Thanks for the good wishes brg240! If it isn't cute, I'll just comb it out, wrap it up and throw on a wig :yep:

MsCoCo- thank you for starting this thread and for your compliments about my hair...I was feeling down about my hair progress and the scissor-happy stylist giving me ANOTHER mini chop, but in usual LHCF style, my hair sisters lifted my spirits and got me ready to get to work in 2011! I love all you ladies, I wouldn't have made it this far in transitioning without your guidance, support, and encouragement! I am still nervous about the journey, but I KNOW I can do it bc so many of you already have and are cheering me on! I must be about to start my cycle bc I am uber sentimental LOL :lachen: :lachen: Happy New Year Ladies!
 
I'm here JJamiah! I just posted my reveal (as well as some henna shots in the MBL 2010 Reveal thread). It took forever.

Why haven't you posted your reveal pix yet ma'am...or did you do them last month?

I swear every time I come from the Dominican salon my hair looks so thin! You would hardly believe how thick it really is...

I did do it last month; but I can't get them big, they keep staying small like in my album :(

I won't reveal early this time and I have to post to my album first then to my fotki, because for some reason they resize it. :(
 
I'm in!!!

Ill have my starting pic up monday, I have about 3-3.5 inches of hair stretched (ear,forehead,mid neck) I went to straighten it then thought about my one year BC-iversary I want my full six inches dag nabbit!!! I will be using wash and go's with the occasional wig braid underneath combo... I have been really inspired by JJamiah, and decided to take the plunge!!!!

Hello starshines:creatures: Elle says hello!!!

Awwww!:grouphug3: LilMiss, that's what we're here for...to encourage and cheer one another on. Ultimately we're all here for the same goal, strong healthy hair. I think your hair is positively gorgeous, and what better way than to start fresh? Make sure you baby those ends and keep them nice and blunt. Plus, if your hair is anything like mine, it'll start growing like a weed since you've gotten it cut (I find that my hair tends to grow it's fastest when I've done a major cut).

You're seriously making me miss my bob! :lick: I LOVE your hair!
 
Thanks MsCoCo!!! I miss my angled bob, which is why I was in such a down mood...The regular bob is cute, but I just knew the angled one would be fly until I was ready to BC! But I am over it now...I tried several times and they always cut it incorrectly, so I am done :ohwell: So now I'll just wear a wig with one when I feel the urge :lol: So, don't miss your bob too much, get a wig with one and you can have a bob anytime LOL :yep:
 
Looking for reviews on the Aphogee 2 step before I invest my money. Is it only for permed, relaxed, or dyed hair??? Because I usually wear braids and weaves, but my hair is getting a little thin, so I want to know if Aphogee will or can help.
 
Here is my starting pic

My shots for the start. I apologize - I can't get a good back shot to save my life. :grin: Here's to good luck!

Oh and I am loving the HYH 2010 Reveal thread! Just the motivation/inspiration I need to get this challenge off to a good start. Happy New Year Everyone!
 
Here are some pics of my new half wig - Tammy by Outre in a number 2. I cut her A LOT and she is still pretty long to me but I'm gonna rock it. This wig is REALLY soft and easy to manage.

So the bantu knot out was an EPIC fail LMAO My hair was sticking up and out all kinda ways LOL One knot loosened while I was sleeping and the hair stuck straight up! I mean refused to go downward, even after finger combing :lachen: :lachen: I was dying laughing looking at myself in the mirror :lol: It was ok looking and I was rushing out for a meeting assuming I'd take a pic in an hour...it had completely fallen in a hour! :blush: It just looked like I had raggedy, uneven, uncombed hair :spinning: I was like WTF Then I realized I had put NO product in my hair (bc I hate using most products), so no wonder everything fell!!! :nono: :lachen: :lachen: So I even failed at getting a picture of my failure :lachen: :lachen: I tried to wrap it up and it won't even do that bc I have random hair pieces with weird bends going in every direction :lol: I will just chuck it up as a "blonde" day and keep it moving :drunk: But I thought the 24h of having them in would help, but no maam :think: SMH at my damn self :dork: :spank: :dighole:
