bellydancer said:thanks a lot ladies... i wowwed myself when I took the pictures. I didn't think it grew that much. it needs a huge trim, but I never thought I'd make it this far. To answer some of your questions...
(1)How long have you been natural?
I really can't remember. It took two years to transition and I was fully natural my 12th grade year so I think 2 to 3 years. Maybe two and a half.
(2)How long did it take to grow your hair this long?
I didn't do the big chop. It was shoulder length by the time I trimmed off the rest of the relaxer (well it broke off more than I trimmed it). From my shoulders to where it is now... 2 to 3 years. I didn't find LHCF until a year and a half ago though. So I really took a year and a half to get where I am, thanks 2 u ladies.
(3) What is your routine?
I have been so lazy with my routine because it's a hassle to wash my hair with our shower broken. I usually wash once a week with Creme of Nature shampoo, Condition overnight with Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol (no mineral oil!!!), and then put in my Pro-line Comb-thru Moisturizer and a little olive oil and style. I've been wearing the baggie lately, but in the summer I'm going back to doing the two stranded twists. I might do that AND the baggie.
(4) How does it feel to have that much natural beautiful hair?
GREAT!!!! I felt so sexy rocking my fro. I get a lot of compliments!
Thanks for the responses bellydancer!
