So this time last year I was halfway through my 9 month transition, I had made it a little past APL ETA: I was 4 months post here. I got my hair flat ironed at the salon
In January I got some individual braids and kept those in until March
Since I knew I was about to BC, I stopped "caring" and this was the result, after taking the braids out. I knew I had to chop soon
I got curious...
Pic of newgrowth. I wore it in a low bun until BC time
Day of the BC April 18, 2010
Twists immediately after the BC
Those were in for a month, here is my hair right after taking the twists down
Same day, just done washing
In July I figured I'd get a trim. Well I blew it out before going to the salon and this is what I had to work with
So she got me right. My hair was all chopped up, she cut those nasty ends off and this was the result
Here it is unmanipulated
And now in November
can't wait for my 1 year Natural update
Sorry for those that have to see/read this numerous times because I've posted it in several places.
ETA: I joined LHCF in 2010 and didn't have any goals, so I guess I did okay for my first year. I didn't start taking pics until months after joining.
I have goals for 2011 - BSL with a healthy nape and full edges (still have a few issues on the right side). I think I'm almost there with my length but the nape area needs some work. It's nowhere near the length of the rest of my hair. I had a setback earlier this year due to a stretch gone bad so I also want to grow hair back in those areas. I'll take MBL in 2011 it happens but doubt I'll be interested in going any length longer than that.
