*Jay- Z voice* Allow me to re-introduce myself!!!
So this January Marked one year of hair care on LHCF and 2 years into my healthy hair care journey.
Here's my speil...I have always been natural mostly because I excersize a lot and I keep my hair braided or pulled back. I have never had a problem growing hair and I attribute that to PSn but my hair has always been damaged and uneven because I never knew how to care for my hair! around my senior year of HS my hair was BSL but no healty. My mom took me to a salon to "train" my hair and it all fell of to about 1 inch in a matter of months *I dont have pics of these days*
about 3years later and lots braids and cornrows later I started to wear my hair out more. I found a decent beautician and she gave me a regular press and curl. and trained my hair. I became bored with my hair quickly and I was tired of depending on a stylist.
Press and curl days:
Around this time my college room mate introduced me to natural hair via YT only problem is she didnt explain to me some of the specifics lmao
1) I have never had a perm sooooo why did I do a big chop I just thought it was some thing you did to "go natural"
here is my choped hair I choped mid feb 2008:
this was pre LHCF so I tried styles but I still wasnt doing much for the health of my hair but here are some looks I had ( I liked this length) I felt spunky!
corn row out
straw set
So Jan 2009 I discover LHCF and my hair has done 360! B4 LHCF I never trimmed didnt know about moisture protein balance, or how to detangle properly
So june 2009 I did my first length check....dont laugh yall but I was hella mad at my ends I was like my hair looked better b4 all this "natural stuff" ...I show this just so U can see my humble beginnings.
fast forward to sept 2009 My hair looks thicker and healthier
starting sept I began to agressively PS! my hair grew a lot but I didnt do 1 trim or S&D between sept 2009 and this weekend bad idea! My "S&D" turned into a 2 inch trim BUT I still see progress!!!! So I wanted to share since this length check bring me to 1 year with LHCF and 2 years "natural" this feb
3 pics from Jan 29 2010.... I didnt take pics pre trim sorry..... but the finished product is what counts right!
I took 3 posses to compare with my other photos.... I think from now on I will continue my pics with my arms down so I can see when I hit APL and BSL and what not more accurately.
And finally I went out of town this weekend and cut "Michelle Obama" bangs! I love LHCF because my hair finally looks fly after a year It was like I took my hair on vaction too!
Jan 30 2010 I used a SEDU!!! im in love with that thing!
Welp! now I am going back to aggressively PSn/weaving till june! Thanks for letting me get that out.... I told yall it was pic heavy lol
