Do You Know What Today Is?? *PICS*

[Whimsy]

It's my Nappiversary!!!!!

I'm so grateful and happy!

Got some decent growth and retention despite some setbacks! I went from APL on BC day, to WL today!!!

In the past year I learned so much about my hair and what it can and cannot do. I'm loving it more and more each day and so grateful to be progressing as well as I have been.

Anyway, yall don't care about my blathering, so on to the pics, right!? lol

I posted more comparison shots on my blog: http://longnaturalhair.blogspot.com

Here are just a couple to show the then and the now.

I know the dates aren't exact, but these are the most representative pics I have at the ready, and you get the drift.

I'm going to keep taking good care of my natural hair and focusing on moisture and retention. Hopefully, in a year from now on my 2 year anniversary i will be able to post up some Hip Length shots!!! (pray for me)

I'm playing Tony Toni Tone's "Anniversary" all day today

Nah, I didn't win, but thanks. The votes got me into the top 48. The judges got me into the top 16, but I didn't make it to the top 8. The top 8 were the "winners" and got to compete for the grand prize.
