tip

Your hair did a 180 and looks so healthy now! I've been guilty of holding on to scraggly ends too.

My Siggy shows my progress from Feb. when I joined until November or so. The attachment shows Feb (white top and pony), June (red-no pony shot), and December (gray and red top w/pony for comparison) respectively. I'm pretty happy with my first year here.

Great progress! What a huge difference in the ponytail pictures!

Here are mine! I decided to show my twists cuz I was shocked at how much my hair has changed. I didn't straighten or take any stretched pics when I BC'd, so this is the best I can do.

Just wanted to let you know that the pictures didn't show up on your post

Took me over an hour just to view the pics in Fotki, but I fixed them.

[thaidreams]

[Ediese]

This year I finally went natural.

Question: How are you ladies making comparision pics? What programs are you using? I'd like to make comparsion pics but don't know how...

Great progress! If you have a PC, you should have Microsoft Paint. That's what I use for my comp pics.

 

[ReeseNicole]

can someone explain to me how to add a pic when editing a post

 

[Junonia]

I trimmed a lot these past few months to even my hair. I don't think I will ever have a blunt look but I would like more of a U shape

 

[anon123]

Here are my year end pics. This is the longest my hair has EVER been.

Thank you Official APL in 2009 Challengers and the knowledgeable ladies of LHCF!!!

You have a lovely head of hair.

JANUARY 09'
​

Texlaxed/Transitioning - Nape and edges fell out from neglect

I tried to hide the nape and edges damage while they grew back out.

Root Wall - I think this was about my 6th month of transitioning.



JUNE 09'

BIG CHOP - Completely natural. Nape and edges are much better too I cut off around 5 inches.



JULY 09'

Wash n' Gos - Had to stop doing these so often to avoid single strand knots. I also did a trim to get rid of some knots.




SEPTEMBER 09'

9 month Edges Progress

9 Month Nape Progress

Stretched Length




OCTOBER 09'

Dry Comb Out + Coconut Oil

Twistout!




NOVEMBER 09'

2 month Comparison



DECEMBER 09'

Naked Hair

Twist Out

That's all. From January to now there have been AMAZING changes. At the beginning of this year, I wouldn't have thought my hair would be so healthy. Thank you all so much for all your knowledge, help and SUPPORT!

Looking forward to more growth in 2010!

Sorry about all the pictures, I'm just excited and happy when I look back!

Dec 2009
After another trim that turned into a cut...when will I ever learn​

[/IMG]

I sure wish I would have been APL by now, but I'm positive I will make it in 2010! The frequent trims/cuts, lack of a good reggie, and being 5'10 were the things that held me back in 2009....

 

[dimechiq]

Yep! Place holder til Jan 2010 when I start my journey and post my pics!

Will have made my dr's appt by then to see whats causing the thinning
started my vits consistently
started my regrow edges regimine consistently

 

[EccentricRed]

Hey ladies! My photos are in my siggy. December 08 to December 09. I won't be straightening my hair for awhile, so I won't be taking too many length check pictures.

HHG!

Is that the same camisole in both pictures? How did your hair grow that fast in only 6 weeks? You've got to share your secret! Wow!

yes ma'am it is! i've designated that shirt as my length check shirt to try and keep things consistent

i dont have any secretes. i just try and keep things as simple as possible since i'm so lazy. honestly i thing the best thing that i do for my hair is bunning. i bun any where between 5-7days out of the week yr around. BUNS ARE AWESOME!

and thank you... i was impressed with my self as well. i did everything i could to keep the pix as consistent with each other as possible. oh! and i'm 5'5 just in case

Great thread. It made me look at how far Ive come and appreciate my growth. I've been a little bummed about the 2 inches I lost . I could've almost been BSL.

Ive reached a short term goal this month of being APL without pulling my hair down with my fingers. It hangs right at the APL line.

 

[shae101s]

neith and auburn...freaking amazing progress,...everyone else congrats on the great triumphs!!

Alrighty..back..and here are my comps:

And for more...with the flat iron hair comp..check here: More Pics...
